Posted a few weeks ago, this gorgeous video shows Dubai in a light that you've never seen it in before. By stitching together different time-lapse videos, Rob Whitworth, the filmaker, tells the story of the city, from arrival at the airport to a vertigo-inducing stare off of Burj Khalifa. It took three months to create. The three-minute clip takes you inside buildings, out to the desert and up above the city for some skydiving.
Although some parts are so real looking it almost seems fake, the clip is a Vimeo staff pick and it is easy to see why.
Whitworth explains his motivations behind making the movie as, "My first impression of Dubai was that of super-tall buildings jutting out of the desert sand. However, after 3 months of exploration, research and filming, my lasting impression is of the eternal wonder of the desert and the importance it holds for the Emirati people."
