Internationally acclaimed time-lapse film maker and photographer Rob Whitworth brings magical Cappadocia alive in his flow-motion hyperlapse film for Turkish Airways. The visually stunning clip, which highlights the tourist attractions in the region, took six weeks to shoot over the course of two months and two seasons. The effortless blending of multiple photography techniques and precise After Effects work culminates in a breathtaking finished product which pushes boundaries and leaves no doubt as to why Whitworth's videos have over 9 million online views.
Whitworth's desire to bring the region’s amazing history and culture is clearly exhibited through his impeccable attention to detail and willingness to brave all of the elements, including temperatures which hit -19 degrees Celsius. The dramatic shots showing the contrast between winter and summer alongside the vibrancy of the hot air balloons hovering in the skies have an entrancing effect on viewers. During the course of filming, Whitworth relied on the high ISO of his Nikon D500 and Sony a6300 to capture the darkness of the Cappadocia caves.
It seems like a lot of post production work needed to be done due to the enormity of the project, but the end result was certainly worth it. The video is as glorious as Withworth's other projects, and he certainly has encapsulated the beauty and history of Cappadocia, Turkey.
