Where the Road Ends

4,902 views 4 months ago

Using Google Street View, we "drove" thousands of miles around the world to find places where the road ends. Our virtual travels took us from the fields of Italy to the fjords of Norway and the tip of South Africa.

This video was inspired by Alan Taylor's In Focus photo gallery, "The Ends of the Road": http://theatln.tc/16nGCQ0

The Street View "hyperlapse" shots were made possible by the team at Teehan+Lax, who created an open source Street View hyperlapse script. Special thanks goes to Jonas Naimark and Peter Nitsch for all of their help.

To create your own hyperlapse, visit the T+L hyperlapse site here: hyperlapse.tllabs.io/ Show less
