A Cape Town time-lapse artist has captured some breathtaking footage around South Africa from township scenes to larni shopping centres, cool spots and hot spots, starry skies to ocean vistas from Cape Town to Durban and up to Joburg. Watch below.

Namibian-born Rory Allen has released A Lapse In Time: Volume III, an awe-inducing compilation of his time-lapse work across South Africa and everywhere from Germany to Namibia, the Seychelles to Thailand, and Vietnam to Zambia.

“Time-lapse always evokes a lot of emotion in a viewer because they can now see something that wasn’t visible to the naked eye before, which adds awe and wonder,” says the self-taught artist.

Over the past five years, Rory has established himself as one of Africa’s top time-lapse photographers.

Time-lapse videos stitch together photographs taken over a long period, creating the illusion of condensed time. Time-lapse artists need to balance the principles of photography with those of cinematography, as they are responsible for photographing each and every frame in what becomes a 25-frames-per-second video sequence.

While drones have increased in popularity and accessibility over the last few years, Rory has noticed a resurgence of interest in time-lapse recently.

“Time-lapse footage always stands out,” he says… although he admits that’s he’s also just bought a drone.

A former digital and graphic designer, Rory is represented as a filmmaker by The Video Cartel and is the co-founder of Bob Loves Dylan, a take-away show series he shoots with local and international musicians.
