Amsterdam - My Home 4K | Timelapse Film
Фильм және анимация
My long awaited timelapse film about my current hometown Amsterdam is finally finished! This film consists of footage shot during a 2 year period (mostly before COVID), has all different seasons transitioning into each other and even has a lunar eclipse above the city skyline.
With this timelapse film I wanted to create something unique. I wanted to create a visual experience with beauty, flow and emotion. I want locals to be proud of their city when they watch this film, and tourists wanting to visit (even more). I put this all in a film packed with little details. There’s a big ‘fun facts’ list that can all be read on a dedicated page I created.
Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful (and relatively little) cities in the world. Our city is not ‘spectacular’ as it does not have impressive skyscrapers and hyper modern buildings. But It’s just the whole atmosphere with our beautiful old buildings, romantic canals and everything that comes with it.
I’m super excited to finally release this film and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
For more info, gear, image galleries and fun facts, please check the whole project at www.timelapseamsterdam.com

The beauty of this timelapse is, that its quite accurate of what it actually looks and sounds like in Amsterdam when visiting it

The only thing bugging me is the tawny owl call in the center of the city. Makes as much sense as a lion's roar in a daytime shot. The photography is beautiful.

I agree, but Amsterdam has become much quieter. With cafes and pubs closed, there is not much to do for tourists in Amsterdam right now. Maybe in a couple of months but at the moment everything is closed in the evenings (another lockdown 😕) Amsterdam must reinvent itself , the days of mass tourism are over

Goddamn. Definitely the best timelapse I have ever seen. I can't imagine the dedication it entailed. Thank you for this gem of a timelapse, truly wonderful.

This is truly an incredible piece of art. What an amazing gift to the city of Amsterdam and its people. As a budding timelapse enthusiast (and Amsterdam resident) I can't describe in words how much technical skill and artistic creativity is required to pull something as good as this off. Congratulations, Albert.

I am from Belgium and I absolutely adore the Netherlands! Hallo Nederland, groetjes van jullie zuiderburen, en tot ooit, Amsterdam!
I am from the beautiful Greece, however I believe Amsterdam is the most beautiful European city for me. That's why i have been there four times and everytime i notice something different something new! This video is a masterpiece. Reflects in the best way what Amsterdam is. Combines a western Metropolitan area with picturesque and traditional architecture. It's a city full of life but in the same time gives you a calmness! In the video i saw all of these and much more reasons to love Amsterdam! This from a person who loves New York but after this video i would choose Amsterdam!Congratulations for your job!

You are a true artist who has captured the soul of a lively city in such finest measures. Your work will be inspiration to a lot of people. Thanks for inspiring people around you in such unprecedented times. Work like this video, will be always etched in memory of a lot of KZread viewers.

Wauw zeg, mooi gedaan. Ook met alle seizoenen die voorbijkomen. Uiteindelijk is het regenachtige miezer weer ook iets dat gewoon bij de stad hoort. Goed dat dit ook voorbij komt :) I still get the shivers seeing de Dam empty.
Beautiful! Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in the world. I miss it 💔
This is without doubt the single most beautiful and astonishing piece of video I have seen focusing on my favourite city in the whole world. It is absolutely stunning. Wow. Everything about it is just incredible, the edits, the dissolves, the sound, the execution, the colours...it really does condense into just 5 succinct minutes what every other video on Amsterdam that I have trawled KZread for the past few years has tried to do....it even messes with your sense of time, the sheer relentless pace of the imagery and yet what felt like several minutes was only two...and then when five minutes comes along you feel as if you had just witnessed about an hour's worth of footage, and beyond! Getting those shots inside the tram is beyond astonishing! That sense of intensity of movement is all so real!! I have been back to the city 20 times in just over as many years, repeated visits made simply because I had long fallen in love with the whole Dutch way of life. Once I'd done the initial selected obvious 'tourist' sights from the first two trips in 1999, I didn't need to do that again, instead exploring wider and further afield and getting to know the various outer neighbourhoods of the city, including the Noord side across the river Ij....plus a few outlying cities too like Haarlem and - recently - the beautiful Utrecht. I really wish I could live there in the Netherlands though, unfortunately I am stuck here in the UK in another maritime city with a lot of undoubted history but not much decent [social or other] infrastructure: the place of my birth - Liverpool. This unbelievable little film just makes me yearn to be back there seeing those exact same landmarks and sights all over again......what a masterwork! Thank you!
I lived in this beautiful city for two years and after watching this video it brought tears to my eyes! Until next time, lots of love #MyAmsterdam!
Beautiful piece of art. Feel privileged to have experienced these scenes alive for thousands of times. Day and night, sober and drunk. What a city.
I'm from India and I'm speechless... damn the Netherlands is such a beautiful place, it brings tears to my eyes. Hits hard especially when you're from a third world polluted chaotic country
Albert, that is a stunning piece of work. I'm an expat living in Amsterdam and love everything related to the city - this has to be the best short movie on Amsterdam ever!
The water channels make it more livable as a city.

This is so far one of the most beautiful videos about Amsterdam! It's just amazing! Thank you!
It is a fabulous time lapse of the beautiful city Amsterdam, reminded me of the days I have spent
Incredibly beautiful! I recognize each and every place, so many stories and anecdotes. The shots of the moon were awesome, in the literal sense. This makes me very grateful for living in this beautiful city. Thank you!
The whole thing is incredible and as a resident for the last 3 years, who continues to be in awe of its beauty ... this really captures it so perfectly. Love the dreamy organ tune playing , it adds a perfect trippy ness to those scenes. The lunar eclipse is one of the coolest shots I’ve ever seen... could be in Baraka !
I'm born and raised in Amsterdam!🤗this movie filled me with pride. Nice!
Love it. Its my home too. Born and raised for 49 years now. Thank you for making and sharing.
Amsterdam is one of favourite cities to visit. This amazing video just showed how great the city is. What a fantastic piece of work, I can’t imagine how long it took to put it together but I would like to say a big thank you for doing so and for sharing it for everyone to see. Truly amazing and very inspiring .
Great work!!! A couple years ago with my wife went to Amsterdam. How nostalgic! Amsterdam is a beautiful city. Greetings from Chile! Stay safe.
This is one of the best Timelapse work I've ever seen. Fantastic transitions and apt sound effects. Very well done... Absolutely brilliant.
This is the best timelapse I have ever seen! The sound effects makes it so perfect and the transitions are so smooth!
One of my favorite cities in the world. So beautiful!
Superb! Somebody who never made a single timelapse lasting 10 sec. will never understand how much work you have putted in this masterpiece. Thank you for your fantastic job!!!
This is fantastic! Amsterdam is perhaps the most beautiful city in the world, and you made it justice! This video should be in a museum so people 200 years from now can see what the city looked like and how we lived in the early 2000's
This is so unbelievably gorgeous and captures such a perfect picture of Amsterdam in its entirety. It made me so homesick for the city. Just beautiful work. Bravo.

Bravo sir!!! Very well done. Totally amazing to experience Amsterdam all over again through your eyes. Thanks for this! AMAZING!
I really enjoyed watching this mesmerizing view of Amsterdam. Thank you!
Beautiful piece of art. We spend so much time in Amsterdam. My Spanish wife is raised in Amsterdam when her parents came to Amsterdam as 'gastarbeiders'. My father is from Amsterdam, born and raised and my mother came to Amsterdam when she came from Indonesia after the war early '50s. I went to school from Almere to Amsterdam and I spend an important part of my youth in Amsterdam in iT, RoXY and Melkweg. Amsterdam is deeper inside of my then thought. Now we live already 7 years in Galicia - Spain so this video came in very deep. Our children love to visit Amsterdam from time to time (when Covid is over...) Thank you so much for your hard work. Best regards, Rogier Moes
Wow. . . . Every shot, every angle, every transition... many years of work... this is the most amazing film I've ever seen about our home town. Super congrats on this epic work. 👏👏👏👏

I'm going for a second time to Amsterdam in a few days. I think that it is one of the most beautiful cities in the whole world. It's vibrant, it's beautiful and it is a great monument to the people who build it. And this timelapse really capture all that. Amazing and inspiring job. Cheers.
That was absolutely amazing! Hopefully one day I will be able to see this beautiful city. I've seen several pictures and really have a eagerness to see the beauty in person Thank you for the video!
