Den Haag Timelapse / Hyperlapse

City portrait of The Hague, The Netherlands, in timelapse and hyperlapse.

The Hague (Den Haag or 's-Gravenhage in Dutch) is the third largest city of the Netherlands. It is the seat of parliament but not the capital, and houses important institutions such as the Peace Palace and the International Criminal Court. But The Hague is first and foremost that beautiful city behind the dunes (to quote The Hague's unofficial anthem), and this video aims to highlight some of that!

I took some 34000 photos of The Hague for this film, spread over a 2,5 year period during which I worked on and off on this project. This included location scouting and getting to know the city, as I didn't know The Hague that well before I started this project, and waiting for the right weather conditions. Editing the raw material, which takes up 845 GB of disk space, probably took longer than the time I spent capturing it. While I am incredibly happy with the result, there's still a lot of cool stuff that unfortunately didn't make the final cut - maybe it'll show up in some other piece!
