“The Old New World” by Alexey Zakharov is an absolutely stunning animation that uses historic photos of major U.S. cities to travel back to the turn of the 20th century via an elaborate steampunk time machine.

It’s a travel back in time with a little steampunk time machine. The main part of this video was made with Camera projection based on photos.
