A Beautiful Morphing Time-Lapse of Daily Life on the Tower Bridge in London Set to a Dubstep Soundtrack

Photographer Chad Gordon Higgins of Chadchud Timelapse has created “Tower Bridge, The Dubstep Movement,” a short, morphing time-lapse film that documents daily life on Tower Bridge in London. Higgins cleverly utilized the newly installed glass floors in sections of the bridge and set it all to “dubstep-esque bass-lines.”

The transitions in the music are what I’d describe as ‘bendy’. The dubstep-esque basslines were a perfect find for what I wanted to do in the edit and that was to ‘morph’ the shots together. I used a program called Fanta Morph which is fairly straight forward. I left gaps in the timeline to coincide with the musical transitions and then took the last and first frame from the gap and imported into Fanta to create the transition. Once rendered, I’d then drop the short clip into the timeline making sure it sat one frame in and out of the gap (to cover the existing frames I’d taken).
