The New Aesthetic

This was my favorite post of the New Aesthetic blog:

Which included this video:
Google Street View Hyperlapse from Teehan+Lax Labs on Vimeo.

This video appealed to me because it was very beautiful to watch. It was like a moving-three-dimensional-time-lapse. All of earth was speeding along underneath the camera at very high speeds and yet the camera seemed to move and shift so slowly and smoothly. This really helped to give the viewer a sense of actually moving this quickly through the different environments with the ability to slowly tilt their head. It almost felt like a high-speed roller coaster. I'm going to go watch it again!
