A word of warning before you watch this – the makers of this video (Claire&Max) have indicated that this video may make you dizzy. Underlapse is a visual experience and shows how our brains can be lost without its spatial cues.
The idea of time-lapse turned upside down isn’t something I have come across before but this montage of places around the world (and off it) goes from simply a curiosity to quite dazzling in a few minutes.
Between Godalming and Haslemere, in Surrey, near the English village of Witley, once stood one of the most lavish private residences in the world —the Witley Park. Originally called Lea Park, it belonged to a man named Whitaker Wright who made his fortune by defrauding shareholders of hundreds of million pounds —not once, but twice in two different continents. At the peak of his financial crimes, Wright bought the vast 1,400-acre Victorian estate from the 15th Earl of Derby and built an extravagant 32-bedroom mansion, among other things like a racecourse, a theater and a private hospital.
