More than anywhere else on earth, North Korea is hidden from the world community. But a videographer and a self-proclaimed “branding pioneer” have put together a unique look at the nation’s capital city, Pyongyang. The two men, JT Singh and Rob Whitworth, traveled to the city with support from a state-run tourism agency and captured the footage needed to create this time-lapse video of the mysterious capital. It’s an unusual video that’s both eerie and enlightening at the same time. As you might expect, the two creators did not have free reign, and the restrictions have left an obvious mark on the final product. Like all visitors to North Korea, the two were escorted everywhere they went and were “not allowed to shoot any construction sites, undeveloped locations or military personnel.” Nevertheless, it’s a one-of-a-kind view of a city you’ve likely seen only a handful of times.
