28-hour Dubai time-lapse video goes viral

Dubai-based Gerald Donovan is at it again. The man behind the panoramic 360-degree views from the Burj Khalifa that made headlines earlier this year has now published a stunning time-lapse video of the city, showing it in all its glory. 

“This time-lapse was originally shot back in November 2011 and you can see the original, static, framing on this channel. I thought it was about time I had a go at re-cutting it to try to show some of the interesting stuff going on that perhaps you’d not notice if you watched the original ‘edit’,” Donovan writes along with the YouTube publish. 

According to him, “the very first upload got close to a million views in the first week on YouTube, but I then deleted my original YouTube account because I got so fed-up with tossers ripping it off and claiming it as their own.” 

Even this version, published just two days ago, has already attracted more than 70,000 YouTube views. While the ‘original’ showed a 24-hour time-lapse, this time around, Donovan has published a 28-hour version.

Is this best time-lapse video of Dubai yet...
