A Day In Charleston: A Timelapse & Hyperlapse Film In 4K

This short film was a personal project created by Vive Media founder, Matt Coda. Within the first week of releasing the video, it had gathered over 500,000 organic views on Facebook (as of October 2018, it now has over 1.1 million views). The film is the result of more than one year of planning, shooting, and editing 50,000+ photos.

With its blend of history, natural beauty, and southern hospitality, Charleston, SC, is a city like no other. This timelapse and hyperlapse film takes you on an adventure through Charleston, from sunrise to sunset and everything in between–all while showing Charleston’s most iconic locations and hidden gems in a way they never have been before.
