An Enchanting Macro Time-Lapse of Blooms and Insects in 8K Resolution by Thomas Blanchard

In -N- Uprising, a video that is equal parts stylized and naturalistic, Thomas Blanchard documents the life cycles of insects and flowers. Time-lapse allows the viewer to see a caterpillar metamorphose into a chrysalis and then a butterfly, orchid buds burst into full bloom, and a snail grow its eyeballs perched on antennae. By using solid fields of color as his background, Blanchard allows the focus to stay on the impressive transformative moments. The insects were filmed in video at 8K shot over the course of seven months, and the flower blooms are assembled from hundreds of 5K photographs. Music for -N- Uprising is by Alexis Dehimi.
