By By Paul Bradbury Feb 8, 2012 in Travel The release of the Timelapse Croatia video by Mario Romulic and Drazen Stojcic has caused plenty of comment in the national press. The film, edited by Antun Balog and called Timelapse Croatia, takes the view on a breathtaking tour of the country in less than five minutes, and while the video appears to be live film, it actually contains merely photographs, all 150,000 of them, which in turn were selected from 700,000 pictures.

And we are more than happy to do it - after all, we're two guys who really love their job.
