Inside a pink house in tiny West Saugerties in 1967, Bob Dylan recorded The Basement Tapes. To get there, Dylan and The Band drove from a Manhattan hotel to that upstate New York house, known to music lovers simply as Big Pink.

Now, fans can take a virtual ride of the route they traveled in a new short time-lapse film, From The Village to The Basement, narrated by actor Jeff Bridges. Watch, below.

"Big Pink is a pilgrimage for people," Legacy Recordings' digital maestro Tom Mullen, who wrote and created the 180-second film, told Mashable.

"It's as if Jeff Bridges is next to you telling you the story on a road trip, like if you're with your parents and they're telling you a story," Mullen said, adding that Dylan's manager Jeff Rosen painstakingly decided to use "This Wheel's on Fire" as the background song.

Mullen, inspired by Instagram's time-lapse app Hyperlapse, compressed more than 12,000 photos to make the short film, which begins at New York City's Washington Square Hotel and ends at Big Pink's driveway, where Dylan parked his motorcycle.

The door opens before the film fades to black, and the house's current owner (not seen in the video) happily opened the door as part of the time-lapse project.

"What I learned from the trip is how much this place means — how important this pilgrimage is and how people really connect to it," Mullen remembered.

The Basement Tapes, partially released in 1975, were unleashed in their entirety last month via a six-CD box set (The Bootleg Series Vol. 11). It features 138 tracks, including 118 previously unreleased recordings, 31 of which were recently discovered.

For his narration, Bridges received a box set and promptly thanked Mullen with this letter:

Though called The Basement Tapes, everything wasn't recorded in Big Pink's basement. "Basement tapes" also refers to music captured inside artists' homes. Some music on The Basement Tapes was recorded in the homes of Dylan and The Band's Rick Danko.
