# Terrible Traffic Time-Lapses Rob Whitworth Ho Chi Minh City Video Reveals the Chaos of Asia By Felicia Moursalien | Published 2011-12-06 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rob-whitworth-ho-chi-minh-city-video1 References: [thedailywh.at](http://thedailywh.at/tag/rob-whitworth/) & [robwhitworth](http://robwhitworth.co.uk/) If you've ever been to an Asia city, then you must watch the Rob Whitworth Ho Chi Minh City video done in [time-lapse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velocity-lapse). Every backpacker or expat wants to be able to describe the frenetic chaos that [Asian cities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/of-course-hong-kong) have to their friends and families, though try as they might, one can rarely do the sight justice. This young artist has succeeded in putting a thousand words into one video -- or rather, thousands of images. The video focuses heavily on the city's roundabout. You see [motorists weaving dangerously into traffic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-safety1), sometimes completely perpendicular to oncoming traffic. What's wonderful about the Rob Whitworth Ho Chi Minh video is that although it reveals the absolute disorder in the streets, it displays a sort of beauty as well. Everything is always moving, everyone is constantly bustling -- and while the driving seems insane, it works in bizarre harmony. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Urban Mobility Disruption:** Opportunity to innovate in transportation systems to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion in rapidly growing cities. - **Visual Storytelling:** Opportunity to create captivating time-lapse videos that showcase the unique character and energy of different cities. - **Sustainability in Transportation:** Opportunity to create sustainable transportation solutions to reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of urban mobility. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in the transportation industry to optimize traffic flow, create new modes of transportation, and reduce the environmental impact of urban mobility. - **Film and Photography:** Opportunities for filmmakers and photographers to create stunning visual content that tells the authentic story of a city's character and unique energy. - **Environmental Technology:** Opportunities to develop sustainable and environmentally-friendly transportation solutions to reduce carbon footprint and improve air quality in cities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Green Tourism-Focused Video Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hong-kong-tourism-board.md) - [Visual Journey Mapping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-map-video.md) - [Urban Robot Traffic Safety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polis.md) - [Color-In Commuter Tunnels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterpeace-painting.md) - [Hybrid Design Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-city-car.md) - [Comprehensive City Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-danang.md) - [Light-Filled City Center Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-garden-2.md) - [AI-Assisted Urban Traffic Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-traffic-management.md) - [Transforming Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vista-roadster.md)
