The photo series is known as The Lion City II - Majulah and it turns the still images into a moving film about the changing area as it grows day by day. Time lapses are often used to show a slow growth or change over an extensive period of time and Loutit utilizes the style to hone in on Singapore's growth as a city in both an [architectural, transportation and residential perspective](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wo-hop). The time lapse showcases the city with areas being built, torn down, the sun rising and setting and the growth of the setting. The images can be watched as a film that spans a few minutes in total. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Urban Development Time Lapses:** Using time lapses to showcase and track the growth and change of urban areas over time. - **Architectural Progression Videos:** Creating videos that highlight the progress of city buildings and structures over time. - **Transportation Growth Films:** Filming and compiling footage of transportation in urban areas to track their growth and changes over time. ### Where This Applies - **Real Estate:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to showcase the progression and development of urban properties over time, giving potential buyers a comprehensive understanding of the property and its potential. - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to use time lapses to showcase a project's progress and growth through various stages of development, allowing clients to better understand the process and potential challenges. - **Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create visually captivating films showcasing the beautiful landscapes and cityscapes of popular travel destinations and their growth and change over time, attracting more tourists. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Time-Lapse Content Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timelapse-content.md) - [Process Visualization Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velocity-lapse.md) - [Branded Digital Light Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maybank-light-show.md) - [Rapid Photo Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-minute-photos.md) - [Visual Timelapse Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfiestory.md) - [Time-Lapse Creation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photojourney.md) - [Urban Ecological Design Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-ecological-design.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Building Block Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-the-brick.md)
