My first Time Travel movie, here I use Iconic photos of the Cathedral in Christchurch between 1859 and 2016 and present them backwards!
The photos were all taken by otherphotographers except one I took in 2015. Fair use provisions. An interesting journey through time.

We start in the present, as we survey the ruins of the cathedral today and watch it get less ruined, until in 2010 it is suddenly intact and the deadly stillness returns to life.Then we go back on average a year or two at a time as the fashions change and the cars get older and older until they disappear for trams, horses and carts and finally we see the cathedral disappear into a see of wooden shacks and grass. We arrive in 1852, when Christchurch was a few months old and had a few hundred hardly colonialists.

Buildings disappear and are replaced by smaller and more wooden ones, which give way to grass.

Much thanks and inspiration gained from James Fox, his videos are way better and you all need to watch them.
