Stunning Video of Old Cities Created Using Old Photographs

You’ve gotta see this. Using what we assume was the camera projection feature in 3ds Max, digital artist Alexey Zakharov has created some stunningly real-looking videos of long-gone urban scenes, using scans of old photos of New York, Boston and Washington, D.C. as his starting point. Take a look:

Moscow-based Zakharov calls the project “The Old New World.” Here’s to hoping he creates more!
