The Yankee’s 27th World Series Win, in Time Lapse

Baseball fans, especially Yankee fans, will want to head over to The New York Times to check out a fantastic time-lapse created by Robert Caplin using a collection of 12,000 photographs taken before and during the game.

Mr. Caplin, who is just 26, said he wanted the montage to seem as if it had been made a hundred years ago — “You know when you look back at old movie footage and they were cranking it? And it was really jumpy and slightly faster than normal?” The game is played to Chopin’s Waltz No. 5, a score Mr. Caplin chose to complement the antique sensibility of the piece.

Most of the actual game footage is taken with a tilt-shift lens, giving the entire thing a fun look as though you’re watching a model recreation of the event.

I’ve embedded the video after the break for your viewing pleasure.
