Filmaker Simon Smith received a lot of notice when he placed images of 1920’s London and 2014 London side-by-side in a video, but now he’s taken it to a whole new level; we can see a moving picture of then London and now London using?footage from?Harry B. Parkinson?and Frank Miller, the creators of?Wonderful London. Creating this masterpiece was no easy task. Smith had to retrace the?paths that Parkinson and Miller took and attempt to capture footage in modern day London in the exact same locations and from the exact same angles. The result is nothing less than superb.
