Mexico City–Phoenix TIME-LAPSE roadtrip

This video is the result of a of a 4-day roadtrip time-lapse recording, from Mexico City to Phoenix. It was originally shot for personal entertainment and experimenting, but after watching it, I realized it was good enough to be shared to YouTube, and there were no other videos like this one (maybe there are other roadtrips, but not including as much detail as this one, besides the different styles). These 39 minutes are a mix of more than 125 different time-lapses shot across more than 2,500 km (more than 1,500 miles). The time format was set on the upper right corner as [hours.minutes], and the current road on the lower left corner, with a subtitle for the current STATE/city.

If you're interested in the complete route, here's an approximate guide with the directions:

I know there are many details I should address:
This wasn't meant to be professional at all (it just was nice enough for me to share with you).
The production was improvised (though shot on iPhone 12 mini, the mount wasn't calibrated at all).
The recording speeds are different in all the clips (I wasn't able to adjust the speed to a fixed pace, it was automated by iOS).
Some parts of the journey are skipped (detours were necessary at some points because of closed roads, gas station/meal/restroom/break stops).
The video isn't clear and high quality at times (the max res is 1080p, and most of the time the windshield naturally got dirty).
There's no color correction at all (it is as natural as it was seen in person).
There's no music (couldn't find anything good enough for the 39 minutes; besides, it's more relaxing and you can play anything on top of it).
"zACATECAS" misspelled, instead of ZACATECAS (00:09:54).
(If you find something else, kindly let me know; I'll appreciate it and it will help me improve for the next video).


More about me and this Channel:
DanLand will be a little bit of everything (guitar covers, travel/events, experiences lived through an iPhone camera, Mario gameplays [soon], experiments, and more to come soon).
I also manage another Channel: ‪@PaulsMusicChannel‬ , where I extend looped Beatles songs to 1 hour.
