this is AWESOME

Did you do that with an intervalometer or with a huge quantity of film?

an intervalometer

I was wondering how i missed this one!!!...tags
one of the greatest super8 stuff I've seen on vimeo!
terrific!
01:24 wow!

This is amazing!

I like the title shot a lot.

whoa...
stupendous!

really really really well done.

masterfull work...especially while using Super 8....well done!

excellent indeed. Nice mixture of different films.

i really like the changing atmosphere around the wing at the end.

really dynamic connection with the music. very carefully selected shots and edits. gave me chills. well done

As Scruff says - "masterful". Just f*ing masterful. So happy to have this video on Vimeo. The 3:00 mark was just thrilling.

This is my current #1 favorite on Vimeo! Oh, maybe we should introduce that type of feedback ;)

This was spectacular, must have taken forever. I loved bit at 1:45.

the music was perfect

Koyaanisqatsi inspired? Love it :)

i'm very flattered by all the comments, thank you everyone.

If you like city symphony films you should check these out:

As Blake and Joe mentioned previously, "man with a movie camera" and "koyaanisqatsi" stand out as classics... there's a few other nice ones like "chronos" or "baraka". There's also an old Berlin city Symphony.

My latest favorite is D.A Pennebaker's "Daybreak Express".

Timelapse footage is always entertaining but i feel goes beyond if there is somewhat of a narrative.

best,

david

This is a great film. The shots are well composed. The juxtaposition of the figure of a man travelling at time-lapse speeds somehow illustrates the hectic pace of city life while humanizing the city at the same time. Brilliant. I love the scene of birds gliding on the air, followed by a complete plane trip as seen from the window over the plane wing. Also fond of the shot of escalator stairs as a still, then moving and spilling over the top. Are you a film school grad? If you're just self-taught, you've really got something and should keep it up.

i got chills too!
im amazed.

definitely felt the chills watching the man walk on the beach at 0:42. It felt like he would walk straight out of my screen!!

this is the reason I joined vimeo
