And the way you portray the buildings as well, it has that important emotional touch that makes the idea less gimmicky and more real, in a way. The light in the windows come through as a signal of life, instead of a piece of animated pixels.
Really good work!
Excellent job, André and Audun, and not least: all the thousands of people in those flats who managed to turn their lights on and off so precisely! Groruddalen rocks!
Nice work
Valeu !

...thanks for this video!
Congrats, this is a masterpiece !! i love it. Thanks.
great work, it got posted on planet5d.
So much going on and all in sync whether subtle or not. New things to see on each viewing. A lot of hard work pays off, and your work is the proof of that. Thanks for sharing it here. How many light switches are being pulled right now I wonder...

Still, awesome work!
Your innovative work is at the top of your professional peers! Thank you. - Mark
"The process was pretty much this: We shot timelapse from early evening to the middle of the night, with most of the apartments illuminated for the first couple of hours and most of the apartments dark for the last couple of hours. I used the darkest part as the foundation for the individual sequences, and masked out all windows that were still lit, so that all windows were dark.
Next I made an individual layer for each window with lights on, by using the footage from the early evening. I organized them by creating a masterclip for each window, giving them sequential names and putting them in a grid.
I then put these individual clips on top of the sequence with dark windows to animate the lights going on and off.
PS I used the 4-point-mask, that took some patience...."
Wow, he's not kidding, anybody who has used an internal mask within FCP will know how long things take! Many thanks for getting in touch André.
