love seeing shots like this of cities, especially of my home town city :P

love how it's edited, awesome awesome work!
also it must have been awesome to just go out to the spots to take the photos.

very nice, nick! the final piece turned out great too. love it.

Excellent work! That's so cool that you did the photography for the Conan Intro. What's the name of the song you used?

Sweet!

Wonderful! If Tom Yorke sees this he might ask permission to make it the official music video :)

Tell us about your setup, shoot details, cameras used, number of shots.

I'm inspired to go do some night shooting again!

Freaking badass!

I knew you rocked, but I didn't realize you rocked this hard.

Like!Like!Like!

Just recently came across your work and it cant get much better. Nice job dude. Makes me want to get back to LA.

This sells LA more than anything I've ever seen. Impeccable.

How long did this take to put together? Any possibility of doing a short tutorial on this? I'm wondering how you make the images look like the lights fading up on the buildings(around :33 - :36 seconds)? Was that done in post or is it the way you shot the images that when they're pieced together it creates that look?

Awesomeness.

I think I just had a seizure.
But in a good way.
Really cool edit, goes great with the music.

absolutely stunning. amazing visuals and expression of light and dark

Thanks for the inspiration

Coincidentally enough- this photo of me was taken while in line for the first episode of the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. ;-)

Brilliant work. I should really learn how to do bracketing of photos... maybe a tutorial can assist me.

By the way- you guys hiring?

Ray, it looks like he just grabbed all of his images give them either 1 or 2 frames each in length and sequenced them out...

the fade up means he had his camera in bracketing mode..which (with a D700) captures 5 consecutive images with different exposures..probably +/- 2 stops..bracketing is used when making HDR images

this is one of the most impressive comps I have seen in a long time, I love the timing of the lights to the music, you see and feel it!! great job

dude....!

Hey man, this could be a nice idea for a tutorial. A time lapse tutorial. You don't have to do one, maybe just a walk through with this video. It could be a nice mix of tutorials: photography, after effects, final cut or whatever else you've used!

By the way, good job.

Great as always. Please a tutorial

awesome shots!

like the music, it matches with the photos

very nice but the hulu link doesn't work for anyone outside the US, which sucks balls.
