10 Days of YYC’s favorite videos: Day 6

If you can watch this and not be mesmerized, you’ve seen a lot cooler stuff in your life than I have.

I’ve always been obsessed with manipulating straightforward filming techniques to create something unique. Stop-motion, slow-motion, animation, CG … as much as I love really good, solid, linear storytelling, there’s something special about people creating things that didn’t exist outside their mind. (Or, in this case, creating a new way to see things that have always existed.) 

Time-lapse photography fascinates me. The best time-lapse films are created from a combination of technical knowledge, foresight, an artistic eye, and lots of patience. If Mr. Miyagi were a cinematographer, he would have been a time-lapse specialist. 

This is the best time-lapse film I’ve ever seen. If I could fall asleep to any video every night, this would be the one. I’d love to say it’s given me wonderful insight into the art of filmmaking, but the truth of the matter is that it just makes my heart feel full.

I like that, and I think that’s enough.

Enjoy? Let us know…
