Frenzied City Timelapses

The 'District 7 Media' New York Timelapse Captures the Busy City Life

In one of the most awe-inspiring videos to hit the Internet, the New York timelapse film from video production company 'District 7 Media' is absolutely stunning. The aptly entitled Midtown video takes you on a tour through the city that never sleeps, by showing the hustle and bustle that the city is best know for.

The film was made from around 50,000 still frames and the travel alone to shoot the project took over 6 months. The video description states, "Midtown New York City is the place to be. The lights, cars, traffic, architecture and people make the city come to life as a living, breathing, organism that never sleeps." The New York timelapse allows for a once-in-a-lifetime look at the frenzied state that the city is in at almost all hours of the day and night.
