If the idea of emerging from a subway isn't interesting to you, a fantastic short entitled Sub City Paris will definitely change your mind.

Sub City Paris is a beautifully shot video directed by Sarah Klein and Tom Mason of Redglass Pictures that depicts the experience of [emerging out of a subway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saintdenis-pleyel-station). It's a beautifully shot clip that really captures the beauty of [the metropolis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notezparis) that has inspired and captivated many masterpieces and movies over the years. The short intelligently takes a dull, mundane moment that many go through and manages to transform it into something serene and peaceful, with a balletlike beauty.

In addition to the duo's Paris video, Klein and Mason also shot a subway-themed short that takes place in New York.
