This gorgeous video of Boston isn't your usual time-lapse video, because Julian Tryba decided to get funky with the time.
In all fairness, we should ditch the term time and adopt what the photographer refers to as layer lapsing, or combining various moments of the day into the same scene, creating a visual collage that is pure eye candy.
Actually, it's best if you just see what I am talking about in regards to Tryba's Vimeo video (h/t Digg):
It's easy to fall in love with time-lapse videos. They usually command all of a few minutes and offer a visually stunning payoff we simply can't ignore. New York recently featured in a hashtag time-lapse video that took a creative spin on the usual video fare.
Now it's Boston's turn with a video that Tryba explains at Vimeo:
"Traditional time-lapses are constrained by the idea that there is a single universal clock. In the spirit of Einstein's relativity theory, layer-lapses assign distinct clocks to any number of objects or regions in a scene. Each of these clocks may start at any point in time, and tick at any rate. The result is a visual time dilation effect known as layer-lapse."
What you get is the usual city coming to life as time whizzes by, but now you have an added element that gives the entire town character as well.
Bridges flutter with vibrant colors, buildings flicker with moments of the day and the viewer is mesmerized by it all, wondering when they can possibly make it out to a city they only believe they are just now seeing for the first time.
