This was done in my hometown and I must say very well done at that the only thing I would have liked to see a lot more of the nightime

Excellent short film and very well put together.
Quite a brilliant short film actually. IMO, the film captures the work and spirit of Fricke very well.
Congradulations to everyone who made Timescape.

What an insult to Reggio and Fricke. If you (Pappas) want to create an homage, make it a successful one. Don't waste my time.

Watched it the 2002, 17th december, at the end of a work day.
First term coming to my brain : "Fourmilière" (i'm a french guy)
traduct "Fourmilière" as Ants home...

After watching this I realized that you never take the time to see the beautiful things that are around you. Whether it be construction, traffic or the sun shining thru the trees. Beauty is what these guys must have seen when doing this film. The music was perfect for the way everything moved about. I give you props!

good lord that was excellent. well done gents. I hope everyone sees this little film you've created. \Feverend/

The camera work was fine but I don't call
time lapse photography 'a movie'. This has no
story line. The critical first 45 seconds
had so little action in it I wasn't sure if it
was a still image. There are cliched formulas
for writing stories. There's a reason for them.
People like them. If you're going to stray from
them you gotta be better than this.

A super huge file, but worth it this is a genuine masterpiece of a film.It makes up for the long wait for dial-up users with its long run time!

An aural and visual treat that tells the story of a day in a city using great shot selections and a very fittinig soundtrack! Wonderful!

Very interesting idea for a short film. Great camera work. I'm impressed. The music is very good also. I give it a 9/10. Very good work. Keep it up :o)

Great stuff. Really creative and altogether goodness. I give it a 9/10. I couldnt find anything wrong with it and I thought it was well worth my time.
Kudos.

Kinda cool...too bad I figured out the city about 30 seconds into the short...and I have to live in it. Somebody who posted a comment earlier got it right: it is boring...and I get to look at the short in slo-mo every day!

Whoa! Nicely done. Beautiful photography. If I am not mistaken, Fricke did camera and editing on "Koyaaniskatsi".
If you enjoyed that or "Baraka", then you'll enjoy this short film.
Great stuff!!

Well, the idea is definitely taken from Godfrey Reggio's "Koyaanisqatsi". It's nice, but not new. Slightly boring.

COOL! Slick flick guys! And a film that isn't chalk full of CG for once is a nice change.
I'm not sure if I'd classify this as a 'new age' or modern visual art type film. Definetly experimental. But a very nice feast for the eyes.

ha, deleted it after watching 2 mins of it. nice. but not new, and too repetitive.

A Brilliant little short.
Beautiful cinematography and a great original concept for a short film. Wicked stuff! Keep it up.

Cool work. Captures a busy city perfectly by never stopping. The music couldn't be better for this type of film.

I think it is very well done. The music is well written and suits the ambiance of the film. Good work gentlemen.

What can I say? Perfect. These two know what to do, and how to do it. All digital baby, and that's what makes it great.
Pixelwks, its OBVIOUS you like to smoke crack and watch He-man cartoons. This is definitely good work, and you definitely don't know what you're talking about.

Nice work! Now this is a small world :) I made one of the shorts listed on this site and I actually work in one of the buildings shown in this film. So I will use this oportunity to publicly say the security guards at that building are a bunch of jerks. The rest of the people who live in Canada are pretty cool tho.
Peace!

WOW!
I have to say i'm impressed. Great work, and keep it up!

I usually don’t like to disagree when the opinions are so strong, but all I see here is time-lapse footage of what seems to be a pretty ugly city. I’ve never been to Ottawa, but I’m sure it looks better than this. I saw bus stops, road construction and tunnels, big deal. What are you other people praising?

Very well put together.
Very impressive cinematography and editing style. I like the music too. A bit long for what it was, but over all very very clean.
Cool stuff.

Damn fine work! Beats the reast of the junk i see on here. Nice....

I would like to leave my thoughts on this movie. First of all i come from ottawa and ive lived here 15 years and i've truely forgotten how beatiful it can be when you look at it from another persons eyes. Whoever made this took a simple idea and made it stunning. The different shots captivated my attention along with very well written music. Im once again proud to see the oc transpo buses that ive hated seeing for along time.

Great short.
I've also seen this film on the ifilm.com
website and I liked then as much as I like it now. A good little homage. Well made.

Koyaanisqatsi was the first film I ever purchased (and still treasure) - so I enjoyed this very much - I didn't know it was an homage to Fricke before watching - Well done!
