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!

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!

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!
