Walk in Shanghai

Interesting video time-lapse.

Disconcerting.

Disconcerting.

Good word for it. I had a difficult time getting my head around some of it. Beautifully done, though!

[Steve Grisetti]

Very nicely shot, even without the time shifts.

[RJ Johnston]

I didn't like it. I couldn't enjoy the scenery. It was the stiff, reverse variable-speed time-lapse that got to me. No Shanghai for me.

I like disconcerting. Makes you stop and really look. Here is another one that is more traditional time lapse...sort of:

Although a bit confusing, I liked the first one best. It was certainly more technically challenging. I'd like to know how it was done.

I'd like to know how it was done.

I'm guessing that he was walking backward in front of a green screen and even maybe walked backward for some of the scenes through the crowd. His walking looked kind of unnatural sometimes.

[Bob]

No green screen necessary. Looks to me like it was just shot with him walking backwards and time reversed in editing. He used time remapping quite a bit throughout the video to speed up and slow down the rates of motion. The scene in the tea room was split screen with time lapse on the left and slow motion on the right.

[Ron Hunter]

Clearly a lot of work went into the first one, but I didn't like it either.

[sidd finch]

I liked them both. The first one with the reverse time lapse must have been pretty difficult to pull off. It seemed that not to many people were paying attention to him as he recorded it.

The scene in the tea room was split screen with time lapse on the left and slow motion on the right.

I was wondering about how he edited that scene. Thanks.

By the time I got through the first one my eyes were looking at one another
