Are you a filmmaker looking for a bit of attention? All you have to do is make a time-lapse video of New York. Tons of them have come along, but every time a new one rolls around, I stop and stare at the people moving quickly, the sun rising over the buildings, and the little squiggles of light trailing taxi cabs. It gets me every time.

Here's a spectacular and moody time-lapse video of New York by Josh Owens. Whether it' his technique or the music by Dredg, it makes us feel lonely and melancholy. It's still pretty damn awesome though.
