EXISTENCE A TIMELAPSE PROJECT is a beautiful video created by filmmaker Michael Shainblum. The awesome music is “Should Be True” by Phaeleh.
It’s been almost a year since I started my journey into time-lapse photography. This project has been an ongoing process for about 4 months. There was a lot of trial and error involved, and I spent many sleepless nights in many different unexpected places. Creating this film has taught me about patience, and what it really takes to achieve the shot that you dream about in your head. I realized through the process that the gear isn’t as important as the passion you put within your work.
This short video is called EXISTENCE. The video is a statement not only about time and progression, but also a statement about the world we have created for ourselves. The basis of the video contrasts the two extremes of life itself: the urban metropolis, and the beauty outside the city. I love to stargaze. Watching the milky-way float across the sky is one of the most therapeutic experiences I have ever felt. If you haven’t experienced it, then I strongly recommend taking the time to do so.
Enjoy.
I want ice water.

this is by far one of the best timelapse projects ever, mainly to his change of camera angles during the timelapse, most have taken ages to learn that. My favourite parts are the city ones from 3:40, it looks almost artificial but my god it’s done so good…
I couldn’t agree with you more my friend. Michael Shainblum has 90 videos at his Vimeo site and I intend to go back for more ASAP. He also has a Facebook page, if you’re interested.

Awesome vidz and cool track too
Thanks my friend!
You’re welcome
wow – impressive
Isn’t it? Thanks Jo!!
I agree with Rincewind. The trucks and pans, at apparent normal speed while the world races by, impress and confound me.
That really was a cool effect. Thanks Archon!
Wonderfully done, love both the vid and the track
Thanks Valentine!
Stunning video, but I confess to being distracted by the music. I couldn’t figure out what the words were and it really started bothering me. Then I tried to look up the lyrics but no one actually seems to have them. They just have a video, or nothing at all. Frustrating.
You know PT, as much as I liked the music, I hadn’t really thought much about the lyrics until you mentioned them. And my search for them this morning was as frustrating as yours!
