Snow Globe Los Angeles by All Cut Up Films

Snow Globe Los Angeles from All Cut Up Films on Vimeo.

Just in time for the holidays! "Snow Globe Los Angeles" is a short time-lapse film that captures the city of L.A. during the holiday season.
"Snow Globe Los Angeles" was created using over 4000 still images shot on a custom built camera rig. The effect was achieved using a Canon 5D MII, a homemade tilt-shift style lens, a light bulb filled with water, and paper cut outs to create shaped bokeh.

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Shot by: Colin Mika

Music: "Samskeyti" by Sigur Ros
