Toronto stars in best time-lapse videos

Atlantic Cities chooses the best time-lapse videos of major cities, and includes one we’ve missed: Toronto –

.

Tom Ryaboi is best known for his “rooftopping” approach to photography — scaling tall buildings to shoot the city from on high — and he didn’t think the transition to time-lapse would prove as challenging as it did. (“This, I realized, was a whole other animal,” he writes.)

Set against a slow, dramatic score by Hans Zimmer, the top-down shots are all here, including a plunge off the side of a skyscraper. The clouds are never far from Ryaboi’s lens; he writes of wanting to show viewers a Toronto where “the boundary between earth and sky is unclear.”

You can find other such videos on Price Tags by clicking “Viewpoint” in the Categories list on the right.
