From its beaches to its mountains to its deserts, California really is the Golden State, rich with something for everyone. The state's bevy of natural and manmade treasures are visually stunning and beautifully captured in a time lapse video created by Ryan & Sheri Killackey. more ›

We don't get much snow here, so most of the cheesy "snow globes" tourist-centric shops sell are filled with sparkly glitter instead of that frosty white stuff that falls from the sky. This video, however, is a photographic take on a snow globe, with over 4,000 still images shot on a custom rig of various locations in Los Angeles. more ›

Downtown Los Angeles, including Art Walk and Little Tokyo, get the time lapse treatment in this beautiful, almost zen-like short video. more ›

Humans, we advise you to take five minutes out of your day to view Earth from a mind-blowing vantage point in today's video lunch. From August through October, the NASA crew of expeditions 28 and 29 aboard the International Space Station photographed our planet from 18 different locations. The shots have been transformed into a short, entrancing video of time lapse sequences. more ›

10,000 photos + 1.5 years = A Day in California. Filmmaker Ryan Killackey and his wife photographed Southern California's lakes, oceans, mountains, deserts, hot air balloons, trains, freeways, skylines, city lights, water parks and waterfalls to compose a beautiful time lapse / tilt shift short film. more ›

It's important to slowly and mindfully chew today's video lunch for full digestion benefits. Los Angeles is quietly commandingly and beautifully soothing in this time lapse video shot with multiple cameras and lenses and "various DIY contraptions" according to filmmaker Colin Rich. more ›

The cars come in...and for several hours last weekend they were kept out. For your video lunch today, here's a timelapse look at the 405 Freeway shut down known as Carmageddon...or Carma-Heaven through the footage of a group of photographers, sped up to show the whole ordeal, in--what else?--4:05 minutes. more ›

Carmageddon proved to be a surprising success. Locals obeyed requests to practice a car-free weekend, resulting in clear roads, sunny skies and a sprawl like we've never seen it: extraordinarily navigable. But let's not forget the project at hand or the diligent workers who managed to wrap their mission sixteen hours ahead of schedule. more ›

Today's video lunch is a time-lapse wonder from this month's celebration of independence around the intersection of Avenue 52 and Irvington Place. "No one told the people of Highland Park that fireworks are illegal," notes the person who posted this treat to YouTube under the alias ChurchOfBK. The photos were taken between 7 p.m. and midnight on July 4, 2011, says ChurchOfBK, who goes on to explain how the images were shot. more ›

Sunday's second CicLAvia event has been hailed as a great success. The spring day found 7.5 miles of our city streets closed to cars, and instead left open for cyclists and walkers to enjoy. Yesterday we shared some photos from CicLAvia, and now we have a couple of videos by Nicholas Dahmann that show alternate perspectives of the day. more ›

But we know they're full of it. We get rain. In fact, sometimes it feels like when it rains, it just dumps on us all the rain we don't get most of the rest of the year, right? This week, when it rained, it poured, and we lost power, trees and branches came a-tumblin' down, and 9-1-1 calls surged by 62%. That's some serious rain. more ›

Rain will drain, but snow turns to ice. Good luck Antarctica, I mean New Jersey. This time-lapse video documents the white flakey drama as it piled up in one dude's back yard in Belmar, NJ. Using a Canon DLSR on a tripod and remote timer, Michael Black took one photo every five minutes for approximately 20 hours. Enjoy the 40 second version of nearly 40 inches. California dreaming... more ›

From doing Anne Frank in a parking garage to Greek mythology in a swimming pool, it's too bad that this site-specific Long Beach Opera production of Orpheus and Euridice by RIcky Ian Gordon is having such a short run (last night through tomorrow night) because this looks simply fantastic and Gordon's music has been praised by the New York Times and others (we concur, his music is hot). Tickets are still available for tonight's and tomorrow's performances taking place at the Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool. Hear and see a time lapse video of last night's performance below. more ›

Tobias Wacker has uploaded just one video on YouTube, but it's a dandy. Walking from One Wilshire to the Santa Monica Beach is 16 miles and Tobias took a picture every 10 steps. As you see he isn't afraid to cross Wishire now and then and he has a bit of fun by checking out cool things like tall buildings, the La Brea Tar Pits, and the dancing guy at Westside Rentals. Definitely something... more ›
