Toronto Timelapse - Show Me The City (2019)

In September 2017, I decided to timelapse in my hometown of Toronto in all four seasons (Spring-Winter). What initiated me to kickstart this project was that I wanted to showcase everything there is to love about Toronto.

This timelapse takes you deep into the heart of Toronto. From the iconic places and landmarks, to the popular events around the city.  It's a culmination of two years of work that captures the essence and vibe of the city.

Thank you to CN Tower for licensing and utilizing my timelapse footage for their Front St. Digital Gateway Sign.

Technical Details:
In 71 days I shot 18,770 Photos taking up 2 TB of my hard drive. I started capturing timelapses of Toronto back in the summer of 2017, and the 71 days of capturing timelapses were spread out within 2 years since I was also busy with other projects (day job, freelance). The editing started in mid-March 2019, and it took me 1 week (35-40 hours) to complete the final product.
