Philosophy
You've seen amazing time lapse videos of China, Paris, San Francisco, the great plains, and even an imaginary and magical city before, so now it's time to give The Big Apple a chance.
Of course, one of the truisms about living in NYC is that its inhabitants (myself included) are like ants, gathering in subterranean caves and commuting downtown by the thousands early in the morning, putting in a full day of toil and labor, and then going back by the thousands again to ride in the subterranean worms back home. The cool thing is that besides the drudgery of everyday survival, and when viewed from a distance, the dynamics created by so many individuals carrying on their own business turns a beautiful spectacle, as the following clip shows.

- San Francisco (ish) Time Lapse
I've never been to the Bay Area... or the West Coast either, now that I think about it, but after seeing the following amazing time lapse of the San Francisco area (especially the shots of the fog pouring over the city), I'm beginning to seriously...
- Toy Soldiers
Recently, I posted a time lapse video of China's 60th anniversary celebration and lamented our own lack of discipline and coordination. It turns out the French don't want to be left behind either, and here is their aesthetically pleasing response....
