Spanning 10 years this EarthCam time-lapse videos shows the construction of the US National 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York.
From Brian Cury (CEO of EarthCam):
A super hardworking team at EarthCam, who I am so proud to work with, spent countless hours keeping the many webcams at the World Trade Center active for 4,617 days… and counting. This unprecedented effort provided our in-house editors with over 1 million images to choose from when creating this two-and-a-half minute video, as well as our other commemorative World Trade Center movies.

District 7’s beautiful time-lapse through New York City captures the sights and sounds that bring this great metropolis to life.
From District7Media:
For us, this time-lapse production was produced using more than 50,000 still frames, shot over the course of 6 months traveling back and forth from Washington DC to New York City while we shot for clients. Our main goal was to capture the central part of the city in both visuals and audio. The sound effects used in this production were taken from the various locations we shot and were added in to give you the feeling of actually being there.

An clip from Samuel Orr’s Kickstarter-funding ‘time-lapse adventure throughout 4-seasons in the urban and natural landscape of the world’s greatest city.’
Filmed over 4 trips to NYC 2011-2012:
the time-lapse sequences you see here were made (mostly) from hundreds of thousands of still images. A Canon 7D and T3i were the main cameras, with backup from a couple of older Nikon Coolpix 5000 point and shooters. A few clips are sped-up video.
