My final compilation of time-lapses is based on the concept the city is a mechanism dictated by time. It aims to provoke the viewer into questioning the city we live in by changing the way it is perceived.
It opens with a surreal, airy overview of the city with morphing clouds and rays of sun piercing through. It then moves on to the airport which almost personifies the city with pulsating energy running through its arteries and miniaturises the constant airplane activity at the airport. The clip then moves more central, climaxing along one of the busiest areas in Wellington through the shear diversity of movement through the space. As time progresses, the activities of the city are dictated according. The stadium lights are turned off after the game and hordes of cars make their way to and from the city. As traffic lightens, the port works away through the night docking ships and loading containers. The moon traces the sky before the sun rises, indicating a new day. The video returns to the same point overlooking the city, however less surreal than the intro revealing the city’s mechanical process with wind turbines generating energy to power the city and industries and inhabitants consuming it up. This regulated cycle continues, concluding with shaky time-lapse footage of energy being vigorously pumped through the cities arties appearing to push the its capacity to its limit.
