inter // states from Samuel Cockedey on Vimeo.
Hi folks! Well, Samuel Cockedey has told me he’s gotten a brand new time-lapse video for you Neatoramanauts, lucky you! This time he’s changed his from filming his fantastic soothing landscape vistas of Tokyo and has gotten down to the nitty-gritty of the city life full of it’s hustle and bustle – specifically focusing upon the realm of transportation.
I can’t help but watch in awe at how all the scenes coalesce into a well oiled machine of movement and light…one could easily (or rather naively!) imagine the light pulses and streams of activity like that of data flowing through a massive computer.
The music is in collaboration with Paul Frankland, aka Woob, an ambient/electronic artist whose stuff you can find in the link below. Also, just search for Samuel’s name to see his other videos here on Neatorama! 
I highly suggest checking out the video in full screen mode or on the Vimeo site itself for a larger view…oh and plant on some headphones!

Samuel Cockedey, has been kind enough to give me a heads up whenever he had a time-lapse video for you Neatoramanuats in the past and so it was great when he contacted me recently to tell me he’s got one hot off the hard drive! A little slower paced than his previous works it still has plenty of amazing shots of the Tokyo skyline and city.
A photographer and a video artist hailing from France, Samuel has been living and working in Tokyo since 2000 and films and edits these videos as a hobby of his on the weekends. When I asked him why he takes time-lapse videos of the skyline of Tokyo instead of hitting the streets and getting the human element he said,
“I like wide shots because they’re more cinematic and more surreal. From afar it almost looks like an alien planet or colony, it leaves more to the imagination. I tend to find street shots more trivial, less dreamy and exciting.”
You can see his other videos that we have up here on Neatorama just below:

Samuel Cockedey is a good friend of ours here at Neatorama and had been showcased in the past with his two amazing time lapse videos “Remanence : Variance” and “Static : Pulse“. He was kind enough to email us recently with news of a brand new and tantalizingly beautiful time lapse video that he had taken around Mount Fuji, Miyajima and Iwate prefecture in Japan.
Like his previous works this one is breathtaking and gorgeous with two of my favourite scenes being the very first scene in the clip and the other at the 2:14 mark. To truly enjoy this clip I suggest you check it out in HD on his Vimeo page (link under the video!).
Those of you interested in the song it is called “One Perfect Sunrise” by Orbital and Lisa Gerrard.

Back in April we had put up a time lapse video clip by Samuel Cockedey called Remanence : Variance and folks seemed to have enjoyed watching it. Samuel, was kind enough to have contacted Neatorama recently with the news that he had just created a new video for us to watch hot off the proverbial presses.
The video shot in gorgeous HD is a lot more cinematic with grand vistas of Tokyo, various shots of the city coming alive with the buzzing traffic and buildings lighting up. My favourite part of the video has got to be the shot he has at the 1:00 mark with the clouds storming in over the city 
* It goes without saying you gotta watch this in HD. You can either hit the expand button on the video as it plays (for full screen viewing) or head to the Vimeo link below the clip to watch it in a larger size.
