Mirror City Timelapse

- When I first started Mirror City, I wanted to create a video that was completely out of the norm. I wanted to showcase something unique and artistic, which takes Timelapse photography into a more abstract direction. Mirror City is a visual story through some of the great American cities: Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. These clips were all processed from their original form, into the kaleidoscopic visuals that you see in this video. Many people visit these large cities every day, and all of these places have been shot and filmed, but I wanted to emulate these urban landscapes in a way that nobody has even seen before. I wanted to put man-made geometric shapes, mixed with elements of color and movement to create less of a structured video, and more of a plethora of visual stimulation.
The video starts off with simple mirrors and recognizable architecture, as the video progresses, so does the visual stimulation, showing the real abstraction of the piece.
I have worked on this piece for an extremely long amount of time. I have spent time mirroring images and videos for the past five years, and I have been working on this specific piece for about four months. I felt it was time to combine Timelapse photography and the simplicity of a kaleidoscope, and create Mirror City.

It´s like making Mandalas out of a cityscape. Amazing!
It's like a living kaleidoscope... So beautiful... I'm in awe.
5 years on and this still blows my mind
Mr Michael ! just 10 years you created that fantastic piece of art I cant keep watching on and on, inspired me so much wonder so unreal but just true... you just kicked the art of timelapse. You're a genius, wow :)
absolutely splendid 🤎
Man, I smoked a joint and watched this video. It took me somewhere else. Fun to watch!
incredible! visually fantastic! great song choice too! greetings from brazil!
Definitely a professional showcase. Excellent.
Being a photographer and newbie in timelapse, I can totally understand how amazing piece of art this is.... I've always admired work and have followed it for a very long time! It's difficult enough to capture single timelapse and editing it even so little takes so much more time! Creating this is like Mind blowing!! This is definitely original stuff in it's purest form!!
definitely one of the greatest videos ive ever seen
This is probably THE trippiest video i've ever seen! Great for when you're baked!
BASSNECTAR! Great video, great song selection. Gorgeous
I had no idea that you or this channel existed and now that I do.. I'm unashamedly obsessed! As a portrait photographer I have a huge appreciation for landscape, nature, and long exposure photography! I'm beyond impressed with your work! Thank you for sharing these beautiful images with us.
The combination of the film and the music is almost, hypnotic. Very well done!
Mirror City Timelapse Mirror City on CZcams now too, in case some of you prefer CZcams or if Vimeo doesn't run well on your computer.
Wow, I've been shooting time lapse for 10 years. I've seen so much and had gotten pretty jaded with my own work as well the work of other people, but this is just spectacular. It's like that trip movie "Infinity's Child" meets M. C. Escher meets Baraka.
My mind has been blown...in more ways than one.
Thank you for this amazing song!!!!
I really like the effect. 👍Using video clips make the kaleidoscope more random and each second is unique.
This is super creative and very well done. With a great song on top of that. SUPERB.
Breathtakingly stunning stuff. I just had an eyegasm
A truly unique work of art. totally cool. I love to watch it again every now and then to see if there was something i missed
SUBIME ARTWORK!!!
This is phenomenal. Just amazing. Wonderful Job!
Okay was it just me, or did that song just give you goosebumps. I dunno, it might just be cold. But this tune was really nice
How amazing, great work michael, thanks for sharing with us
Every time I watch this, I am immediately relaxed and in awe. Thank you once again for sharing this masterpiece with us.
Stunning video! Make sure you watch it on a large screen rather than a mobile device. I started to watch it on my iPhone and it didn't get my attention. Once I watched it on a large screen, I was mesmerized. I found myself saying "wow" over and over. Big up @Michael Shainblum!
Very interesting and unique! Way to give the world a new perspective.
A Magical Masterpiece
Most original thing a I've seen in a long long time.
thanks Joe!

I have a hard time sitting through most time lapse videos, but this one kept my attention all the way through and it continues to stay in my brain - very nicely done.

Ooh!!... you just given me an idea to use a kaleidoscope setting on my timelapse videos I've created!!.. thanks for the idea... never thought of doing this before.... amazing video too!👍🏻
Watched this epic video today. This was a really great work, Michael 😍.
thats really nice of you to say!
Love love love this. So creative
This is a masterpiece.
Absolutely mesmerizing.
Holy shit... that's absolutely the most epic and incredible stuff I've ever seen to be done with a camera. I don't want to think about how long this must have taken... This video should be known by everybody!
I think the beauty that many are lost , not be more ignorant people who appreciate it , do not care , but at least if there is someone who cares about the magnitude of beauty, and brings it to the world.
The answers are all in there man, if your ready to look for them. Stunning and cool video.
Best description of this video is this....
Star Wars meets Inception meets Tron

totaly blew me away, just awesome work!
This is pure art
This song was brilliant along side with the creativity and superb abstract work to display, this song have me spine chilling thrills that also stimulated my mind to picture memories or show me things that relate to the song. Thank you so much.
Great job. Thumbs up
This is beautiful!
This is like the beginning of a James Bond movie.
If you flip your computer screen upside down it is the same video, and If you flip your computer screen 90 degrees, half of the scenes will still appear to be the same... just a fun thing to try out if you are bored.
Wow this is the coolest video I have ever seen, I'm very new to time lapse, and I would love to be this good some day.
