There are times that New York City can seem overwhelmingly large —
this video is not one of them. Using tilt-shift photography, an artist
named Sam O’Hare has transformed real footage of the city into a
miniature world that looks as though it was created with modeling glue.
Scenes from the video seen on Gothamist
include tour boats leaving a dock, visitors walking in and out of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, people
walking along the High Line, views of building rooftops, traffic
careening past Madison Square Park and along the West Side Highway as
well as a series of images depicting sites under various stages of
construction.
