More often than not, time-lapse videos about cities fail to capture its subject’s heartbeat due to a focus on the mundane. Sure watching a sky turn from day to night is cool, but cool doesn’t always equate to interesting. I want to see something actually happen.

Set to the song, “All My Friends” by LCD Soundsystem, This is Japan!, a captivating seven-minute montage by Eric Testroete, has the common thread of all successful examples of this genre: it makes the viewer feel like they physically participated in every moment of the director’s journey.

Nearly 2,800 photographs were used in this film.

thanks claire!
