The Cans Festival was Banksy’s street art event that took place in London a few months back.
Now, there’s an official time-lapse video of the festival coming together, and it’s a fantastic look at some alternative art coming together and taking shape.
Chad Pugh’s Science Machine is a beautiful piece of art that was created using Adobe Illustrator over a 40-hour time frame (double that if you add in concept time and readying the print).
During that time, Chad has his computer set up to take a screenshot every five seconds so that you can follow along from beginning to end though a time lapse as this piece comes to life:
Time-lapse photography can make anything exponentially more exciting, so it should come as no surprise that the seemingly boring subject of a parking lot takes on a life of its own when you can watch 24 hours flash by in just over a minute.
Called Cars and People, it was shot using a Canon Digital Rebel XT SLR camera with 15-second intervals between shots at the parking lot on Bay and Edward in Toronto.
To officially reveal the box art for Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar put a bunch of artists in a warehouse and had them create a giant poster of the new cover.
It’s a time lapse that’s shot in HD, so you know that it’s going to be good. (And that it’s going to get posted here.)
Over Labor Day weekend, the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge was closed in both directions while crews replaced a football field sized chunk of it.
The 6,500-ton section took months to build and days to install, but you can watch the install happen in just seconds thanks to the wonders of time-lapse.
My favorite part? Watching how often large groups of workers are just standing around and talking.
