DUBAI: An American photographer has released a new time-lapse video that aims to capture the restless, bustling nature of Dubai’s time-lapse video scene.

The six-minute short, made by Finnegan Toss, looks at first glance as if it has been shot using a video camera, but in fact has been made up of over 40,000 stills taken of photographers making their own time-lapse videos of the city.

The video includes footage of photographers brandishing their DSLR cameras at landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Dubai Fountain, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah.

“Dubai is a photographer’s paradise if you’re into people making time-lapse videos of the traffic and architecture and stuff to stick on Vimeo with a futuristic soundtrack,” said Toss. “That’s what really captured my imagination.”
