Vancouver Time Lapse Video (Redub)

These guys put together an extremely visually compelling time lapse video featuring scenes of my city! Unfortunately, the music they chose was dreadful.  Cheesy, Enya-inspired, new age music with lyrics about Vancouver -- just too obvious and literal.

In honor of today's opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Games, I decided to do everyone a favor and redub this amazing video with some other music that I thought better reflected Vancouver's mood.

Vancouver is such an aesthetically pleasing city, and my one Olympic wish is that TV stations covering the games transmit that in their broadcasts.  Tonight's opening ceremonies present an opportunity for all sorts of helicopter and crane shots. Let's make it happen TV networks!

Today, someone pointed out to me another amazing way to take in Vancouver over the internet.  This site gives you 360 rotational viewpoints from several points in the city.  The images are large, allowing you to zoom in quite a bit.  It's the next best thing to flying over the city!
