Nike+ NYC Timelapse

Nike+ NYC Timelapse HD from CSmith on Vimeo.

“I was interested in visualizing not only where these runs were taking place, but also, at what time of day. I decided to create a timelapse video, displaying each individual route at the time of day it took place. Moreover, I elected to use a map of New York City, but rather, let the running data generate a map of New York City as the runners move throughout the city. Paths, streets, and bridges all start to emerge as the day goes on and more runners move through the city.”
