Tom Ryaboi made our list of the 50 greatest street photographers right now, but he also dabbles in filmmaking. He's melded his two talents into one awesome project, scoring the video to Hans Zimmer's "Journey to the Line." Each angle and location was shot in Toronto, Canada. Ryaboi says,

"Over and above all the technical challenges — motion control gear, constantly changing light, aperture flicker — shooting a timelapse forces you to look inside: after setting up your shot, there’s often not much you can do for hours, but sit up there and ponder while the camera does it's thing. The relationship between the cold glass, steel and concrete below coupled with the often majestic clouds, sky and sun/moon never ceases to be a source of wonder. And so the purpose of what you’re doing becomes a frequent question in your mind."
