The video was released a year ago, but with a different music and composition. We like more the last version, but you decide. Here are two "time-lapse" LA without a car, a portion of Interstate 405 for construction.

Running on Empty (Revisited)

With "Carmageddon" looming in Los Angeles, Ross Ching decided to take his "LA with no cars" video and re-edit it with new music, coloring and opening shots. Editing was done in Final Cut, coloring done with After Effects and shot on a Canon 60D.

Music: Wim Mertens - Often a Bird

Here's the basics:
1. Record for many hours.
2. Go frame by frame and grab pieces of the road that aren't obstructed by a car. Eventually, you will have every piece of the road.
3. Put the static image of the road in with the moving background.
