Although the background music works really well with the video, the video quality itself really exemplifies what timelapse can do visually and artistically. Varying camera techniques such as dollying and the speed of the motion at the same time exaggerate the vastness and depth of beauty of Russian landscape. The color composition is another great component of this work; without any plot, the mixture of natural dark and fluorescent, bright colors makes you simply appreciate the film and keep watching for the breathtaking beauty. The combination of slow and grand movement of clouds with contrastingly fast moving cityscape underneath provides a real sense of epicness. The calm and at the same time dramatic sound of violin on top of beautiful images of Saint-Petersburg simply makes the film better and amazing.
