NYE - Times Square (12.31.13)
Music by: Ryan Taubert "Kings" - (Music licensed via www.themusicbed.com)
New York City is at the top of the list when it comes to New Year's eve celebrations around the country. Nothing beats the magical 12 foot sparkling Waterford crystal ball descent at the stroke of midnight. Times Square is arguably one of the most electrifying places to bring in the new year, which is why it is no surprise that it has become the global celebration with millions of broadcast viewers.
This New Year's Eve timelapse production was produced using more than 18,000 still frames, shot over the course of 12 hours from two hotel rooftop locations ( DoubleTree Suites by Hilton New York City - Times Square and Manhattan Times Square ) led by Noel Cordero, Brandon Cotter & Hector Arrivillaga of the Timelapse Group. Objective of the project was to grab b-roll footage of regular video, time-lapse, & slow-motion clips of the ball drop, for next years NYE promotional video for the client.
