'Walk in Shanghai' is a high-definition vision of the city's urban appeal
There's no better way to experience a city than a leisurely tour through the streets where locals outnumber tourists. This mesmerizing video of Shanghai provides a new perspective on the enormous Chinese metropolis, but the creator says it's only the beginning.
"‘Walk in Shanghai’ is only an introductory tour of Shanghai's urban streets," said JT Singh, who produced the video.
Singh has produced similar videos in the past, including a unique look into daily life in Pyongyang, North Korea.
For Shanghai, urban landscapes take on a new shape as the action is reversed, sped up and slowed down.
"It’s through a heightened focus on one man’s seemingly unstructured journey that we discover the ultimate protagonist of this story: the transcendent power of using your legs for discovering a city,".
The team that worked on the video included Singh, Charles Lanceplaine, Joe Nafis, Ling, Jay Meador, Christina Lu, Ema Liao, Lucie Mouchet, Hoi Hoi, with sound design by Slava Pogorelsky.
