Watch This Timelapse of Microsoft’s Original HQ Being Built From Scratch

Check out this fantastic timelapse of Microsoft's original headquarters being built. Back in 1985, when planners plotted out the rising company's campus, Microsoft figured it'd need 88 acres of land in a forest near a one-stoplight suburb of Seattle called Redmond. The first office complex was a total of four star-shaped buildings you see in the video, built over the course of 7 months. Now, its 125-building campus sprawls over 500 acres — a city unto itself.

Watch Five Hours of Commercial Jet Flyovers Timelapsed Down Into Thirty Crowded Seconds

What?! Is that a squadron of commercial airliners?! Not quite, but through the magic of editing, it sure looks like it. With the help of Adobe Premier, Cy Kuckenbaker took five hours of plane landings on Black Friday and condensed them down into just thirty seconds using composite and timelapse techniques like the ones seen in Empty America. The result is a staggering vision of some sort of commercial jetliner apocalypse, and it's damn cool. [PetaPixel] Read More >>

Lucky Timelapse Catches Montreal In Flames

A timelapse of a city skyline can be stunning in its own right, but every now and then, something crazy will happen out of the blue. It's just that kind of event that photographer Evan Kitaljevich was able to capture while filming his first ever timelapse of Montreal. Ktaljevich just happened to have his camera pointed in the right direction when a three-alarm fire broke out on Thursday. The result is fantastic, if a bit unfortunate to watch.
