Authentic random sample of worldwide footage
From 1 comment
It's interesting getting effectively a random sample of the entire world's use of a photography app, it's very authentic. My personal favourite videos are the ones shot out…

Objections
Not really live streaming; these are recordings

Videos are regular footage sped up, not true hyperlapses

Gap between videos during cutover

This is awesome and beautiful. I wonder if it would be possible to preload the next video somehow to avoid the gap between videos?

Fullscreen mode

Hide or relocate music controls
From 1 comment
Same. I found myself wanting to be more immersed. Maybe the music controls could be hidden or the videos could be viewed full screen.

How the interface was built and how long it took
From 1 comment
I was wondering how you came up with this very simple interface ? Also, how much time did it took you ?

Whether music can sync to cuts on the beat
From 1 comment
Great idea, I love it! It could be interesting to try fade to black when a track is finished, cut clips on a beat or similar, but I wonder if you can since the sound is played in…

Koyaanisqatsi and Baraka films

Amazing. Meditating upon time-lapsed video backed by drone music is something I've been addicted to ever since I first saw Baraka. If you like this and you're not aware of Baraka…
pierrec on HNI turned off the sound and put on Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4WlNj1TTqA I skipped ahead to the 10 minute mark.
