Cameron Michael, creator of the lauded "The Manhattan Project," gives his practical advice for creating your own stunning time-lapse videos.

He says, "(The film took) about five months--and the first two times I went out I have to admit I was miserable. The gear was heavy and I was ill-prepared. I didn’t have the weight distributed correctly so only managed to shoot one sequence each day."

From cherry blossom trees to bumper-to-bumper traffic, many sides of New York are explored in Cameron Michael's "The Manhattan Project." The time-lapse took him over 5 months to capture. Watch below. (via Chase Jarvis)
