It's quite unreal and almost hard to believe it's genuine footage because of that instead it looks like a very accurate film set.It's just incredible technology has moved on to the degree that I could fly to New York and live stream a much higher quality version directly yet it would almost be worthless in comparison because so many others are doing the same.

There was a film I watched a few years go called Everlasting Moments in which a young struggling Swedish family in the early 1900's win a camera.At that time cameras are incredibly rare and even individual photos are highly costly so a lot of care is needed in choosing a photo.I love the digital world and what it offers but still thought the film gave a good look at a time when photography was so different:

Presumably the computer invents the intermediate frames - that's good. But I disliked the Foley - somewhat contrived. The horse carts had one effect despite followinging over a wooden ramp. I guess available SFX libraries don't include non-existent recordings of horse drays (going about their daily business). I recall I tried to record a "tour guide" horse and cart, but the 20th C. city Ambient was too strong.   Perhaps I should have turned-up at their stables, before the City awakes - that would probably give me a10dB advantage..... Cheers
