All Cut Up Films’ ‘Snow Globe Los Angeles’ a holiday video treat

All Cut Up Films created a holiday present for Angelenos: “Snow Globe Los Angeles.”

You can’t buy it in a store, but you can tweet it to friends. Freelance filmmaker Colin Mika shot the time-lapse “snow globe” that’s a fun tribute to Los Angeles.

It’s a mash-up of 4,000 still images of L.A. and its environs. It’s a nice visual stroll from the Hollywood sign and downtown to the beach (I especially like the fireworks sequence).

Along with a Canon 5D MII camera, it was created with “a homemade tilt-shift style lens” and a light bulb filled with water, the website says.

Enjoy!
