Thrash Lab’s “Empty America” timelapse travel series takes you to New York City. All the bridge and tunnel people have been sent home and Manhattan has been wiped empty! Penn Station, Wall Street, Central Park, Times Square, The Met and Fifth Avenue have never looked so vacant. Sorry New Yorkers, you won’t have much luck getting a cab, but you can experience your city beautiful and empty and take in the iconic streets and architecture without clutter!

And as a bonus (of course after you watch the New York City timelapse), director Ross Ching made this video providing a few valuable tips to consider when your are making a video (for the internet):
1. length – make it quick and sweet
2. the ten second hook – catch your audiences attention right away
3. sustainability – get your viewers to stick around and watch until the end

Watch the first timelapse video in the Empty America series. The streets of San Francisco are vacant. And watch watch the second video in the Empty America series in Seattle.
