    I remember watching this back when it came out and I've been dreaming about travelling to San Francisco since I was a kid ... This summer I got to finally do it and spend 5 weeks in San Francisco on a scholarship for my future career. Fair to say, everything I had on my "bucket list" I did, and cried like a new-born baby!

    I was born in San Francisco and went to school there. Man this video brings back some memories. Bet I walked a lot of that video in my youth. Would love to go back and see how its changed. Been 40 years since I've seen it. Thanks for the memories.

    You sir, nailed it. Well done. How often can one experience the life and beauty of the city without the distractions that humanity provides. Haven't been there since 16 October 1989.

    @ Everyone involved in this project:
    This is an amazing piece on an amazing city. You captured a side of San Francisco that most people who live all their lives there would never have known. Many thanks to all of you.

      +Daniel Williams Combination of time-lapse and long exposure with neutral density filter. Easy technique, but you have to be creative to come up with something like this video.

    As a proud SF Native, having been born and raised in this beautiful City by the Bay - I do think this is lovely, but the best thing about my Hometown is the PEOPLE, and yes, even the traffic, tourists, and transplants all lend some of their own beauty to make SF one of the greatest cities in the WORLD. GO NINERS & GIANTS!!

    The city I was born and raised in. I will always love SF. Now I live in San Jose, and despite what many people may think, it is an equally amazing city (almost). The fact that they were able to clear the streets of the 2nd most densly populated city in North America, is an engineering feat in and of itself. Bay Area = the best large metropolitan area in the world with no equal (unparalleled). Oakland believe it or not, is nearly a world class city in it's own right (despite the crime).

    @14 secs, it shows Haight/Ashbury at the corner of the Drogstore Cafe.
    They had great burgers.
    At the right, the red car is parked in front of the building where I lived on the 3rd floor in later '67.
    What a time I had living there in '68 & '68.
    I live a different life now butt, there are some memories of that time which are "groovy".lol

    Not all lights are triggered weight sensors. Some are on timers. The timing is calculated based on the type of intersection and engineering investigations into number and type of cars passing through the intersection

    Notice how when the clouds move, there is no shade or shadow on the ground. It's a unique editing effect that allows for a still of a shot while the editor moves one distinct object (flags, traffic lights, clouds, etc). Vsauce covered this in one of their IMG videos, I think.

    We all have problems. Life is not easy for any of us. I have a life threatening illness, and I'm only 42. I'm seriously considering ending my career in the computer industry and going on disability. I can't handle the stress. You should consider yourself lucky to be going to college in the states. Work hard. Stay focused, and don't let your situation get you depressed. Stay positive and things will work out for you. Peace out.

    The weirdest part is the shot of the Bay Bridge at 0.56 That's just never empty, except during closures. I've seen the rest of The City look like this at times, just early in the morning instead of middle of the day. When you're an early jogger then seeing this is more normal. Looks gorgeous though. Crowds mess up the beauty of a lot of places.

    This is a great video! Especially the Seattle one, but how do you guys make these? I'm just wondering because they're highly populated cities and are one of the worst traffic cities. It's just weird to see them with no cars and people. Also, I know it's called Empty America and there aren't supposed to be anyone. I'm just curious.
