Two days of cleaning in four minutes

After posting the YouTube video of one of my old stop-motion films, I remembered that I shot some time-lapse video this past spring.

Crews were cleaning all the gunge and filth off the concrete exterior of the Halifax Metro Centre. The power washing was interesting to watch in real time, but probably more enjoyable as a temporally compressed experience. We had a perfect view out the apartment window, so I perched the webcam on the edge of a vase and shot for two or three days. I stitched the videos together and added some Ween music, and the result is shown below.
