I shot a timelapse of the Tokyo skyline at sunset that is similar to this but with much more detail [0], and then motion tracked it so that time is traveling across the frame from left to right[1]. In a similar process to the linked NASA image, the video is made of strips, but each strip is 4 pixels wide. It turned out very different compared to how I imagined it would, but that is due to the stages explained in the linked article. Super interesting!

These timelapses are beautiful, thank you for sharing. Any particular place in Tokyo you filmed it from?

Also, I find it interesting in the second timelapse how distinct the separation between day and night is.

Cheers! I became a bit obsessed with timelapses and this technique during the pandemic. It was shot in Ichikawa, Chiba, close to the station.

And yes, definitely, it's quite stark. I guess a combination of being shot in summer and Tokyo's location relatively close to the equator. I'm originally from southern Australia and the dusk there is far longer.
