"NYC Dark" is a surreal look at the city after Sandy
(CBS News) While Hurricane Sandy is over and recovery is well underway (though, with a nor'easter coming), your blogger here can attest to the surreal experience that was New York City in the aftermath of the storm. And the video above perfectly captures a lot of that experience.
The Vimeo video entitled "NYD Dark" had stills and voice done by Jared Levy, timelapse and music by Michael Marantz and the video itself was produced and posted by Already Alive who write:

This piece is meant to capture and relay the feeling of what it was like to walk around the darkened streets of lower Manhattan.
