Videographer Paul Richardson has been shooting timelapse videos for more than two years. In this 4K clip, which he put on YouTube on Monday, he pulled together some of his best work shot in cities around the world. 

"This video showcases the results of many sleepless nights, hundreds of thousands of photos, and countless hours shooting," he wrote on his YouTube page. "I couldn’t even begin to calculate how many hours of work there will be showcased in this piece, but I imagine it’s into the hundreds, if not thousands of hours."
