It starts out with a dot that drops into the upper left corner of the screen and for 13 seconds it streams to the lower right corner. It's the sun setting in time lapse. Then another dot and another and another and they start appearing in groups, moving across the same track. He shot the same view of the sunset in stop motion for 5 years.
