Leto, it was awesome. I have no words.

[Chopsticks]

Wow. Just wow.

Beautiful video, I really enjoyed it.

I had run a news bit, but it really deserved more visibility than a single spot on the news bar for a week. I put it up on the home page (with a link back here) where it'll likely stay until something fresh and new replaces it, or the next expansion requires the space

Bravo, Leto!  I did recognize the music right away, but then I have a very good ear for music.  Really beautiful.  Makes me almost like Bridgeport.

I suppose I'm late seeing that comments have been ongoing for a month... new member here... very- minutes ago. This would be my first post =)

I watched it twice; first with no sound then with; with is better. It's visually stunning without, but that wore off for me at around minute 4. With the music, it held my attention even though contrast of the quick, speed 6 visual and the slowed music could be considered a bit pedestrian, the camera work and the fact that the speed of the camera movement matched the music- it works.

Very well done. I enjoyed it. Thank you. It really does make you look at Bridgeport in a new light.

@ejnarts1: Thank you for your great compliment and welcome to the forum. Yes, I have chosen the slowed down music in contrast with the fast forwarded film and slow camera moving. With fast music it would feel like being excite.

Congratulations I enjoyed it. The only thing I would want to see is more Sims interacting. The music is cool.

I'm a bit late in posting this, sorry. The video was amazing Leto, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the contrast between the high speed panning of Bridgeport, which goes well with what we know as city life, and the slow music (must admit did not recognise it as the Sims 3 theme music). For me it gave me the image that all the high speed hustle and bustle of a city, from afar, all merges into one beautiful slow dance.

AMAZING!  How do you get your camera to move so smoothly?  Also loved the slowed Theme Song.  Great Work.

Just saw this Leto...you are a true artist.  Amazing video.  I especially loved the part inside the butterfly pavillion, just beautiful.

There is a file within the Electronic Arts folder which can get edited (no mods, just by typing) to influence the camera movement. It normally is set standard as speed 1, but I have degreased it to 200 mostly while already being in speed 3 ingame to make everything exactly like I wanted it.
As an example, the shot where the camera was floating down the Vampire Statebuilding (I forgot the real name) was actually 6 minutes long while recording in Sims live mode speed 3. It took 2 simdays totally.
