A Day Like This in New York | 20 Minutes of Relaxing Ambient City Film

New York from before dawn to after dark, in one unbroken 20-minute piece. No narration and nothing on screen to read. Slow crossfades between 106 shots, an ambient score with no percussion, and the ambience of the city under it. Leave it running while you work, read or sleep.

Rendered at 7680x4320 (8K). 105 of 106 shots are native 4K (3840 to 4096 pixels wide), scaled up to the 8K canvas with Lanczos and light sharpening; 1 shot is native 8K. Nothing is below 4K. Audio is mixed to about -16 LUFS, quieter than a narrated film, so it sits under whatever else you are doing. No voice and no on-screen text. Optional captions (CC) name the place in each shot; they are off unless you switch them on. Every shot is New York. Clips were only used if their source page identifies the location as New York, and every shot was checked by eye. Footage All footage is licensed from Pexels (free for commercial use).
