What Makes a Killer Timelapse, with Joe Capra

Summary -
In the video, I saw many different timelapses all over the city of Rio de Janeiro. As this happened, the video showed mostly the movement of water, clouds, people, and other vehicular transport. This interested me because I loved the quality of the video, the subjects the photographer decided to use, and the placement of the camera.

Questions - 
a. Describe what you saw in the video. 
          What I saw in the video was described in the summary above. But a few other things that I saw in the video was a great example of Camera Placement, or Perspective. 
b. Try to figure out who made the video. If it was a photographer, look them up on Google and see if you can learn more about them.
          The videographer of the timelapse video was author of the website article, Joe Capra. This photographer/videographer usually does hard-to-capture moments of photographer out in the wilderness where he is out, surviving more than living. 
c. If there is a story about the video on the website, paraphrase it in 2-3 sentences.
          The only story I can seem to pick up from the series of timelapse videos is that they are from a variety of different places around Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
d.  What did you learn new? 
          Something that I learned from the video and article relating to the timelapses captured by Joe Capra, is that the placement and actions happening in the timelapse make it all that much better than some other, regular timelapse.
