Whitworth Street-based online video experts, Lanor Productions, have just completed two months of solid work on this new stunning high-definition 4K (4000 pixels) time lapse video of Manchester.
The team snapped a total of 2700 photos on order to produce this one minute snap shot of Manchester.
The video features time lapse footage of Deansgate Locks, Castlefield, Manchester Cathedral, Chinatown, and Piccadilly Garden's big wheel, amongst other locations.
