Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Dallas IMAX Aerial Showcase from Phillip Thomas on Vimeo.
You may not know the name, but you're very familiar with the work of filmmaker Phillip Thomas -- he's the man behind the camera for such things as the Dallas Mavericks' home-opening videos, the IMAX intro at Museum of Nature & Science in Fair Park, countless commercials and, no kiddin', this Queenryche video. Over the weekend, Thomas posted to Vimeo his time-lapse aerials taken of downtown -- both day and during the night -- that have been cut and pasted into a few of his shorts; I've left messages, but this appears to be the first time he's let the whole reel roll. After the jump, a bonus: his State Fair of Texas short.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
