The Death Cab video launched his career and garnered him representation with A Common Thread. One of his biggest Internet videos recently is a video in which he made all the traffic in SF disappear. It's a time-lapse video of empty San Francisco freeways all day. His time lapse has garnered him major recognition on the internet and worldwide.
