Without no Doubt this is made in AE or Nuke (godrays)
it doesn’t look photoreel but i love the idea.
If i had to make one critic, it would be that it’s a bit long, you want to see other biuildings, landscapes, or the video to be shorter
Thanks for sharing

My guess is AE, Considering the fact that lights are far brighter as compare to others and also there wasn’t any reflection even with that much intensity of lights.

it’s both but the lights are composited there is a window which is slightly ajar in the last bit of the sequence on the far building (3rd story) in the lighted overlay the angle is strait i made a photoshopy thing to illustrate:

Also, the use of Trapcode Shine is pretty obvious. Nicely done, however!

100% AE. None of the lighting effects show up in any reflection or give halos on other buildings, which given their intensity they should.

My guess is AE in part because of the purity of the sync, but also the haze from the lights, which are amazingly brighter than the other lights. If I had to deconstruct, I’d probably start by building a virtual stand-in scene in 3D and put the lights behind the architectural elements.

However it was done, it’s beautiful.
