“The Big Adventure” is a mind-boggling subway ride that can best be described as a daily commuter’s dream come true. The time-lapse photography film was shot on Toronto’s University subway line. The ride starts at the top (Wilson) and races to the bottom (Union) at a simulated speed of 350 miles per hour! Although it appears to be one continuous run, the film is actually a compilation of seven trips down the line shot between 2:00 and 9:00 o’clock in the evening.
