This is awesome! The difference in impression between the Seoul and Mumbai films (or at least between the places he chose to film in each) is striking. It seems to me that Seoul with its glass and concrete cityscape full of lights, highways, and clean lines is a much better fit for a speeded-up art form like this; it makes the city look like one living organism. Mumbai environments with fewer urban structures but so full of colors and human movement would benefit from the opposite approach - slowing down an focusing on the detail. I kinda wish he made a second set of films to compare :)
