LT24 is an experimental movie directed by Lucio Arese with Ametsub music, bringing an original technique that links images and music together through timelapse.

The film depicts a 24 hours day (from 0 AM to 0 AM) compressed into 2 minutes 24 seconds (600x) where a group of construction workers builds a steel structure placed into a square arena.

A 24 hour portion of reality is accelerated at whirling speed remaining organized into the guidelines of a musical structure; at the same time, a 2 minutes 24 seconds piece of music is "projected" into a 24 hour timespan, synchronizing and shaping every significative event - even the movement of every single worker is related to the music. This process creates a bidirectional relationship between music and motion picture, linking them into an imaginary dimension where the flow of visual and audio events is totally bounded together: this could be called "structured timelapse".
