Beautiful video by Spy films entitled “Nuit Blanche“. This unbelievably stunning video made me think of the “Temper Trap” song “Sweet disposition” due to one of the lines in the song “A moment of love”.

Definitely worth checking out for Freelancers, there are two versions, a free one which I was looking at and a $15.99 version that has tons of extra features. If you base your projects on hours I would recommend the %15.99 version as its features look awesome.
