Boston’s rush hour traffic isn’t so terrible to watch in miniature form.

Sitting through Boston rush hour traffic is never fun.

But watching other people sit through traffic in a video filmed on miniature mode, with Hans Zimmer playing in the background, is another story.

Videographer and train afficionado Tom Costello filmed Boston’s expressway and trains on Thursday afternoon using his Canon’s miniature mode. The effect makes the vehicles appear like little toys being manipulated by the unforgiving Traffic Gods. It’s mesmerizing to watch.
