    I love how this video is almost completely devoid of people and focuses on seemingly insignificant locations, yet is still really beautiful.

    Cool, Captain Awesome indeed.

    i agree captain awesome!

    the time where everyone is asleep, and streets are desolate and sort of peaceful.

    Collateral and some Ron Fricke for sure. Relaxing to the eye and yet so intriguing. Great work sir.
  • Ivan Villafuerte 1 year ago
    that's very humbling. thank you for watching.

  • J.D. Funari plus 1 year ago
    Great shots, eerie piece. Wish you hadn't included the profile traffic shot at 2:08 as it broke the illusion of lifelessness (all other shots of people are from afar). Favorite shot is the city sprawl at 3:25. Also really nice transition at 5:20.

    Oh, Chicago... You brought me back.

    3:20 was taken from the Sears Tower, right? I know exactly where that area is. I can see a block I used to work on over on the right (Halsted & Randolph) and now I'm hungry for Jim Ching.

  • Paul Hamilton plus 1 year ago
    Ivan beautiful images and soundtrack (I listened on headphones). As someone else stated above I love the night time shots - low light capability of the 5D, and mostly devoid of people... surreal.

    "Heads up" with the street lights in Chicago - horizontal banding in the footage. I discovered this when I started testing the 7D in the alleys: it's necessary to adjust the shutter speed in order to get in phase (or out of phase) with the frequency of the lights. I still have not found the "magic" shutter speed. For example the two clips in your video, from 2:00 to 2:06, if you speed up the clips you will see the horizontal banding, but of course it isn't that noticeable when played in real time! (yes I am a geek).

    Cheers, Paul in Chicago
