what equipment what used?
Tom Mason 11 months ago

Hey, thanks.
This was shot on the Canon 7D at 60fps, using the Glidecam 4000. Lens was the Canon 15-85mm, set all the way wide at 15mm.
Thanks for checking it out!

Josh Kesner 11 months ago

Really nice. I appreciate the mixture of street photography and cinematography.

Very clever using the music used in Man on Wire to accompany footage shot from below street level.

Sam Jones 11 months ago

I love that feeling, and this video portrays it very well. The song sounds very familiar; what is it from?
W O 11 months ago

It's Gymnopedia No 1 by Erik Satie, written sometime around 1888

unfortunate this song is being overused recently, ever since "the fire within" by Louis Malle

Jason Honeycutt 11 months ago

What I dig about it is this 'film school' fresh approach to a subject without the film school 'figuring it out' look... which is a good thing. As a seemingly easy topic, it's not... it's like a rebirth into the unknown where you come out of the subway and have to gain your bearings. Love it.
Kuleshov Productions 11 months ago

Really liked it; thought the music went great with it as well.

Iron Way Films 11 months ago

If anyone tells me they've never been to NYC I will refer them to this video as research. Perfectly captures the wonderment that we take for granted everyday.
Remyyy 11 months ago

You first got me (in the first second) thanks to your choice of music (If there is one song I like, that's the one). Then, well, your work got me completely. It's really amazing ! Beauty of places, beauty of spaces, beauty of people. Thank you !

This is so lovely, yet the credits seem premature and the music truncated. Why not include another minute of footage and complete the Satie?

you really take this clip on Canon 7D??
Yoann CASALS 11 months ago

This is actually wonderful. Do you mind if I record the same concept in Paris and quote you on Credits. 'cause that must create particular feelings for the New Yorkers, maybe I can share this with the french.

Anyway, great work.

Hey there, we actually have one in the works for Paris. But thanks so much for the great feedback!

Luke Flegg D.o.P 11 months ago

I don't know if only positive comments should be left.. i just feel this video epitomizes some of the things that frustrate me about the Vimeo filmmaking philosophy; remove the kit (slo mo, steadicam) and you've got basically got some pretty boring raw footage. Granted, the synopsis gives it more purpose, and I love Erik Satie... but slo mo and steadicam are luxurious tools I know I would use differently; to help visualise a story, or more poignant message.
Jordy 11 months ago

I agree Luke, people need to really say what they feel about these videos or no one is going to improve their skills. Just cause they are posted on these channel's doesn't mean they are good.

Hot Fuss Films 11 months ago

Excellent photography and pacing! Great concept. I've always been extremely fond of the SE corner of W34th ST and 8th Ave because of the Empire State Bldg that greets you as you ascend from the subway. And you guys even cued pigeons for the shot...fantastic!

TERRY JOHNSON 4 months ago

Beautiful music and images. Very civilized. That slo-mo approach creates a nice romantic fantasy 'cause there's nothing calm and slo-mo about emerging from a NYC subway. Doesn't really capture the true essence but I'm assuming that's not what they were trying to do.
