Description:
I had a chance to go visit one of the greatest cities this summer. Right when I got of the plane and arrived downtown New York, I took my camera and strolled out through the busy streets of New York City. I wanted to capture the great culture and street aesthetic of New York and I think it turned out really well. The video includes recordings from both Manhattan and Brooklyn, where I spend hours capturing the culture and everyday life of native New Yorkers.

Title: The Street Aesthetic of New York City
Filmed and Edited by: Christian Andersen
Shot with: Canon EOS 550D
Music: The XX - Intro

Christian, I am amazed by the ability you have to capture the most beautiful parts of the city. Not many GET IT, but you GET NYC. You have a gift not only for visual arts, but also for the ability to understand your subject (NYC). Thank you for sharing this with us all.

Great video my friend, love it, it's SOOO what I wanna do, fly over to NYC and just run around the streets filming. Can I ask if you used any particular equipment, like a tripod/shoulder rig/glidecam or something? Im asking because I can't haul all the stuff there if I ever visit NYC.

Cheers

very nice! some positive criticism, there are a couple of scenes here where the hue seems a bit too contrasty, such as the gravel in the park shot. but besides that some scenes look really nice!

this is so good. seriously. when people ask me about what a dslr is capable of in terms of movie making - this is the video i link them to, not without mentioning that it's not only the dslr, but much more the camera work and the editing that make a clip as beautiful as this one. keep it up!
