Who does not like looking out of the window while being in a bus?

Everything is shot handheld with an hd camera and a DIY 35mm adapter while sitting in one of those red vehicles of London.

The music used is by Ratatat and is called "Loud Pipes", you can get it here if you like:
amazon.com/Loud-Pipes/dp/B000SFOJNG

Thanks to Angela, my delightful girlfriend, for the support!

Felipe Obando 5 months ago

Thanks to the travel around London. I like that you look much the platform (walk street) and few people take time to see the place that they trample. I like too how you show us a simple London and how you transfomer this metropoli in a singular place where the time is frozen.
rondo babka 5 months ago

Utterly brilliant.

A beautifully, tenderly composed film; a lovely, flowing and true account of London in all its cosmopolitan wonder.

I can barely bring myself to watch my own videos after that.
moritz oberholzer 5 months ago

just watched one of your videos (the new york one)...it`s full of energy, absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!

This video shows that any city has a beating heart inside. Good edition and better music. It's nice work!

Remarkably simple, yet totally captivating. Love the shot of the boy on his knees as well as the blind men. Incredible.
moritz oberholzer 5 months ago

Thanks! Sometimes you catch just the perfect moment, but for each shot that worked, there are at least 100 interesting situations that I didn`t get the right way on camera...=)

Which camera were you using?
moritz oberholzer 5 months ago

As much we all love the 5D MK II, I think it is great that you did not use it for this shoot. You shot mainly with a great depth of field, under daylight and everything in slow motion. According to that no DSLR would have provided beneficial help. And on top you did not run into nasty jello and rolling shutter artifacts while being on the moving bus.

Therefore (maybe to many people's surprise) top choice of camera equipment. And, as everyone else said: stunning imagery.

Clip of the day!
Sean Conaty 5 months ago

so well said.
Marco Espirito Santo 5 months ago

Very very cool. Great editing, and great photojournalistic moments captured. Love the last shot with the pigeon and the word "poultry" on the wall, I saw it almost as a social comment on the streets of London, hahaha...

James 5 months ago

So well edited! Its amazing how you told a story by pulling all the similarities of peoples actions together and using the music to highlight the differences in behaviour. I like the way even though you were in a bus it still felt like the viewer was often down in the crowd with the action.
