A Year in New York
3 months ago
Living in New York I'd grab my Canon 7D, or S95, and shoot footage of what was going on around me. It seemed like a never ending project and you could stay filming life in New York for a long time. But eventually I put my camera down and started to edit. Here's the end result, it's a bit rough and ready but that's life in the Big Apple I guess.
Turn up the volume or put your in earphones for the beautiful song 'We Don't Eat' by Irishman James Vincent McMorrow.
Update: The video has gotten an amazing response though people have rightly asked where is the footage of other aspects of New York life like the Yankees or certain neighborhoods and parts of the city.
I think I should've called it My Year in New York! I couldn't feature every part of the New York story, just the parts I experienced while I had my camera. If it's not in the video it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it!
For those who asked these are the lens I used:
Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DG RF

love nyc
Thanks for sharing.
:)
Hahaha
After watching this, i had a second thought, it makes me feel like i never wanted to live this city.
Thanks for your awesome work :D
Excellent Excellent Video, i love it!!
Going to link it on my blog. :)
I was expecting more diverse scenes though. There are many of them that show up repetitively. From the title of this work, one wouldn't expect it.
Still, truly inspiring. Thank you
Great work, well done.
I tried to do something similar recently after spending one day in Bruges. If you have time please take a look
