i love this, beautifully shot and beautifully edted...you two are quite a team! big thumbs up on the music too
⾺ Dan Huston 7 months ago

Paul took my footage and created this beautiful thing - it's really 99% him - I enjoyed this process more than anything I have done in a very long time - I am so happy you liked it!! Paul was wonderful to work with - very generous artist and great guy ....
Paul Davis 7 months ago

Thanks Dan. Lots of fun putting together this video. =D
Maria Bowskill 7 months ago

Guys that was wonderful, I really enjoyed that a great deal. Dan I like how you filmed people just going about their day to day toil, I'd prob get popped in the chops if I done that here, would have to be real sneaky about it. Paul I like how you stitched it all together, very nice work guys it was worth the wait, even though you are a pair of teases. x
evanoah sea☆ 7 months ago

maria - i run into problems shooting from time to time. a guy actually threatened to take my camera from me once. i've found if i just explain what i'm doing and my "artistic goal", people relax. it doesn't always work, but most of the time it's effortless really. as long as they don't think they'll end up on youtube in some compromising video, they're generally fine.
Paul Davis 7 months ago

HAHA, Maria. Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. =)
⾺ Dan Huston 7 months ago

hehe - I just pretend to be a redneck tourist if somebody gives me a hassle...hehe!
Maria Bowskill 7 months ago

lol@Dan I should do that. I really should start filming random people, cause they are so fascinating each and every one of them
Paul Holman 7 months ago

Very nice gentlemen. Nice shooting and nice editing.
Interesting that you came up with doing it this way.
Well done !
Paul Davis 7 months ago

Thanks Paul. Dan got me some great video. We talked about how unmotivated we were and decided to collab.
⾺ Dan Huston 7 months ago

Thanks - I had a blast doing this with Paul.
Henry Selvey 7 months ago

Very nice, you guys! Just a cross section of New York and a really good one at that! I lived on Manhattan 8 years and you got it! Never did identify your bridge - I guess it was on the East River ("my" bridge was the G Wash). The music, unfortunately did not get to me - not a criticism - my problem, not yours.
Paul Davis 7 months ago

One of these days, I'm going to find a song you like. =D
⾺ Dan Huston 7 months ago

Perhaps Henry should pick some music and we'll set a vid to it - hehe!

Seriously, thanks Henry - glad you liked it.
rickflick 7 months ago

Well done. A great view of the city.
Paul Davis 7 months ago

Thanks, Rick.
►Alex Leahu◄ 7 months ago

I like the footage that Dan took and I like how Paul edited it, you must like to see your footage be taken and put together and to just wait and see the final surprise. By the way the music was nice.
Paul Davis 7 months ago

This was a video created by too people who really needed a spark to get us motivated. I was listening to the song one day and, thought, I can't get any video of New York, I live in VA. Then - biiing - a light bulb came on and I got in touch with Dan. He really got me some great video! =D
⾺ Dan Huston 7 months ago

Thanks Alex - I love what Paul did with the stuff I shot. AND he took quite a few mediocre shots and gave them some magic.
Jason Scheetz 7 months ago

Paul,

Your work is consistently excellent. I admire your editing and how it works with your musical choices.

Envious,

Jason
Paul Davis 7 months ago

Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Jason. But, honestly, I feel at the bottom of the heap here on Vimeo when it comes to being a good editor. I just keep practicing. =D
evanoah sea☆ 7 months ago

=) YEAHHH congratulations guys! i found it wonderful also. the interweaving of sights and sound, the overlays of human emotion, the colors and architecture, all came together in such a beautiful way. really nice editing paul. great camera work dan. (for a moment i thought it was you singing - dan's voice is so similar in places). thank you for sharing this!
Paul Davis 7 months ago

Hey, there you go. Let's get Dan to sing for another collab video. =D
⾺ Dan Huston 7 months ago

thank you EV and thank you boys but...NO SINGING EVER (picture that with the sound of Joan Crawford saying no wire hangers ever!!!)..hahaha!
evanoah sea☆ 7 months ago

dan, would you do some susan boyle for us? funny you mention joan, i just threw wire hangers out saturday. they sneak in when i go shopping i guess. dunno. anyway, joan is the author one of my all-time fave quotes "i've always known what i wanted, and that was beauty... in every form".
Paul Davis 7 months ago

I'm am so done with Susan Boyle. If I see one more video in the spotlight's section of youtubel. I'm going to puke!
⾺ Dan Huston 7 months ago

"beauty in every form"...that's what it's all about and a desire all should have in whatever capacity...

I didn't know that quote - thanks for sharing that....

Claudia Robinson 7 months ago

i really enjoyed this. the 2 of you make a great team. was wondering, i know with photography we need to get model releases, is video different?
really beautiful work from both of you. can't wait till the next one!
⾺ Dan Huston 7 months ago

Thanks so much Claudia! I wonder if Paul can answer your question - I'm afraid I can't.
Paul Davis 7 months ago

It was shot with a personal video camera. So, a release is not needed in a public arena unless specifically requested. However, if this was done professionally for a commercial project, then more than likely - yes - depending on the event.

The press is different. There are actual laws regarding the freedom of press that allow the media to shoot video as they are documenting an event. However, the press usually needs releases from parents when shooting video of children. Some media may blur child content, depending on the news station and the depth of their legal department.
Alejandro Portela 7 months ago

Paul Davis 7 months ago

Never been there....and, yes....ME TOO!

Great. Very evocative, beautiful images and the music worked well together. My brother lives downtown NYC and it brought me closer to him somehow, thanks. You should go and check him out Dan, he plays acoustic guitar at Rockwood bar. Check out his myspace site, James Maddock. Thanks for a great film.
