    I 'liked' this though a more accurate button might have been 'mark as compelling and well made but more than a little distressing'. Get on the ball Vimeo!

    Excellent! Do agree though with the post above. The ending has no purpose within such a beautiful statement.

    The end kind of ruined it. It was gorgeous until then though.

    wow, I bet that was an experience. Loved the expressions of the people and the shutter bugs and the little confused kids.
    I bet it was freezing!

    great video, could have been worked out a little more, and the bus was pretty unnecessary

    Liked it much. Loved the peoples reactions but:

    I hope the pixels are because of Vimeo Terms
    and not because of shame!
    I know things are different in the states but come on!

    The Bus thing is soo 2008 ;)

    love it, the ending is great, loved it was totally not expecting that, so amazing...
    Anyone any idea how this was shot? it seems one take and are the cops real cops or is it staged?
    So curious how this was done...
  •  
  • Jens Wiese 2 years ago
    I dont think that "real" NYPD Cops will let you escape. So it was staged.
  •

    People know staring makes it more awkward, but not staring makes it almost as awkward. So what to do???

  • Breezy Granzow 2 years ago
    The very start I was already thinking that this was going to be awesome and the whole time I'm just like whaat? very well done. And I do have to know, were the cops real?

    Congrats. While I'm sure you tried to make a statement I didn't hear a damn word. So congrats on forever being those two naked people in NY who got hit by a bus and I think might be a mac commercial song. :)

    great vid, more then a music vid, you don't need those pixels, only if vimeo demands them, do they? Definitely a 2007 ending, possibly even 2006...
