A short montage from my first night underground in NYC's subway tunnels with Steve from Undercity.org

Shot on a canon 5d mkii with canon 24 f/1.4 (version 1) with the zacuto rapid fire. The zacuto was really great at being there when I needed it but also staying out of the way.

Unmixed and not color corrected

The video was also featured in Steve Weiss's Zacuto blog. Check it out here:

    That grainy green tint of the video in the subway was all the more alarming and forbidden. Funny how the orange tint of the city lights fit the relief of being back above ground.
    Really cool stuff.

    Very nice piece. Music works well and off course having the consummate professional, Mr.Undercity, helps some too :P I'm not a video guy so know nothing of the terminology, but the instances of focus shifting in and out are very effective. Nom.

    Dangerous stuff, but the thrill and the observation are always worth it. Back when I was in High School, I once found an old sewer in LI that I ventured into with some friends, reminded me of this. The bridge shot, was really amazing- great work!

    The video feats are incredible
    Amazing in itself.
    However, the video should be titled:
    "How easy Terrorism could be in America."
    The fact that you were able to get into places that easy is astounding and scary.
