Lovely, Phil. You're almost creating your own little genre with these. Keep it up.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

thanks tom. Keeps me away from the night timelapses too! ;-)
Tom Lowe 2 years ago

The other day I was talking to a producer and I was like, "And then we could add some Philip-Bloom-style shots around the city..." and he was like, "Yeah!" ;)

Didn't even need to explain any further.
Matt White 2 years ago

Ha ha ha I have heard that/said that myself.
Justin Ho 2 years ago

Same here.
jehu Garcia 2 years ago

Yup, said that myself also. When you doing LA's people?
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

saturday maybe or Sunday? Going to do lookalikes near manns chinese theatres. coming?
John N. Miller 2 years ago

YES! A Lookalikes one would be AWESOME!
Cristina Cillero 2 years ago

Well, Tom. Philip's personal style is worldwide famous now, but... you don't even need a last name. Only three letters. T-O-M.

Someone says it and we all smile like "Yes, Tom. That guy... ...oh, yeeeah"

Tom Guilmette?

Very nice series Philip ! If you ever want to do a "Maui's People" you know who to call.. I'll be your personal chauffeur if you share some of those cam skills with me !, Well done.

Fantastic!

This is great Phil. Great job.
Can't wait for Philadelphia's People ;)
Tom Lowe 2 years ago

BTW I think I spotted Conner in there... ;)
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

Yeah, didn't realise it was him. He had a sign up saying "Will do anything for a dollar". Kidding Jon! ;-)

No cameo from me,just from Jon.
Cristina Valdivieso + Jon Connor 2 years ago

You don't have to say kidding... It was me holding the sign that said that!
Terrence Randell 2 years ago

Another beauty Philip!
julian davies 2 years ago

I live in Kensington London but used to live in San Francisco for 6 years in the 80's. You have captured the mood and the sheer desperation of the poor there, it is very touching. Your best in the series so far I think.
Dale Kamp 2 years ago

I love watching these. Thanks Philip. Looks great.
Dale Kamp 2 years ago

As a note, Philip you have turned your "People" series into a genre. I've run into quite a few tributes in other filmmaker's respective hometowns and cities here on Vimeo.

Maybe I'll make one for Las Vegas (although you do have a short for Vegas I believe).
David Aldrich 2 years ago

Beautiful. I am really enjoying your "____'s People" Series Philip!
Joe Shaw 2 years ago

The shot from the tram makes the whole film. Reminds me a bit of your shot from the cable car. Really nice.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

Cheers Joe!
Chris Beaumont 2 years ago

Lovely video. Reminds me of just what a grotty place San Francisco is.
renan ozturk 2 years ago

yeah, i really dig the trolley shot at 2:12!!
z luye 2 years ago

Nice work. The trolley shot was incredible. I had to use a monopod when shooting Columbia's People -- you are a much better man than I for your balance skills.
Hodaka Kajita 2 years ago

Love the shot at 02:08, and 03:05 made me wet my pants.
Jonathan Lopez 1 year ago

hahaha, yeah, very classic.

My friend was in Chicago, a homeless guy got on and said, "I need money, and don't give me none of those small change, just 50's and 100$." At least he was original.
bliss* productions 2 years ago

i too wet my pants with that trolley shot. beautiful work yet again mr. bloom.

Mr. Bloom, yet another time a video that is so awesome that I have to watch it twice.

Thanks Jonas

thanks Sean!

How long does it take to conform your footage to 24p, for say 30 minutes of 1080p footage? Do you then have to transcode to ProRes after, or can you take care of the 24p and ProRes conversion all at the same time?
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

I conformed not converted. Cinema tools does it in seconds. I changes the header to 24p so plays longer. You can conform the h264 but i dont recommend it as you then lose the original speed rushes. There is a tutorial on my site about conforming.
Eric Giovon 2 years ago

Where can I find it in your blog? Thx.
Kristijan Matas 2 years ago

Wow, I cought myself in a cinema movie kind of concentration while I watched this. Really lovely. Congratulations for excellent work.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

thanks very much!
Benjamin Buettner 2 years ago

will there come up a report of how u did it? Would be really interesting, what asa u shot with and how the amount of given light was to make a conclusion to the 1dmk4.
stunning images by the way. really impressed. watched 5 times until now..
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

My blog gives info. ASA was 1600 to 3200 (for two shots like the end guy)

Looking forward to trying 1dmkIV at some point.
Cristi Olariu 2 years ago

Very interesting, it brings a special mood.
By the way, what event was happening at 2.57? I see a camera person with a camcorder and a DSLR - is that a wedding? I couldn't imagine that "the orchestra-man" (as we call those videographers who do the photographer too, in Romania) exists in the States too. Still, I may be wrong about that person.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

a wedding I think. i just walked past posh hotel. Yeah ridiculous guy was doing two at once!
Emrys Roberts 2 years ago

That was awesome Phil. Loved the Gate timelapse as well. San Francisco is definitely one of my favorite cities in the world. :)
WakeGirls.com 2 years ago

Every time I see the footage you get with the 5DmkII makes we want one more and more. I really enjoy watching your "People" segments. Your work is always so inspirational.
Tony D 2 years ago

Very Nice Philip. This is my favorite of the people series so far. That 5d image just looks so amazing. My 7d is almost there but just short on IQ
Rcom Creative 2 years ago

Even with the number of homeless people in SF, it's clearly one of the greatest cities in the U.S. It's Manhattan West! Your lens captures the reality. Your choice of music helps create a very San Francisco mood. Fantastic.
Soji Ogunnaike 2 years ago

I know this may sound cheesy but if I were to do something like this in my hood - Lagos, Nigeria, won't I need lights? Our streets are not exactly lit up.
Marcelo Paiva 2 years ago

You are the now artist for me.
Congratulations!
Make Some Tea 2 years ago

I admire how you manage to approach people so up close although I discovered this myself when shooting couple of live events. It's really easy to deceive ppl with a DSLR in your hands. They act completely different to when you use a camcorder. 5d2/7d really have charms like no other devices. Good work, Philip.

Truly great visuals. Which brings me to sound... How best to capture sound with this camera?

Joe Trimmer 2 years ago

Very well done! I assume this was all handheld (or mostly)? you've now motivated me to capture my city (Atlanta or ATL as it is famously known by)! There are a lot of things to go get down here in the Dirty South!

Any advice? :)
Tony M. 2 years ago

LOL at 3:05!
Ben Gillin 2 years ago

This is great! I truly enjoyed it! This reminds me a lot of this video: vimeo.com/5926855 by Donald Kilgore. He also used a Canon 5d MkII on his. :)

Great video, but the music is all wrong - it says new york rather than SF.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

it was something i wrestled with but I felt comfortable with it in the end.
Alvin Nyemah 2 years ago

Tight video, think I'm gonna hit the streets of Philadelphia and try something like this, thanks for the inspiration. Oh, do you live anywhere near Aldershot? well, you might get some good shots from there.

Thanks Jacob
Asociación Espacio Rojo 2 years ago

nicely shot, smooth and tender towards people and the city which it rarely happens. I didn´t like some cuts how they were put together without waiting for the movement to come or go. However, this is my first film i watch of you and, is a good piece of filming. Well done!
