Lovely, Phil. You're almost creating your own little genre with these. Keep it up.
Philip Bloom 25 days ago

thanks tom. Keeps me away from the night timelapses too! ;-)
Tom @ Timescapes 24 days 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 24 days ago

Ha ha ha I have heard that/said that myself.
Justin Ho 24 days ago

Same here.
jehu Garcia 24 days ago

Yup, said that myself also. When you doing LA's people?
Philip Bloom 23 days ago

saturday maybe or Sunday? Going to do lookalikes near manns chinese theatres. coming?
John N. Miller 23 days ago

YES! A Lookalikes one would be AWESOME!
Cristina Cillero 23 days 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"
Philip Bloom 5 days ago

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.
Evan H. Senn 26 days ago

Fantastic!
Cristina Valdivieso + Jon Connor 26 days ago

This is great Phil. Great job.
Can't wait for Philadelphia's People ;)
Tom @ Timescapes 26 days ago

BTW I think I spotted Conner in there... ;)
Philip Bloom 26 days 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 26 days ago

You don't have to say kidding... It was me holding the sign that said that!
Terrence Randell 26 days ago

Another beauty Philip!
julian davies 26 days 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.
Miles Crew 26 days ago

I'd love to do something like this in my own city. Question: when you shoot something like this just for fun, do you have to get everyone to sign a release form? :)
Philip Bloom 26 days ago

Nope. I just ask them. For the wides. I am not focusing on any one character.
Dale Kamp 26 days ago

I love watching these. Thanks Philip. Looks great.
Dale Kamp 26 days 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 26 days ago

Beautiful. I am really enjoying your "____'s People" Series Philip!
Joe Shaw 26 days 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 26 days ago

Cheers Joe!
Chris Beaumont 26 days ago

Lovely video. Reminds me of just what a grotty place San Francisco is.
renan ozturk 26 days ago

yeah, i really dig the trolley shot at 2:12!!
Zack Luye 26 days 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 26 days ago

Great tribute to my home town.
olaf h. ☞ nadu 26 days ago

this is great!_ _! luv it,
one of the top 5 in my low light channel.

Euan Preston 26 days ago

Love the shot at 02:08, and 03:05 made me wet my pants.
bliss productions 26 days ago

i too wet my pants with that trolley shot. beautiful work yet again mr. bloom.
Zack 26 days ago

Don't be a camera pest!

5DmkII with 50mm F1.2 and Zacuto Z-Finder
Jonas Gebhardt 26 days ago

Mr. Bloom, yet another time a video that is so awesome that I have to watch it twice.
Philip Bloom 26 days ago

Thanks Jonas
Sean Duran 26 days ago

Best one in the series so far. Love that trolley shot.
Philip Bloom 26 days ago

thanks Sean!
Drew Maw 26 days ago

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 26 days 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 16 days ago

Where can I find it in your blog? Thx.
Kristijan Matas 26 days ago

Wow, I cought myself in a cinema movie kind of concentration while I watched this. Really lovely. Congratulations for excellent work.
Philip Bloom 26 days ago

thanks very much!
Benjamin Büttner 26 days 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 25 days 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 26 days 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 25 days ago

a wedding I think. i just walked past posh hotel. Yeah ridiculous guy was doing two at once!
Emrys Roberts 25 days 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 25 days 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 25 days 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
David & Cameron Barrett 25 days 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 25 days 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 25 days ago

You are the now artist for me.
Congratulations!
Make Some Tea 25 days 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.
Blake Whitman 25 days ago

love the shot in the trolley.
Karol Kozioł 25 days ago

amazing!
HD-Filmz 25 days ago

Truly great visuals. Which brings me to sound... How best to capture sound with this camera?
Ben Gillin 25 days ago

Here is a great post over at donaldkilgore.com about audio on the Canon 5d MKII: donaldkilgore.com/blog/2009/6/26/audio-and-the-canon-5d-mark-ii.html
Joe Trimmer 25 days 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. 25 days ago

LOL at 3:05!
Ben Gillin 25 days 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. :)
Michael Su 25 days ago

Aziz K. 25 days ago

Man, SF is the best city ever. This video just reminded me how much i miss it :(
Philip Bloom 24 days ago

very visual city. I could do a lot more there.
Kenny Mosher 25 days ago

Once again, excellent quality and excellent music selection.
Philip Bloom 24 days ago

Appreciate it Kenny!
Suzanne Naomi 25 days ago

haha, f*** you, give me a dollar! Like the vid.
Rusty Rogers 18 days ago

Did Phil give him a dollar?
:~)
manpikin 25 days ago

Great video, but the music is all wrong - it says new york rather than SF.
Philip Bloom 25 days ago

it was something i wrestled with but I felt comfortable with it in the end.
Alvin 25 days 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.
Philip Bloom 24 days ago

send me results. Love to see...

Jacob Izrael of 39 Lashes Films 25 days ago

Yo Philip you make this look so easy. I want to be just like you when I grow up. I'm working on getting either the 7D or Lumix GH-1. Good stuff Mr. Bloom good stuff!
Philip Bloom 24 days ago

Thanks Jacob
Asociación Espacio Rojo 25 days 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!
Philip Bloom 24 days ago

thanks for taking the time to comment!
