Big Screen » New York, I almost forgot. I ♥ you.
With so much to tackle every day and to-do lists littering my digital and analog organizers, it’s easy to forget what a spectacular city I live in. Lucky for me, while browsing FreeWilliamsburg.com, I came across Sam O’Hare’s breathtaking time-lapse tilt shift video “The Sandpit”. The spectacular montage is full of those in-between Big Apple moments that lift NYC to the top of the metropolis crop. One of the fascinating aspects of the film is how elegantly pedestrians and cars dance around each other – and just how much foot-traffic we have here! The clips of our harbors and quays feel like they carry centuries of the city’s past with each lapping wave and bobbing sailboat. Quiet moments of our parks and rooftop gardens are contrasted by busy little Caterpillar trucks and forklifts that seem to predict a robotic future we’re headed towards. Be sure to check out the Q&A with the director (represented by Aéro Film) AeroFilm.com! And if you’re a total time-lapse tilt shift junkie, swing over to our NYC Marathon post for more!
