Beauty of Chicago: Fragmentary Moments June to Oct. 2024 | Urban Videography
A compilation of the footages I filmed while I walked in Chicago, from June to October 2024, covering three seasons-spring, summer and fall. I consider that the footages fall into the visual art genre of urban videography.
Buildings, bridges, streets, etc. I love walking and relishing Chicago, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has vitality, it has serenity. But I am more drawn to the serene aspect of it.
The beauty of Chicago is multifarious and infinite. But these fragmentary moments should be able to present a glimpse of how beautiful it is.
The following is the list of the footages:

Chicago by Red & Black | City Character of a World’s Most Beautiful City
Переглядів 11616 годин тому
In 2024, I spent over three months, on and off, walking around Chicago and filming its city elements including buildings, bridges, awnings, rooftop water tanks, etc. I chose them due to their colors-either red or black. I don’t remember how the idea of expressing the beauty of Chicago in red and black came to me. Maybe these two colors were too visually striking to be ignored, or maybe these tw...

North Michigan Avenue, or specifically Magnificent Mile, of downtown Chicago, exhibited singular charm in this beautiful autumn afternoon of late October 2024.

So delightful! Like always, I was attra...

Sometimes when I walk in Chicago, I have the impulse of filming the city. Chicago’s beauty is multifarious and infinite. I don’t want to let the serendipitous beauty slip. It has cacophonies, it has serenities. But I always lean toward the serene aspect of the city. This video is a compilation of the footages I filmed haphazardly while walking in Chicago in July, August and September 2024. It i...

    What a creative and clever way to present the beauty of Chicago. I love the idea of contrasting colors to show off one of the great cities in the world. Red & Black is such an awesome lense through which to view Chicago. I especially love the fire escapes, as it is a classic element. Awesome video! One of the best!

    Love your thoughtful, photographic perspective. So many of these walking tours are just straight ahead hikes and not focusing on what is around the camera. One site you walked by that you missed is the Chase bank plaza on Clark which is a massive sunken plaza with a huge Chagall four sided mosaic that tourists tend to miss nowadays. Also like how you focused on parts of the city that are off the beaten “Bean” track.

      I’m very happy to receive such a quality comment from someone who understands my work and is familiar with the city. Your comment is one of the best I have ever received. I’ve been trying to make my videos works of arts, not just showing the beautiful city. I like the plaza you mentioned. I have some videos that include Chase Tower, but probably not the whole site. Sometimes I miss some interesting things along my way probably because I thought I was too familiar with them. But maybe I should pay more attention to these things in the future. They might give me new impressions and also be interesting to my audience. In addition to popular places in Chicago, I also like exploring less trekked areas.
