Great video. I can imagine exploring the city. I love the spinning with the camera at 2:15 it was very dreamy. I loved seeing the real life people just walking around they could be like character in a film or TV show. Especially the shouty guy. Please keep being inspired with your camera.
Thank you for your wonderful comment and feedback. It fills my heart with joy that you dig my dreamy camera spin at 2:15. The first of hundreds of times that I've viewed Claude Lelouch's Un homme et une femme, the camera spin sparked my awareness of the word "bliss." Racecar Jean-Louis Duroc has just driven all the way north to Normandy from the Montecarlo Rally without sleeping but shaving his five o'clock shadow several times in his car. He then drives to the Deauville shore and finds his beloved, Anne -- a "script girl" -- and their young children, Antoine and Françoise, enjoying the sunny day. With the widest smile, he flashes his racecar's headlights, drawing the trio's attention. Surprised and overjoyed, they run toward Jean-Louis. He and Anne fervently embrace -- no longer confined to their marital status of "widowed" -- and their reunion hug is filmed with a blissful 360° close-up as Francis Lai's dreamy "dubba-dubba-da" theme song starts to play and the children's excitement mirror their parents' love. Anytime I execute a spin while filming, I'm paying homage to A Man and A Woman. I will adore that film even beyond my existence on earth.💗 As a filmmaker who poetically shines a light on humanity -- including the humanlike mannerisms of Man's feathered friends -- your keen eye regarding the real-life people out and about in Lower Manhattan in this video -- strolling, holding hands, cycling, laughing -- reaffirms my love of observation. And yes, "the shouty guy" too is part of New York City's authentic tapestry of the haves and have-nots, of the mindful and mentally challenged, of dreamers and fatalists, of saints and sinners. In a way, "Urban ASMR: NYC Edition is my visual love letter to my hometown." I was born on the island of Manhattan and attained my first dream of launching and enjoying a lucrative career there. As sure as the Statue of Liberty holds her torch high in New York Harbor, I promise to continue being inspired with my camera.📸 🎞I Also, I'll stop the procrastination in learning how to shoot with my Canon. Lastly, I'm giving serious thought to your suggestion💡of reciting an original poem via voice-over to my latest riverside promenade video (or a near-future one). Somewhat like Dalí's dream sequence in Hitchcock's Spellbound, the doors to realms of creative possibilities endlessly open as long as our imaginations are willing to go the distance.♾️ Much gratitude, John. 😊
@ninfilms Thank you.😊 I need to muster more courage and to carve out the time. I will do it. When you mentioned the voice-over, my mind went to Princesse Grace de Monaco, who loved nature, enjoyed the hobby of pressed flowers, recited poetry and -- late in life -- narrated film documentaries.
