How did you like the homeless in the City?
Another great film Mr Bloom. I see that street beggar has adpoted the UK banks arranged overdraft charging policy.
Nice work!
My favorite shot is from within the trolley looking out the back.
The guy with the sign asking for a dollar certainly had a unique sales pitch.
Loved it.
cheers Shane
I liked the reveal of the police tape and the flashing lights across the police sign. I think the Taxi Driver score has become synonymous with the ‘American City’ at night. ‘I just wanna work long hours, what’s moonlighting?’.
1:30 she looks like she was ready to burst into tears!
Hi ! so, another great film.
Why not try with a 35mm lens philip ?
Terrific video, the 5D image with the magical 85mm 1.2 is just beautiful. Now that the new firmware is on it’s way as well it really is the Return of the King.
Phillip,
Most certainly, your best piece (that I’ve watched). Wonderful feel for the souls of the people of the street. Beautiful handheld camera and a great close rapport with your subjects. It would be great if you’d put down your thoughts on approaching and shooting your average Joe on the street.
Love the way the highlights blow-out in a low light situation.
Thanks for sharing it.
Also, I have to mention, Gloria Shane is heart breaking. I can see her as when she was a luminous twenty. Aging is Hell.
Did you use the tactical shooter? for this………….

Quick question… What’s your position on using a copyrighted soundtrack such as this? I only ask because I am producing my first mulitmedia piece using video/music, and am considering what music tracks to use. Am also struggling to find anything decent royalty-free.
Hey Phil
really lovely as usual.
Just wanted to ask if the aliasing I see is in the native images or just on the rescaled ones for streaming on the web.
I find it odd with many of these dslr videos when i gut lulled into watching beatiful filmic shots full of lush bokeh and then being jolted into video land with some electronic nastiness! My brain sort of goes yes no yes no yes no! its just a really weird combination of a film and video feel. I actually find it really frustrating that it looks so good and so bad at the same time when watching these.
Love it.
If you deploying it on the Web only, I really don’t see any sense in converting more fluid but still cinematic 30p into 24p. In fact, I like 30p better than 24p. Ability to shoot in 30p is actually a blessing, not a curse.
Beautiful work, again!
I love the way you capture the atmosphere and how the framed people become hypnotic moving portraits…
You’re an inspiration, my sir!
[...] me. Rick, Mike and I also watched some of my other work on the big screen. “Venice’s People”, “San Francisco’s People”, “Cherry Blossom Girl” and “Sofia’s People”. They all looked incredibly good on the big [...]
