Koyaaniskottke

Looking west down 42nd Street. Taken with the pocket-sized Kodak Zi-6 from Park Avenue, the part that's elevated and goes around Grand Central. Music by Philip Glass from Koyaanisqatsi. It's amazing how good Glass' music is that some schlub can take a video of a busy Manhattan street using a pocket-sized camera and it comes out feeling like it's a clip from the film. Leitmotif, anyone?

I didn't realize this was more of a DIY New-York-hommage to "Koyaanisqatsi," than a demo of Kodak Zi6's HD-picture quality (John Gruber certainly implied that, and there aren't, as yet, many such around on those intertubes of ours ;-)).
So I tried to determine whether the apparent jerky people movements on the street were perhaps(?) an artefact of your enhancing it with separate sound afterwards, and (could be) mixing up some timecode or something. Because at my end, in 50Hz-power frequency Europe, it clearly looked artificially speeded up by a factor of [60fps/50Hz]=1.2. Glad you cleared that up; wish it was stated explicitly from the beginning THIS IS NOT YAZI6DEMO.
Would filming with a tripod be a problem in NYC?
