I've been shooting in and around my neighborhood Times Square for a little over 3 years for a unnamed project... This footage is the first stuff I've shot for this project using the HV20..I'm gonna bring all this footage together one day and create something ...I think...

    Wow, you go to Times Square and it's hard not to only see the "Disney" aspect of it now-a-days....
    You did a real nice job of showing the other side of it, still hanging on from the old days.

    I'm gonna go watch Taxi Driver now...it's been a while.

    Yeah..the side streets around times square are still very grimey..but nothing like it was in the 80's when i was running around as a teen!!

    pretty cool ! , I miss NY , was that you going into the Peep Show? lol,

    What Settings did you use? Did you do the exposure lock trick ? didnt look like there was much gain added
  • Carl Weston plus 2 years ago
    No lock exposure trick on this shoot..There was just enough light to keep the gain noise low..The camera was in shutter priority mode, 1/48, manual exposure, 24p pulldown done in TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress

    Bernard Herrmann's final score. What a mood establisher!

    Very cool footage of NYC. Very raw and straight up, I've never been to New York, but this is how I imagine it to be.

    I really like your video. Its nice to see the city from a rather lurid perspective. Even if it is I was endlessly fascinated and I have some Ideas. I am doing the same thing for The Tenderloin in SF. I am documenting the side that the tourists dont see. The "Hidden SF". Know what I mean?
  • Carl Weston plus 2 years ago
    Sounds good..I love SF, I haven't been out there since 93..Hope to get out there this year.. I hope to your clip soon..

    That was amazing! I just visited NYC about a month ago for the first time, I love it there! I want to live there so bad! I brought my HV30 wit me and all I do is edit, but I should get some clips up there soon. I was just thinkin how great your shots would like with some high contrast B&W! Or maybe a color pass with the taxi shot!
