Fun NYC Piece

New York from Cristina Valdivieso + Jon Connor on Vimeo.

 

There is some amazing footage in this piece, my fav stuff is the transitions between real time and time lapse. I'd love to know over how many days this was shot. The opening time lapse shot leads you to believe we took a drive into the city one day and this is what we shot. I'm pretty sure that is not the case, buts is great none the less.

Listen people... it's not SCHWAG... its SWAG...

I don't know who started this but it is really annoying me.  In recent years, and by recent I mean, in the past 15 years or so, the term "swag" has become a pop meme that even soccer moms have embraced, understood and to a certain extent 'sought after'. After all SWAG, or as many say schwag, means... 'free stuff you get as a perk or a give-away, usually at a conference or event. A free t-shirt, a tote bag, a stupid pen with a company logo on it, that kind of stuff.

Well, there is NO "CH" in SWAG... its S - W - A - G. You know why i know this... because SWAG means "Sh*t We All Got". Some will tell you it has roots in pirates booty and I don't know if that is true but it is NOT spelled SCHWAG... and not pronounced with the "CH" sound... 

It's SWAG... S - W - A - G...

Got it?  Good, we can put that to rest now.

Zoo Station @ The Little Fox - Where the Streets Have No Name

I finished this this evening with some help of a better audio track supplied by the band... you MUST go see them at the Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco on November 20th... Great band, great time.

John King shot the second Canon 5D MK2 with me...
