HASTILY MADE CLEVELAND TOURISM VIDEO (the tree project.)

[audiolabguy]

Apparently, Cleveland has Seagulls. And Buses. Not a single reference to the payphones, though.

[downwithengland]

Cleveland isn't a real city. They can't keep an NHL franchise.

[fecalophagus]

bishopvids' version is way better.

[fatpak419]

My only complaint of this video is that it appears to try to defend the city from outside cynics at the end. Cleveland is not Chicago. It's a great mix of east and midwest. It's not a tourism mecca and it shouldn't be. It's the 19th largest DMA in the country. I think Cleveland residents have a lot more in common with cities like Portland or Sacramento then large tourist destinations. It's a jewel of the northcoast if you're savvy enough to want to experience it.

[npfranchise1]

@fatpak419 LOL! HOLY SHIT! YOU CAN'T FOOL ME! @fatpak419 is the Cleveland Director Of Tourism! HA HA HA HA! FOR SHAME SIR! FOR SHAAAAAAAAAAME!

[setteguy99]

you spelled till wrong at the end...

[ThatGuyMorganWall]

This is Cleveland in July try the rest of the year and all this proves is that Cleveland is filled with people that wont admit it sucks

[BeefPapa]

i didn't think cleveland was all that bad.....after watching this video now i do

[dgoogs]

Not from Cleveland, but that is a great video with a misleading title trying to ride the coattails of someone else's success.

[heeyla]

nicely made

[Holmes1MN]

from a photographers standard its not that bad just very cliché

[subliminalfunk07]

this video sucks. and i'm from cleveland

[Percent1hundred]

I was wearing my headphones and the music almost gave me a brain hemerroid.

[rorr111]

@Percent1hundred "hemerroid" (hemorrhoid*) or hemorrhage?

[cfwrestler7]

yeah this is terrible as well. cleveland sucks, clean your river you pigs. go steelers.

[snaxnb92]

@cfwrestler7 funny cuz the river burned in like the 40s prick. and ive drove through shitsburg. its a pile of shit. more hillbillys then i ever care to see in my life. were those two rivers meet must be where they stop to shit. right on ketchup stadium. oh and dont forget your rapist quarterback. thats always fun too, rape.

[northofthesun]

WERE NOT DETROIT!!!! :)

[northofthesun]

carry tune to a gay 80's style keyboard tv show theme" WEL-COME TO CLEVELAND TOWN EVERYONE... SEE THE POOR PEOPLE GET ON THE BUSSES...WHO THE FUCK STILL USES A PAYPHONE?!..OUR WHOLE ECONOMY REVOLVES A-ROUND LE-BRON JAMES...UNDER CONSTRUCTION SINCE18 SIXTY-EIGHT...THAT TRAIN IS CARRYING JOBS OUT OF CLEAVELAND..THAT GUY HAS AT LEAST 2 DUI'S!..OUR RIVERS SO POLLUTED CATCHES ON FIRE...ITS SO POLLUTED ALL OUR FISH HAVE AIDS...AT LEAST, WERE NOT DETROIT!!!!!..........WERE NOT DETROIT!"

[snaxnb92]

@northofthesun construction brings jobs. and renovation....



[jakolcoshisbluelow]

nice vid til i seen the Lebum James jersey... CLEVELAND IS BEAUTIFUL

[northofthesun]

@jakolcoshisbluelow at least were not detroit!!!

[Grapes428]

The west side of Cleveland is like night and day compared to the east side. West side is gorgeous, the east side is like an overgrown ghost town with lots of vacant businesses.

[adam75south]

@Grapes428

would you say it's like a "scooby doo ghost town"?

[jdw3443]

Cleveland's not near as bad as most make it out to be. I, for one, love the city, but it's leaders need a good smack in the head. Euclid Avenue is beautiful, won't convince me otherwise. GO VIKES!

[peanut8508]

cleveland rocks!!

[Jaylinkin]

There's alot of poor people that wait for busses.

[slitheringinterstate]

Nice video but....

A city like San Diego/Honolulu/Vancouver/etc takes 1 hour of footage to make it look awesome, and about 20 carefully edited hours to make it look shitty.

Cleveland takes 20 carefully edited hours to make it look cool, and one hour to make it look shitty.

Look dude...you could carefully shoot perfect angles of the 8 nice spots in Detroit on a rare blue day too, and make it seem cool...but Cleveland is a hideous terd of a city and everyone but you knows it.

[snaxnb92]

@slitheringinterstate hahaha its not that bad. obvi its not the most beautiful city. its up north for fucks sake. and comparing cleveland to those citys is retarded. not even close to being the same climate

[mikenimz1]

this video doesnt make want to go to cleveland makes me want to sleep

[SirHolme]

there's that ONE windmill again

it's powering an entire slum! :D

[snaxnb92]

@SirHolme it powers our science center. rock and roll hall of fame and the browns stadium is right there. thats probly one of the nicer parts of cleveland

[CTSBeast]

Very nice video

[PurplePlasticLove]

This was shot with a nice camera.

[CorollaLvr2000]

I will admit you did a good job shedding a positive light on Cleveland, however... having been to Cleveland and having a few friends from there, I'm still unimpressed with the city. Northern Ohio is beautiful in the summer, especially by the lake, but I'll stick with Cincinnati. Our river doesn't catch on fire ;)

[Subzzero93]

@CorollaLvr2000 REALLY that was over 20 years ago!!!!lol

[2141hank]

this video sucks im sorry but cleveland still looks sorry to me

[reevelinda]

Good stuff

[NickJanosky]

Why do most of these vids have disabled comments?

[egghead6625]

GO INDIANS



[johhny3rubs]

what a shat video. was this made for a high school art class?

[d0ubled1amond]

this does not look hastily made

[26Deacon]

well Cleveland get ready to be the next Detroit once Lebron James leaves & come to sweet home Chicago. CHI-CITY BABY!

[jerct]

The video is well done but GOD that song is freaking annoying. Sounds like some kid on his Casio keyboard just repeating the same 6 notes over and over.

[BabylonAGoGo]

nice.

[reemashuko]

Yeah, when you put it like this, Cleveland does look nice. However, I live in Cleveland, and it is nothing special here! :/

Nice vid, though!

[notBMW18]

nice vid! whats the name of the song?

[laceethefileclerk]

What a crock. Cleveland has the most depressing downtown of any city I've visited in the U.S. It's horrendous. What kind of douche thinks he's fooling anyone? Oh, this kind.

[BabylonAGoGo]

@laceethefileclerk

I'm a lesbian who's been told I have the personality of a foul-mouthed dyke and the face of a Swedish model.

ICAN SEE WHAT A DOUCHE BAG YOU REALLY ARE. THIS IS YOU "ABOUT ME". YOU TRULY ARE A SICK AND DEPRAVED PERSON.

"I hate niggers; niglets, females and males. I look forward to the day we can string these monkeys back up or ship them back to the gorilla continent.

I have been known to lap up a Vietnamese or Mexican's pussy once in a while. "

[laceethefileclerk]

@BabylonAGoGo

I guess I'm not on your Christmas card list. At least try and use proper grammar. It's "I can" (two separate words). A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching. Douchebag (one word) or douch is the pejorative term. THIS IS YOU "ABOUT ME" makes no sense.

Then again Cleveland schools are full of niglets which makes them barely better than zoos so your lack of education is understandable.

[TheSimz3LOVER]

Its alright... Just give it a different name like just Cleveland Tourism Video and you'll be good because it doesn't really look hastily made..

[vdven]

I wanted to watch poor people wait for buses

[Leftrightsv420]

not too shabby, good one

[ryanthethird]

You are a rip off artist and this video SUCKS. Watch the original people . . .

[halfahuman]

at least your not detroit

[stardestroyr]

Aw. This makes me all sentimental. I live in Los Angeles and everytime I tell people I like Cleveland they don't understand, thanks to stereotype. You point out some of the finer aspects of the city. Good job.

[BRIANROX1]

whats so bad about Cleveland? i live here and i see nothing wrong. the only people who take about us live somewhere else.

[ktraining]

Everyone of these feel good Cleveland videos that were made after the orginal came out has shown the same five things in Cleveland. What a truely awful place to live. Yuck.

[ktraining]

Hahahahahhaha it still looks awful even with the efforts made by this video.

[stew9703]

OH god i just had to rant on everyone else's Cleveland video, but this one is fantastic, i cant find a complaint about it. You show that Cleveland has some life to it, while others make it look like shit.

[Makojumbi]

Man... taking someone else's video and taking out their music, thus making it not funny or cool... = lame

thumbs this video wayyyy down.

[rolandalonzi]

JonWar83 hangs pout on West 6th street - perfect since he's a douche bag.

[rolandalonzi]

Look up the REAL (and entertaining) HASTILY MADE CLEVELAND TOURISM VIDEO. It's not this piece of crap. Oh yeah and Lebron is coming to the Knicks! Thanks Cleveland for sucking so much!!!

[JimboSlice51]

I just fell asleep

[jonwar83]

Clevelanders are proud and fiercely loyal about where they came from. If you dont like our city then stay the fuck out because you're not welcome in the first place.

[Subzzero93]

@jonwar83 Yeah!!! wat he said!!!!

[jonwar83]

The only difference is that cleveland contractors, architects and businesses have woken up to the fact that the city needs an economic boost as well as bringing back jobs to the area that have been lost. Look no further than the entirely new East and west bank flats project, they've already broken ground and in 2 years it' will be done.

[jonwar83]

I too, love my city no matter how many assholes or media outlets bash it and laugh. Cleveland is not the only midwestern town suffering from millions of jobs lost, outsourcing, and out of control crime rates. Detroit, Erie, Columbus to name a few are cities on the same level or in worse shape(detroit is the worst city in the u.s.) than Cleveland is.

[mroddy0862]

I love my City no matter what people say...

[icebergbart216]

the city doesn't do this video justice!

[kearnej]

good perspective and editing to hide what a shithole this town really is

[wandawilliams1]

awesome video!!

[him89]

I wouldn't exactly call this HASTILY MADE

[DRAGON6708]

cleveland sucks

[kearnej]

nice! but the sun has set on Cleveland.

[smatyac13]

@kearnej ....agreed

[martinaee]

eltoro9.... I think as much racism exists in Cleveland as in pretty much any other part of the U.S.

Stop perpetuating the idea that Cleveland can't improve. There are people and organizations really trying to make things better and people are pushing to get out all the corruption in politics that have plagued Cleveland in past years.

[smatyac13]

@martinaee ...u r a fag....grow up and find something better to do than bitch about ur shitty town...u cant defend cleveland...thank u

[eltoro9]

Doesn't change the fact that its still in OHIO, and Ohio sucks!!!!!!

[eltoro9]

Lets be clear!

Cleveland does NOT rock!

It's in Ohio, a state full of racism and ignorance.

Cleveland will always be know as "The Mistake on the Lake"

Enjoy!

[smatyac13]

@eltoro9 ....we freed the slaves......dumb negro

[eltoro9]

I am not a negro, nor would I use that word, but keep up the good work of your racism and ignorance. Looks like its taking you places .

[club349]

this isnt finny at all

[smatyac13]

@club349 its not a satire u retard...ur from from cleveland

[alegofan0]

@club349 not only was it not funny but its more of a "who the h#@! cares"

[newyorkcat]

I was there once, it looks like a German city. The waterfront should be developed bc the lake is just amazing, I had no idea how nice it was! Most cities would have luxury hi-rises from one end to the other, it's a great waterfront

[MaleckiWorxFilms]

Speaking as an amateur filmmaker, I really like what you have done here! The closest I have ever been to Cleveland is Cedar Point, so I wouldn't know whether or not it really is a wasteland but this is a really well-edited video with some great cinematography. Kudos to you!

[tkirby3679]

I am from Cleveland, these guys managed to find the one day a year when there are some people on the streets, Cleveland is a city of half a million but a complete ghost town.

Please don't try to make Cleveland look good, if your going to do anything, then make it actually good.

[Jackofalltrades16]

they are trying i guess. I am from akron (none better) I hope cleveland has brighter days ahead.

[pablomonkey93]

tkirby3679, you are a fucktard.

[hal1992]

This city still looks like crap... and is crap.

[GerrittD]

Needs more LeBron James.

[Subdepthcam]

I especially love the 0:29-0:38 nearly ten second clip of a stupid bus pulling over and doing its job, followed by it pulling away with the LeBron Cavs ad on the back. Fucking Cleveland. Sure, I'll visit, when I'm ready to DIE.

[hsthompson00]

yeah my ass looks better in HD too

"Come and look at both of our buildings "

I like that clip better lol

[smatyac13]

hahahahahahahaha

[MovieMaker76]

Nice Vid.

[hmmXrawr]

Okay, I currently live in Souther California but I use to live in Cleveland. And When I visited a few years ago I was like "... Where's all the color?"

It was literally grey.

[royhobbs785]

Great video, I'm from Pittsburgh and I know all cities have good and bad.. Pittsburgh is nicer though. Great people in both cities. Aslong as you don't dicuss Browns and Steelers

[RelaxingSin]

the hastily made cleveland video that was made by that comedian with him singing was the tourism video that makes me want to go to cleveland

not this,but nice effort

[Tbone3471]

Nice video, but yes very misleading. This town needs alot of work before we can even consider attracting tourists.

[juliestreenz]

that video was awesome, and it is the way I see Cleveland everyday. Look at the bright side, people. Cleveland has some very beautiful sights. I'm proud to say I live in Cleveland! (and at least we're not Detroit)

[m2pmd70]

Why, that wasn't funny at all.

Except maybe for the way-too-much-stereo-panning in my headphones that made me feel a little queasy.

[smatyac13]

its not suppose to be funny...fucktard

[m2pmd70]

So it's your job to hang out on this comments page and call people names? How fun for you.

I was joking, in reference to the (subjectively) hilarious similarly named videos.

[rossjohn93]

I was waiting for some pictures of East Cleveland. I guess they didn't slow down fast enough to get a good shot.

[Lojikbom]

Did you enhance the color or catch Cleveland on the most beautiful day it's had in 300 years?

[smatyac13]

agreed

\

[EHIORX]

NICE VIDEO.

[TehMark427]

Very misleading, but let me tell you this day was a one in a million chance where the sun was actually out and there wasn't a gang war.

[EHIORX]

All citys have the're good and bad. Cleveland is a nice city. If you live in a place for a while, you'll start to notice things you didn't before. can't focus on all the bad.

[JulianOfViolence]

The times I've visited Cleveland, I've noticed nothing but cracked roads (even though they are ALWAYS working on the roads), homeless people, trash, gunshots, etc. I live pretty much right in between Cleveland and Pittsburgh (south of Youngstown). Visiting Cleveland just makes me think "wow, this is really depressing." When I visit Pittsburgh, I actually think "Wow, this is a really nice city."

[EHIORX]

Your full of shit.

[smatyac13]

shut up...leave nfl outta this...ur city is shit

[EHIORX]

Your a real winner, talking shit to everyone who posted a comment on this video. Hey your 31 time to grow up and get a life.Loser.

[tmanstheman]

come on man I live in cleveland and I been in youngtown so many time because I was born in warren so I have family in youngtown and you are not good tell me Y-town is better then cleveland. It is much smaller people don't have nothing better to do but smoke and warren is even better then you guys. At least you guys have good highschool sports team O no I forgot you guys always get your ass beat by warren G harden

[jamstep0502]

Wow..lived in cleveland for 10 years...flashly lights still don't make it look appealing..nice try though..and we're still not Detroit...haha

[philhoyt]

still didn't make it look appealing at all.

[beneboi2009]

please cleveland is a shit show. way to misrepresent a shitty city. the hastily made ones are better with the song actually showin what cleveland is.

[DalaminVanZemer]

I work in downtown Cleveland almost every day. Its a lot smaller than you might think. And full of panhandlers and people waiting for buses all day.

[akronseanluvsund]

@DalaminVanZemer

I used to live in Akron. I am now in LA. Believe me, Its scary in downtown LA too. Lots of panhandlers everywhere here. On the freeway exits. On the streets. The only thing here the roads are cracked because of earthquakes. I am sure every major city has its bad areas. Gangs are everywhere , So don't think its just Cleveland because its on a bigger scaler here. I am in the suburbs of LA but I hear police helicopters pretty much every nightl

[bubbaclubba22]

Don't go there I got mugged after an Indians game, there are lots of homeless muggers with knives

[handgunhero]

and thats why i carry knuckles there. alomost after eveery show at peabodys or HOB, some random homeless dude come up to me... pisses me off lol

[TheMudFalcon]

The people from Cleveland can spot a douche from miles away.

[badfish42ou]

what you do is awesome

[kramer0419]

Great job,

but man, what a way to misrepresent a city.

still great video.

[jvdthwip]

Wow, that was gorgeous.

[roziray]

This video makes cleveland look beautiful, interesting, and scenic. Great job.

[jimmyjib03]

holy cow...this video was awesome!

[panajohn1]

Great cinematograpy. I liked this one a lot. It deserved to be a winner. You should promote it in other ways now.

[Blackmilitant421]

Nice really nice

[hvyhitter]

wow.. I linked over here from the Positively Cleveland facebook page. I am almost through all the submissions.. yours is by far the best one out there.. Honorable mention? Only.. hmm.. oh well.. great job regardless. maybe they thought your production was to professional. I don't know. I liked it.. i want to visit but I am already here. :) great video. Your tag line at the end is a little weak.. my fave was "Cleveland - Look Up" but hey whatever your video was totally fun to watch. Thanks!

[trevorcain]

oo so nice so down home cleveland. best vid of ctown for sure, i would have liked to of seen some footage from Tinas night club though....

[chick5581]

omg ... that was to funny and completely original haha ...

that was seriously priceless ... i havent luaghed like that in a while .... really funny

[bdeez]

very nice. breezy even

[hypathio7]

Yes, very cool editing and video quality. It really does look like professional stock footage and a commercial ready for TV. However didn't it cost more than $2 to go to the Cavs game and get into the dance club.

[holliewoodby]

Nice! Beautiful video, with obviously a nice lens and filters. It looks like stock footage, so you should be proud...

but this doesn't fit into the "hastily made" category to me.

[11010siteseeker]

so real..energy and excitement. love it!

[ClevTV]

really good.
