Union Square, Approaching Rush Hour

Because I owe you an extra video for being out of town on Halloween...

Union Square, Manhattan, NY

Monday, November 3, 2008, around 4:00 p.m.

Ricky Grove, Ben Grussi and I were in New York that weekend for the Machinima Film Festival. On this Monday afternoon, we'd just come from The Strand bookstore a couple blocks up the street, and were preparing to hop on the subway over to Canal Street for what would end up being a really great dinner in Chinatown.

Absolutely nothing of consequence happens in this video, it's just a slice of life capturing the hustle and bustle of this big city by this boy who doesn't spend much time in one.

Video was caught with a cheap Pentax Optio A10 camera; audio captured using a Marantz PMD660 with built-in stereo mics (because I forgot to pack a cable for my good microphone)

My favorite part of NYC. Was born and raised in the Village before we moved to Woodside, Queens back in 1977. Still consider it "the old neighborhood", that's for sure!!!

I'm from a small town. I get a little claustrophobic just watching this!

So many people. o.O
