Fantastic piece of film and very nicely set to music. Quite a reminder of our own mortality...

This video is so special, searching for my roots on this street

It's quite amazing how back then, this was the sort of thing only an expert could do, and then only with hours and hours of preparation.

Today you can get the same effect with a phone or handheld camera.

How the times have changed...

absolutely. and the marketing thing was just something i read. makes no difference. i still wanna' step off the streetcar and go grab a drink...

Could be. However other pictures I have seen around that period of time in S.F. look quite crowded and lots of cars. Beautiful film either way.

heard it was a promo film...the tweaked aspect being they hired cars to be in it to make SF seem more modern.  apparently some of the cars are the same ones over and over. *shrug*
