My mind is reeling. WOW.
I really like that is was done in black and white. The song choice helps create that black and white image aswell. What would be another cool idea would be to do that same video editing style of time square. Or even possibly do it at night so u see the blur of car lights and taxis going everywhere aswell as the animated bar crawlers at night in the shot.
OK Dave, Let’s do one together…

You do some terrific work. This Moby piece, I think, is more mesmerizing each time I see it — on the first view, you see the entire tapestry, but with each ensuing view, you pick up the little threads — individual characters on the street, or the passing cars or trucks, or the details like how the flow of people matches the beat, or how the intersection seems to clear on the chorus of the song.
The Croce video, New York’s Not My Home, was shot at the same intersection and at one one block away from the NYC intersection that Wait For Me was shot at.
Hope some day Mike, you will give me permission to make video cover of one of your songs.
Best,
Hy
Great stuff Hy. I enjoyed the history of that building you are adapting. D.
