a year in new york

A Year in New York from Andrew Clancy on Vimeo.

andrew clancy is a freelance cameraman who filmed a year of his life in new york, and compressed it into this truly beautiful video. i think it is amazing how he combines a bunch of seemingly mundane moments that, when they come together, truly show the heart and soul of new york.

i guess i am not the most qualified to say that, though, as i have only been once. can any new yorkers attest?

 Living in New York I’d grab my Canon 7D, or S95, and shoot footage of what was going on around me. It seemed like a never ending project and you could stay filming life in New York for a long time.

Eventually I put the camera down and started to edit. Here’s the end result, it’s a bit rough and ready but that’s life in the Big Apple I guess.
