impossibly beautiful.
damn, you’re making me want to jump in the game.
You.Are.Insanely.Talented.
I feel honored to have had the opportunity to watch that.
digging deep into an already stunning captured moment. (is he performing for you?)
the panels made me feel both the distance and the connection between figures.
just great.
Thanks for the nice words Will, David, Daniel.
Will, he’s not performing for me specifically. I was passing between a group of sightseers who were looking the other way. He just began dancing suddenly, so I shot between a gap in the group. Despite how it looks, he seemed fairly oblivious to my filming.
Just fantastic. Your best work in my opinion
when we meet soon, we got to tell each other some stories.
Magnificent. I’m floored. This is my favorite piece of yours I’ve seen thus far. If I say any more it will turn into an essay so for now I’ll leave it at that.
That. Was. Incredible. I really wish i had final cut or whatever you used skills, time and insight to produce something as wonderful. So immersive. Dude had skillz!
I think the extra dimension came from the fact that his dance moves were not his own so i was equating him to michael jackson - it is great for people to mimic and add there own flavour that is what makes me watch and congratulate human spirit.
This is ridiculous. It’s beautiful and magical. And then it keeps getting more intense.
Great observation, photography - inspired postproduction. Very special.
this is an example of what i aspire to…poetic, narrative and visually stunning. so well crafted. thank you for showing what can be seen and done.
Oh man. This was great. I like how Will put it: “the panels made me feel both the distance and the connection between figures” I passed folks like this countless times every day I lived in Chicago … but this video is somehow more true to those moments.
I must get back in the habit of traveling everywhere with my camera. I’ve been getting out of the habit lately. There are moments/magic everywhere. You caught one and added to it. It’s what’s great about what we’re all doing, revealing the mirror of our minds.
hee heee oooh! the way you make me feel. it really turns me on. hey hey.
well captured and delivered!
i do wonder if he knew.
yeah, I’m with the rest, it’s brilliant. What camera do you shoot on? The clarity and detail are stunning. Really liked the post work you did on this too. What did you do your time remapping in? Have you ever played with Twixtor frm ReVisionFX?
Excellent work, as usual.
That was beautiful. I don’t think I could say anything else that would do it justice. I loved when it went into reverse. Perfection.
Too good Robert. I agree with the others - your best yet. Is this shot with the HV20?
Hot dang, that was beautifully constructed. Lyrical, just visually lyrical.
Nothing personal but you just gave me a headache . I’m going to spend time figuring out how you did that.
Ommane…Yes, the HV20!
well, what doya know: elvis is alive and still performing !….
sublime piece, steafy framing, cool. poetic and poetics all in one.
(great moment(s) with the skaters passing by)
so nice to hear negative sounds from the institute
compliying with the other(s) : probably your best work so far!
wow. This left me… speechless. This is the kind of video art that inspires me to keep reaching, expanding my ideas about what the medium of video can accomplish. The moodiness and lyrical nature of both the subject and post treatment remind me a bit of Bill Viola, my personal video hero and the artist who fist inspired me to look at video as an artform. Thank you. I am forever your devoted fan.
p.s. I love the HV20. love it. Are you using any lens adapters? shooting in 24p? inquiring minds want to know =)
Trying to catch up… from top to bottom!
Hi Robert,
finally today i have seen this work and this one is truly amazing. I was already waiting for your hv20 images…
One of the things i like very much about this work you do is that we can think that you produced it all, from asking that person to dance and that you did all those complementary things in (pos-) production…
But no, it is even crazier because those are truly lapses of life you see and capture with you camera and then take it to another level with your imagination and skills.
Amazing! Normally i am not the kind of person who likes or produce “arty” videos, but i really like your work, and it inspires me to do more videos, and again when watching yours, they’re always so beautifully unpredictable in every second they play.
A very good beginning for your Semanal year.
Hi alli…
No lens adapter used. Shot in 25p (pal) cine mode. I do have a wide angle adapter but haven’t really used it yet.
Thanks for passing by - and everyone else.
By far the best thing i have view online for a good long while.
thankyou.
Such a fine dance and dancer, finely filmed and presented. Aaaaah.
Completely agree with all the posts above, that really is an amazing video you’ve manage to make there.
Funny thing is that I’ve seen that guy dancing before. I was out for lunch one day walking along a very busy Oxford Street and I noticed that lots of people kept looking over the road. When I looked over it was the same guy dancing in exactly the same way. Never thought I would see that again!
Real nice to meet you earlier in Brighton.
What a magical world you must live in! It’s all inside your head, what you bring to the little random moments of life that enriches them, and me, so deeply. I’m not going to say another word. I’m going to go right to sleep so I can dream that I live in your head.
All I can say is…..wow! This is truly superb. It serves as an inspiration for me to post new videos during 2008.
I love the panel work. like stepping in and out of other dimensions. people are the most interesting of things. (though I haven’t worked up much courage to film them yet)
lush sounds too. I liked how the passerby people walked to the same pace. different beat of the drum to dancing guy.
simply beautiful! and the quality of the video (image wise) is amazing too (as well as content/art)
(& if your videos inspire pouringdown to join in all the better!!)
I just love your interpretation of this scene…
so beautiful!
i was under the impression it was choreographed until i read the comments. such an incredible life moment to capture.
thanks for sharing
Brilliant as always. Wondering what you did to get thickbox to work. Mine just loads the video in the page.
So lonely among so many people.
Brilliant, Bliss, Beautiful -
The moments of change and the splits work and feel -
honestly to center of my mind and soul, so right.
I have a video similar to this on my site - however no cuts - the city spoke for itself.
Don’t want to do this - but will save you some time, as I know you are part of the vlogging community -

this is a FANTASTIC work.
Gripping. Amazing work.
this is great robert, at last i got to see couple of your video arts, i’m impressed.
I didn’t know you were also making videos. This is the first one I watch, and I’m quite impressed ! The backward sequence with all the people passing in different planes is magical.
Jen’s class says it’s sad and mesmerizing at the same time. Such a well taken opportunity to capture candid behavior on the street.
