Take Off

I shot this a few months back as I was leaving New York to go home and visit the family.
I applied a tint effect to some of the video at 10% opacity to give it some color and change throughout. Below are screenshots of the video within Final Cut Pro.

Free Texture Pack 05 - The Walk To The Subway - Part 1

NP-TexturesPack05.jpg

So every day on the way to and from work I walk about 8 blocks to the N/W train in Astoria, Queens, NYC. Here is a collection of 10 textures that you can use. I took several images of leaves on the sidewalks/streets. My favorite is #48 because of the random carnation lying in the middle of the sidewalk. The preview images that you see below are 400 x 300px and the images inside the zip file are 1600 x 1200px. Let me know what you think. More to come soon.

We Live In Helvetica

After watching Helvetica - A documentary film by Gary Hustwit, I started to realize how much Helvetica I see per day. From the subway signs, inside the subway, inside the actual train, street signs, and storefronts all over the city use Helvetica. We can thank Max for that. I wonder what the next global type will be. Any ideas?

I just created this with the help of Helvetica. ;)
