Unexpectedly, I ran into this film crew shooting a new commercial series for an I Love New York PR campaign, a slogan which the city has been using to promote itself since way back when. They say they intend to put more emphasis on celebrating the “ordinary people’s” New York. This particular one will show a breakdancing group, Full Circle, performing in front of the Washington Square Arch, referring, we suppose, to the many performers that use Washington Square Park as a stage, who all attempt to be compelling enough to stop traffic. Luckily, the timing was right, and I was able to capture some video of the dancers…
I like the way this shot is framed – and the light and silhouette.
Does one really need to “sell” NY?! Interesting.
Cool video too.
Nice shot! I was just in NYC a few days ago – saw Tim Robbins shooting a movie on Fifth Avenue! It was quite a good celebrity sighting! Alas I didn’t have my camera with me!
