Short Film: Puccini at Night
September 3, 2010
(Click on the image above to watch the film)
This film is a celebration of some of the world’s great cities edited to the music of Giacomo Puccini’s “Nessen Dorma.” I filmed the imagery during the past year of my travels. lt was a wonderful year exploring these cosmopolitan mega-cities. There is a certain freedom of roaming a metropolis in search of imagery, striking up causal conversations with strangers, never really knowing how the day will end. During my travels, I would keep a lookout for some of the best coffee shops at each location to rest my tired feet and soak into a newspaper. Along the way, you do capture some magnificent views and a pocketful of memories. May the journey continue…

All of the cities you photographed were excellent but I believe you saved the best for last (Sydney). This scene worked for me best because it contained their most famous landmark (opera house) but I also liked the boats passing by which is more interesting than cars, and I think you got the speed of the boats just right.
