Fifty People, One Question: New York

First of all, if you haven't seen "Fifty People, One Question: New Orleans," go and do that now. Here is the 2nd video in the series. The lowdown from the filmmakers:

We asked the same question and it took us somewhere new. Gone were the lazy days of summer. A cool breeze swept the streets with leaves under foot and the familiar hustle of the city…welcome to autumn in New York.

It’s a simple question. And the answers can lead us anywhere.

So go ahead, ask yourself…

Here is the question - "By the end of today, what do you wish to happen?" I love the diversity of this one. The diversity of responses and people. Beautiful.

Seriously - if this blog ever put together a video, it would probably be pretty close to something like this. Sublime video goodness. Enjoy.

Fifty People, One Question: New Orleans

This short video is fantastic. From the creators - Delltree:

When we set out to film, it was another New Orleans day. Once you get past the inevitable grime and heat, you feel a certain energy or “atmosphere”. Like a kid throwing himself into a mud fight.

It’s a simple question. And the answers can lead us anywhere. So go ahead, ask yourself…

"By the end of today, what do you wish to happen?" The answers will surprise you - (yes, people do want money...) - I love the little boy who wants to be married to the girl behind him. Or the guy who just wants to be happy and enjoy life (yes!). It's not even ten minutes and worth every second your eyes lay on it.
