It may just convince your friends to help you advocate for another one next year, and perhaps expanding it to other neighborhoods. Read our coverage on Open Streets.
I couldn’t watch the whole thing. The frames change too frequently for my eyes to feel comfortable. It especially bothers me when it jumps just a few seconds ahead in the same event or activity. I feel like I’m watching it with a strobe light on.
I think it’s a trendy editing style, to cut so quickly. I see it most often in music videos and I dislike it. You want to see something for a little bit longer, and then, “BAM”, it’s taken away from you.
I think it’s a technically good video. Who cares? The event looks amazingly fun. I want one here every Sunday.
The State Street event will be September 8, and we* are planning an Open Streets event on Sunday, September 16.
* I am a member of the Wicker Park-Bucktown SSA transportation committee and huge proponent of it.
