New York, USA

Front-facing vlogger selfie camera held at arm's length, face-lit and confessional, direct eye contact. The shot is filmed selfie-style on a phone mounted on a visible selfie stick held out in front, the extended stick and phone partly in frame. Day. Walking through Times Square with towering digital billboards and yellow cabs behind. A person in a puffer jacket walks-and-talks energetically to the camera, gesturing at the chaos of lights and crowds. Steam from a grate, honking taxis, dense crowd. Bright overcast with screen glow. Walking-and-talking energy, jump-cut rhythm, 24fps.
