I see how this is people of NY. Lots of people outside at night and just hanging out. Yup, NY.
Great! What was it supposed to be.
This is a cool video i just wish there was sound. i also saw myself in the background. They should make more videos like this one bet they got a lot of publicity from this video….
hmmm... seems to be more police oriented. I wonder what thats about
I see how this is people of NY. Lots of people outside at night and just hanging out. Yup, NY.
I like that the creator made it in slow motion. And that he/her made it "modern."
Nice video. Only in New York you can see so many different kinds of people.
this video was nice i really liked it who ever made it thumbs up
The People of Ny is mostly about people who like going outside in the night. And NY is mostly describes: Busy,Fun, beautiful,and hard.
"People of New York" was about random people in different parts of New York City, and when i say "random", I mean RANDOM. The clips went from filming hot dog carts to filming Elmo (the kind that are just people in costumes) to filming police guys posing for a picture with an old woman. I thought it was cool because everything was so random, and also beautiful. It's such a classic to see Times Square at night with all the lights. One thing is for sure, I loved "People of New York".
Nice video! I like it because people are walking slowly
also people asking for help.
I like the video.because it is showing nice views of new york.
I enjoyed seeing many different people in new york like the police, shop sprinters, and random citizens. I especially liked the picture of bacon in the back round in the third scene.
I think the video about people in New York was interesting because it should many people doing different things in different places. I especially enjoyed the part about the human statue.
i think the video was about different people in the city doing different think
In "People of New York", I liked that the creator made sections of the video in slow motion. I think he/she did that because that was probably a part that was really something to focus on. Even though i couldn't hear the sound it was a great video. The video showed many different people. There were policemen, firefighters in the truck, people dancing, and people touring Times Square.
I think Times Square is called "the crossroads of the world" because many artists and important things happen in Times Square. For example; The New Years Eve ball drops in the center of Times square. Also, many famous people have gotten their career's started in Times Square. Something that stood out to me was that none of the footage in the entire movie was in regular motion. It was always fast or slow motion. It fells normal in a way just to see what other people do in their lives. I think they were in Queens or Brooklyn. and no, I did not recognize any of the locations. I think watching this video makes me think about New York that new York is a special place and not everyone gets the chance to live a normal life here. I think that why people want to come to New York or live in New York is because of the opportunities, the shopping, and the sensation that anything can happen!
I like the video of people of New York because I know were most of the places and it shows people around the world what New York looks like
I think was called that because so many people go there and possibly to cross the street there. One thing that stood out to me was that so much was going on at once. It feels like one day that can be me.I start to think have I seen any of the people in this video before. I recognize Times Square and thats it. It made feel like New York is a lot more crowded place than I thick when I saw it on camera. Yes one there is so many places to go.
I think its called the cross roads of the world because so many people walk in different directions that its like a cross road. One thing that stood out to me was when the little girl was standing there looking at the sky. Its kind of weird because sometimes your walking about your day in that crowd. This video make me think New York is a very beautiful place.
One thing that stood out to me was in the beginning when a bunch of people were dancing. Watching so many people go about their day made me feel like a spy, I also know that some of the pictures were taken on Roosevelt island and in Brooklyn. Watching this video made me feel like just one of the eight million people in new york city.
I think that Times Square is often called the "crossroads of the world" because everybody comes to Times Square on special holidays. One thing that stood out to me was the shinning light in New York. I think it felt good to people and thats how I saw it. After watching this video I feel like New York is a big crowed place and awesome. I think people might like coming to Times Square because how big and beautiful it is, especially on New Years Eve at twelve o-clock in the morning.
The one thing that stood out to me that the video has Œ
I think its call that because there is yo much people and there are many ways to GO!!! to many people going there
It make me think about the light and so many people 6. I think they love to come to New York because their are festival their and cause its a BIG place.
One thing that stood out to me was the people dancing in the beginning. Most of it was filmed in Times Square
I think times square is thought of as the crossroad of the world because it's so full of life; bright and shining; beautiful and powerful, a lot like a star actually. its the attention hogging city, and it wants it to stay that way.
two things that stood out to me about this video were the view when the video moved more quickly, where you could see the brooklyn bridge and the cities lights shining brightly; and the second was when the little girl was balancing on the column, then jumped off and stumbled when she got on the ground. this stood out to me because almost everyone who lives in new york has been their. jumping off of something and losing your balance.
watching the people going about their day in this video honestly felt kind of strange. i mean, these people could just as well be you. its kind of cool.
watching this video made me think about how huge and busy new york is. and also how gorgeous and slightly vain it is.
the video was all about people of new york. I didnt understand most of it since there was no sound. most of the video was in time square. might mean that times square is a popular place in new york when its dark.
I think Times Square is definitely the crossroads of the world. What stood out to me was all the people in Times Square. Watching people go about their day felt kind of like spying. I thought that the parts of the film where the Manhattan skyline was showing that it was shot in Brooklyn. I think New York is a very big bustling city. This video shows me that people might like coming here because it is the center of everything.
i don't get the video because it was no sound to the video so the don't get the video. I like the video to so it was awesome. And the video have a lot of people. And i can tell it was in New York in Times Square
Most of Times Square is full of people and stores. I think there was a concert because everyone was screaming in parts of the video. i also think it was New Years Eve because I saw numbers counting down, but it was blurry.
One thing that I noticed was a lot of dancing. I noticed this because, well, there was a whole lot of it! I thought that it really captured the careless element that New York seems to give.It feels weird to watch people going about their day. Like "Hey everybody! Look at how intersetig my life is!" and stuff like that.
I think times square is called crossroads of the world because so many people from everywhere around the world go there and its crossroads to everywhere in times square
the thing that stood out to me is the time lapse because it looked pretty cool
I didn't think I saw people going around their day
I don't know where it was
it makes me think that new york has a lot of cool places to go
it dosn't give me any ideas
I dont get the video. All it showed was people dancing, walking and jumping in times square
The only thing that was cool was the time lapse
The people of New York themselves are a very unique bunch . A variety of cultures , religions , genders joined together , to experience the city of wonder . New York Times Square itself is the definition of New york , bright lights representing the answers of many , and welcome . The landmarks , hidden by modern days but still representing deep cultural roots , from long ago . The people of New york rave for these things , crave to be in the land of dreams where a street performer can turn into a superstar with one small discovery . The people of New York await new experiences , friendships , life . When they move , when they arrive to this pulchritudinous place they do it for a clean state , for a chance to be meaningful , to be noticed . They think of this quote while arriving ' You remember your favorite teachers name , but who will remember you ? . They come there to make memories , to have worthy remembrance . The people of New York , when first came were lost , a piece of hay in a needle stack . Although that is true over time , The people of New York become one with the city of lights .
I thinks this because a lot of people like t live in a place where there is a lot of things to do. One thing that stood out for me is the people that we're being playful and crazy. And the different jobs that people have. it feels like some of them are serious and some are not. Watching this video made me think about how New York can be huge and busy. ANd fun at the same time
I think "The Crossroads of the World" is called what it is because in the word "Crossroads", there is "cross" The video is "cross timed" as in slow time. One thing that stood out to me was the end when the clouds where moving in fast motion. To watch people as they go about their in day in slow motion felt really weird because your seeing every little thing they do and all their facial expressions. I saw one place was in the area of the Verrazano Bridge. The video made me think no differently about New York City.

I think they often call TimeSquare " Cross roads of the world " is because a lot of people go to and live in TimeSquare. One thing that stood out to me was that TimeSquare is a really crazy place. Watching this video makes me feel like New York is a really big place.
I think time square is called the crossroads of the world because of how many people go through time square. One thing that stood out to me was how the video was in a slow motion perspective. It makes me feel awkward watching people going about their day. I didn't know any of the locations exept for time square.the video reminded me of how busy new york is. I think because of it's scenery.

When/where the time-lapse portions were shot I do not know. Maybe in Queens?
Watching this video makes me think a lot differently about New York and manhattan because I don't visit manhattan much.

The one thing that stood out to me was when they were pulling that car.sad and kind've sad.I think its in the china city.All of the people and buildings.Because there are a lot of places to go and many people be friends.
I think the video people of new york is a very amazing documentary because it had a very funny part where this woman looked MAD because the cop pulled her over
I think Times Square is called the crossroads because there are always a bunch of people running about in Times Square. One thing that stood out to me was there were a million different people in times square and they are different from one an other but still get along great! That's why America is so awesome! To watch people go about here day is kind of creepy because your basically spying on them. I recognized Times Square but over all I didn't notice much that seemed familiar. After watching this video I notice that there are tons of different people in New York and that shows there are so many great people in our community. I think people love to come here because there are so many great sites to see and great people to meet!
I think that Time Square is called the the crossroads of NY because a lot of artist and its super bright and colorful also a lot of cool things happen in Time Square. Like the BIG ball drops on New Years Eve. Two thing that stood out to me is 1) I saw myself in the background 2) People didn't even realize that they were being filmed. I feel like a spy when i watch this video because people don't even realize there being watched. I saw the Brooklyn Bridge and a lot of places in brooklyn, Queens and a lot of other places. Next time I'm in Time Square I'm going to pay more attention to the world around me.
I think new york is called the crossroads of the world because of all the different people there. One thing that stood out was all the police. There were a lot of police throughout the video. It felt kind of awkward because I felt like a stalker. I didn't recognize any of the other locations. Watching the video made me realize how many people there are in New York. There are so many different things in NY to do it makes me see why people come to NY.

I think that Times Square is called the crossroads of the world because it's a very famouse place and everyone wants to go there. One thing that stood out to me was when dozens of people were dancing together, and watching so many people go about there day made me feel like a spy. Some of the time lapse locations, I know, were taken in Queens. I now think about the many people there are in New York City. People love coming here to seethes city's diversity, in everything.
"People of New York" was quite a cool video. A lot of it was shot in Times Square, but some shots were in Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Staten Island, but not as much. Times Square is often called "crossroads of the world". I think it is called that because all different people from around the world come to Times Square. Something that stood out to me was the lady that took a picture with the cop. I thought it was nice. It's cool to watch people go about their days because they are so normal, and not trying to show off or anything. They are being their regular selves. Watching this video made me think more about New York, and about how so many people dream about coming here when we are so used to being here. So many people come here just to say they did when we're like, "Yeah we live in NY!". I think people come here also to be on broadway, to see all the different landmarks, and other crazy reasons. I thought that "People of New York" was awesome!

I think Times Square is often called the" crossroads of the world" because lots of people go there and there are lots of bright lights and store to shop at which is the main attraction to almost any place. The one thing that stood out to me was the flag that i saw in the beginning of the video because i've never seen someone bring a flag to Times Square unless there was a certain event. To watch people as they go about their day is a little weird because they didn't know that they were being video tapped, so in a way it is kind of like stalking but in a good way. When the time-lapse portions started I did not recognize any of the locations and I also didn't know where they were. Yes this video makes me think about New York because it is making me realize that there are so many fun things to do. Yes this video does give me ideas as to why people might love coming here, or living here because it is a main attraction.
Most of Times Square is full of people and stores. I think there was a concert because everyone was screaming in parts of the video. i also think it was New Years Eve because I saw numbers counting down, but it was blurry.
I think the video is about how people live in new york city and manhattan.This video reminds me of the time i went to times square
I like "people of new york" because I like how they show the people of new and you don't get to see doing regular stuff and get to see sites at night I love "people of new york"
Some people say that Timesquare is the cross rodes of the pulchritudinous new york city . I believe that is true . Timesquare is the cross rodes of new york city because it is the center of it all . it is where you make the final decision , its where you pick which path shall you cross from there on . While watching the people in the video the people of new york , I realize the excitment of life , that there is more then one story . Observation is the key to realization , studying the normal behavior of human life , you can truly see that the world truly does not revolve around you . That fate and destiny are the sun and we the people are the planets and we orbit around life , and if one planet dies out , the chain of life still caries on just with one loose end , if we go , life continues , thats what I have learned from observing . I believe people come to New York City , to time square , for a new beggining , a fresh start . For the chance of stardom in more ways in one . Stardom of life , stardom of person , stardom of sucess . People move to New york , to Timesquare because they are looking for a way to start the orbit , a way to really live . In the videoI dont really recognize any places , but at the same time , maybe I do . Maybe its just the existence of forgetting , maybe that is one of the fears of human life . I truly did not pay attention to the setting of the video , but I know some times square Land marks . I know Radio tower , and the location of the times square ball . I know these things not from remeberence , but from speech reincarnation , when one word is spoken a million is heard . from what people say I know these places , even without being there . Many people believe that manhattan is all of New York City , but truthfully it is only 1/5 of New York city . It is the riptide in the wave , the leaf on the tree , the biggest of the smallest . people do not take time to realize what all the other parts of New York have to offer , how they are deserving of such worship . I have never thought what it truly means to live in New York , but I believe it means respect , it means freedom , it means chance , so much chance , I am grateful to be living in such a pulchritudinous city .
I think that times square is called the crossroads of the world because so many people are going in different directions. One thing that stood out to me was all the people who actually came to New York. They all looked so interested in New York and not even for the camera. To see people go about their day was interesting. Usually you don't really get to stare at people. Now you get to learn what other New Yorkers do. No, some of the locations I saw I did not recognize. I did see a bridge, though it could have been the Verisono.
This video made me think about how New Yorkers go about their day.
This video shows just how beautiful NY really is and I can see why so many people want to come here.
the thing that stood out to me was when they were pulling out the car very sad.I think it is in queens. I did see Elmo dancing and this gives me a idea why people want to come to new york
Time square is called the cross roads of the world because Times Square is the world's most visited tourist attraction, about 330,000 people pass through Times Square daily. one thing that stood out to me was that there were a lot of police. it feel weird to watch because you don't get to see people like this a lot. one location was the piers across the river. it is a good place to be at. it is good to see lots of different cultures.
I think that Times Square is called the Crossroads of the World because there is a lot of busy roads. The on thing that stood out for me was the Hershey on the Building.
No I have never seen a cruse ship get loaded or built. but I have seen one
especially next to the Veranzano Bridge but I really want to.
