do we still want to meet before class tomorrow?

the upside down business building hussle bussle

I did a 20 minute surveillance of the business building from about 11:40 am - 12:00pm documenting the "ending of class" bussle and the "get to class" hussle.
I filmed it upside down, though it is slightly crooked. This way of situating the camera is odd, because I continuously want to switch the image back to the way I feel it is suppose to be (right side up). This tug and pull of wanting to rearrange the frame, makes your brain HURT!
Kind of interesting- the people walking on the upside of the frame look as if a moving mass of human clouds is occurring.
It is very long, so I need to edit it a little bit, speed some stuff up.
At the end I get a shot where there is noone in the frame, and the recording then ends.
I will get the video up when it is done being edited.

We are possibly commenting on-
-the systems that spring up when we choose to schedule our lives, how crowds gather, and sooner then later seem to fade
-also i noticed that many people as soon as they step outside of the building they hop on there cell phone
-commenting on human behavior, but altering the way in which we can view the behavior, as if these acts are merely temporal
I DON'T KNOW! lets here what you guys think!
If anyone wants the raw version, I can sent that to them through email- just let me know.

and....if anyone would like to try something else, its all game!
