As our first assignment for our Tokyo Stories film class, I observed/interacted with the people in Akasaka. The first day was an observational stage, the second day I jotted down notes about what I saw, and the third day was interactive.
Notes from the second day:
- dude talking on expensive-looking cell phone stared at my shoes
- numerous contemplatively silent businessmen
- dude put something card-shaped in his pouch
- overtly non-overt behavior is more than common
- vehicles are 90% taxis, 8% cars, and 2% bikes
- drunk elderly man stares with lonely eyes, sporting hip clothing from the streets of europe's english-speaking capitol of the underground metro
- many groups of 3-5 business men/women carrying the same gift bags. formal meeting presumably
- cops drive by and slow to a crawl, eyeballing hard
Video from the third day (time-lapse, no audio):
More to come...

Cool time lapse. What camera did you use?
ReplyDeleteIt was about 30 mins, with my 6-year old digital rebel haha. Can't believe that thing still works.
