This article was scraped from Rochester Subway. This is a blog about Rochester history and urbanism has not been published since 2017. The current owners are now publishing link spam which made me want to preserve this history.. The original article was published December 11, 2011 and can be found here.
A few weeks ago I was driving home from my downtown office and happened to have my camera with me. Not sure why but I thought it be interesting to see what I'd capture if I left it on my dashboard for the ride. Now don't try this at home--distracted driving is not cool. I'm a professional... idiot that is.
Anyway, the results I thought were pretty cool. And it got even cooler with some quick editing and quadruple speed playback. Throw in a mirror effect and some of that dope-ass hip hop music all the kids are listening to... and now we've got something worth sharing.
So go ahead--turn down the lights, pump up the volume, and hit it full screen. Let me know what you think in the comments .
Here are a few still shots from the video:
