TOKYODV Video Log

This clip was made awhile ago, when ecstasy and raving in the park were the only and best things going on in town. I think that particular scene has waned a bit, but there are still rave/techno parties held in clubs every weekend.. I think ‘house’ is where it’s at now.

I took the sounds of a night rave in Yoyogi Park and combined it with sped-up video of Shibuya’s main crosswalk. This crosswalk provides some of the best eye-candy Tokyo has to offer, with it’s huge video screens, colorful lights, and masses of converging ‘crosswalkers’. It’s been featured in a lot movies and also can be seen in FOMA Debut and Vodafone Barcoding. FG has a thread with some old photos of Shibuya Crossing in the 40s or 50s.

The encoding quality is so-so, but the clip is short so you can move along quickly.. It’s called ‘Shibuya Crosswalkers: My Hobby is Shopping’..
