Well done. I enjoyed watching all of that.

I'll probably never get to visit NY myself, or a lot of other places for that matter, so it's good to be able to get a look from behind the lenses and cameras from people from all over the world. And video certainly seems to add another dimension to the experience.

Must do one from my neck of the woods one day...

Cool. I dig your perspectives. Especially the street signs and people passing by.
Q's:

• Focusing: Manual or AF? Looks manual.
• In-camera or external microphone?
• Any special camera settings used?
• And finally...Which video editing software did you use?

Thanks

Hi thanks for comments.
I used some manual some auto. I need a lot of practice though. It's hard to manually focus the 20mm for me with the small focus ring. But you need manual to do some of the cool focus transitions.
In camera mic
no special settings
I used Imovie I have final cut pro but can barely use it.
Anyway It was really one of my first attempts at this kind of thing I'm having a blast and want to do more movies. Thinking about the GH2 now.

Also I forgot my VF2 so it made the focusing harder.
