50 people, one question : Restored


Fifty People, One Question: New Orleans from Benjamin Reece on Vimeo.

I found this video by Benjamin Reece a few weeks back and after re-finding in I’ve decided that it is just too aww inspiring not to share. This post is out of the norm for Ryan A Graves.com but I think you’ll be glad that I shared it. Here is a discription of the film from Cameron Moll’s blog:

Benjamin’s recent projects is “Fifty People, One Question: Restored”. The idea is simple: Ask 50 people a stimulating question. Record their responses. The result combines cinematography, music, editing, and human emotion to produce one of the most compelling, well-produced indie videos I’ve seen in recent memory.

Remarkably, the video was shot entirely with an amateur-grade Canon HV20 camcorder — the same one I own (correction, I own the HG10) — but with a 35mm adapter and Nikon lens. Music is by Four Tet. Opening song is “Slow Jam” available at iTunes and Amazon.

I've probably watch this video 10 tiimes now…there is something about how it makes me feel that is very powerful. Humans are so real, nobody is perfect, and nobody is the same…I love it.
