The project that was supposed to be the “it” project for 20th century Toronto.
Capturing the story of a city where the impossible happens every day. #wherepigsfly #makecincyyours #cincinnati
In Cincinnati, things happen every day that would be impossible elsewhere. Make Cincy Yours is a central place to share these stories: the unique, inspiring, against all odds tales of our place. The reality is that if you dream here, you can happen here: you have the power here to make your mark in Cincinnati, to shape this city. You’re making the stories, we’re just helping to tell them. Help us spread the word. Share these stories, tell us your own. And every day, in your own small ways, Make Cincinnati Yours.

Poetry:
Where Pigs Fly
(written & narrated by Dan Barczak)Welcome to my city, bright and strong,
wide-eyed with potential,
a city of young and old,
of truth and kindness, and risk, essential.Full of creators, makers,
a youthful vibrance within,
I humbly ask you,
where have you been?Welcome to my city, come in, sit down,
have you come here to stay?
To the Queen of the West,
please tell me what brings you here today.For work, to fulfill a dream,
to raise a family, for long, winding tours.
Come tell me your story,
and make this place yours.Welcome to my city, roll up your sleeves,
where our heart is as big as our vision.
Come take a risk, come one, come all,
and hone your craft with unbridled precision.With passion, commitment,
and folks who ask why,
sit back, listen, and welcome
to a place where pigs fly.—

An iconic look at a moment in history. Johannesburg, South Africa atmospherically shot in 1971 by my father, Alan Michael Levy. The film is remarkable for the insights it gives into life at the time, clearly pointing at the racism inherent in society – it was a white persons world – without driving it in judge-mentally The dynamic of the country and its progressive atmosphere is perfectly reflected at the time. The 1960’s can still be felt but the modernism of the 1970’s and its architecture has crept in. Thanks Dad. Wonderful vision. .

]]>I recently embarked on a three week trip to Paris, to try and capture the city in all its glory. I had never visited the city before, and was quickly struck with how beautiful it is. My aim was to capture the classic sights; ornate buildings and typical Parisian activities, and contrast that to the modern business side, towering glass glad skyscrapers and fast paced life.
I felt very lucky to have been in Paris when the massive thunderstorm started. I had seen the weather forecast, and made sure to position myself in among the skyscrapers. The storm started off slow, but very quickly built up to be absolutely ferocious. The lightning was hitting almost every other second, and some bolts were taking up the entire sky. The following night another huge storm hit Paris, and I spent the night furiously cycling around whilst grabbing as many shots as possible. I would set up, grab a sequence and as soon as the lightning moved away I gave it warp nine and cycled to my next spot as quickly as possible. By the end of the night I was freezing cold and completely soaked.. but content with what I had managed to capture.
Cue three weeks of shooting, followed by roughly 5 weeks of editing.. I think in total I spent over 400 hours working on this project, which means that every single second of video took two and a half hours to produce. The video was entirely self-funded, and shot purely out of my love for timelapse. If you enjoyed the video, please pass it along to a friend.
To keep up to date with my latest work, you can find me on facebook at facebook.com/paulrichardsonphoto For the tech-heads, I used a Canon 6D, 17-40 f4, 50mm 1.8, and a 70-200 f4. The motion control sequences were shot on a home built dolly, coupled to a emotimo TB3.
Most of the footage is available to license in 4k. If you require any custom sequences, I’m also available to work on commissions. For any enquiries, please contact me at paul[a-t]agour.co.uk

From the YouTube Description:
Kasia Zabawa, Deputy Director of the Manhattan Institute’s Center for State and Local Leadership, stops by the office of Mayor Mick Cornett, 35th mayor of Oklahoma City, to discuss why conservatives shouldn’t give up on cities, urban revitalization, and the proper role of government in addressing obesity.

Here’s the description from Vimeo:
During the 1920s, cinematographer Claude Friese-Greene travelled across the UK with his new colour film camera. His trip ended in London, with some of his most stunning images, and these were recently revived and restored by the BFI, and shared across social media and video websites.
Since February I have attempted to capture every one of his shots, standing in his footsteps, and using modern equivalents of his camera and lenses. This has been a personal study, that has revealed how little London has changed.
