Got a minute? This experimental short will take you from Coney Island to Times Square in just 60 seconds. Sights and sounds include “Stand clear of the closing doors, please,” the rumble and rattle of the Q train, snow being shoveled outside Ruby’s, snow being crunched underfoot, the caw of seagulls and the crash of the surf. Filmmaker David Patrick Alexander says he produced the video for Duy Linh Tu‘s Multimedia Story Telling Class at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. ATZ gives it high marks!

Amusing the Zillion 
Cool video, I’ve always wondered who is the guy saying, “Stand clear of the closing doors, please.”
It is very cool what can be done in a short film. Re the voice, I remember hearing it was a radio announcer. Just looked it up and it’s true! Charlie Pellett of Bloomberg News…
“Since July 2000, the new cars (starting with the R142) in the New York City Transit system have been anchored by a team of four voices: Charlie Pellett, Jessica Ettinger Gottesman, Dianne Thompson and Catherine Cowdery. As the story goes, in 1999, Bloomberg Radio (two years before Mayor Mike’s election campaign) donated the time of some of its employees to the MTA as a “public service.” This group recorded various announcements for alerts that would ultimately become the sound of the underground for millions of New Yorkers. Their voices are now legendary.”
