Video Interlude: Portland, Oregon – It’s the Next Big Thing

November 24, 2010 by Dave 2 Comments

Oregon from Steve Allen on Vimeo.

I don’t know much about this one except that it’s by Steve Allen. Crane and helicopter shots of downtown Portland, bridges, etc.

    This video benefits from some of the great perspectives the filmmaker got: from helicopters and cranes. But the music seems really over-the-top intrusive. The first thing you here is someone wailing, “Are we human?” The video seems half a promotional video for downtown Portland and half a criticism of automobile traffic. Plus the shots are cut together to quickly and hastily. He went to all the trouble of shooting from a copter and then doesn’t hold the shots very long. I’m not saying this isn’t well done, but I’d have preferred a little less MTV wannabe style.

    Brian Libby – It looks like it was expensive to make for sure. I didn’t like the music either, but different strokes etc. I’m curious what it was produced for – not much info on the Vimeo page.
