You really capture the bustle of the place. I read somewhere that advertising companies are flocking to put up billboards on Times Square and to have vendors passing out samples of things because they know that so many people show up there with cellphone cameras and flipcams and send the media back home–so its free viral advertising for them. If you had the sign for the play in your shot the producers might even have wanted it. And of course, if you are carrying that flipcam and news breaks, you’ll be golden–take along some email addresses or websites to send “citizen ” tape to. That’s how we got the falling towers, the taser incident in Florida, and many other “amateur” stories that were highly marketable.
