Nelson Sullivan's Cable TV Show (as imagined from his videos)

This might be what Nelson Sullivan's cable TV show would have look like had he gotten the chance to put together a show himself. Imagined from Nelson Sullivan's video collection by Dick Richards.

It's so wild that this video was filmed just days before he passed away so abruptly and untimely.

He had such finesse with the camera. You almost forget he was the one holding it, walking through the streets with his arm outstretched. Its almost as if he knew how important and valuable these videos would be one day.

[@djemcee]

It’s crazy, as you mentioned is so flawless. He didn’t have gimbles, iPhones, cameras with built in stabilization, and they weighed a couple pounds. It’s almost hard to comprehend all he put into these video. It would have been easy to just stop doing it as he wasn’t getting monetized at the time from KZbin. He probably had several batteries he had to keep charged, all the tapes, that where not cheap and he didn’t have a hard drive To transfer them over too. I heard he had something like 800 tapes when he passed. That’s very expensive. He wasn’t making a dime. He just had the love of vlogging way ahead of the game and he did it with such finesse. I’m just blown away by the whole thing. I really think he’s a time traveler with Doc!

A couple of hours ago I was suggested a video about visiting a Mc Donald's in the 80's. I was unsure what I was watching, but it was right up my alley of vintage restaurants and food service. Now two, maybe three hours later I feel weirdly connected to, and sad for that guy from that video. If he could impact my life 30 years from the grave, I can only imagine how he impacted those close to him. The love for his dog pulls at my heart strings too, because i just lost my relationship with my boy of ten years a couple of weeks ago. RIP my new, unmet, friend.

Keep watching and you will see all kinds of famous people. Nelson knew and ran into so many of the socialites of the 80's in NYC. Andy Warhol, Rupaul and all the Club Kids, Keith Herring and the list goes on and on.

[@NapoleChan]

"Greenwich Village, I think the whole world wants to be here" I really felt that, I grew up in Ohio mostly but my mom had to work in New York around the time this was made (I was eight in 89) and really loved the the time I spent in Lower Manhattan and look back at that time extremely fondly. My mom being divorced and having to work full time she required a babysitter and it was hard to find someone she trusted that she could afford. She found a neighbor in the apartment building she was at that she became friends with that watched me while she worked. I remember how mad my family was at my mom when they found out I was being babysat by a gay man, but nevertheless he continued to be my babysitter while we was in New York. I never could understand why they had such a problem with it back then I had fun he sang, he took me to parks, and even cooked really good. And I'm proud to have grown up with a mom that couldn't see the problem with having him as my babysitter either.

[@plazaqueen5439]

Nelson was a master with the camera. Considering the technology available he really produced quality work.. he had such a steady hand and molded the camera as though it were part of his body. What a loss. Thank you for posting his work, it's comforting to know that enough people cared to get his material out to the masses.

[@alexkastano96]

Plaza Queen wow I was thinking about that and was sure that camera has a stabilizer of some sort...

[@TS-qq7vr]

There's one video with a snippet of him in the distance against the horizon. He holds the camera extended out on his arm and circles around effortlessly. He did an absolutely amazing job with a heavy hand held.

I must add that if you watch some of Nelson's later videos, particularly the ones near his death, he tends to yawn a lot. That can be a tell tale sign of heart failure or bleeding around the heart. Very interesting, but sad as well. Like many of us I try to understand how someone that looked relatively healthy and active died of a heart attack just a few days later. However, its likely there were signs and symptoms that he likely ignored. Tragic because he was a pioneer in videography and vlogging that people only now are starting to realize. I grew up at the same time as his videos, and I can tell you that what he is doing in these videos in terms of self documenting the life around him with video, and the first person perspective was unheard of. Amazing. What a visionary.

[@sandmanclegane5901]

sometimes when he inhales deeply it seems like hes having a hard time as well. very sad

[@lokisfriend]

He was so patient with Christina, I always find it amusing when he asks people questions and they begin to answer and he walks away, still pointing the camera at himself, but not with her. He let her finish her sentences (most of the time) and she brings grins and even smiles to his face. Also it was good to see Gay Day where the people get together to support a cause and have camaraderie where now it has turned into a sleazy shit show. RIP Nelson and Christina.

[@lunasrojas_]

The thing I love the most about these videos is the fact that I first entered here out of curiosity for a guy going Mc'donalds 30 years ago. But watching more and more videos, the "nostalgic feeling from a time I didn't lived on" erased completely. These videos are interesting as shit for themselves.

Ru doing Nelson’s make up is sorta beautiful.

Nelson was amazing and i have spent so many hours just watching old nyc on tape. I live near saint marks and just seeing how much has changed is sorta sad. Nelson is a historian, and he captured something so important in terms of the gay rights movement. Even befriending people like Christina he showed just how open and kind he was. I came to nyc to find my story many years after this and i was born a few months after Nelson passed but you can feel him here. You can feel that old New York and it’s electrifying
