Brooklyn Mobile - the Internet Video Cart

[@UnOxonien]

Such wonderful videos. It's like vicariously being a New Yorker.

[@fista10000]

I am quite impressed with this type of stuff. Congratulations for a good job and for your creativity. Joshua Spencer

[@parihav]

This reminds me of a show that used to be on MuchMusic (canada's equivalent more or less to MTV), where there used to be a booth with a camera and you could record random thoughts or opinions which would be presented in a show on the channel. It was called Speaker's Corner, pretty popular back in the mid 90s.

[@CancunMimosa]

@usemoreproduct Thanks for the response Dan! Happy to hear about it!

[@filszaf]

haha his smile at the end just keeps growing!

[@liveinthebozone]

rocketboomnyc, love it!

[@therealEmpyre]

@jengelele It took me a minute to realize that you were referring to a certain POEm, but then it hit me. Brilliant!

[@unorthodoxJ]

These videos are slowly changing my opinion of new york

[@jengelele]

@therealEmpyre --- Thanks for noticing! I really love the RAVEN as told by James Earl Jones (which appeared on the simpsons). Very memorable and should have been incorporated by George Lucas as a monologue in those crappy star wars prequels after Vader ends up trapped in his Sith-Suit. I recently read 'the Domain of Arnheim' by POE and was completely blown away. Renee Magritte paid homage to that short by doing a suberb painting - which I recreated as a ultra huge canvas. Really sublime stuff...

[@Silveryback]

@jengelele Wow! That sounds like such an awesome show! Are there any clips out there of the show? Like any KZbin videos or other websites with clips from the show? I'd very much be interested in checking this out. Such a shame something so cool got shut down.

[@CancunMimosa]

pretty cool stuff. what does this guy do for a real living though? how often could he really be out pushing that cart and live in brooklyn?

[@FunnyHacks]

This is an excellent project. I wish him well and hope he's able to make a living off it soon.

[@CaptKundalini]

What a great idea!

[@jengelele]

@Silveryback ----- I have put an old Speakers Corner clip on my KZbin Channel Page ----- it should be easy find as I have put it at the Number 1 position. (It's a clip of a dude who is a regular contributor ranting about the USofA during the good ol' Bush years...). You can search KZbin for 'speakers corner toronto' and get some small and disjointed clips here and there -- which doesn't really do the 1/2hour show much justice.

[@Geirunaka]

@shaneuk666 at what point did you see it? I'm curious about this.

[@usemoreproduct]

@OhNoItsGojira i think it was roughly 60 days out on the street over the course of a little over a year. so on average it was about one day a week for 3 hours. All self funded and i spent much more money on it that i earned. Mostly i make my living from contract/freelance work in engineering and art installations. But I do hope that someday there is actually a sustainable business of this sort. Always a work in progress! ;)

[@ellorybockting]

This could explode!

[@ellamorton]

@garwig888 Okay man, I can dig it. Dan takes his booth out around downtown Brooklyn, sticking mostly to Flatbush Avenue and occasionally heading to the Brooklyn Bridge. The neighborhood is more business than residential, and has a lot of workers passing through as well as people hanging out on the street. Cops haven't bothered him. He did need to get a permit in order to collect money. He has to file tax on his earnings. Work-wise he is an artist and engineer. There. Dug.

[@MrFeelGoodJson24YTP]

LOL, brings all KZbin videos online even outside in Brooklyn Mobile!

[@ellamorton]

@amie255 I remember you! I hope we've proven that this isn't a scam!

[@1acroyear1]

@unorthodoxJ What? What kind of opinion DID you have?

[@ellamorton]

@unorthodoxJ For the better, I hope!

[@jengelele]

LENORE: Toronto used to have a video booth called 'SPEAKERS CORNER' PERCHED in a hub in a vibrant downtown district. The recording haul was edited into weekly TV show that was great to watch and gave a great feel to the City. Having all those Stoners, Hockey Moms(?!), Tourists, Drunks, the WEAK & WEARY, Homeless folk, folk with grievances, musicians, teenagers, and the maladjusted just letting loose. It was shut down after being bought out by a conservative media conglomerate - AND NOTHING MORE.

[@JoshuaPhan]

Cool idea.

[@ellamorton]

@yuriythebest Just fixed it. Thanks for telling me!

[@yuriythebest]

the rocketboom link doesen't work

[@Tripp393]

Maybe people just walk pass him because that mirror makes the cart invisible.

[@noblescott]

maybe you could winterize it with wood or... plexy-glass, I can't imagine that thing going far what with the cardboard and snow and salt and whatnot.

[@skollll]

@djvirus0 She is really nice. Nothing to change.

[@hermanoguzman]

I want to pay him a visit, but hes always on the move.

[@misterbadguy99]

Omg. I saw him b4. i had 2 turn him down tho :( i was in a hurry and on a bicycle.

[@McBenny18]

kewl

[@sleepyportugee]

I couldn't figure out why that guy's voice sounded so familiar but then it hit me! He sounds a lot like Kermit the Frog. Not trying to be rude or mean or anything like that, its just that it really does.

[@shaneuk666]

I didn't know Ella had a tattoo.

[@ellamorton]

@djvirus0 No thank you. I'm not a fan of the artificially pneumatic look.

[@RaccoonCamp]

@ellamorton im a work in progress...maybe next time ;]

[@abbaar]

I know that look, he was undressing her with his eyes.

[@Geirunaka]

@ShaneTheFilmer oohhh, kind of under her wrist? Cool, thanks :)

[@mythosTR]

@yuriythebest you have to insert a L: .../BrookLyn-mob...., then it'll work ;)

[@johnnytastetest]

Ten dollars, huh? Ella, a good question to ask would have been, "So...exactly when did your parents disown you?"

[@balzac308]

weird, but cool!

[@ellamorton]

@RaccoonCamp Congratulations! Now that you've perfected spelling, we'll move onto lesson two: capitalization.

[@C-Murph]

Speakers Corner~!

[@TheGreatSteve]

@vocabularyspills I hope not.

[@unorthodoxJ]

@1acroyear1 I've had many New Yorkers who've lived with me who've just done some terrible things to me and my family. And because of these people I suppose I have a hatred toward the whole place

[@chrisquick123451966]

I lust after Ella... I can't help it.

[@RaccoonCamp]

i love you ella...look i got it right ;]

[@concrete_dog]
