You make the best videos! I live in a rural town and it's fascinating to sit here and eat my lunch while watching this entirely different world.

Wow Phil, this was terrific! The first I'd ever heard of the tram was this week and the TV footage did not hold a candle to yours - either in quality of the images or the beauty of the editing. Well done!!

You can see a bit of skyline, but not a full on angle. The bridge tends to obscure some of it, but it is a great view of the river and bridge and some buildings. You can see Chrysler and ESB, but not Rock Center.

@freitasex Surprisingly it came together pretty quickly. I storyboarded it in my head so I was able to shoot it in about three hours. I had already pretty much edited it in my head, so that went pretty quickly. The music probably took the longest time. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@RDJim If only I could edit out the children and not just their sounds. That's the burden of being a working man. If I were a man of leisure I could have shot this on a week day and the tram would be practically empty.
