i second that.
he tries to make it exciting by taking pictures of it, running it at high speed, and throwing some "feel-good" music behind it.

boring.

I'm not sure about that. It's three days out of many. It consists of commuting across city, going to uni/work, having a laugh with his friends at his place/his friends' places, sounds like an average life to me. Not only that, it sounds like a pretty happy life.

You never get to hear what the people say, only put a soundtrack to it. How're you to tell whether it's boring or not when words make up most of our life? I can see this must've been inspired by the now all but non-existent Super-8 cameras (the motion cameras that use transparency film instead of magnetic tape, so they don't have sound and they generally use a lower shutter speed that sometimes is played and normal speed [thus making it faster than normal]).

BRAVO...that is awesome. Captures how slow the T is some days, how rainy this summer has been, and never-ending road construction perfectly (sarcasm aside, loved this...great great work.)

Very cool. I used to live in Boston, but now reside in NC. I recognized so many familiar places there and loved to nostalgia. Thanks!!

take a movie...or learn to take pictures well. A bunch of crappy photos put together to make a choppy movie set to a good song isn't artistic its a waste of time.

I did pretty much the same thing (http://vimeo.com/1126456) but I figured out through trial and error that just because you document the entire day doesn't make it particularly interesting. The story of just being in Boston (and I live in Boston) doesn't make it very compelling. It just ends up being a lot of trains and stuff.

I do love the concept and it's a fun idea to play with but I wish this video had more.
