Smoke Stacks, Free Tracks And Full Effects

I can watch a smoke (or steam) stack for a long time. Their enormous size and output make them simultaneously intimidating, beautiful, iconic, timeless and omnipresent.

Using YouTube’s new editing system, I was able to add free audio and use the “Cartoon” video filter.

This is a cropped view from my office, which overlooks the East River into Queens.

Here, I added some free new age ocean music with the “1960′s” video filter.

Here I used creepy sound effects mixed with original audio and the “Thermal” video filter for this nifty shot.

Here I used free electronic music and the “Lomo” video filter

Burnin’ Off Some Steam

This is just some steam coming out of some pipes from the Vanderbilt overpass on 42nd Street in Midtown from last night, but there’s a street light behind it and I have my trusty low-tech iPhone camera doing it’s unpredictable thang.  It kind of makes me think of special automotive effects from a monster truck rally.
