Ok, this is incredible. For anyone familiar with BART in the Bay Area, someone (sneakily) stuck a GoPro to the front of one, filmed an entire journey end-to-end, and then made a documentary out of it (overlaying fascinating audio). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Jrp6it9Ss - ThreadSky

So cool. I bet we'll see this on @kottke.org tomorrow.

hilarybaumann.com•589 days ago

Are you aware of SlowTV? Probably not the same as an unauthorized ride with a GoPro but it’s the first thing I thought of reading this.

starefossen.bsky.social•589 days ago

Norway are the experts of slow tv 😂 https://www.scandinaviastandard.com/slow-down-with-norways-slow-tv/

bjornih.bsky.social•589 days ago

Yeah sounds like something the Norwegian national broadcasting company would broadcast for like 2 weeks…

mmasnick.bsky.social•589 days ago

Yup. Well aware of it. This isn't quite that, because the narration, interviews, etc. make this a bit more... but... yeah.

hilarybaumann.com•589 days ago

Defiantly going to watch the rest of this tomorrow so I’m also glad you shared it. 😎

buttplug.engineer•589 days ago

Oh damn I saw this was being played at the roxie but didn't know it was on youtube too! thanks!

My sister was on BART on the opening day to the public,

cynra.fish•589 days ago

Watched the entire thing yesterday, and it's one of the best cab-view videos I've ever watched.

This brings back mostly good memories of the countless hours I spent on BART in the early 90s, commuting from Lafayette into the city.

gwenners.bsky.social•589 days ago

That was delightful. Also glad to see commentary from Scott Wiener in there.

icespice.bsky.social•588 days ago

last time I was on Bart it caught on fire 💕 one of the old trains

Oooooh shit son this is exactly the sort of thing I like to watch.

mmasnick.bsky.social•589 days ago

Ok. Posted that when I'd only watched some of it. Have now watched the whole thing, and you have to watch through the end credits. I think the filmmaker is here: @vwoo.bsky.social though not posting.

mmasnick.bsky.social•589 days ago

Also, it did not surprise me one bit to find out that @danielle.bsky.social is somewhat to blame for this becoming a film. Danielle was on my podcast a few years ago about how her art projects kept getting legal threats.

risu.bsky.social•589 days ago

This is amazing

vwoo.bsky.social•589 days ago

thanks for the shoutout

mmasnick.bsky.social•589 days ago

It's a great film. Really loved it. Going to watch again with the family.

3wombats.bsky.social•588 days ago

I took that ride in my lounge room yesterday. I meant to say thanks to who posted it
