“The Lost Tribes of New York City”

I’m not sure I’d title the project the same way, but I love what London Squared did with this film. I wonder if the filmmakers showed the result to the people they interviewed for the project and how the people felt about seeing themselves as objects in the landscape.  The filmmakers call themselves urban anthropologists, but their webpage doesn’t mention any formal training.

Still, I’m always looking for inspiration.  Even if I don’t have that kind of animation skills.
