Casey Neistat Hurricane Sandy YouTube stillFilm maker stays in NYC with his bike and video camera to document Hurricane Sandy (+ video)
Remember Casey Neistat, the New York film maker and cyclist whose slapstick take on riding in the bike lane became a YouTube hit with nearly 6 million views to date? Well, he’s back with another video, but the subject and approach are very different.
Neistat, his brother, some friends and their bikes, plus his video camera, stayed behind in New York City this week as it was struck by Hurricane Sandy. The result is a haunting video of the usually bustling metropolis turned into an aquatic ghost town by the force of nature. He also tweeted about his experience.
Neistat’s films – you can see more of his portfolio here – often give food for thought; this one’s no exception.

Try commuting in Manchester.......
Well Sideburn, London is just one big flood plain waiting to happen
I remember when the Thames barrier was built people asked what is the point? But; the weather in America/Canada tends to influence the weather here two weeks later
Are we up for some interesting weather?
So, a "natural" disaster hits and they decide to ban filming ot at least not issue permissions ....... for what reason?
For the same reason that they issued the order to evacuate everyone from Zone A I presume. SAFETY.
Some great shots around the floods. But it wasn't very "stormy" where he was
That was most likely NYC Film Commission permits he was talking about, not just people out and about with video cameras.
