I just returned from a great trip to see my buddy Tyler in Chicago. We had a great time and I wanted to make a short little video that described the trip in 60 seconds.
It’s kind of a pain to carry around this camera all the time, so a lot of what we did I couldn’t capture, but I hope you enjoy watching what we did do. What you see was mainly captured with my Canon 7D.
For anyone traveling to Chicago I would recommend doing a couple of the things we did:
- Check out Millenium Park (where ‘the bean’ is) and the Art Institute right next to it
- Head over to the Hancock Building to the top floor for a cocktail as the sun sets on the city
- See the Blue Man Group
- Go to the Wiener Circle for a late night hot dog and some verbal abuse (this place was featured in an episode of This American Life)
- Explore the city – there are random pieces of Picasso and other art throughout the city
- Take a run beside the lake
- Go visit some Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in Oak Park
- Eat a Giordanos pizza
MAN! You should’ve come to see me in South Bend!
I must say that the time lapse from the top floor of the Hancock Building is pretty awesome and not to mention the whole video in itself. Keep it up Lucas! Gives a great run down of to dos when going to a city, in this case Chicago. I’m thinking an emerging market here. Capitalize on it buddy.
