Thinking About Balance In A Hidden Bronx Forest [video]

Hey guys,

I just posted this over at Jonathan FIelds | Awake @ The Wheel and thought Id share it here, too. It’s done on a Flip Ultra video camera, one-cut, no edits and it’s done in a style I like to call…”ghetto natural.”

The topic, by the way, is the notion of balance (which is kinda funny, because I almost trip numerous times while filming). Enjoy!
