I post the same comment as on Vimeo, my words are true .-) :

Great, Sidd, very rich!
Circles and cycles everywhere, things unseen (the seal in such perspective), fantastically fitting with the music.
I liked it very very much ! ... the wheels in the factory, the shots in the city, as you made the buildings vibrate ...

When a video leaves me wanting more I know that it's a good one. Had to go back and pause in several places because things flew by so quickly, but 60 seconds is a tight timeframe to work within. I liked it a lot! And the ending was cute. The first time I watched it I actually pulled back a bit as the little guy came straight for my face. Oh, and the music was spot-on!

Thank you for the kind words. My attempt was to juxtapose the fast paced life in Northern California while still showing that there are places where life slows down just a bit.

The factory wheels are really the huge drive wheels and the electric motors which move the cables used to propel the cable cars around San Francisco.

The music is a song called "Sixty-Five Thousand" by a group called Erasure.

Very nice.
Is the hummingbird going to be your "signature video content?"

[Steve Grisetti]

Wow! So much beautiful work! I hesitate to post my humble entry. (I've been dealing with some family health issues, and haven't found the time to put what I wanted to into it.)

[Francesco Carzedda]

Best wishes, Steve!
Is it all fine now?

[Steve Grisetti]

Okay, here's my entry. Though, if I get a chance to reshoot some of it, I may revise it later.
