A time travel in beautiful New York 1945, we can clearly see what is happening in broad daylight, The right turn at 0:41 is onto 8th Avenue, traveling south. The turn appears to be around 50th Street. The Squire Theater, first visible in the distance on the right at about 1:20, was between 43rd and 44th. The Times Theater, visible at about 2:30, was showing The Princess And The Pirate, with Bob Hope and Virginia Mayo, which was released in November 1944. The Arena Theater, on the next block at 2:45, was on 41st Street. The film ends at 31st Street.

Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Wednesday, August 4th, 2021 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

This vintage film from 1993 doesn't quite feel vintage at all. Usually we associate older film with grainy video and audio quality, but this 23 year old footage is anything but. Right when 1080p60fps video was starting to emerge, long before it was affordable for household television, this film was put together as a sample.

In 2002 D-Theater D-VHS launched in the US - the dealers needed a demo tape of HD footage. JVC reused some HD video that had been shot as a demo for the Japanese HD market back in 1993. You can tell it's 1993 by the adverts in Times Square - the Radio 501 CD that's advertised on a billboard came out in 1993 and Paper Moon is playing at the Marquis Theater.
