Very nice. Reminds me of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2124106

I love how by making the whole idea “one minute” the creator has made it super accessible to anyone to create/submit, and keeps the content manageable.

Awesome, will come back for more park minutes later.

Lovely. Unexpectedly I feel more immersed with the sound off. When it's on it's like I'm watching just another video on the Internet, and the wind blusters through the mic in a way that sounds different to actually being there; whereas when it's off the unnaturally complete peacefulness meshes with the sound of my actual surroundings and the images seem to pop more.

Love it! I am fond of taking video while sitting/standing still, usually in snippets of 15-30 seconds. Last year I started taking longer videos and after showing some to a friend, thought it would be amusing to do it again in one day and cut them all together[0]. Text was tongue in cheek "shot on iPhone" shite but anyway it's quite pleasant putting these things on in the background when working.

Feels like window-swap.com.

Just tried this: first experience - beautiful sunset scene, with the audio of two kids ... the first communication being a Bevis and Butthead, stoned "oh, I just farted, ehehehe".

Very compelling as you click around the world though. Thanks.

How does this work in places like Germany with strict privacy laws. Do you have to get the consent of everybody in the video?

dannyw• 2 years ago

There is an exception to the privacy laws, for when you are taking photos of a landscape or location, and people incidentally happen to be there but are not the focus: https://www.wbs.legal/medienrecht/persoenlichkeitsrecht/rech...

I’m curious, if you shoot a street scene in Germany is that the case? That you’d have to get everyone’s permission? That seems ... impractical.

It’s a common misconception here in Australia. You can film in public. I’ve had the public come up to me and try to tell me about ‘their rights’ and I have to politely inform them that, in this situation, they don’t have any.

We got the cops called on us in central Melbourne because we were shooting a music video outside a bank. There was an ATM in the far distance and the bank’s security guards were going on about it not being legal to shoot. Again, politely, we told them that we could in fact shoot on the public street.

The cops came. “This sounded a lot more interesting on the radio”, the guy told us. They left.

I went to Disney world as a kid in the 90s. I remember a big sign over the entrance telling us that filming for something would be happening and we could get a refund if that wasn't OK. No need under the law, but having the sign probably deescalated many situations.

In general the legal standard which gets applied in such cases is to check if the people are "Beiwerk". Meaning if the persons depicted are not the focus of the picture and more or less background props, then it is fine.

Is there an image or video editor that can superimpose the smiley face or otherwise preserve privacy, simply?

ggambetta• 2 years ago

This is great! I'm imagining this recorded in stereo ("3D") and watching on a VR headset. Perfect for the winter blues!

Somehow firstly i thought this was a completely artificial stuff generated by AI... but then realised there were too many identifiable details and then saw a label in the corner

There's something unsettling about sitting inside, on one of the first warm summer days of the year, watching a park on my monitor.

I'd suggest adding some sort of indication or a button, to get user interaction required for a playback to start. Some users might have video and audio autoplay disabled (thanks modern websites, with your autoplay shenanigans). I was just staring at a static picture for a minute.

Amazing. I think I'll keep a park open in the background while working!
