THE END OF THE LINE - ROCHESTER'S SUBWAY
...SHOOTING "THE PHANTOM RUN"

I thought some folks here might appreciate a look at our phantom run of Rochester's Subway.

The challenge: to recreate a trip through Rochester, New York's Broad Street tunnel.

The execution required the use of a Steadicam, several high powered flashlights, and multiple takes. The resulting piece replicates the perspective of a motorman driving through the entire mile and a half of the abandoned tunnel. Dreamlike and unreal, only the missing tracks remind you that it is somehow impossible.
