New videos

[Martin Cassini]

No room on this site unless I delete other videos, which I might at some point. Meanwhile: The Road to Nowhere, Part 1 (7.33') - a tighter edit of an earlier piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBcz-Y8lqOg and The Road to Nowhere, Part 2 (5.07') - contains before-after footage and reaction to a lights-off trial I helped get off the ground in Portishead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi0meiActlU

Good to hear. Maybe it's a Vancouver or San Francisco-type thing, where empathy is the instinctive default culture.

Well done, Martin! Good vids. One observation is that you , and some of the bystanders expressing comments, talk about the hierarchy of the roads, eg. traffic is more important than pedestrians. Interestingly in Vancouver, where live, the majority of car drivers do stop for pedestrians to cross, even on main city roads, even if there isn't a light or stop sign. Sometimes, a car will stop if one happens to just stop to look at something on the other side of the street without an obvious intention to cross. I'm not sure when or how this culture started here, and it isn't necessarily a Canadian thing. Montreal, for example, is similar to London as far as pedestrian rights are concerned. But I am sure that the positive sentiments expressed on your videos are infectious and that your work will have an impact.
