Good job! It is really cute.

It's great, BP. Well done. I liked the music, too.

I had always known how they met (at the law firm. She was reluctant to go out with him, etc.) but I hadn't heard about the museum and the drink on top of the John Hancock building. It's very cute.

Cute. That sounds like a really fun first date, too.

oh, wait... I watched the video and commented without reading the whole thing. because I am an ass.
you made that? so awesome! the city shots are great, they make the story more "real" than just two people talking.

Thanks, y'all! And yes kelly, I asked for all of those shots of Chicago... I'm a sucker for time-lapse video. Our camera guys have been known to complain when they hear I want a 20-minute shot of a skyline or whatever, but in this case our cameraman (Jared) gave me all these great long, stable shots without me even asking. SCORE! That shot looking up the signpost on Michigan Ave. with the clouds billowing by was the money shot, to me.

The skyline was a cool shot. I honestly don't think I've ever been up so high in a building before. The tallest in buffalo is only 40-something, and I've never been to the top.
Huh. I never really thought about it, but I don't think I've ever been beyond the 20th or so floor in a building anywhere. How bizarre. Now I feel like some sort of country bumpkin.

OK, this made me laugh:
How they met: Cindy McCain reveals his brazen approach
If she thought it was brazen imagine what his wife thought!

Awwwww. Very cute. And very well produced.

That shot looking up the signpost on Michigan Ave. with the clouds billowing by was the money shot, to me.

Eponysterical?

Anyway,

BREAKING .... MICHELLE OBAMA GETS FACTS OF LOVE STORY WRONG ...

The 99th floor of the John Hancock Center is where the machinery and the neon lights are. The observatory is actually on the 94th floor, and the lounge is on the 95th and 96th floors. (Formerly, and for the time in the story, the bar was named Images.)

That shot looking up the signpost on Michigan Ave. with the clouds billowing by was the money shot, to me.

Eponysterical?

Well, there is that. I work my fascination with city architecture into my stories whenever possible.

Wow BoPo. I saw that Obama Revealed program last weekend. I thought it was great. I used the information gained to bore my girlfriend with a badly remembered ad-nauseum recount of his life.

Girlfriend: What happened to his mother?
Me: She died? In a car crash?

aww! What's your job there exactly?

"I work my fascination with city architecture into my stories whenever possible."

I picked up on that shortly after you showed me Lola Rennt. Whenever I see establishing shots on CNN that are framed more like architectural studies than mere video of buildings, I wonder if you were behind it.

Now "when they hear I want a 20-minute shot of a skyline", they buy a newspaper and a cup of coffee.

BP you are awesome. Just freaking awesome.

That's awesome BP. You are very talented! I like how you put all that together, the sights, the interviews, and the music. Makes me wish I did something cool and creative in my life.

BP: I'll have to look at this from my Windows computer at the office tomorrow. Can you ask your corporate overlords why with Safari on the Mac does the CNN video links just go to the video section's homepage and whatever the latest video starts playing? When I clicked now it is video of the Japanese Prime Minister resigning which is interesting but not what I expected when I click on the link. Hell, maybe they all met each other at Harvard and he played cupid? Pretty incongruous to your post and all the comments. This happens every time I get a link to CNN videos.

If they don't want to support Safari for Mac because the market share is too small tell them that Fox News and MSNBC are fair and balanced at least when it comes to operating systems and browsers.

Hey, I tried to post a comment saying how great this was last night, but...something went wonky. So, it's today. I really liked it BoPo!
