There’s lots to love about Portland, and this video by Uncage the Soul Video Production captures some of the magic of the city. It’s nice to take a step back, even during busy times, and appreciate that we live in a truly fantastic area. The video highlights some notable parts of PDX - from its urban structures, mechanics, and mobilities to its active people, mountain tops, lush foliage, and delicious offerings. Not to mention, this is some darn good camera work!
Finding Portland from Uncage the Soul Productions on Vimeo.
Uncage the Soul screened the video at the sold-out TEDx Convention in Portland this April. Comprised of over 300,000 photographs, the team completed the video in 51 days and shot in more than 50 unique locations overlooking Portland. Specific locations and events shown include the Fremont Bridge, the Oneonta Gorge, Mount Hood, Mount Tabor, and Mount St. Helens, a Portland Timbers soccer game, a Blazers basketball game, the annual Shamrock Run, Voodoo Doughnuts, Powell’s Books, the Deschutes brewpub, and, of course, the famous White Stag sign.
Read more about the video on Vimeo or on Uncage the Soul’s project description page, which is complete with some stills from the shoot. To those who visit or those who live here, it’s apparent that this is a special place to be, or (as it states at the end of the video) to roast, brew, savor, hike, bike, travel, shop, create, love, laugh, and uncover.
