Round and round central park jazz

After watching The Climb by Michael Covino and Kyle Marvin (click here for info about the movie), I was feeling kind of inspired to make a quick film of jazz music in central park. The Climb starts with friends Mike and Kyle cycling up the French alps; Mike reveals he's cheated with Kyle's fiancee and the rest of the story tells the tale of their friendship as it cycled through depths of betrayal to forgiveness to rebirth. The cinematography reinforces this cycle motif with its camerawork. For example in the 3rd chapter, the directors loop around the scenes interior of the house and around the house as they tell the stories of the characters of the family. I took this rotational panning ideas to cut snippets of rotating images of a jazz performance in central park... from the trees, to the ducks, to the trash cans, to the jazz performance.
