Dream Maps of New York City

Also last semester...I was trying to find ways to map real relationships between NYC film shoot locations and urban development. These maps are made using point-locations of over 3000 establishing shots from several hundred different films set in New York. The graduated color map of Manhattan (shown in white to red)is based on the intensity of population change by decade (1970-1980, 1980-1990). The 3-d graph on top of those mappings have height sources based on the normalized box-office revenues of films shot on their corresponding locations in Manhattan.

These drawings are made from a GIS model, so the real value is in having a simulation that I can continue to develop and query throughout the course of my research.
