Everyday Engineering is an underrated YouTube channel (with under 2k subs!). Most of the clips from Hoboken were from his channel. Give it a watch! [ Ссылка ]

Another great video sourced about Hoboken is this one by Streetfilms shot by Clarence Eckeron Jr. : [ Ссылка ]


If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

If you want to know HOW I make my videos including gear, lighting, all the tiddly bits that connect it all together, (with cheaper alternatives and kit I used to use), I've listed each item, what it's great at, and why I use it on the gear section of my website here:
