This article discusses how Downtown Los Angeles is portrayed through the videos people have posted on YouTube.
A community rich in culture can make for more interesting viewing (1) because more artists are there to do the filming and (2) there is more art/culture to be filmed.
LA Downtown News Online: "Type 'Downtown Los Angeles' into YouTube and dozens of Downtown scenes arise from the Internet ether. Some are inane personal vignettes, like a 10-second car ride through the Second Street tunnel. Others are poignant, such as a music video juxtaposing Skid Row with Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
"With images of a colorful, painted elephant featured in the artist Banksy's warehouse exhibit last month, a drive through traffic on the 110 Freeway, military helicopters flying in between the skyscrapers, concerts like the recent Detour festival, rallies and loft tours, the videos capture Downtown's disparate facets, suddenly all visible at once."
