No, I didn't see a cargo ship anywhere in New York Harbor. But I did see a giant aircraft carrier called USS Intrepid in Manhattan. My personal thoughts about the video was that the title of the video said building the world's largest ship in 76 seconds. That made me think that they were fast forwarding the video. One thing that stood out was all the machines they were using to build the Cargo Ship.
1. I saw a ship like that that was converted into a museum: the Intrepid.
2. My thoughts about the video is that it is looks alot like the machinery has a mind of it's own.
3. Something that stood out to me is that the yellow pillars moved back and forth like skates.
I have seen those ships when I went to Chelsea Pearce. I think that the video was cool because I didn't know how cool it is to see how a ship are made. What stood out to me was,that the ships were made in parts, it reminds me of Legos, and how you build what you have to build part by part.
No, I have not seen a ship as big as that ship in the city. I have not seen a ship as big that one because that ship is huge. I think the clip is very interesting.

2. I wonder how long it actually took to make the video.
3.Seeing how it turned night and day in just 1 minute. (and 16 seconds.)
1. Yes.
2. It was cool. I think they took a lot of pictures of the boat being built and played them really fast all together.
3. What stood out to me most is that day and night went on and off after like 5 seconds. This is how I knew what I said in answer 2.
1. no I have not seen any ship that HUGE before. I am not to sure but that is what I remember at the moment.
2. My thoughts on the video are that it's amazing that there is a ship that big in real life.

Yes I have seen 1 half way built and 2 whole.
I liked how they took 50,000 pictures and put them together to make a 76 second video.

I have never seen one of those ships in New York harbor before, but I have seen one under the Verazzano bridge. My thoughts about this video were that the angle of the video made the video much more dull for me than I thought filming it at another angle would make it. Something that stood out was the color of the boat, I thought that it might be black but it was light blue and crimson!
No, I have not seen container ships before. I thought the video was so so because the beginning was sort of confusing ,but when the ship kept on forming the video got more and more understandable. One thing that stood out to me was that during the building of the ship it seemed like the process of building something out of Legos.
1. I have seen many of those cargo ships when I'm driving with my mom on the FDR drive into Brooklyn.
2. I thought the video was so good. Now I know how these ships are put together. I didn't know that so many people were needed.
3. One thing that stood out to me the most was how many days and nights people were working to put one ship together.
I do not remember physically seeing one of those ships, but I have lived in New York City long enough that I probably really saw one in my life. I probably just don't remember me actually seeing one.
I am very impressed that the video is made out of 50,000 pictures. I am also very impressed at the colossal size of the ship. Those machines must be doing a lot of work on that ship!
What stood out to me was fast everything was moving in the video and how big the machines were that were building the ship. I was also impressed by how much stuff was being loaded on that ship.
I think I have seen large ships like the one in the video. In NY harbor and others. My thoughts about the video are that the ship must have taken a very long time to build and that the music is very pretty. I also thought that " Holy cow thats one big ship!". Also I think that the Titanic was bigger than that ship. They must have been exaggerating. One thing that stood out to me was that it showed work day and night so they must of had a fixed camera to record it all. Happy Easter.

2. I thought the video was cool because I could see all of the parts of the ship being put together.
3. There were many things that stood out as I watched the video.
- the temporary bridge that allowed people to walk over.
- how the views of the ship switched while I watched the video
- how the water rose and drained so other ships could pass.
If I had to pick one that I noticed the most it would be how the ship really started looking like a ship when the pieces were put together and it was painted.
I have seen big ships like that on the water but I have never seen one docked. I think the video was really cool because the machines would just pick up a big piece of the ship and put it together. One thing that stood out the most was how many machines it took to build it.
I have seen a crew ship in new york i saw in Manhattan in the water.
My thoughts about the movie was where is the crew ship going,what is the ship holding. The thing that stood out was they had huge cranes to connect parts of the boat and i noticed the video was going fast when it really takes a year or years because it is i giant ship to carry cargo to other places and continents and countries. So the other places that are pour can have more money and stuff like that.
Yes I have When I was at the navy yard.I think the video is very cool because you get to see a boat being created.Nothing much yeah nothing.
Yes I have seen a ship that big before. Actually I have seen two ships that big before. One was a cruse ship and the other one was a pirate ship. I think the video was very interesting, fast and amazing. Because the video was fast, that made it more amazing, so that made it more interesting. What stood out to me was when it was dark out and the ship was lit up.
I saw one in Puerto Rico that was in the carbian. My thoughts about the video are, who made the video and why did they make it? One thing that stood out to me are how big it was and how the maker of the video made it go so fast.
1.No i have not
2.That even in when it's sped up ships take a long time to build.
3.That it took like 5 cranes to build.
No. I thought how they made it,it was cool.What stood up to me after watching this it thought to me that I was in that place and I was building it.
I'm not sure if I have seen one of those ships before. It really stuck out to me how fast the video was and that it was made up of 50,000 photos. I think the video is really cool.

2. I thought the video was amazing. I saw all the super sized equipment that is used to build one of these ships.

No, I have never seen a big ship being built in NYC harbor. My thoughts about the video are that they use so many big pieces to make the ship and it looks cool. The one thing that stood out to me the most was the huge crane and how it lifted the pieces of the ship.

2.it was cool
3.i never knew it was like that
1. I have seen one. It was near the statue of liberty.
2. My thoughts was that the video was very interesting.
3. What stood out to me was the speed of the video.
I have seen one of those ships in Red Hook and when we were driving over the Verrazano Bridge we saw one sailing into NY Harbor.
I thought the video was interesting and cool because I like how it showed the different stages of it being built. I also liked how it showed the boat being built very quickly but in real life it would take a long time.
The most amazing part to me in the video was how they drained all of the water out. Then they placed a large wall to keep the water out so that the people could build the ship.
I have seen and been aboard a big tugboat ship but I have not seen a ship like that anywhere. I think its cool how when they made the video go fast they showed different angles so you could see different perspectives how it was being built. What stood out the most is it is like a lego set being built. You can see it being built block by block.
No I have not seen one of those ships anywhere. My thoughts about the video is that I liked it because the video was short and you could see how to build a ship. The thing that stood out to me the most is how they built the ship and how when they messed up they just did it again. those are just a few things of what I thought about the video i liked.
I have seen those kind of boats and on them there was lots of big boxes.I think the video was interesting .the thing that stood out to me most was the part when the boat was sailing out of the harbor.
I have seen a lot of boats like that before. The introduction says that this is pictures turned into a video. I think that’s cool and interesting, and that you can see how animation works! When I was watching the video I noticed that the boat was mostly built by machinery. I was surprised to see so many machines involved in the actual building.
I have seen these ships a lot every where near the ocean. My thoughts about the video are that it is amazing
how people our size can build such a huge ship!The thing that stood out to me most was how big it was.
I have seen some of those ships in the water but never in a dock. I thought that the video was very interesting because I never new how cool it was to see a ship being built. I also liked the video because I get impatient a lot and it takes along time to build a ship and it was really cool to see a ship being built in 76 seconds. What really stood out to me is that I never new that ships were built in sections.
1.- I have not see one but I wish I would (If i have time)
2.- It was a very cool video with a lot of things that people could use for construction.
3.-What stood to me the most was that it DAYS to build it!!
Yes I have seen one of these ships it was carrying containers right under verrazano bridge.
My thoughts are how much material there is. And how much it cost.
What stood the most after watching the video is that all the people working day and night for 24 hours until they finish the boat.
Yes, I have seen these ships docked in Brooklyn Harbor while going to Fairway. I have also seen these ships in the Hudson while traveling upstate. I thought the video was cool. I liked seeing all the materials they used. I also like the way the video was sped up. One thing that stood out the most is the way they built it. It looked just like building a ship from Legos.
I have seen one of those ships in new york. I like it it was cool. the one thing that stood out to me is the ship.
Yes, I have seen ships like that on school trips.
The thing that stood out to me the most was all the machines working together to build the large ship,
that's also what I liked most about the video.
Yes, I have seen ships like this as I drive along the Belt Parkway to our beach club. I liked the video because it is so cool that they can make such a large ship. And that I can see it happen so quickly. What stood out to me is that they put prebuilt pieces of the ship together.
I haven't seen one unless it is a cruise ship. I thought that it was cool that it was so big. The thing that stood out to me was how fast it was.
Adam K said...
I have only seen a cargo ship in pictures and a video. I liked the video and how it showed the ship being built piece by piece. One thing that stood out was that they put the boat int eh water before it was done.
Yes by the statue of liberty. My grandparents went on one a few weeks ago. I liked it. It reminded me of building with Legos. That they spent day and night building the ship from big pieces.
1.no
2.inspiring
3.years and months
I had never seen a container ship in New York's harbor. It took a million days and a long time to build the container ship but the video showed us just in a few seconds. The thing I stood was this yellow moving thing.
I have never seen a big cruise ship type boat in New York before. I have seen a ship like that before in some places on vacation. I thought the video was pretty cool because it was in fast motion. One thing that stood out to me was that the ship was really big and the cars and trucks were small.
No i have not seen a big ship. My thoughts about the video was cool because all the ships. the one thing that stood out to me was building the ship.
Yes. I have seen a boat like that before. I saw the Intrepid which is now a museum. I liked the video because it looked cool how they made the ship. The part that stood out to me was how many different things and tools they used to build the ship.
XAVIER J
Yes I saw a ship like before by Chelsea Piers. The video was inspiring because it showed how much work it takes to build a ship. What stood out most was how big the equipment was to build the ship.
Yes I have seen those types of big ships before. I saw a big cruise ship by IKEA with my mom. My favorite part of the video was when the ship left the harbor at the end.
No I never seen one of these ships. It was not exciting. I was not interested in the video and did not like it. Because I did not find it very interesting nothing stood out to me.
I have not seen one of those ships because i almost
never go to New York harbor.
I think the video was a little bit hard to understand because the video was going so fast.
I think that it is kind of cool how they sped up the video.
No, I don't remember ever seeing one of those ships. I thought the video was interesting because of the way it showed how it was built. The thing that stood out to me most after watching this video is the fact that the ship was so large and grand.
1.Yes, I've seen a ship coming from Italy in the Hudson River
2. I think the video was a bit confusing because at first a I thought the people were building a stadium. But when the video almost came to an end, I thought it looked like a ship.
3. One thing that stood out to me was how the people were making a ship day and night.
I have seen one of those ships by the dock by Fairway. I thought the video was really creative because it showed a huge ship getting built. I really like how you saw the workers painting the ship. I was amazed by the stencil they put on the ship.
I have never been to the New York Harbor but my sister has told me about her visit. She saw a huge ship called Ship #1. It was so big that she said it scared her. I saw big ships when I went to the beach at Coney Island and when I visited my grandparents in Florida. When I see these big ships, I wonder about who the people are on the ships, where they are going and whether the ship is going to tip. My thoughts on the video is that it is very interesting and cool. The thing that stood out to me is that it is fast motion and it has beautiful ships.
I have seen a ship from the new york harbor. I think the video was fun because I got to see a ship being built. What stood out to me is how big the ship was after it being built.
no. I haven't seen a container ship being built. But I have seen many very large ships, because I go on a cruise every year. I like the video because you can see the different stages the ship is put in. What stood out to me is how they put it together by layers.
