2m 27s: Lenght

I was in Japan with a traveling theatrical show when the earthquake hit. At the time, I was on the 5th floor of the Bic Camera building in Tokyo, just to the south-west of Tokyo International Forum where the show was to play that evening. This is video I recorded on a point and shoot camera. The quake had been going for more than a minute when I started recording. :10 large jolt which caused me and the elderly Japanese man in the frame (as well as the employees at the counter in the background) to nearly lose our balance. At this point, I knelt down to stay stable, and the camera tilts as I'm kneeling :14 notice the carts on wheels rolling out of position 2:02 Some small boxes of product have fallen to the floor. I'd been turning the camera sideways for portrait shots all day, so out of habit I turned the camera to better frame the shot forgetting there's no way to correct this when you watch a video! 2:20 some books that had fallen off the shelf. The high-pitch electronic beeping is all the anti-theft alarms going off on the displays around me - they tend to mask the sound of the building shaking. I was fine, as was everyone else associated with the show from the US and Japan.
