Empire State Building credits

On July 25, 1964, Andy Warhol accepted a friend's suggestion and began shooting "The Empire State Building." After a grand team-building meeting in a tavern, the crew composed of Andy and his six friends moved to the Rockefeller Foundation office on the 41st floor of the Time Life Building opposite the Empire State Building, and set up a machine lens aimed at the Empire State Building to prepare for filming. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the director inspected and inspected all types of work and turned them on. The camera began to run automatically. The next 6 hours of work consisted of walking over every half hour to see if the machine was still running. It is said that during the filming, a friend asked, "How long will the filming last?" Andy said, having an erection for eight hours. His friends told him to calm down, but Andy pointed at the Empire State Building and thought it looked like male genitalia.

Andy Warhol announced after completing the shooting: "The Empire State Building is a star! (The Empire State Building is a star!)"
