My travel to Italy: Cinematic Short Film on OLD iPhone
Last autumn of 2024 we visited Lake Garda in Italy and explored beautiful spots around it like Verona, Sirmione, Salò, and more! This video showcases some of my favorite footage, all captured with my iPhone 13 Pro Max.
I'm on a journey to enhance my filmmaking skills, experimenting with music, sound, and color grading to create a more cinematic feel. There's so much to learn, but I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the beauty of Lake Garda in Italy.

Feliz año nuevo🙏.
Love this. You're probably the lone UA-camr I've discovered who makes beautiful lifestyle content in China.
Muy bueno tanto las imagenes como la musica👌🎶🎥.
BRAVO 🎉🙌🏽✨
THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️ feeling creative the past few days
Beautifully shot and graded! Could have fooled me that this was shot on iPhone! 👏🏼
Thank you! Was pushing myself to learn something new in adobe premier pro and also use some old footage🤭
Wow - Shanghai looks so cool and amazing! Love the video! ❤
Beautiful video,stunning architecture.😊
hiii welcome back and thank you! glad you like it
You have a wonderful eye for filming. This is so enjoyable. Thank you!
Hi Elizabeth, I appreciate this a lot! thank you.
Beautiful filming
Thank you!!❤️
I watched hundreds of Paris vlog and you popped up. Wow this is such an amazing aesthetic. Do you mind sharing what camera/phone you used for taking this videos? I just subscribed because this is such an amazing aesthetic
hello! thanks so much and that's a really nice comment :) These were all shot from my Iphone 13 promax.
This is so beautiful !!! Also you’re almost at 2K subscribers! Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It has been a long journey and still on that journey ❤️ thanks for all the support. I hope that this video can help me hit the 2k mark🙏🙏🙏
@@JohannesLee absolutely! Cannot wait to celebrate your first 10K subscribers soon! I know you’ll make it! You have amazing content!
Love it! Atmospheric, vivid colours/saturation. Wong kar wai in d making. Keep it up!
wow!!! truth be told that's what I was tryiiing going for! very retro style
Very nice! As someone who only has an iPhone 12 and no proper camera, this helps to see others who make great videos with the same equipment!
I've a Canon Mark II but never used the video feature. I just want something handy when making a video! but hope this inspires you! I've seen other using even older iphone model with stunning shots.
Great efforts ❤
Great to hear from you and thanks so much!!! :) a lot of time and effort learning adobe :P

thanks so much Ashley, I pray that we have a great 2025 then!! Cheers!! glad to have a fellow vlogger too :)
❤ watching your videos. I lived in the FFC for 2 years. So nice to see my old neighborhood.
Oh nice! Do you still live in Shanghai? It's my first time living here in this area after 15 years lol love it
Great vlog Shanghai is amazing city Greetings from Poland🌹

Shanghai is so pretty 😍
Bro your music selection is top tier goated!
Thank you so much! Glad you like it and welcome!
Hello do you remember how much did you pay in terrakotta? Thank youu
Hello! Should be around RMB 400 to 500 I think
Love your style and aesthetic. You explain things so well. Can’t wait for more!
Im very happy to share my learnings!
Wonderful creation! Do you considering selling some of your art pieces?😊
Oh maybe I should consider 🤭🤭🤭
Another informative video! Thank you so much. I love that you show examples of what you are talking about. It's so helpful. You have such a great aesthetic and style and you explain things so well. I really enjoy your content and have been a subscriber since almost the beginning - all the way from the USA. You have beautiful photography. Do you ever sell your work? I particularly love the cable cars photo at 14;46 and would love to purchase a print or digital copy if they are for sale!
Hey Michelle glad to hear from you again! 🙋♂️I never thought of selling but if someone wants to buy and share my art why not 😍😍😍
And happy to know that you find it useful
Love it!
Thank you John!
tokyo is definitely not a coffee lovers paradise... their coffee shop game is very weak. south korea is very strong in their coffee shop game.
South Korea for sure. I've actually never been to Japan so I don't know 🤭🤭 though coffee culture here in Shanghai is great!
Congrats on 2024 and I’m sure 2025 will be a great one for you and your channel! I really love what you’re doing so keep it up!
Thank you Johnny for your always supporting. Means a lot ❤️
Very Nice! Cheers to a more bountiful 2025!
hey hey! great for you to drop by and thank you! cheers to a great new year to you too!🥂
Hey Johannes! Huge congratulations on hitting a full year of consistent content creation! That’s such a huge milestone. It’s no small feat to stay motivated and consistent (talking from experience, ha), especially when it’s so easy to get caught up in numbers. It’s totally normal to care about your channel’s growth, you don’t want to keep watering a plant without seeing it flourish. But trust me, your efforts aren’t in vain. You’re doing exactly the right thing by experimenting with different types of content and finding what resonates with both you and your audience! I personally love your home styling videos and your vlogs around Shanghai. Your channel feels like a refreshing blend of a semi-silent vlog style, and I’ve really enjoyed it. Shanghai is such a fascinating city, and it’s great to see more people becoming curious about it. Your channel definitely has a unique edge there ☺️ I’m excited to see what the next year holds for you. Keep doing what you’re doing, because you’re on the right track. Wishing you all the best for another fantastic year of content creation! With love from London!
Hi Lexa! Great to know I've a viewer from London! and wow thank you for such a heartfelt message! I truly appreciate your kind words and support. it’s comments like yours that keep me motivated. Do you/did you have a youtube channel? Wishing you a great start of the year!
Just finished this in my phone while also playing in our TV room! 📺😊 Next to PH & China, Viet Nam is a fave in Asia too! If you have lettuce on the table, usually they use it as a wrap. That’s what I learned from the locals from my travels there. Try Mui Ne as well, where you could find the scenic sand dunes, like a mini-Sahara Desert. Went to Mui Ne but unfortunately, was raining on those days we were there so it’s still in the bucket list. Happy new year @JohannesLee! 🎉 Wishing you both and your loved ones many more blessings ❤🎁🪴🥳
great to see you back and enjoying my video! I loooove Vietnam now and would love to go back and explore, great food, hospitable people and money goes a long way as I think it's not yet overly saturated with tourist....i think :P
@ I know the feeling! 😆 Viet Nam’s food & shopping are quite fascinating. And coffee! ☕️❤️☕️Waaahhh, one of the best in Asia! Have you guys tried the coffee sold via the street stalls?! So rich & thick. I heard of trains traveling from Beijing to Hanoi but not sure if they still run. Would be good to try those! I remember that one needs to travel over 2 nights, but it sounds exciting, to see those beautiful sceneries outside the window. We met a very kind old man there, will send u the link to my blog. It’s a very heartwarming story. Thank u again for another nice vlog! 👏🏽Happy travels!!!
Cau lao gang!
Great vlog! I wanna check out Hoi An now! The vibe, food, shopping and scenery look amazing.
Love it!
👍❤how I miss that Bahn Mi
Happy accident!
🎉🎉🎉🎉 woooohooooo another vlog!!!
You guys are in hoodies… it’s cold? I’m surprised!
Yes! It was cold indeed and yeah surprising for us too!
I never realised (in my time there) how international Shanghai was with the menus written in English and all😂 pls come to Europe you wouldn’t entice me to go there😂😭 Ps I see all black starting from minute 12 sthish, idk if it’s just me though!
oh not sure! so far it's ok from our end. and yes very international here especially the menus. That's why the foreigners who live here can get by with basic English unlike their counterparts in Beijing. The foreigners there speak more fluent mandarin and with BJ accent too lol
A real Shanghai dweller... moaning about Pudong so far away! :-) Love your vlog,
Ikr!🤭 and thank you ❤️
Love your videos and really makes me wanting to move to Shanghai! Do you also look for talent that want to become an expat in Shanghai?
That would be lovely. Where are you coming from? I search for talents as per instruction from clients. Though lately it's a more localized maket where local experience and language is important unless the person brings something to the table that justjfies in hiring a foreigner. Hope this helps.
great video, really enjoyed it
Thanks so much!!! Appreciate it
