I just don't understand the talent. This is ridiculous - you are so incredibly talented mate!!! To visualize a shot, frame rate, angles of in camera movement, to post production, sound design. It's just... masterpiece, no other words. Inspiring to us Filmmakers.
"UA-cam travel filmmakers", step back, take a seat and watch as the master returns and shows you how it's done! Another absolute masterpiece, that one won't fully appreciate even after multiple viewings 👏
Leonardo Dalessandri… The world will remember this name as the man who inspired thousands to become video editors… This one is just another masterpiece like Watchtower of Turkey 🇹🇷💛🇨🇳
We wait seven years! And I think you're making a good choice to choose China. Even though without recognizable background music, this still feels like a memory from the past. If only you knew, people trends right now is making short cinematic video with your background music "Experience" without knowing you're the first to influence us.
Only filmmakers and editors can really appreciate this masterpiece the precision editing, sound design and hours of footage and shot selections thanks for keeping us inspired 👌🔥
Amazing to see your work yet again, with updated set of tools. Incredible to see that your work is unbeaten even though Turkey inspired tens of thousands of videos!
This brings me to tears. The humanity, the deep understanding of what it is to be us is what blows me away about Leonardo’s work. Yes, he’s technically leagues above most of us when it comes to capturing and editing. But it’s what he is showing us that is true testament to his talent. Not one frame is accidental or wasted, and all are imbued with depth, story and meaning. This is 21st century storytelling at its finest.
Work like these are very rare now a days and takes a lifetime to create it! , You created a benchmark when you did Watchtower of turkey, this is just beyond that! Impossible is nothing for you! Master🙌🏼
I have just listened to Polo, the Chinese producer of this film, sharing about the whole production process of this film during the past 7 years. Thank you for making this film, which gives me a bird's eye view of my country again. I didn't expect that she is so～ beautiful and so colourful. Thank you all for your efforts!
Nah... Nah nah nah nah !!!!! I refuse to accept you have juste 350k views on this video !!! This is not a video, this a pure piece of ART ! I LOVED IT, rewatched it 10 times, listened it 20 times, this is a MASTERCLASS ! Thank you so much
"They have an energy of moving forward together as they draw power and inspiration from a culture that looks back over thousands of years, yet rushes fearlessly towards a bold future." You certainly managed to portray that. 👏
Nothing to say, just a masterpiece. This guy is a real genius. It's a shame that the video, which took so much effort and time, received so few views. I hope UA-cam recommendations will someday eliminate this injustice.
I was looking at the metrics for the video from Turkey, and it only managed to reach more than 5 million views in the very long term. Maybe the same will happen with this video from China.
I remember watching Watchtower of Turkey 7 years ago and it completely blew my mind. This new technique was so unique that other people started replicating it too, they're all really good in their respective ways too but we all know you were the pioneer on this platform. We see it in movies too but not to this extent. I can't believe you produce a Chinese version of it, can't wait to see more of it! ❤️ I can't imagine the effort that went into making this, must be gruelling 😭 Also I really love the occasional silence in between transitions.
What a great video... I love how you capture the essence of a culture and make it visually appealing... no wonder it takes years of shooting and editing! Great Job Leo and the Team.
After watching the interview, I'm more grateful for your love for China, put down your prejudice, and blend in and feel like water! Thank you for letting more people feel the diversity of China, cities and villages, different nationalities, different living habits, and the happiness of different people through your film! As a film and television practitioner, thank you for driving the new editing techniques, so that we can learn and open up our world! as a chinese ,thanks .
Sapere che sei italiano e che ispiri così tanta gente con i tuoi capolavori mi fa sentire onorato. Grazie di tutto! Mi fai venire i brividi con ogni tuo film, complimenti davvero 🔥🙏🏻
Once or twice a month I return to watch this masterpiece. I can't fathom how much thinking, planning, and hard work you put into this. Keep inspiring us! You're truly a legend!
Dear Crew and Leonardo! My favourite video on this entire platform is Watchtower of Turkey, saw it many years ago and I get back to it again and again. I can't tell you how much I rate your art, the depth of the knowing of film making is an incredible for a layman like me. I remember when I saw the movie of Turkey for the first time, my eyes were watering because of the climbing tension and the amount of high intensity, this happened again when I saw this movie. If someone can create an impression like this, it is pure art for me. Thank you for your passion and hard work and for the video, it's beautiful in every way! :))
Unreal... I remember your Watchtower of Turkey so clearly from years ago, but it's incredible to see how much you have honed your craft to the point of creating something of this magnitude. It's literal perfection of execution in color, shots, sound design, visual connection of shots, etc. Truly amazing!
The essence of modern Chinese society: Conflict and balance. Rich VS Poor; Developed VS Undeveloped; Modern culture VS Ancient traditions; Technology VS Spirit; Western VS Eastern; Government VS People. She is so old, so there is so much in her. There is conflict, and also balance within. Her people may be struggled now, but this ancient culture will find her balance. Things have always been this way. I spent time studying traditional Chinese culture, communism philosophy theories and taking modern western college education. I have traveled around Asia and America. This video put my lifetime discoveries into 4 minutes, and it's so accurate. What a masterpiece.
Everything is in harmony and visually appealing. A grandmaster, a genius and his art. You are the inspiration of filmmakers. You did it again after a long time. A film that we will always look back and constantly find new details, learn new techniques on cinematography. Phenomenal work.
That this video only has 141K views at the time of this comment is a travesty. One of the most beautifully produced, immersive pieces of content out there. I can’t even.
I literally cried watching this video. The emotions you were able to make me feel through this godly editing were so dense... Man, you are on another level
The thing that's insane about your videos is that all the visuals (every. single. shot.) are like snippets from memories of the places you visited and everything you saw over there. And then you pace it all to a stunning track and go pretty much freestyle on the edit. Doesn't look pre-planned, more like instinctive. Absolutely masterful 👑.
What have I just watched...havent had goosebumps like this in a long time, the sound design is absolutely insane in this! The last minute was chills all the way through
love how true real and authentic this is, its good to see something so down to earth, really refreshing ! keep putting out more man people these days need such things and be shown that the real image is important not a only good side showing one, me included . not that this would be super bad, so many good sides too, but its so good to see something real, sometimes, this was jsut a great 4 min impression of the country and what it feels liek!
Che bello e bravo questo video è! Penso che sia un capolavoro nuovo! E sono un cinese abito a Milano.Sono molto commosso che posso vedere un video sul mio paese! Leo, sei fantastico!
This is so incredible. Watchtower of Turkey was special but this is on another level. You deserve much more recognition for your work than there is. The best videographer and editor in this industry by far.
I never, ever comment on videos, but this and the watchtower of Turkey are the best videos I have ever seen. So many people have copied this style, but your videos are just another level. Amazing!
I always asked myself: " Is Leonardo still alive??"... Years are gone in silence after publishing the legendary "Watch over of Turkey" and now I'm absolutely surprised and glad that the GOD OF TRANSITIONS and story telling is back :D :D :D I hope he doesn't let us wait again for so long...
I can feel love in this video. Thanks Leo and your team for three years of dedication, to make this thing possible. The content is this video is unimaginably massive! I really appreciate that we can have some great human beings to have the willing to know and understand this land, in such an unbiased way. Only love can be the answer. And his love is greater than most of the things in this world. 'This is not a goodbye', I assume the last part was trying to deliver a message as this, and looking forward to more great contents to come!
You are The GOAT. I thought there would never be another video that would surpass 'Watchtower of the Turkey', but you did it. 정말 진정한 마스터이십니다. 사실 전 이런 스타일로 편집된 영상을 좋아하진 않습니다. 왜냐면 바로 당신 때문에 나머지는 모두 아류로 보여지기 때문이죠... 남들이 따라하려 해도 따라갈 수 없는 경지의 것을 해내고 있습니다. 진심으로 존경을 표합니다. 이렇게 또 영감을 주셔서 감사합니다.
I can't believe another film in the watchtower series released. Watchtower of Turkey is one of my favorite videos of all time. This one is a masterpiece aswell.
It's probably the best short video compilation I've ever seen in my life. I wonder how many months it took for you to get together so many images and moments from such a vast country. Truly amazing ❤️
You are getting better and better at grasping the roots and feelings of a country. I'm glad someone can share the hidden beauty of China behind the political world. I used to live there and you brought back beautiful memories. Please keep doing this wonderful job. I traveled japan by hitchhiking from north to south and I'm now living there. I'm looking forward to see you here as there is also so many things to illustrate through your art! Thank you for those moments.
No way. 30 minutes ago I showed your "Watchtower of Turkey" video to my roommates and said them, that its one of my favourite videos ever (and I watch hundreds of thousands of videos). Your art is beautiful Leonardo.
При просмотре желательно не моргать, потому что пропустите какую то историю! Это что-то не вообразимое, я чуть не впал в транс, видео произвело на меня невероятный эффект и оставил странные чувства после просмотра, ничего лучше, что делают на этом канала я еще не видел!
Watchtower of Turkey was the most inspirational film for me and my small career in videography. I am a big fan of you and this video is for sure a proof that you have a lot to give, something that we are expecting. Thank you, well done and keep up the excellent work!
idk how he does it, but the impressions you get watching its just so great, so fast, and still stays in your head, the image litereally burns into your head even moving so fast, but all so smooth and , omg when did i blink last?, this was amazing
No wayyy! The legend is back! Another Absolutely insane masterpiece 🙏
You are his best successor！
Hey Benn 👋
why don't you come to china and make a BENN TK masterpiece?
Here bc Benn introduced me to your work 3 years ago. Amazing! 👏👏👏
@@yunzi6133MANTAFFFF
I subbed 7 years ago for this. Worth the Wait! 🔥
Fact!
This!!!
Yes !
haha same
Same here.
This one will inspire future videographers to start their career. Just like Watchtower of Turkey did with me!
Same ❤️
True
Same here!
Truth!

I just don't understand the talent. This is ridiculous - you are so incredibly talented mate!!! To visualize a shot, frame rate, angles of in camera movement, to post production, sound design. It's just... masterpiece, no other words. Inspiring to us Filmmakers.
It was done by an entire team over the course of 2 years. Collective effort
@@Jabree yes, but he did it alone before. so his point still stands. also 6 years, not 2, on and off is my guess.
"UA-cam travel filmmakers", step back, take a seat and watch as the master returns and shows you how it's done! Another absolute masterpiece, that one won't fully appreciate even after multiple viewings 👏
We don't all have the time and resources to spend years making a 4 minute video. We do the best we can.
@@vladislavno Of course not, but the passion and effort put into perfecting one's craft is definitely admired.
Leonardo Dalessandri… The world will remember this name as the man who inspired thousands to become video editors… This one is just another masterpiece like Watchtower of Turkey 🇹🇷💛🇨🇳
你好👋我来自中国
这是一份大师杰作！很感谢最新的作品是关于我的故乡的😊很开心《中国瞭望塔》将我的故乡的现代的一面和曾经的一面都表现了出来。
期待你未来更多更好的作品

He did it again. I felt like I couldn’t look away.
You are back ! so happy and the video is amazing great job man
Masterpiece, 感谢你见证并记录了中国的发展。一件作品，也是一个时代的结束。值得一生珍藏！
Jesus dude. This is a masterpiece!
Thank you for reminding me why I started video editing 💛

The timeline for this edit is probably just as much of a work of art as the final edit. Well done my guy, this is INSANE!
Ну наконец-то! Маэстро, мы долго ждали!😁👍🏼
We wait seven years!
And I think you're making a good choice to choose China.
Even though without recognizable background music, this still feels like a memory from the past.
If only you knew, people trends right now is making short cinematic video with your background music "Experience" without knowing you're the first to influence us.
Only filmmakers and editors can really appreciate this masterpiece the precision editing, sound design and hours of footage and shot selections thanks for keeping us inspired 👌🔥
It really is completely off the charts editing. I have zero idea how you’d even begin an edit like this - let alone FINISH it.
Amazing to see your work yet again, with updated set of tools.
Incredible to see that your work is unbeaten even though Turkey inspired tens of thousands of videos!
This brings me to tears. The humanity, the deep understanding of what it is to be us is what blows me away about Leonardo’s work.

If u watch this without sound, you really get a perspective of how well these shots are composed 🤯

Your view is what you are! Absolute legend. What a video!!
看了采访，更感谢你对中国的爱，放下偏见，像水一样去融入，去感受！也感谢通过你的影片，让更多人感受中国的多元化，城市和乡村，不同的民族，不同的生活习惯，和不同人的幸福！作为影视从业者，也感谢你带动新的剪辑手法，让我们能够学习，打开了我们的世界！
