I just KNEW you were gonna go this direction with the aesthetic and damn did you deliver. Love your work dude! And massive extra points on setting up the opening shot and pulling in with a leading line.
I really like your sense for composition and the feel for a coherent work. From cinematography to photography. Thank you for showing us Japan in this way and form.
Very inspiring. The algorithm gifted this channel to me. I love the locked off video shots. I wish more people adopted this style. Love the photos too.
Although your images are superb I am always in doubt what to like more your video or your images cause your videos, in combination with the choice of music, are top notch, too. Excellent, thanks for sharing !
Thank you for showing Japan in such a monochromatic, peaceful manner. The music was the perfect pairing and watching this put me in a relaxed state of mind. I really enjoy your work and it's an inspiration for my own.
Not sure if you've been told, but I stumbled upon your videos lately; the only thing that I can say is, they're eye-catching. As if you want to grab a snack and just watch the videos till the end. Love your storytelling, and taste in photography as well as videography. Keep it up, it is awesome.
A lot of different elements coming together in the video to deliver a beautiful yet melancholic tone. I imagine Ivan could have made something similar from any small town that has it's best days behind it. Doing it in the dead of winter seems about right. 👍
Your B&W is beautiful as you deepen the shadows for a punchy image, just as I do. Love it! That unmistakeable sound of the FM2 shutter and wind on. I have the same camera. I think you will be making movies at some stage or a Director of Photography in the film industry judging by your videos. Such a joy to watch. I like the solitude your videos give me. A man of few words, which means you like the video and the photos to be the narrative. Just my thing.
@@ivunchow Well Ivan, your videos are on another level to anyone out there and your photography is too. Usually I can see the switch from a still image to video, but I got fooled many times watching this video thinking it was a still until I saw movement.
Watching this video is like a meditation. I find it peace. Love the black n white photography and the music. One quick question. How do you shoot yourself or is someone shooting you while you walk away?
There are only a few places and circumstances where you can set up a tripod with your camera mounted on it, hit record, drive completely out of sight, and then drive back to record yourself. Love it.
This is stunning. The compositions, layers, the depth and contrast, just beautiful. I really loved this video and your work. What’s the camera and lens set up that you utilized for the video?
Wow, I'm on a Ferrania P30 kick as of late and your B&W graded video almost looks like it was shot on Ferrania P30 film. Nice job, loved the photos too. I suppose you dumped the Nikon FM3a and switched to the FM2N. Have you tried the Ferrania P30 film yet?
Great visuals as always man. Seeing Takayama really brought back some memories for me. I'd love to see the onsen monkeys one of these days too and live the same life 7:55 lives xD
Very peaceful and inspiring video. Thank you for sharing.

Nice work. I enjoy your videos

Nice to see an alternative b/w view of the world, Ivan. It works well here.

Thanks Simon, means a lot to hear that 🙏🏻 Always been a goal of mine to do something filmmaking related, hope I’ll get an opportunity to someday!

Japan is one of those places 😂

Thank you! I’ll be doing a video soon about my video set up, stay tuned 👀
@@ivunchow awesome, will do and looking forward to it.
Wow.
Great video brother. Beautiful photos. What film stock were you using?
Great stuff. 28mm on the stills? I’ve always been a 50 guy, but man, something about 28 just draws you into the image.
Great one!
Are you using tilt-shift lens for taking this video?

FM3A still here, FM2 is an addition 😌😌😌
