I truly love Japan. It's such an inspiring place for the creative mind.
It really is 🙂
I love this cinematic look 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
Other commentators can actually make more competent statements about the technology of the tools than I can. As you know, my main concern is what is ultimately created for me as a viewer as a complete work of photographic art - of course not forgetting the important equipment.
This video really gives me the impression that it is a trailer for a movie. The accompanying, very well-chosen music supports this feeling, including the audible but quieter real ambient noise in the background. Very well done, even with the included stills! As a viewer, I can immerse myself in your role as a scene or location finder. And some of the photos you show really look like scene examples. 3:18 - 4:45 - 4:49 - wonderful!
Some people seem - especially in the moving images - like participating, selected actors in your film. To pick out a few, for example the young couple from 3:47 to 3:51 or the two young people from 5:11 to 5:16 or the scene 6:43 to 6:46. The scene with the moving train from 7:48 to 7:58 is also really great. There are often only a few seconds that seem important to the overall plot.
I could analyze and select more examples that confirm my impression above. But that would once again go beyond the scope of a comment ;-). In any case, I have the impression that I often write too much and reading can be tiring for you.
However, I would like to mention something interesting: right at the beginning, before the night gets dark, you captured a few impressions of the “blue hour”. I really like that too.
And last but not least, a question: do you know the episode film by Jim Jarmusch: “Night On Earth”? If not, I recommend you watch it.
I do not know that film, so I’ll look it up!
And yeah, I did manage to shoot a bit during blue hour. I’d love to do a whole video during blue hour, but it's probably impossible to do in one session and might have to be shot over multiple days. Blue hour is just too short for me to switch locations and get enough footage for these videos 😅
But anyway, I’m happy you enjoyed the combination of stills, music, and video. You're not the first one to mention that it felt like a movie, which makes me happy, since I was thinking a lot about films I liked when I was shooting it and how I could convey what I saw and felt as I walked through Nakano that night.
Oh, and I never get tired of reading comments 🙂 It’s always a pleasure just to see that people take the time out of their day to watch what I make and leave some thoughts. Always a pleasure!
Thanks again and have a great week!
Man, I need to hit this place at night. Thanks for the nudge! The image at 7:10 is a fave. What a cool moment as he was laughing, etc.!
It's definitely got a cool vibe at night, so you’ll love it there 🙂
And thanks!
Great combination of walking footage and pictures shown. Every time I see one of your videos I want to go to Japan.
I really appreciate that! I hope you have a chance to come to Japan soon 😄
lovely
Thank you!
Remember, the sensor changes the field of view, and not the focal length of the lens. A 50mm lens doesn’t care whether you use and APS-C or full frame sensor. It’ll still be a 50mm lens.
Using Fujifilm, which is predominantly a cropped format system, it’s particularly important to speak the language of that system. Otherwise, we’re just being pedantic.
Great work btw. Inspiring!!
You are indeed correct 🙂
It’s one of those things that I perhaps understand, but when I talk about it, it's just easier to refer to the lens alone since that gets the point across. But you're right, it is important to refer to things correctly as much as possible. I’ll keep that in mind for next time :)
And thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Very cinematic ❤ Music and mood, looks like the opening of a damn cool movie...😊
You're too kind 😁 thank you so much!
Watching this, I think you'd really like Tsuruhashi area in Osaka!! If you even come by over here~ 😉
Ahh you’re not the first person to tell me that! I’m hoping to go to Osaka sometime this year! 😁
so good bro👏🏼😎
Thanks bro!
How do you like the cinebloom filters for photos? And when do you generally use them/ put them on your camera and do you prefer the 10 % over the 20 % or is there a certain use case for each that you can let me know thanks!
I generally don’t like using filters for photography. While I have used them before when shooting JPEG, I typically want my RAW files to look more natural and real.
Where I do use the Cineblooms a lot is for video. I like the visual effects that they add and would highly recommend them for that. I typically use the 10% more often, but the 20% can be fun at night with lots of neon/LED lights. For day use, I only use the 10%, if at all.
Hope that answers your question!
are all the video shot handheld? it wasnt obvious until i looked at the edges! crazy ibis performance in xt5
It is handheld! And yeah, the X-T5 handles it really well!
