You've really got to see how modern day Brisbane looks now compared to how it was in the past! This time, we focus on the Brisbane River - bridges, floods and general views.
Special thanks to local Brisbane artist Rory Daly (Illutible) for the music track "River".

great videos. OUR wonderful city🧡🇦🇺🐎🦁.
I remember Brissy from 1978 when I migrated to Australia and now I wish I could turn the time back to these years. Brisbane was such a lovely town then
but these days I avoid going there. It's just a concrete jungle with never ending building sites.
Really cool video thanks for uploading
My pleasure!
Good work on this editing. I enjoyed watching your video.
Cheers!
Brilliant piece of editing
@@rhyslauder Cheers! By the way, love the Blu Art Xinja dapper duck profile pic.
Love this series. Greatly put together, I bet it’s not easy to do this from finding the right angle and then editing 👍
There's definitely a lot of trial and error when it comes to lining things up (thankfully some editing aspects help hide a lot of the remaining error). Actually the thing I find hardest is finding the original historic photos. There's lots around, but it has to be from a location I know I can access, so nothing from above street level or from a boat etc, and a lot of checking on Google street view before I head out to get the video. It's extra challenging now, because there's so many areas blocked off for construction of buildings, roads and bridges that I had to rule out a lot of shots I knew I could have normally gotten.
But the one thing that has made this all a realistic endeavour is the Atomos Ninja V's "onion skin" function. It allows you to overlay a screen grab or still image over the video being recorded, so shots can be lined up in real time, rather than guessing and trying to manipulate things when I get home.
Nice editing to show the growth of Brisbane
Cheers!
These are so good. I love the way you combine the past and present imagery and transition them. Please do more. Kudos.
I do intend to do more. A little snowed under at the moment, but it will happen eventually!
👍🏻 excellent video
Thanks! Be sure to take a look at part 1 if you haven't already.
Wow, big improvement made in brisbane. Reminds me of a global city now 🍾 🥂 just need to get rid of some of the old eyesores❤😮
This is very cool
Cheers!
Nicely done! Thank you! 🤩
Thank you too!
riverside expressway was the shot that shocked me the most. queens wharf makes the area feel unrecognisable. definitely a city changing project
Yes, it's definitely changing the face of the city in a way you can't ignore (for better or for worse). And I'm interested to see how things look once the new bridges are completed as well.
@@BrisbaneChanneldefinitely looking forward to getting to kangaroo point by bridge I am
These are actually amazing! Please keep making them 😊
Cheers! I definitely will be doing more, but I may take a longer break after this one, as it was a bit of an ordeal this time 'round!
@@BrisbaneChannel oh no! Hope it wasn’t too bad. It is appreciated.
Just a combination of lugging my gear around in the hottest days, then accidentally deleting a full day's footage and having to do it again. I was planning to do one a month of this particular series, but I think I may wait 6 weeks instead of 4 before the next THEN/NOW video. We'll see what happens, anyway. I have a lot of ideas, but not necessarily so much time to make them happen!
Nice! Appreciate how much effort you put into this.
Cheers!
This is great because I was literally just over-consuming myself of old Brisbane photos, and so now many of them are already engrained in my mind, so the change is more meaningful 😊
I love the old photo, nice edit too.
Thanks so much!
Bit shorter than i had thought that it was going to be, but I still smashed that like button below & enjoyed what I had watched - definitely 💯% worth my time watching it all¡! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad you enjoyed it.
@@BrisbaneChannel 😉😉😉
Cool
Fascinating! Thank you for posting this. It's awesome to see then and now comparisons 😊
You're welcome!
Magnificent work, mate!
Thanks!
Love it
Excellent work. Love the transitions.
I was looking for a video like this. Thank you. I just watched some New York and San Francisco videos like this and was curious if there was any Brisbane City stuff. I personally love the old aesthetic looks from 1920’s to 1960’s more than modern but that’s my personal preference. Nice to see the old story bridge in development.
Glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out the other two as well.
@@BrisbaneChannel
Already have. Cheers mate.
@@DaniMacYo I guessed so, still worth mentioning in case. By the way, have you spotted any that use the same approach, blending from the old to new (or vice versa)?
@@BrisbaneChannel
Honestly not quite like yours. You have a better format. The others just show some images or videos with music and a side by side comparison. Or a transition.
That's a shame. I'm always hoping to find some that have similar of better ways of doing it so that I can get some new ideas.
Wow. I have been trying to do one of these in Darwin but don’t have the right type of camera for it. You got these spot on.
I don't think I'd be able to do it without the "onion skin" function that Atomos have recently added to the Ninja V (external monitor/recorder). I imagine changes in Darwin may be even more dramatic?
@@BrisbaneChannel darwin is a lot like your video. Somethings just don’t exist anymore but the majority is still there. I had to look up the ninja very impressive. What do you use to edit? Those transitions with the cars and people were mind blowing.
@@DroneKingsInDarwin I used to use Premiere Pro, but I switched to Davinci Resolve Studio in mid-late 2022. Would never go back!
@@BrisbaneChannel much involved in rotoscoping the figures? Looked spot on. I don’t think I can do that easily in FCP.
@@DroneKingsInDarwin No, the magic mask did pretty much all the work for cars in the first video. In this one, I did manually mask the guy and the car in the two flood shots. The car was static, so no worries there, but I did tweak the mask frame by frame for the guy walking.
The only place that really looks better is Walter Taylor bridge after they refurbished it. Everywhere else is a soulless concrete and glass graveyard.
What rubbish.
An excellent bit of editing. Well done. BTW, one of your POVs looking from Southbank to the city showing the Riverside Expressway was used by author & philosopher Alain de Botton in one of his videos to depict a badly designed & ugly city. You can see it at 1:10 - ua-cam.com/video/Hy4QjmKzF1c/v-deo.html Sad but true.
This city has collapsed. What a tragedy
The new star casino is an absolute eyesore
🤮
I think it's pretty ugly from a distance, but some of the details close up are quite nice.
Ala..."Brisvegas"... The definition of the "new world city" with "million dollar houses" driving out the remainder of the productive economy...
I like this video altitle better then most people try add in old to new. But you will have to ask alot of permitions from people when you steal photos. Your Brisbane city just looks amazing but looks very empty with hardly no one. When i watch other Brisbanier Vloggers on youtube which includes yours i notice the city is big enough but hardly no one around. And all you see is just business buildings but just empty walls of just tall buildings with boring cafes that looks fare too comercial for a business person to seat down or that alot of the shops in your city looks very empty but notice it was like that too well before COVID19.. How are you people going to deal with the Olympic games ? I cant imagined stress enough how tourism international people will enjoy a Brisbane city with just almost empty things other then just pretty nice tall business buildings and nothing else other then a ghostly city. Please dont say go to the Goldcoast beach because the Gold coast is not Brisbane city. Also the Gold coast city looks the same empty almost stores and hardly no one outside. But i love your videos a lot my respect. Just looks like a build up city with no one. Maybe australians are not out going. All you say is outgoing sports activity but that is very diferent then what im on about.
The photos are not stolen. All but two of them are free of copyright because of their age, which means nobody legally owns the rights, and the other two are used with the knowledge of the original photographer, who is linked at the bottom of the video description.
@@BrisbaneChannel i see not sure if it makes any diferences if its old or new the photos.. Belongs most likely from a family or member. Aniways i still like it very much., I keep saying this but your city looks some what (boring) but i hate to say it. Because theres not much going on. And when theres something on.......... its in a park with a small event with kids painting faces or something boring lifestyle. Just slow. Why is brisbane so like this???? Why australians seems like lazy people ? Please dont say everyones at home they all have big houses. But yet you have a big city where money is been injected and the city still looks as ghostly then what the start of the 70s and 80s was yet.
Not much of the city looks better. The new buildings near the river look terrible to say the least. Should be up to the citys people to approve buildings in these areas some of them are shocking.
The problem there is that what looks good or not is highly subjective.
And also, I think people get used to the particularly distinctive ones over time. I imagine the Sydney Opera House had it's fair share of critics when it was first built, but now it's iconic (not that I'm saying any of Brisbane's are in that league).
To be honest, there are not many big changes.
Really? I would call new bridges, construction of highrises and the riverside expressway pretty big changes!
What a horrible change against the better judgement of the people. Who did that? Not Brisbane!
