  • This is a really great video. I lived in Tokyo for two years, about the time you posted this. So many of the street performers I have seen. I've showed this video to my family and friends back in NZ. Thanks for sharing, it's very well done!!

  • I don't get the hype. It's New York with more Asians.

  • @GroddGuerrilla

    Hmmm.

  • @GroddGuerrilla

    I really like Asians. I know some New Yorkers who are Asian.

    Hmmm.

  • you make the world so beautiful....such beautiful lies.

  • Silversun Pickups-Lazy Eye (Jason Bentley Remix)

  • Another great film Mark.

  • what's the music?

  • @123edmurph Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye ♫

  • where in tokyo is it in 2.40? want to no!!!

  • @55fumufumu its nice to like ur country but u r so over now.... dont watch tokyo's videos if u r complaining -_-

  • Unfortunately I have never been there yet, but I really love Japan. Japanese girls are beautiful, and Japan has the best technical stuff all over the world. :D

  • I love seeing videos like these! It's so wonderful to experience the culture through videos like these. :D Btw, Does anyone know the song from this video? It's really nice. xD

  • Really good job, im impressed.

    Some day... :)

  • What song s this? Love it..

  • hey, hope you enjoy my channel!

  • I fell in love with TOkyo and Japan yet once again!!

    That s indeed one of the best videos on youtube! Thank you very much for your beautiful work! =)

  • This is a FANTASTIC video...... It's been waaay to long since my last

    visit to Tokyo. Huge thanks for all your work putting this together (fantastic

    music choice as well!)

  • I love this remix of "Lazy Eye- Silver Sun Pick Ups". Have a source?

    You put alot of heart in the editing of this footage. I felt some emotion. The music went so well with it. Much like you did, I'm waiting for that moment as well.

  • 2:40 is that ruki from gazette?

  • Yeah, this video is great, too. Discover places, will travel, discover places..

  • One day

  • This is really amazing... speechless :)

  • Good job on this video

  • This is amazing!

    I'm planning on going to Japan, Tokyo myself!

    But, I do not speak or read any Japanese what so ever, will I have problems when I go there? Or do a lot of people there speak english/understand english, and are there english signs and what not?

  • @S33LiN4 not many speak English but don't be afraid to go, there is always a way to communicate even without language and sooner or later you're gonna find someone who does. In a way, going there without knowing the language will be like going with blurry vision, but still, even with blurry vision you can hear! haha, that doesn't make sense but hope you know what I mean

  • @1281247124

    i always wanted to go to japan. more like kyoto or osaka. i tried taking a japanese 101, so if ever do go i wont' get lost. but it was way too hard for me and not so good on memorization. but i'm afraid of what happened there won't be anything else left. they seem so down to earth and fun to hang out, especially the tokyo rockabilly club, that was cute. thanks so much for uploading this!!

  • @1281247124 I don't mean to be rude,but that sounds like it would be ass going there with "blurry" vision.That is one my fears of going there is how i'd get by without knowing any of the language and it sounds like it would be tough.How the hell am I suppose to find people that speak english there anyways?Yell out loud to a crowd that I only speak english and hopefully someone comes to my rescue?It's suprising to me because I heard that they all take english in school so you'd think have a basic

  • @whatever25 Yea I know that feeling like AAAAHHH I WONT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE I CANT TALK TO PEOPLE AAAAH, but words are only so much, it's like, you go into a restaurant, point at something, and they ask you something back and you look confused back at them, and then some guy sees you're in trouble and yells "hot!" from the otherside of the room and you understand that the girl was trying to tell you the food is spicy :P it's not a made up example it's just one example of me traveling

  • @whatever25 I can understand that it's not something for everyone but for me it was fun, and occasionally instead of someone yelling "hot!" it's someone explaining to you in fluent english, has happened to me too, protip: ALWAYS say their english is good, they'll be so happy :D

  • @1281247124 understanding of the english language.

  • you should feel very proud to know that this video couldn't have been done any better than you did. i hope to see more

  • i love this video relay makes me want to go to japan

    btw you got some really good shots. im getting a hv30

  • are you compensating for the lack of DOF by blurring the edges of the shots?

  • I believe he's got a wide angle attachment which is blurred on the outer edges

  • Lovely editing and the camera positions etc are so smooth and prefessionally done <3. love it.

  • WOW JUST WOW!!!

    -japan is such a beautiful country, i hope to be there some day, and aslo if its not too much trouble see if you can go to kyoto in the gion district and try to film the maiko and geisha! just an idea....^^

  • Very Impressive! This definitely captures Tokyo and does make me want to visit again.

  • WOW !!!!!

    5 stars !!

  • Wow, this is really good. I especially like the part that it looks like you were using a jib for the opening and ending shots(I assume you were really on an escalator) I also really liked the shot with the fish. It looked like they were floating above the people.

  • NICE!

  • i see vignetting, but love the observational camera angles, u rock man!

  • Hey Great Video, Great Music. This helped me make made my final decision to buy the HV30.

    Thanks...

  • The down right border is blurred so I don't understand if it is a built in effect, an add on adapter, or a post editing filter. Please tell us the truth!

  • Iv finally made an account and just to comment on this video...

    No video made me miss Tokyo as much as this one. good job love it.

  • WOW! You only have like 5,875 views, you should be in the 100,000's im rating this 5 stars out of 5. This was amazing.. Im getting this camera (what do i need for it)

  • silversun pickups- lazy eye ....

  • ive bin there last year.. Love IT

  • EXCELLENT VIDEO

    is this with the CINE image mode on or off?

    Whos the band?

  • 3:17 the music break, the track shot of the samurai.... epic win! we'll be doing this soon!!

  • Tokyo is the best place on earth.

    I wish I lived there.

  • Did you use a DOF adapter for some of these shots?

  • Beautiful! Well done! I've been to Tokyo two times this year and regret I didn't get a good recording cam to make a similar video like you did. But now I know what cam to buy and what to do next time I visit Japan that will be the end of this month! :D

  • Beautiful video. You've captured traditional and modern Japan perfectly!

  • By the way, Markus, how do I change the shutter speed? I've been looking for it but all I find is cinemode, 24p and others. There is a shutter text thing in the menu but it seems to be disabled. Help please!

  • Mark amazing great job!!!!

  • a masterpiece!

    I got my hv30 last week

    now i need to go to Tokyo...

    you sold me on both, thanks, markusman :)

  • Hi there. A little help please. I've been trying to upload my HDV 24P Cinemode video from my hv30 to Sony Vegas but it can't. Do you know what I should do? I would definitely appreciate any help. Thanks.

  • Me too! Got my HV30 last week!!! This video was the catilyst! I loooovvvee this song, too!

  • Hi Markus. I just got my Canon HV30 today at the customs office here in the Philippines. I paid its tax but it's okay. It's been two hours and I've been playing with it. Playing around with focus and defocus. It's fun. It's really great. I tried to upload it using SONY VEGAS but to no avail. How do I upload it to my laptop? A little help please!

  • Great. Your editing is really seamless. This could be used for a Japan travel video or something.

  • Song:

    Silversun Pickups "Lazy Eye"

  • did you put on a 35mm adapter for some scenes? because in the narrow DoF scenes, I see blurry edges. Which kind did you use?

  • Probably some kind of editing effect in Final Cut, I was seeing it too.

  • I need some help right now. Please help me guys. What's the difference between CANON HV30 and CANON ivis HV30? What is CANON Vixia HV30? I'm going to buy one. Which is it? Please help!

  • they're all the same camera, hope you'll love yours as much as I love mine!

  • Thanks Markus!

  • movienoob is right, I couldn't afford one of those nice 35mm adapter lenses, so I just simulated the effect in Final Cut Express using a vignette effect. it's nowhere near as cool as getting an actual lens, but much more affordable, thanks for watching!

  • It's not that hard to learn how to do the vignette effect on FINAL CUT EXPRESS, is it? A little tip for the dummies please. I would appreciate it.

  • it's not hard at all. you can adjust the size, the amount of blur, the amount of darkness, it's great.

  • im planning to go to tokyo and i was looking good camera...i guess this video is the one im looking for...shows the beauty of tokyo and shows the awesome camera hv30 is.. THANK U!

  • NIIICCCCE! Everything about this film ROCKS! (I call it "film" becouse it's much more than just a video.) If only I'd had my HV30 in Hong Kong all those years ago! Love S.E. Asia!

  • This video is amazing!!! You did such an awesome job! It really represents Tokyo well!!

  • Brilliant! This may very well be the best vid on utube! I've been watching as many HV 30 videos as I can, Y'all got me convinced, This is the camera for me!!!

  • How did you achieve the opening and closing shots? Did you use a crane?

  • Yeah, I'm sure this video was going to include many more interesting location shots, such as skydiving, coasting down mountains with zip lines, etc... but the guy went and wasted the funds he would have needed for those activities on a CRANE rental!

    ...or maybe that was hand-held footage on a descending escalator. Who knows?

  • I wasn't criticising him. Im just curious as to how he achieved that effect.

  • I know.

    I was just making fun of the fact you thought he rented a crane.

  • haha i see. well its a very well done piece. and im doing a media studies course and im just curious as to how amateur filmmakers on a tight budget or no budget achieve good shots with maybe some tips and tricks tt could mimic a crane of some tracks

  • sorry i didn't respond sooner! johnny's got it. I was just standing on an escalator and holding the camera above the heads of the people in front of me. thanks to the both of you for watching!

  • ahhhhhhhhhh i see. I was under the impression you used a crane because the descent looked so straight! bloody well done video. im looking to get teh HDR SR11 by sony

  • I got to really give it to you. This video and the music are excellent. Love the effect of coming and going and the day and night and the music. I've been watching and sharing it a lot. It's excellent cinematography.

    I've been in Tokyo this August just after you, for a week, and that is exactly how I remember it. You have captured the moment. Thank you for sharing your art and hope to see more of them world travel moments on video, my picture music videos just don't cut it. Cheers!
