Kyoto HD - "Rising Dawn" 京都 - Canon 5D Mark II, Sony A65

[drkks10]

Beautifully shot and composed.

A special note for Stephen: Powerful yet subtle use of bass especially in the beginning of the footage.

[tsukiyumi]

wow, great video!

[johnbrunedigital1]

Wow! Glidecam footage I actually like! I've not seen anyone yet who knows how to use one like a Steadicam. Excellent work! Great fusion of images with music. It was very uplifting to watch and made me want to watch House of Flying Daggers and Memoirs of a Geisha again. Bravo!

Nice glidecam work. Were you using it alone or with the forearm brace or stabilizer arm?

[IRtehGreatest]

Fantastic! I'd really love to see Japan one day  =)

[joemichelli]

Very filmic, well crafted, with a sense of drama, stunning visuals, nice angles. The flying shots are well executed and add a dreaminess to the over all production. You cannot go wrong in a location like this with great public spaces.

Definitely inspired by devinsupertramp, with the same music and glidecam shots xD.

[SpectreMk2]

Tourism office of kyoto? Nice work ;)

[amipal24]

Excellent work, really sublime. Such a good marriage of audio and video, and some superb shots.

Awesome video! I made videos in Japan too, and this one blows away all of mine hands down. Great job!

[attomo1]

is there much filmed using the a65?

[BlueEdenHD]

@attomo1 the a65 is used in about 50% of the clips. You can usually tell which ones they are since the 5D was primarily doing the wide-angle "flying" shots.

Amazing video! Makes me want to go to Japan even more... now where did that guy from the lottery go?

Those tourists dressed as maiko (apprentice geisha) (at 0:24 and 4:02) look really cute and colourful. Great DOF there too. ^^

[novix]

Awesome vid! What equipment did you use to shoot? 4 Days seems pretty packed a schedule to fit in so many awesome shots! Good job!

[79barronda]

LOve the video, especially the Nara deer.

[Asia0Entertainment]

I love this video ! Nicely shot ! It was if I was really running around Kyoto myself ! Really beautiful place ! I wish I could visit soon ! 

[focustwo]

My favorite place!

[ShowaCoolJapan]

Oh, surely I saw the essence of Japanese beauty in this.

The still scenes expressed eloquently to me.

[arubaforever]

Is this steadicam?

[BlueEdenHD]

@arubaforever the soaring shots were with a 5d2 mounted on a glidecam hd2000..

[cato1974]

nice :). Devinsupertramp's style is taking over! hehe

[stefaniekappel]

Superb video- love it!

Stef.

I would say, the photographer (or camera man), the musician, and the editor all did an excellent work on this clip. I like it a lot!!

[BlueEdenHD]

@TheMpuppy Thanks! I also love photography and have practiced at it for years. I'm glad it's showing in the video!
