Project RunThruSingapore [Full Video]

[jimmybarrinhio]

This is clearly inspired by a video of Danny Macaskill cycling through scotland. Search for Danny Macaskill Way Back Home. I grew up in singapore but am half scottish and live in scotland now. Good that i have two of these videos to show me what im missing.

[allieong]

absolutely brilliant!



[MrJonslife]

Sometimes when our surroundings are so familiar, we fail to stop and appreciate the beautiful landscape we have. I bet many Singaporeans suddenly realise how beautiful our city is.

[SteadiProductions]

@MrJonslife Sometimes we should take a step back and look at places that we've grown so accustomed seeing and we'll discover new things ;) Thanks for watching!

[victoriacmz]

Beautiful. I really like this. Thank you guys for making this wonderful video!

[san90520]

awesome & fantastic video featuring the lives & spirits of Singapore...shared with my overseas friends and they loved it... just a small suggestion: use those past NDP theme songs as the background music/song. ..that would be a perfect gift for 46th NDP or anyone who watch it in the future...excellent work, guys...:)

[bastronut]

wah lau, watched this vid 20 times already and i'm still not tired of it...

[frogboychickenrice]

Mute this video and pause it at 0:13, play the local band Electrico's song Faces: youtube.com/watch?v=OOcCeRQQFF­E as the background soundtrack for this video. sit back and enjoy. makes this video a true carthasis and a reflection of being singaporean.

[waterpolorox]

thumbs up if you recognize all of the places he ran to :)

[tianhua1993]

I feel that this is one of the best Singapore-made clips that I've ever seen thus far, surpassing the standards of Mediacorp and their NDP videos!!

[zonkaroonie]

I'm an overseas Singaporean. This video makes me more well-disposed towards 'home' than any number of national day videos.

[ilovefourlettersword]

awesome shoot! so nice to see familiar places but in a different perspective..

[XreflectX]

@SteadiProductions How did you film it so steadily if you were running with him?

[anyonehere13]

wooooooo hot boy:D cblock <3



[SteadiProductions]

Hey all! There will be a meet and greet session on the 4th SEPT for everyone to find out more about Telok Blangah CC YEC, Project RunThruSingapore & SteadiProductions.

We will be launching the "Making's of Project RunThruSingapore too"

Additionally, there will be a live demonstration on how to operate a SteadiCam.

[setsunaftw]

ah, this is kinda nostalgic

[melodyjouful]

Awesome job! Thank you so much. I want to share with my friend. Pround of you all..thumb up

[Drummer8nimation]

How did you all get the steady shot while running??

[Drummer8nimation]

Sengkang at 5:03

[terminalcase42]

It made me fall in love with Singapore again. Brought a tear to my eye this quiet morning in Tokyo...can't wait to go home. Thanks for making it. It's fantastic.

[thevideographer90]

@terminalcase42 Glad you liked it... I'm sure you'll get home soon!

[titanlyy]

oh my god. i wanted to do a video like this too in stop motion. someone beat me to it! D: great vid!

[beyon13]

Well done ! Steady lah.... ! :D

[sooriyah007]

I like how s'pore is the only country that you can run around in less then 8 mins..Awesome!!!

[Lxmby]

Good concept and good effort! :)

[TraceurJY]

awesome video man !

[alloaw]

Beautiful.

[Hafiz93]

Awesome job ! Just curious, how many days did you take to shoot ? :)

[SteadiProductions]

@Hafiz93 It took us about 6 months to complete the shoot!

[ChiliKeY]

This video should be renamed as .. Around Singapore in 7:36 mins

[graysg]

Nice video, would be perfect if he can run in LKY's and the ministers' houses.

[eminozy]

i super like! fantastic idea!

[helltoturingforever]

luckily he did not run on PIE.........

[babusaj1]

Hats of you! Great job!

[ahkl77]

Good job guys!

[gopher3737]

great video, get a great tour of Singapore this way.

[puddleofgooify]

what's the triangular building in the background at 1:24? it's one of my favourite buildings in Singapore but I still haven't figured out its name!

[SteadiProductions]

@puddleofgooify It's the Golden Mile Complex building ;)

[eldridtan]

loved itt!

[SAD2656594]

Nice Video. Some of these places I even didn't even explored, haha. Good Job!

[iONGGY]

this video is awesome! the entire idea and concept is absolutely refreshing and beautiful. A million round of applause to the production team

[jngsh]

this is beautiful :) well done!

[johnnymcsporran]

Ying Quan, just ignore them. You're a running demi-god! ...second only to the camera man who presumably was running backwards! This is fantastic! Six months well invested in my book. Thank you all so very much!

[thelastrebirth]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, especially the part on Kranji War Memorial. I went there when I was a soldier and that felt especially meaningful. Would love to go back there to pay respect again.

[jellycomics]

What a brilliant concept & video! Kudos to Jason and Ying Quan for directing & producing such an original and moving vid!! A truly Made-In-Singapore project that I can proudly show off to foreign friends!

(Hwvr, i do wish that you had inserted a part where the jogger buys some flowers from the market or something, so that there's a context to how the flowers suddenly appeared in his hands when he placed them at the war memorial. Also, is there a reason why yr 24-hr jogger wasnt credited?:)

[SteadiProductions]

@jellycomics Thanks for your praise! =) Well! The Runner is Ying Quan! He is the producer and runner =)

[zephyr84]

i wish you guys could add captions for all the locations (i know it's a lot of work) - ashamed to say i can't identify all of them. but fantaaaastic video. thanks for renewing my love for singapore!

[SteadiProductions]

@zephyr84 Hello Zephyr! I detailed breakdown of the location can be found in the google map placed under our video!

[davade2]

Great concept. Good and admirable effort. However, only one criticism from me is - the crossfade editing is badly executed. It would better serve with good and fast straight cut.

Overall, proud of the video!

Keep up the good work.

[Zetality]

how did u film him running? were u on the back of a bike or something?

[SteadiProductions]

@Zetality Hi Zetality, we flipped the LCD monitor of the 60D to the side and ran together with the runner!

[rykalbapakkau]

@SteadiProductions then how come so stable while you film and run?

[ZonMng]

@rykalbapakkau Read the comment. It says shot using Steadicam.

[ZonMng]

@rykalbapakkau Read the info. It says shot using Steadicam.

[SteadiProductions]

Thanks for your support guys! Do support our passion for Singapore by sharing our video with fellow Singaporeans and also your International Friends!

Do follow us on our youtube channel & like our Facebook page

[bajero]

i see my neighborhood! <3 the vid. thanks.

[cityhousefly]

The video was very well flimed. It shows a lot of planning and effort putting in.

Unfortunately the guy in the video don't looks like a runner. He got no running style. Should get a real runner that glide like those Kenyas' long distance runners and with proper running attire. Then this video will be a very captivating one. Showcasting our beautiful island.

[weedee88]

pruss wan for awesomeness

[eclipsingly]

Thanks so much for producing this clip. Even when I'm out of Singapore, it feels home watching this.

[auzistar]

great job..makes me feel like running too!

[avongxay]

A wonderful production gues... well done! I love it!

[neon0mega]

awesome stuff they should have shown this at NDP 2011.

[AshrafSpore]

Awesome video! Shows that there are still some places left that I've yet to explore in Singapore. :)

[lkaiping]

Lovely video :)

I do agree. There really is a lot of beauty all around, a lot going on on this little island. The ironic thing is that I didn't grow up in "that Singapore" - I never went to Kampong Glam or Little India as a kid. I discovered these places as an adult, and I like them because they are evocative of bits of local history that're exotic to me.

[astrodotsg]

Amaaaaazing. Looking forward to RTS2 - The places we missed during RTS1.

[piggnant]

This is the best video that STB never produced. Also a very lovely paean to Singaporeans.

[fidahrashid]

this is awesome! it was fun guessing which part of SG he was running thru! Im based in KL now, and even tho Im in a neighbouring country, i dont get to go home often enough. Now this has put a huge smile on my face on this lovely Sunday morning. Good job guys. a simple concept but well executed. :)

[faithloh1]

Locations are all jumbled up and the guy didnt perspire at all makes it a little weird. BUT nonetheless awesome effort made <3

[athena149]

Pandan reservoir! 2.4km run for rv students :)

[saetria]

might have worked better if the guy didn't run like a girl.

[enp01sg]

Very very nice! The guy looks like he would have done a pretty good marathon time. How did his hair stay so perfectly coiffed during the run? ;) BTW what official run did he run through when he was at the Padang?

[fujie94]

Wow!

[niebuhrnobfear]

this is da bomb:DD

[tans0249]

who in the right mind will dislike this vid?!

[therepublicist]

RUN FOREST RUN!!

[muhammadhirman]

The credits section wrote "Unmarked Guitars" -- I think that's a mistake.

[Arktos08]

So many nice places that I don't recognize! Good job with the video.

[muhammadhirman]

Awesome!

[georgeporky]

Take how long to complet the run :)

[SteadiProductions]

@georgeporky It took us 6 months to film this =D

[IAmNotFatdotNet]

wa lao eh, I wanna do that, but I can't run further than 100metres

[ibeee]

yet another production from ruicheng and team. i like it :D

[marshtuber]

omg i saw the park beside jp and boonlay shopping centre! LOL.... nice one!

[iphone4999]

any one can tell me wad that 2 song name ?

[odomisauq]

@iphone4999 It is in the video description, just click on the 'Show more' tab..

[stjap19]

did he run to the zoo? where did you find this guy, NO SWEAT!!! HAHA but this is an awesome vid. the editing was great, the music was great, lighting. BRILLIANT!!!

i wish i'd thought of this.

[SteadiProductions]

@stjap19 Yo! Nope we did not run the Zoo! Thanks for Supporting us =)

[stjap19]

@SteadiProductions will look forward to your up and coming video.

[jkai27]

okay who wants to plan a running route based on this video?

[odomisauq]

Overall it's awesome, the songs go very well with the video as well. kudos to your efforts. I have a humble suggestion, maybe next time can feature local music ? Especially those local indie artistes like 53a and Inch Chua. Trying working with them if possible, it would be mutually beneficial for the creative industry here in sg. =)

[SteadiProductions]

@odomisauq Hi odomisauq, yes it would be great to work with local indie artistes! It was our original choice to use local music in the first place, but lack of time to source and work out details meant using The Jezabels, who are really good :) If I had a choice, definitely local! Thanks for the band suggestions!

[ff9garnet90]

By the way, I'd be sharing it with my family and other friends as well ;)

[SteadiProductions]

@ff9garnet90 Hi ff9garnet90, thank you for the support!

[ff9garnet90]

Wonderful video =).Give me a tight feeling to my chest and make me feel that, once again, I'm proud to be a Singaporean. Great job guys =)!

[geeksomeguy]

This is beautifully done. :D

Does anyone know what the building at 05:19 is?

[SteadiProductions]

@geeksomeguy 5.19 is Orchard Ion =)

[plovery0]

Lovely video. But wai u no support local music :(

[SteadiProductions]

@plovery0 We will definitely do that in our next video :)

[jilun]

IS HE FOREST GUMP?? he looks like he runs funny.

[kenilim]

2 people are foreign talent.

[linkingd0ts]

awesome video. gives a warm fuzzy feeling inside especially for those overseas who are missing home. =)

[plxn]

Great concept! But found the guy bowing at both the Kranji War Cemetery and Civilian War Memorial a bit strange (esp for the civilian war memorial- considering it's a commemoration of those who perished during ww2) Overall, nice video!

[johnsmith1330]

Well done. Makes me feel all warm and patriotic inside

[DotaLord1993]

Yes!

[ghostbabe38]

this is lovely, Happy Birthday Singapore :))

[Eghhhh]

Great video! If we put all our political affiliations and typical Singaporean cynicism aside, we can take a step back and actually notice that we have a rather beautiful country. Makes me miss home a wee bit. Happy birthday, Singapore! Lots of love from Pittsburgh! <3

[yardypoop]

Darn got to rewatch it for the scenic shots I missed. Spent too much time looking at his chest

[vinvgohg]

This is a nice and creative video, but a little too long. Nevertheless well done

[wubefrub]

very well done guys!

[1337hacks]

This is one of the most beautiful and touching videos I have ever watched as a Singaporean.

[SteadiProductions]

@1337hacks Thanks for your support! HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!

[aochengsu]

Nice work Jason! Glad that I met you last Sunday :) (60D Battery grip eh?) See you again soon!

[daniel7521]

Great job on the video. With all that is happening in Singapore now, somehow your video has made me proud to be a Singaporean again. Thank you. Happy National Day

[SteadiProductions]

@daniel7521 Happy national day to you too! Thanks a lot for your support! Let us all be proud of our beautiful country and show it to the world!

[doggie1993]

heeeeeeee

[thesoftmint]

also @5.43 would have been awesome if they jumped on that passenger bike and filmed it, would be nice to add a little comedy in it :)

[endot]

i like how he doesnt sweat at all

[SteadiProductions]

@endot its the shirt XD really =D

[rinaz]

Wonderful video! Thank you so much for your time and effort making it, I really appreciate it!

Living overseas, I never realised how much I missed Singapore until how emo I got when watching this. I really teared up after all the different scenes that I've personally walked and been in.

Fantastic job :-)

[SteadiProductions]

@rinaz Thanks!!! Do check out the google map for the locations so that when you come back to visit Singapore again! You'll see them =)

Do share it with your overseas and show them the Beauty of our Country!!

[SteadiProductions]

Happy National Day to All! Do lend us your support for our simple project by sharing it with all your loved ones and international friends too!

[wksim91]

Wow, on the faster scenes, the steadi-cameraman must really have quite a strong arm D:

[SteadiProductions]

@wksim91 Our director Jason need a lot of arm training just for this HAHA

[TorontoViewer]

This is a really wonderful video. (Personally I would have used Martin Solveig's 'Ready To Go' song for the music but that's just me). I thought I knew most of Singapore but you have shown me a lots of sites I have yet to visit! THank you! Also, having the map of his run is very helpful. Can't wait to use this info in my next visit this December!

[SteadiProductions]

@TorontoViewer Thanks for your kind words! Do lend us your support and help us to spread our video around!

[chelidagreat]

Man I was hoping he would run on the water from Ubin back to Changi Ferry Terminal. Disappointed.

[a1beng]

I was thinking he could have swam back to sg.

[xiangyao1]

Awesome vid! But why go from jurong to woodlands then back down to gombak then to ang mo kio. Lol.. It's not consistent. But the other places are all linked and consistent.

[SteadiProductions]

@xiangyao1 Haha! We tried to somewhat ran a complete round but its quite difficult to link in the end

[tohwushu]

what about Pulau Tekong mate!

Overall an awesome job guys =)

[SteadiProductions]

@tohwushu LOL that place can't be filmed sadly

[ngzhongqin]

Danny MacAskill - "Way Back Home" go check it out. the video uses the same song and its also about this man cycling around somewhere. (as opposed to a guy running)

[SteadiProductions]

@ngzhongqin Yea! we got inspiration from that video too =)

[thesoftmint]

is he wearing a bra?

[SteadiProductions]

@thesoftmint No the actor is not wearing a bra =.=

[thesoftmint]

@SteadiProductions haha i just kidding, nice video anyway, althought u should get a shot of tekong, quite a intresting site tbh, i am sure that if u asked u might have been able to do it.

[omgsianz]

@thesoftmint lol now that's all i can see!

[SteadiProductions]

@omgsianz Thanks! Help us spread the msg =)

[andrew651992]

Great job Mr Tan! Now I know why you are all that busy during our SAGE rehearsals. :D

Thanks for your support and guidance albeit your busy schedule!!

[SteadiProductions]

@andrew651992 Help us spread the love in JJC too!

[mingz]

how many months it took to make this video? :O

[SteadiProductions]

@mingz It took us 8 Months in total, 6 Months to carry out the filming =)

[firdaus125]

That dude didn't run through Singapore

[SteadiProductions]

@firdaus125 Well we didn't literally ran through Singapore on foot, but we indeed travel through almost every single part of Singapore!

[mock83]

Great work. why not geylang...

[SteadiProductions]

Hey There! Thanks for your support! We did film geylang but the scene didn't turn out nice unfortunetely
