Hong Kong City Blues

Hong Kong city at night. Come with us as we see the amazing night skyline of Hong Kong.
The Journey starts at the top of Victoria Peak, down through the quiet CBD district (very atmospheric in the rain!) and then the view from Kowloon Bay. Finally we head back downtown and the views outside our hostel.
The night was very beautiful and quiet with the rain having driven most of the people away. Cesca and I spent a good hour or so around the CBD district taking photos and footage in perfect seclusion and silence. Every corner seemed to bring new angles and amazing lights. For such a busy and populated city, to have this huge area all to ourselves was very special.
Later, the famous view across the harbour was set off perfectly by the many boats plying the waters all lit up like Christmas Trees. Here the angles all pan left to right as the skyscrapers sparkle and dance in neon lights.
Visiting this place inspired me to think of my favourite movie: Blade Runner. So, I used the music and samples that I could find in my collection.
I hope you like the film!

Hong Kong in Mong Kok or Tsim Sha Tsui when its raining at night, always reminds me of the street scenes of Blade Runner.

Great video. I just returned from Hong Kong and did a youtube video of the light show at night with Pink Floyd music.. It reminded me of a Pink Floyd concert. The Blade Runner music is a great choice. I loved it.

The only thing missing in this video is a giant Coca-Cola sign and the Tyrell Corp.

The "Basho" intro music is from Heat. I love the work of Micheal Mann. The music in the film is from BladeRunner as the city was the inspiration for that great film.
I am currently working on a film commission, but once that is over I will be releasing a new version of this film in 1080p and with a slightly longer ending. Watch this space!
