From Daejeon to Seoraksan to Busan to Seoul. Our S.Korea road trip last October (2010).

I'm happy to see that so many people in South Korea have shared this video. I really wanted to show South Korea's beauty to people that are not familiar with it, but it's great others back in S.K. find it to be a heartfelt look into their country.

My parents live in Daejeon. You can checkout my dad's photography of Korea here:

For more S. Korea, this is a video of my mom's painting group on a mountain near Daejeon:

I love your work, it's very inspiring!! What did you use for color correction on this? It looks amazing, always impressive!!
David Dutton 1 year ago

Thanks James! I use After Effects for color correction. Not the best tool to do so, I know, but I'm just familiar with Adobe so I put up with it ;)
James Warde 1 year ago

Cool I'm just starting to use After Effects I'll check it out :) Thanks for the comment!!

This is quite possibly the best promotion I have ever seen for Korea... Wow you really have a talent of capturing the essence of what makes this such a great place to live... Thanks so much for making this..!
David Dutton 11 months ago

Thanks!
Simon and Martina Stawski 11 months ago

What you've done here is fantastic, and much better than most of the "Visit Korea" videos I've ever seen produced by Korea Tourism. They should have paid you for this.
David Dutton 11 months ago

haha thanks!

What was the camera you used to film this? Amazing colours and such a nice focus and blur outs. Love it!
I didn't know my country was fun and beautiful.

I just joined vimeo to comment on this video. I've been to many of those places, and it was very refreshing to see them again and well presented. Your video reminded me of my time spent in Korea, even right up until the very end when you feature a snippet of that silly dancing commercial! Thanks for sharing!
David Dutton 11 months ago

Great, I'm glad you enjoyed it and joined Vimeo to comment :)

that bloody advert at the end blighted my year in Korea
David Dutton 11 months ago

hehe, my wife loved it.
Stephen Paice 11 months ago

This will be a video I will watch my whole life to remember my time in Korea. It is a perfect collection of images and experiences any foreigner will encounter after a stay in Korea, some daily, some only once, but all real and all nostalgic. Thank you so much for putting on record what those without the skills cannot. I really appreciate you making this video public, thank you.
jonathan 11 months ago

I second that. I have watched this about a million times now! It's everything Korea 'is' captured beautifully.

Apart from the excessive drinking I took part in and the noraebangs I tried to sing in
FNWL 11 months ago

Just joined this site purely so I could tell you how absolutely gorgeous I think this video is. I've lived in Korea for two years and this honestly had me on the verge of tears, haha. Lovely. It's currently doing the rounds among Korean expat bloggers here and it seems most people feel the same. Really .... perfect. Well done :)
FNWL 11 months ago

wwian 11 months ago

Thank you, David, for sharing this film. My wife and I just returned from South Korea (Sept 2010) with our son. This film brought many smiles to my face. We can't wait to get back there! I've shared your film with everyone I know... Thanks again!
David Dutton 11 months ago

Happy you relate to it and your son can show people too. Me and my 3 brothers moved over to the states when we were young and forgot SK untill we went back as adults.
Tae Hyeon Lee 11 months ago

I've been teaching English in Korea for a year now and even after I return home to The States, this video will always be a reminder of my time abroad. I love how you captured Busan.... my home away from home. Amazing work!
Shawn Wilson 11 months ago

Dude, I really enjoyed watching that. You've captured the true essence of that country as a whole, and not just Seoul. This is the Korea I know, and not the way its superficially portrayed elsewhere. Love it, awesome work!
Brent Silk 11 months ago

Amazing video. Made me very very happy.
Bernardo Cerqueira 11 months ago

Seriously, actually I can't believe I've just watched this amazing video. I've been to Korea last January, with 20 other students pass a month in that beautiful contry. We wen't to Busan, but we travelled to Saejong and many other regions, that were filmed on this video. I'm from Brazil, and this video made me cry, of nostalgy, but cry. Congratulations, great video guys. P.s: At the part of the Guards Exchange, I felt there again, standing in front of this really pretty culture.
Qwalyne Lawson 11 months ago

I loved this video so much that I joined in order to comment! It definitely made me nostalgic because I recognized so many places. It beautifully summed up so many aspects of Korean culture. I especially loved the Won Cashing CF at the end. I spent a good portion of my first few months there trying to figure out what that commercial was for.
Thanks!
Alexander Bräutigam 11 months ago

hi, your video was circulating around facebooks in korea for a while. it's gorgeous. where was the lantern lighting and launching ceremony and what was that celebrating? 감사합니다^^
David Dutton 10 months ago

Hi! That was in Daejeon but I'm not sure what it was for. I was there during October if that helps.
see.jen.go 10 months ago

thanks! i'll google it. so i'm curious, your parents live here? i think i saw them in your video as some of the main re-occurring people. your mother is korean and is your father american?

btw my friends and i have really enjoyed watching your videos and this one in particular really touched many foreigners working here and has inspired them to see more of the country. so thank you for that.
