Tokyo - Autumn Colors Part 2
1 year ago
Finally ready, the second part about the autumn colors here in Tokyo. For that film, I went to several parks with my friend Mayumi, who is a dancer here in Japan.
When we were shooting, the music was not decided yet, so she was just moving without music, inspired by the beauty of the nature, we have been surrounded by.
Later, I chose the classic song "autumn leaves", in the original and two pretty rare versions, sung by the japanese singer Shiina Ringo and Hildegard Knef, adding some orchestral parts and instruments of my own too.
The Shiina Ringo version sounds overdriven sometimes, but it is in the original CD-version too.
At least, I was often tempted to add more artistic effects ... but finally I decided to keep the most of the takes in natural colors. Hope, everybody enjoys watching it and special thanks to my friend Mayumi, who was a perfect add for that scenery.

Picasso once said about people doing similar as he had produced befor: "Not so diffcult to improve Picasso".
So, I will not give you some advise on something I could not have done better myself within the same constraints...
keep up the good work!!!
Durch Sie, ist die umgebende Natur vollständig.
Ich freue mich, das du die Farben so gelassen hast, ohne Effekte ist der Film wie ein "realer Traum"...:)
Ich hoffe, das störende Geräusch in Audio ist bei dir nicht zu hören? Oder ist es absichtlich so?
Ganz liebe Grüsse und frohes neues Jahr! (in Japan ist bestimmt sehr laut?:) Zofia
Ganz liebe Gruesse zurueck und ebenfalls einen guten Rutsch in ein supergeiles Neues Jahr 2009. Silvester ist hier uebrigens ganz leise ;-))) Kein Feuerwerk, keine Partys ... alle gehen nur nach Mitternacht in den Tempel um zu beten.
I was wondering why I hadn't seen anything from you in a while - seems like you were putting all your energy into making something great! ^^
My most recent video isn't a private piece, so it's not up here, but you can see it here:
japanesepod101.com/2009/01/02/video-11-a-special-glimpse-inside-a-japanese-shrine/
But the end goal here was to reach as many people as possible - not so much focused on having the best quality.
But I just finished a new private video, so I'll upload soon!
Congratulations Kirk. This is gorgeous!! Especially when its accompanied by my fav jazz standard Autumn Leaves.
*Sits back and enjoy the colors of autumn......
I much like Your video.

The GZ-HD3 is a good camera. Looking forward to interesting videos from Russia !!! I saw your videos too. You have talent ! Show us Moscow. It is an interesting city.

Really great work.
Regarding the Momiji or Koyo ( red maple leaves ), it is probably one of the most beautiful places in Tokyo, even obviously unkown and less mentioned. I discovered it even by chance, because I am living close to it.
The colors in this scene are nearly original. I was actually once more surprised myself about the mood and quality of the pictures, because it was a rainy day and nearly dark, but it tought me, that it is worth, shooting even or especially under this conditions.
Beaucoup de poesie dans ce montage ! Vos images sont superbes ! Vous utilisez Color ?
Cheers from Tokyo and thanks for adding it to your channel.
