This is for my hometown, Japan caught in slow.

Music Credit: Flying Lotus ft. Thom Yorke- ...And the World Laughs With You

Shot on the Canon T3i and starter lenses.
Edited on Final Cut Pro and After Effects.

Thank you to everyone who viewed this video, it really means a lot to me.

Stay tuned for my sequel, "BERLIN ROUNDABOUT"
It will be a video mostly shot from different angles of a car, and I will- of course- combine the super slomo goodness of twixtor.
