James T. Kirk's videos
Tried to catch some impressions of the most beautiful time here in Japan, the cherryblossom season. Actually, my JVC HD-3 has its weakpoints with nightshots but I forgot to take a normal digital camera for making a proper timelapse that day. Hope, everybody enjoys the video and visit Tokyo someday. It is worth joining the cherryblossom at least once in life ... in reality much more beautiful than I could catch with my cam.

    Wundervoll !!! Unglaublich schön, diese blühende Kirschbäume! Bei uns blühen die auch ... Aber in Japan ist es einmalig! Danke, Bernd! Ganz liebe Grüsse aus Deutschland! Zofia:)

    Vielen Dank, meine liebe ... und vielleicht hast Du ja mal die Chance, Dir die Kirschbluete live hier anzuschauen. Ist wirklich schoener als man es mit einer Kamera einfangen kann.

    beautiful! where is the place at 0:42?
  • James T. Kirk 2 years ago
    Thank you ... and the place is "Meguro river" at Ikejiri Ohashi. It is a small river, connecting 3 parts of the city, Setagaya, Meguro and Shinagawa and there are cherryblossom-trees al along the river !!!

    Hi James! OMG, you're the 4th James I come across today (yes, just today alone, 3 were from Lunch.com) & they are all from the U.S. I love the sakura very much & have had the pleasure of seeing them in person many times in Kyoto, Tokyo & Nagano. Just joined Vimeo & came across your videos. Great stuff! What's the name of the Japanese song in this video, btw? It's perfect for this video!
  • James T. Kirk 2 years ago
    Thanks a lot ... and the song is from the group "Rin", called "Sakura Sakura". Cheers from Tokyo

    You captured the feeling and spirit of Japan very well. I have traveled to Japan many times and I always appreciate those who can help others see its beauty and culture through video or stills. Great job.

    Sehr schön! Wir hatten auch mal eine japanische Kirschblüte im Garten... das ist echt eine Pracht!

    ;-)
  • Wolfgang Gaebler aka gogo6969 plus 2 years ago
    Irgendwas stimmt heute mit vimeo nicht... hab jetzt 6 mal drücken müssen, damit mein "like" aufgetaucht ist...?
  • James T. Kirk 2 years ago
    Dein "like" ist aber angekommen. Dankeschoen dafuer ... und ... wenn Du die Sonne Spaniens mal satt hast, bist Du hier herzlich willkommen !!! Japan ist cool ... eine ganz andere Welt ... und ... die "Aussicht" am Strand im Sommer ist absolut konkurenzfaehig. Uebel nur, dass die hier so ungeloest sind, wenn man da mal seine Kamera zueckt. Muss mir diese Jahr da mal was ausdenken ;-)))
  • Wolfgang Gaebler aka gogo6969 plus 2 years ago
    Okay, darauf komme ich zurück... ;-)

    Kameratechnisch empfehle ich Dir die pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-broadcastcameras/cat-avchd/product-HXRMC1%2FACC/ ... ;-)

    Ist ja komisch, dass die Japaner ungelöst sind, während sie in Europa überall mit Kameras im Anschlag herum laufen! ;-))

    Sehr schön.... :) Sehr gut... Ich kann nicht Andere sagen :) Doch, es ist wundervoll. Ich möchte auch einmal nach China fahren aber das ist sehr teuer zu mir. :)
    Alle Gute!

    Wunderschön! What equipment did you use to get the opening shot of the moon?
  • James T. Kirk 2 years ago
    Dankeschoen ! A friend was holding a green blanket behind a cherryblossom branch in the park and later, I just put it over a picture of the moon, using the "greenscreen" and "ken burns"-effect in iMovie 09. Very simple ;-)))
  • Håvard Ferstad plus 2 years ago
    I see! Ingenious. You shouldn't have told me ;-)

    I was fortunate enough to see blooming sakura in March this year - and I think you've captured the experience brilliantly.

    I like the music. Who is the artist and what is the song title?
  • James T. Kirk 2 years ago
    The name of the artist is "Rin" and the song is called "Sakura, Sakura". Thanks for watching !!!
  • Knock Knock 2 years ago
    Any clue where I can get a copy of this? It's not on amazon or itunes. :(
  • James T. Kirk 2 years ago
    YouTube is a nice source ( I got this song from there too ) or download this movie here ( if the sound quality is enough for you ). If you can get the movie, simply isolate the sound track later, saving it as MP3 or whatever. This works with many media players ( Quicktime, etc. ) or converting software. Just choose "export", "just sound", MP3 or whatever and you are done. It's quite easy ;-)))
