‘South Korea, Seoul – Palette, Traffic and the City’ is a short project, in stand of traveler’s perspective, shot in central and outskirt district of the capital. The idea is to capture the surrounding and daily life take place in the urban city.
'' In the rush for the new, Seoul’s illustrious history hasn’t been entirely jettisoned. Restoration of palaces and Namdaemun gate is ongoing and there’s a plan to reconnect the fortress wall remains, parts…

This is a video I put together from my trip in March 2011 to Seoul, South Korea. We had a really great time seeing the city, visiting the DMZ, watching the BBOYs, and eating really great food. I got a lot of inspiration from the popular video that was created by David Dutton.
