Wife and I went to Japan in January, it's a beautiful place and a beautiful culture.

Come on, remove the slow mo and the bullshit zen music and you are left with a condensed sirup of vomit inducing cliches. Sure the guy is good at milking his field trips... But it's like Koyaanisqatsy without the essence.

Nope, just that with these now in the market:

We might start being flooded by pseudo artsy fartsy cliche cramming bull of this level... It's style over substance, and that might have been fine for some when the style was technically tricky to obtain. But now it's becoming a pushbutton trick...
It's like if the guy went with a check list of all the most rewarmed tourist traps and vomit them back in slow mo'
Good that he can make a ministry of tourism propaganda movie without the porkbarelling... But that's about it.
Next step will be to add a TopGear-like gray filter darkening the top and bottom of the screen...

I'm starting to think that a remaindered batch of Beaujolais Nouveau might have been snapped up cheaply in the big T and it is currently working its way through the system.

Basically, it's a piece of state propaganda hidden behind a pretentious, uninspired, vacation movie.

Yeah...but you're forgetting the used panty vending machines, naked lemur sushi, and all the other things they so desperately want to be true.
Yokohammer wrote:Scott has some nice moviemaking skills. A bit slow-paced for my liking, but that's just me. And assuming he did all the camera work, editing, and grading himself he's done a really good job.
For people who know the territory it's ... Scott went to the Tsukiji fish market, sumo, an onsen, a tea ceremony, the Sky Tree, and then he went to Fushimi Inari and Nijo-jo in Kyoto. Standard tourist stuff, but of course that's the stuff that really makes an impression on the first timer. So it's kinda touristy and superficial (which was probably the intention anyway ... it's a vacation movie), but there's no denying that it's beautifully done.
Thumbs up for technique and artistry.

That is some of the biggest hipster marketing BS I have seen in a bit and that is saying something. My newer Micro 4/3rds Lumix with that exact same 14mm pancake lens is smaller than that and does most of that in video and more in the photo dept. and the older one I have does too. You'd be hard pressed to find a Micro 4/3rds that does not. It may be missing some of the video stuff exactly (I'd have to look it up) but puts out 1080p AVCHD which is more than good enough for me and my newest cost about $230 with a 2 lens kit not $1000 with no lens. They are marketing SD memory card compatibility as a major feature are you shitting me? LOL. Best overhyped body of all time.
As far as the actual video goes, meh, not my tastes as Ive seen it all. I'd probably rather be smoking outside in half of it at this point but good on him it was a decently done snapshots of Japan style video.
Coligny you are full of it as usual with yet another opinion on something you have no idea about. Do you have a youtube channel? Let's see a video of yours.
