CHICAGO [USA] Downtown WALKING TOUR | 4K Cinematic Virtual Tour with Immersive City Sounds

[@micheleparker3780]

This was absolutely beautiful! You started on State Street, South, right where I would come into downtown. Lived here all my life, I'm 64 now. This is the only way I'll see downtown now. Thank you 😊

[@Joey_Helms]

Hi Michele, thanks for the heartwarming comment. It makes me truly happy that this video allowed you to experience downtown Chicago again :) wishing you all the best.

[@EttaPhillips-us2lu]

That's my city downtown look better then that trash. New. York. City tell you

[@mariana.k3753]

Loved this so much! Felt really immersed. Going to visit the city really soon for the first time and my excitement exponentially grew after this video. The ronin 4d is so smooth and I also loved the look, this anamorphic lens images are insanely beautiful. But as you said, must been a really intense workout. Awesome job!

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a mill Mariana! Chicago is very photogenic. You will have a blast. Summer is the best time to go :)

[@PoopyStevens]

@@Joey_Helms Surely it doesn't snow in summer though does it? For people who are looking to escape hot climates and see snow (me), surely winter is the best time to go?

[@stitch6157]

This is the best looking walking video I've seen on KZbin. Amazing job. You should do a video showing the nightlife in Fulton Market next. Milwaukee Ave. in Wicker Park and the high-end stores on Oak St./Walton/Rush are also beautiful urban settings for another cinematic walking tour.

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a lot! :) I may go on another walk some day 🙌

[@VampyricNinjaXDLOL]

World class city. Looks way better than Toronto

[@DINGOS30]

Toronto just as good though.

[@VampyricNinjaXDLOL]

@@DINGOS30 nope. No contest, Chicago is better. The only thing worse about Chicago is crime, but it’s concentrated in only certain areas of the city

[@MartinNikolov01]

I don't understand this vicious comparison. Both cities are radically different from each other, both historically and in every other way, and for that reason they are what they are today. Such an opposition is absolutely unnecessary at a time when the two poles of the world - the West and the East - are once again at the bottom of their relations. The Western World should support each other more, and not eat ourselves from the inside.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

@@MartinNikolov01agreed but I would say Toronto is the city most close to Chicago and vise versa. They're like mirror versions of each other, across the great lakes: both the hubs of their respective regions with booming cores and sprawling suburbs as far as the eye can see. They have comparable architecture and cityscapes with lakefront parks, beaches, industrial canals, marshes and woods around the outskirts of the city but not much natural beauty other than the lake, and plenty of rail infrastructure. They both have histories dominated by industry but have adapted to modern times with diversified economies and ever changing cityscapes, something many other American and Canadian cities are struggling with. They both have their respective problems yet they remain hubs of opportunity and culture. People often compare Chicago to Philadelphia but I think Toronto is the most accurate comparison.

[@thebabbler8867]

Best walking tour on KZbin. This deserves millions of views.

[@DannyDHidalgo]

That’s pretty awesome! Great timing and ending. Having walked through this city thousands of times, it’s awesome to actually see this captured. 👏👏👏

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks Danny!

[@TheAnnie41]

Great video. Thank you. Loved the fireworks.

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks!!!

[@Pawlo4344]

Faszinierend diese Stadt! Super Aufnahmen!👌👍

[@danilomorais2324]

The images are just gorgeous...but what impresses me the most is the cleanliness of Chicago , wow, that is just pure gold nowadays.

[@pdillon7]

Chicago is by far one of the cleanest cities US cities I've been to.

[@gerryadams2011]

The sculptors are as dead looking as the city. Gives me the shivers looking at the place. Next trip will be to Praque.

[@hyemuhyemu8221]

Looks like a movie set

[@gg3596]

Love ChiTown!

[@AGNDJ]

This is the best quality walking tour I've ever seen. This is insanely beautiful. Is it the color grading?

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks so much 🙌 the look is created by a mix of colour, camera, stabilisation, and the anamorphic lens

[@AGNDJ]

@@Joey_Helms Thank you so much for replying. This has inspired me to create again.

Yay go out in the world and create 👌

Hi 🙋🏻‍♂️ Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed this tour! Let me know your thoughts below. What’s your favourite location, where should I visit next?

Hope you got your photography permits, Chicago Inc gonna sue you!!🤦🏼‍♂️🤣🤷🏼‍♂️👍🏻

Nice video. Awesome end of it :) Maybe you should try next time Milwaukee?

[@louinekay]

Hi, were you using a gimbal? Nice video.

[@MaksuHakim]

the cinematic view, is incredible amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@FelixCervantes]

This is actually a big thing. You should create a separate channel for this type of videos. All the other ones are crap, bouncing like crazy. People watch the crappy ones. Could tell right away that you were using the Ronin 4D. Need to visit all the European capitals, Tokyo, anywhere and everywhere. You might need to invest in a Rode Stereo VideoMic X to get the immersive sound. I assumed you were using a Ready Rig or Easy Rig?

[@Joey_Helms]

No easy rig. All handheld. It was a workout. 😅

[@LekkerWalk]

Wow, What an amazing Cinematic Experience, Literally i thought now some movie scene will appear

[@faisal35i92]

Looks like a movie

[@Joey_Helms]

Chicago is very cinematic ;)

[@BTMaverick707]

That Sounds like a DM from The Uncle....

[@WackyChu]

Northern States are so cool! I live in SC and it’s very rural with houses everywhere. We rely on roads for everything and nothing is this close tougher or connected like it is in New York or Chicago. I’m considering on eventually moving up north but it may be a bit of a culture shock.

[@caymuscairns6845]

Time will slow down if you do move. Also people are very nice in Chicago.

[@blackmanskeeper_]

Mid-West city chicago is...

[@dglatz01]

Beautifully done. Such a cool combination of landmarks, people watching and street scenes. From what I could gather from seeing your reflection in the Bean, you were handheld - impressive. Loved your footage of Michigan Ave. - Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower especially. Would have loved a few more seconds of LaSalle Street “canyon” looking south, but that’s a quibble. Born and raised here and worked downtown for over 30 years. Used to take lunchtime or sanity time walks over much of the same ground. One nit - at 31:29 it’s Wacker Drive not street. Thank you for sharing this. Frankly I couldn’t stop watching it.

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks! :) happy you enjoyed it. Yeah I had to cut LaSalle short to time it with the fireworks and also handheld has its limits. Ooops, I used to live on Wacker. Was an Autopilot error 😅

[@glatznatureproductions]

@@Joey_Helms lol no arm or shoulder workouts for one week for you man.

[@Joey_Helms]

😂😂😂

[@Madskillsuniversity]

Great video! Thanks for taking us along with you on your walk. Well done, sire! I love Chicago and miss it. I went to college there, met tons of really cool people, along with my wife almost 40 years ago. We are in suburbs now, so I really don't go into the city anymore since I retired from Teaching Golf and DIversey Driving Range in 2021. Chicago is beautiful and I love Lake Shore Drive. (The song, too). LOL. Thanks again.

[@Antonio01666]

I am a fan of Chicago and New York, I love this beautiful city of Chicago.

[@federicaburla9216]

Thank you so much, for this fascinating journey in Chicago!

[@Paperbagman555]

Great stuff. How’d you get it so smooth with handheld? No rig at all, just soft hands?

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks :) the camera has a built in gimbal

[@scrambledeggs88]

This cinematic style is A+... thanks for doing this

[@lebogangxulu9032]

this deserves at least 1million views

[@the_black_douglas9041]

Very very nice Joey! Can I please ask what is your mic setup here? Also, what T stop is the Saturn on? And are you pulling focus throughout?

[@Joey_Helms]

Cheers! Internal mic, plus some pre recorded SFX, wide open, manually pulled focus throughout.

[@tak_canada]

Thank you for interesting video

[@tracygreene859]

i saw chicago booth school of business at 47:18. how is that possible? isn't the campus of u chicago in the outside area of chicago?

[@burburchacha]

15:53 Wish there were more of this in NY

[@usernotfound40495]

Chicago is gang city but keeps the downtown area clean of a skid row like environment. Still there’s crazy people, mfs who got out the hood just to move closer to the shore.

[@alexandernoethiger5338]

Is foley added in post? Its incredible. This is so immersive

[@Joey_Helms]

Yes it mostly is. I didn’t have an audio recorder running that time but considering it for the next one

[@cjnance008]

The camera quality is A1. Very cinematic film. You could shoot a whole movie with it.

[@katgates3978]

This is so awesome!!! Loved the fireworks. 🔥🔥

[@Swizzy19891]

best chicago video

[@SuavelleAdams]

The city of Chicago need escalators to go up and down them elevated trai lines especially during the spring and hot summers when the sun is constantly beaming and scoping all the vulnerable people out that's bir healthy enough to walk up all them stairs ! Also the city if Chicago should go monorail or pull all of the electricity from ground level and put them on over the train cars on electrical line chords in order to prevent people from getting electrocuted by these third rails ! I also jear that all if them rails are dangerous !

[@TnseWlms]

Ever hear of the foreigner who wondered why they often see a Roman numeral III after Chicago?

[@tamir]

That alley is incredible! Great work, thanks!

[@sanoopck1440]
