Beautiful colors and composition!❤ Another asian style lover here hah!🙃

[@pykfilm]

Thank you! 😊

[@nickryan6787]

I must be the only one realising this common type of angle in Asian films. The very far flat angle of an object with the lack of background music but only the natural ambience

[@kenmaruoka]

I’m glad that I clicked on this video!

[@pykfilm]

I’m glad you clicked on the video too!

Gorgeous work. Those two accounts have introduced me to so many incredible movies. These scenes you captured look like they’re pulled straight out of the films they showcase. Excellent work!

[@pykfilm]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you have this sentiment about my work :))

[@ponoma773]

This is amazinggggg, I loved every single shot's composition. You nailed the Asian style, definitely saving this for reference and ideas!

[@pykfilm]

Thank you!

[@TokioRunsTime]

normally i think all camera brands have near the same video look once you reach a certain price point . This camera stands out so much more differently from your regular Sony , canon. or fuji camera . Beautiful work

[@pykfilm]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment on the camera choice and how a lot of them look the same now

What a wonderful, beautiful film

Thank you!

[@jimjimgl3]

Have you seen Yi Yi A One and a Two (Edward Wang)? You might be interested in his filming/framing...from 2000. Also, Yasijuro Ozu's Floating Weeds from 1959 is inspired.

[@pykfilm]

I haven't watched Edward Yang's work but I will definitely check it out now! Trying to emulate the look of films in that style :)

[@Anghel_O]

beautiful cinematics, this is something I would want to film one day. Also what camera did you use?

[@pykfilm]

Thank you! I used my Panasonic S5ii camera

[@bmdi_11]

Oh my god this is actually ethereal. There's a whole genre of films like this out there??

[@pykfilm]

Thank you! Yes I feel like a lot of movies made in Asia have this kind of aesthetic, the movie “Burning” is a good example!

[@kaicastle.]

Yes there is! Even asian silent vlogs also use the style 😊

[@FishingforFisher]

Got some Ozu, Yang, and Kore-eda vibes.

[@JKRJ14]

Loved it. Btw can you pls share which camera, and lens did you use for these shots?

This lens distortion is hot. What lenses did you use?

[@pykfilm]

Minolta Rokkor Vintage lenses (45mm, 58mm, and 85mm)

[@1550592535]

excellent! How was this graded? Shot on Vlog right?

[@pykfilm]

Thank you! Yes I shot this in V-Log, which gave me a lot of flexibility to color grade this in Final Cut Pro, I just went for a more natural look and not push colors too much

[@helo_abacus]

Man the colors

[@pykfilm]

Thank you!

[@vedroelcitra]

This is amazing, do you work in a production?

[@pykfilm]

Thank you! Unfortunately I don’t I’m solo atm but i would like to be a part of a good production one day :)

[@miguelitohacks]

very inspiring!

[@pykfilm]

Thank you!!

[@bencolth]

Amazing visuals and sound design, very inspiring. Did you add any sound effects in post or was it all captured in camera?

[@pykfilm]

Thank you so much! I had a shotgun microphone so I recorded majority of the audio when shooting the clips but I also added a lot of background SFX in post as well

[@bencolth]

Appreciate it!

[@fiev]

Love the framing

[@pykfilm]

Thank you!!

[@Jaymationstudios]

Great video! I have some feedback tho. I think it would be better if you had some of the sounds as a J-Cut, which would make all the scenes flow together.

[@pykfilm]

Thank you! Your point is very valid, tbh I originally filmed/edited individually these videos to be posted on instagram as a slideshow/carousel and just posted them to KZbin later. Appreciate the feedback regardless and I’ll keep that in mind for next videos!

Какие фильмы вдохновили тебя?

[@pykfilm]

Films like “Burning” and “Your Name.” inspired me and the video!

[@alfazrahmn]

Is this cineprint grade

[@pykfilm]

Nope, I color graded this in Final Cut Pro! I also used Film Convert to add a little bit of color and film grain too

4:3 is just goat Aspect Ratio

I did shoot and edit this in 3:2 aspect ratio bc of my camera lol but I agree!

[@anandhu_remanan]

Is it 4:3 ratio?

Nope, I shot this in 3:2 Aspect Ratio!

Colorgrade tutorial please🥹

[@pykfilm]

Thank you! Tbh I’m not the most knowledgeable about color grading I just tried to get the colors right/natural in camera while shooting as much as possible + basic color correction

[@one28music]

"Asian film style"

[@daslama731]

I don’t know what it is but something about these shots feels AI to me. It is not meant as an insult. I don’t even know what it is.

[@pykfilm]

That’s an interesting take! I actually shot these using 1970s Vintage Minolta lenses to go for a more analog look ironically enough haha. I do gravitate towards wide landscapes with a dreamy/glowy look and vibe, which I think a lot of AI art tends to be but thanks for the feedback regardless!
