JAPAN - SEE WHAT I SEE | Cinematic Travel Video

Thank you so much for watching! This video has been in works for about a year now... Partly because I was juggling working full time, music and editing (a few different projects).
This is by far the project I am most proud of. I came up with the concept for the intro on my last two days in Japan after meeting @Chanrinak at a film makers meet up. I stayed up until about 5am in my hostel planning the shoot and writing the dialog (BTS coming soon).
My videography and film making isn't the greatest out there, but I am proud to make something meaningful and unique to me.
I hope you enjoyed this take of Japan. Please make sure you check out the amazing artists which helped me put this video together. And if you like this video please share it around using some promo material I made for Instagram.

[@savinsovat]

Both of you is the best traveling video maker

[@JamieTK]

Thanks all for watching! This was such a special project to create. It was also the first time I included an original song in one of my videos (Which I was super nervous about). Japan is just one of those places where everything is super beautiful. Shout out to @Chanrinak for modelling and making this story come to life. (: If you liked this video it would mean the world to me if you shared it with a friend or 10. (:

[@Crypto_Dingos]

Great video. When you go filming to you have an idea what your going to film or just film as much stuff as you can and make an edit out of it ?

[@JamieTK]

@@Crypto_Dingos mainly the second one. Although the intro was an idea I came up with the night before we shot it. You can see the difference in structure thats for sure. Its defiantly more efficient to have an idea and someone who can act/model for you!

[@janjeetmazumder3407]

Your storytelling and cinematography is mind blowing. This inspired me on a whole different level

[@brunofabioo]

Hey Jamie and Benn, what about a workshop face to face here in Melbourne?

I can feel the amount of hard work you have done in browsing through unlimited video data for cut shots and blending the transitions and planning this whole story of your Japan tour including their vibrant culture, ethnicity and natural beauty of landscape.

[@crrissttiancristian3765]

By far the best cinematic video on Japan I have ever seen, beautifully captures the essence of the place we so many love and dream to return !!!!

[@JamieTK]

Thanks dude!

[@codyruchian]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! THE SEAMLESS TRANSITIONS WITH S-TIER EDITING, VIDEOGRAPHY, MUSIC, SOUND EFFECTS, AND EVERYTHING!!! I'm currently taking my third year in Film and my teacher recommended this video to us. You're amazing Jamie! I know how time-consuming editing can be (not to mention the amount of effort you have to put in to get something to look exactly how you want it), and with an 8-9 minute video, "difficult" is a drastic understatement! One thing that not many people notice is how well the sound effects bring the whole video together, and they add so much more quality to this video! My favorite parts were 4:15 - 4:36 and 7:05 - the end (as a whole though, I loved everything between 0:00 - 8:57), and I loved the song that started at 5:34, and I was absolutely *amazed* when I found out that you made the song! Wow, talk about talented and inspiring!!! A standing ovation and hats off to you and all who were involved in producing a beyond high-quality video that not only captures Japanese culture and the many different beautiful scenery and lifestyles in it, but also tells a story within itself! :)

[@JamieTK]

Omg your teacher recommended this to you? Insane... Tell him thanks for appreciating the effort that went it :) And thanks for the amazing message! It's warming to know you got something out of watching my video!
