'Pluviophile' - A Short Film About Rain [Sony FX3]

[@anonymouspotato7247]

This is the most relaxing 4 minutes and 21 seconds I've ever had

[@teemu.mp4]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@izrador2264]

Rain is rejuvenation, reinvigoration and renewal. It's never depressing. It represents a washing away so that new life and new beginnings may take hold. Its very similar to the wee hours of the morning as they are the hours of anticipation of the day ahead. It's the time of most opportunity, the liminal time. All futures for the day are bottled up on those couple of hours waiting to spring forth. I find those couples of hours almost synonymous with rain so that that may be why you enjoy them.

[@teemu.mp4]

well said

[@RedGeist]

You're an excellent cinematographer. There are great shots here. Thank you for sharing your story. Rain is great!

[@sevrin1965]

There is a scene in the 1980's film 'Diva" by Jean-Jaques Beiniex, shot in Paris in the rain, it's one of my favourite scenes from that movie, so relaxing and serene.

[@Nomynmusic]

It's exactly this kind of atmosphere that inspires me most to create music, and you are my favorite photographer/filmmaker for this mood, your work is simply stunning. I've also just acquired my Fuji x100V and I'm starting to capture night scenes, it's such an atmosphere, although it will never be perfect than the night atmosphere of Tokyo or Seoul, but I will go to these places to take photos and find inspiration. Thanks for sharing your art Teemu.

[@teemu.mp4]

Thank you! Enjoy the x100v!

[@Thorro99]

Great Pictures! I find these kind of scenese very inspiring too. Im always waiting for a rainy day to get out and get some shots from this magical night-time. There where some pictures in the Film, which I´d love having more time looking at. Try giving the audience some time before cutting away to the next one;) Thanks for sharing!

[@Syrthix]

Not long ago i found out what this word is and its exacly what discribes me, and its one of the things that made me start photography. This is one of my favorite videos ever

[@teemu.mp4]

I'm very glad to hear that :)

[@sachinsudarshana3435]

This frames feels something and i love it🙌

[@yungcarti1035]

I really love your VIDEOS!! Please don’t stop making these typa videos they so RELAXING especially midnight in my dark room watching these videos makes me feel like I’m in my own diff WORLD❤️‼️

[@nelsonespinozaarce]

Very romantic. Thanks for showing it that way

[@jonx76]

Man, your channel is pure gold😍 I love it! Need more!

[@tonybarrett7557]

I like that your footage and images manage to maintain the humanity of the city even in the early hours and in the rain. Shops, bars and restaurants look like havens for human connection. The alleyways like small neighbourhoods in themselves filled with impromptu objects placed by residents and workers as though the street is an extension of their home. I started to find some night renditions by some photographers - eg, cough, L.W. - beautiful but dystopic and dehumanising. No smiling, no communication between people, just grim, lonely and anonymous figures dwarfed by neon structures. That’s not my experience of Tokyo or Hong Kong at all. The density and culture tends toward people having tight communities and an accommodative attitude. The cities aren’t perfect and of course there’s loneliness everywhere but they certainly aren’t the hellscapes of pain that some image makers seem to like produce. Just my 2c. Thanks

[@teemu.mp4]

Thank you. That's an interesting observation. I never actually thought about it in this way. Maybe a part of it is that when I used to do the full neon cyberpunk style, I noticed that the (even) more extreme edits only work with silhouette lighting because otherwise your subject will just look completely alien with those edits. But I also don't think that kind of art style is even trying to be realistic, and usually works best in still images.

[@tonybarrett7557]

Thanks. Yes, I agree. Don’t get me wrong, I think those cyberpunk images can be stunningly beautiful to look at. But, as you hint at, an individual character, rather than cyphers or types, or a smile or a suggestion of social solidarity would kind of break the spell of those pictures. Even where there is loneliness for some in the city, there’s also the hope of comfort, humour and joy. Being able to evoke all that at the same time is a genuine skill.

[@bastianhoffman8489]

beautiful color grading and story telling :-😊😊😊)

[@stefanbendik26]

Rainy days in Tokyo are filled with atmosphere. Even though my camera and myself were soaked, I couldn't help but keep on wandering the streets and looking for just one more interesting shot - which there was no shortage of.

[@c.johnson7962]

The texture is beautiful !!!

[@gundammeister2]

I agree 2 to 4 am is so peaceful, especially during rainy or snowy days. The calm before the chaos of the day. Your video was beautiful. Thank you

[@teemu.mp4]

Glad you liked it.

[@leandroalmeida7434]

Bro, I loved the mood colour grind and the sharpness of the image. Great Job. I'm from Toronto and I'm getting inspiration to make something similar here in Canada.

[@alekseikotilainen19]

Im addicted to watching ur videos

[@cliveeariss880]

Oh Tokyo in the rain, the sound of rain, life seemes to slow down, the lights become intense, exploring reflections, life, people, mood, you enter your world, within your own...mind and sight, I feel this, I have been to.....japan, japan has been to me, just what I needed, thank you.

[@fossmountainfilm]

Very well done. Thank you.

[@andrewxu_]

Make this go viral!!! Let's get this in the YT algo...

[@user-lw6iz7zy2o]

Lovely scenes, the more colorful night scenes remind me of Liam Wongs photobook TO:KY:OO

[@ANRO_ANRO]

I dont see anything wrong with Rain and i think its inspiring to turn it into a cinematic way of watching a city being rained on and being creative…Peaceful to me too.

[@ScottLives]

First: I am totally a proud pluviophile and am glad that you taught me the word. Second: in my Solvang Christmas video (and probably others) I said the same thing about the difficulty between enjoying moments and capturing them.

[@bobmusikk]

At 10-11-12 years old my friend and I used to sit in his dad's car all night saying nothing to hear the rain, I understand you.

[@The-Doom-slayer-man]

This is absolutely stunning! I really hope you become a feature film maker. You're shots are sooo good.

[@teemu.mp4]

Thanks so much!

[@CobaltBob]

I was just about to subscribe to your channel, when I realized I already was. Keep up the good work, and thank you for what you do.

[@raph.cinema]

You take seemingly normal scenes and make them so beautiful. Really damn impressive man keep it up!

[@teemu.mp4]

appreciate that!

[@IVRYmusic]

Amazing as always!! Thanks for the 4 minutes pure relaxation :)

[@teemu.mp4]

Glad you liked it :)

[@Kknewkles]

I miss the old metallic roof across from where I used to live. The sounds of quiet rain tip-tapping against it always made me unreasonably happy. And MY GOD, what gorgeous little movie. Instasub and follow. I could stare at each shot for a while.

[@teemu.mp4]

Thanks so much, appreciate that!

[@Kknewkles]

@@teemu.mp4 thank YOU for sharing all this magnificence :D

[@kalkydra]

amazing, cheers!

[@boyaka2010]

Love this video❤ Ummm..... Do you have clips you've captured in daytime? If rain? Like I would love to see such a masterpiece video in day time too.

[@Mr.Chillguyy]

Great job 👏

[@motavision]

Great job! Can you tell me which lenses did you use and your settings on the FX3?

[@yosoytudiox]

Thank you as always, for sharing with us all those spectacular night scenes in the rain. As you point on this video, many of us really love the way the city transforms with the rain. The reflections on the floors, cars, walls, and some other surfaces acting in some was as a cloudy mirror. Those fogged lights on the vehicles, neon lights and sime light posters, even on certain buildings with the inner light coming out, and the effect of dew or drizzle in front of traffic lights. With all that, which always generate a magical aspect, all the work you do with the selection of the place, moments and the edits make everything even more epic. Thanks again. Its really brings a cozy feeling mood watching this.

[@teemu.mp4]

Thanks very much for your comment!

[@DecvsJapan]

Beautiful. Hope you do one for Sapporo!

[@teemu.mp4]

Thanks. Maybe next year, as I'm skipping the winter this year and spending it in thailand haha.

[@eelnedroj]

Gotta say I enjoy your color grading but I watch a lot of your videos with greyscale turned on too, always been a huge fan of high contrast black and white and your videos are PERFECT for that.

[@teemu.mp4]

Haha thanks that's very interesting to hear!

[@fullfokus-video]

colorgrading reminds me a lot of the movie Watchmen or fightclub. Contrasts and sharpness is really nice too! :) For me - living in sweden, all the people living together in such a big city feels like unreal. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Moody and cinematic as always. Not sure I could ever get up that early.

Thanks, Jose. Tokyo is the best. Usually I'm just a nightowl. I sleep fine, I just sacrifice it when it rains like this.

[@josealcoy]

@@teemu.mp4 that's dedication!

Depression?

[@Drunktopus]

Youre either going to bed at 5am or waking up. There are two lives of every city. The rain brings a certain beauty to the lights, sights and sounds of a city no matter where in the world.
