THE EAST 8K - A Time-Lapse Adventure

[@Andyax]

Another great film. Really cool to see the build up Morten. Refreshing and dynamic!

[@Tschonni95]

I love the confrontation of the nature and the city. The shots at the beginning are so calming and the city really shows the fast pace. How long were you there?

[@morten.rustad]

Thank you! About a month

[@fjellssonmedia6856]

Absolute Masterpiece! So dynamic and within a totally natural flow. It's almost as you have reinvented timelapse movies! I absolutely love it!

1:37 IS MY FAVORITE PART, SO BEAUTIFUL

[@EmanuelRosenzweig_IL]

Morten, this is one of the best you presented till today, if not THE best. Amazing detailed urban shots, crisp lights, and textures, and mysterious clouds motion. I think I recognized Guilin and it's surroundings, Yangshou and, of course, Hong-Kong. The perspective you gave to these fascinating places is unique and almost gives us a chance to be in contact with the hidden soul of them. It is not just the high technical level of shooting and post-processing (which, of course, I'm still jealous at), but a deep touching motion view of very unique parts of our Globe, which you edited so wisely, so beautifully. Thank you, Morten, for sharing it.

[@morten.rustad]

Thank You Emanuel. I'm glad you enjoyed it, it sure is a little bit different than my other stuff and my first proper attempt on shooting urban.

[@kthen9670]

@@morten.rustad keep at it, this is great

[@vk4vsp]

A different approach to what we're used to from you, Morten. Good to see you're pushing the boundaries a bit.

[@Citiesin4K]

Great combination of scenes. Great you are posting videos often.

[@Rascoh]

Loved the inclusion of people and urban environments in this one! The transition between landscape and city scale was seamless, and I loved the new shot styles. The shot moving through the window was brilliant, and the hyper lapse at the end was just spectacular. You never cease to inspire me. Thank you for sharing your art, Morten.

[@65SATisfaction]

Jon Henning I like it too.. I assume Morten is experimenting w the drone footage and people.. This isn’t representative of Morten’s “classic style”, but I like the fact he is exploring other cinematic styles and images, or subjects. His evolution will be interesting.

[@davidecastagno3607]

The music mached perfectly, stunning

[@morten.rustad]

Tomasz did a great job indeed!

[@AntonioDAlbore]

Stunning piece of work, both visually and for the soundtrack!

[@kalef1234]

Honestly wouldn't doubt if I've seen your work on an LG TV in Best Buy before I actually found you on youtube. Nice work man! Truly amazing

[@rickallenphoto]

You are becoming quite the penultimate producer of timelapse video. Just incredible. I will say, having traveled to The East several times myself, that such high density population centers are a bit scary and foreboding. For me, the music and even the circular movements of the cam (or perhaps just the video in post) add to a sense of dynamic tension. Really excellent work.

[@ÁzsiábaSzakadtam]

Mind blowing! Thanks Morten, you inspire me a lot 😎

[@thegradualday3014]

Bravo! Perhaps your best work so far! Your skill at composition and editing are unsurpassed. Many thanks for this addition to your body of work.

[@lastcall9998]

Mate, what can I say? Are there better words to say thanks than thanks? U're awesome, cheers.

[@silamento]

Always killin it man, great work

[@spvcejames]

it definitely seems like you tried to experiment and elevate your style and it totally paid off, very beautiful shots man, keep it up

[@AkselGresvig]

Incredible work, Morten! Raising the bar, yet again. It's inspiring to see how you can move into Urban environments like that while retaining the incredible detail, purity and crispness of the visuals. Devil is in the detail! Sick music too!

[@keithgoddard4192]

Mindblowing.... I have just discovered your channel, but I am so glad I did - astonishing footage, and a truly incredible look at a part of the world I know nothing about.

[@LittleTut]

Wow...I love it! So beautiful. The editing is on point! You choose the right music also. :))

[@withManish]

Just incredible my friend

[@shanesejones8490]

This as well as all your other work, and your adventurous life is truly inspiring. Everyone at VJUS is naturally talented and I think it's incredible how far your film production has come. Next time I'm in Norway, I'd like to check you guys' space out!

[@theawesomer]

Incredible work. Sharing on The Awesomer.

[@deanchen7915]

Hi Morten, I have been following your channel for a while and absolutely love your video. Very happy that you visited my home country, and I recognised some places in this video :) You did a great job presenting the nature and cityscape, and it is interesting to see that you captured some details I wouldn't have noticed normally. I had the opportunity to visit your country, Norway last summer after having seen your Norway time-lapses. Amazing landscape indeed. Keep up the good work!

[@marksturgeon893]

Just when I thought I knew Morten's style… Bosh! Really nice. As technically and artistically brilliant (with the best music) as ever, but with added something. Thank you, Morten.

[@PaulMDillon]

Another magnificent video Morten. You got me into time-lapse photography and you never stop inspiring me. Thank you!

[@wliu6381]

It's my country but even I haven't been to many beautiful places in my motherland, thanks for the wonderful video!

[@adrianscott7817]

Fantastic. Your best yet!

[@tizianovizzini1484]

Amazing

[@brownchairphotography]

Very cool video. I love the movement of the clouds of the city. Water also always a very cool element for time-lapse.

[@FIRSTLAPSE]

The drone lapse in the beginning is absolutely out of this world, Morten :-) Great custom made soundtrack, sends my heart straight back to Asia - really great seeing how it all came together after the hard work this summer :-) /Henrik

[@morten.rustad]

Thanks Henrik, and thanks for the company! The vlog from HK will be out soon

Amazing video, I have been followed you in the past month and your work is outstanding , unique. This video is more of the same quality but sincerely I love the combination of landscapes and city filming. really nice job and thumbs up form a subscriber!!!!

[@nyoungstudios]

Awesome time-lapses as always! Love how it goes from the clouds at the start to the city ones in the end

[@ayrow69]

This is on such a different level. Wow. Nice work.

[@leticiali184]

It's absolutely stunning! I found Zhangjiajie's breathtaking view through ur work more than the time when I was there!! My hometown Yunnan is another area with great natural scenery. Recommend

[@ostwaltmediae.u.8250]

Wow. I think that was your best timelaps film ever! I watched it two times and it is epic!

Looks awesome. How did you do the rotating alley shot? A slider with 2 genies?

[@flameemperor888]

The sound design is excellent.

Fantastic footage Morten. I see you are using the new Nikon Z7, which seems to have many time-lapse features... Is it possible you can do a video explaining those???? I'm looking at buying new equipment soon, and wanting to k ow which are the best time-lapse cameras currently in different price ranges. thanks.

[@henningpehlemann]

So sick! started great on got even better in the end😱👏

[@MarlonCabreraOliveira]

Masterpiece of timelapses.

[@manque2preuve795]

i love your work dude

[@m.s.g1890]

2:04 - 2:15 was so beautiful. I could just watch that loop over and over. Beautiful shot after beautiful shot in this video. Must have taken so long make this film. Sometimes I think it would be nice to just let a scene ‘be’ for a while eg the 2:04 scene. Then back into time-lapse when the viewer has enjoyed the peace of the scene. Not a criticism, just personal taste 🙏🏻 GREAT work here all round, Morten 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@OnTheMoon-RelaxingNature]

Top quality 😊👌🏻

[@DanielBryn]

Great stuff, the urban ones were ace, and especially the last one on that bus or train!

Thanks a lot Daniel! 😁

Fantastic!!!

[@JasperNebelsieck]

Great video Morten! The time lapses at 2:32, 2:55 and 4:00 are insane!

[@StopLossLOL]

0:12 how did you stabilize this incredibly smooth drone hyperlapse? it looks absolutely stunning!

[@imthatguybrandon]

you can do that in editing

[@StopLossLOL]

@@imthatguybrandon Obviously - but HOW? It's definitely not seomething simple as 'just slap warp stabilizer onto it'.

[@emeric-6810]

Incredible 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@lore88824]

Hi Morten, I really love your work and it is a constant form of inspiration to me, thus I have to be critical about this. I have mixed feelings about this video in that it has the type of nature shots that you are a master at and some new urban and people sequences that in my very personal opinion don’t blend that well with the rest. As it has been already said below, I think people shots don’t lend themselves that well to timelapse, I got an unnatural feeling, same with some shots that don’t have that much moving and thus don’t convey the sense of time passing. Some shots felt more like regular “video” more than timlapse. It could be me, as I’m so fond of your classic nature sequences...even though I appreciated the cityscapes and skyline shots in this video as well, I probably wasn’t prepared to such a different type of video. Hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way... Best

[@AmbientWalking]

Nice!
