Traffic in Frenetic HCMC, Vietnam

The original version of this video is included here: vimeo.com/32958521.
Những người từng đến TP.HCM đều biết rằng một phần ma thuật (yêu hoặc ghét) là giao thông ở đây. Kể từ khi đặt chân đến đây, tôi bị quyến rũ bởi sức sống mãnh liệt của thành phố. Sài Gòn là thành phố nhộn nhịp không giống như bất kỳ điều gì tôi từng trải nghiệm trước đây, và tôi muốn chụp lại để chia sẻ với mọi người
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is an amazing up and coming city.
This time lapse is a culmination of 10,000 RAW images and
multiple shoots capturing some of the cities relentless energy
and pace of change.
Everyone who has visited Ho Chi Minh City,
Vietnam knows part of the magic (love it or hate it) is in the traffic.
Ever since I first set foot in HCMC I have been captivated by the
cities energy. Saigon is a city on the move unlike anything I have
experienced before which I wanted to capture and share.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the film and thanks also
to the numerous kind people who allowed me access to some
amazing locations.
Soundtrack to the video is the energetic Mondo'77 by Looper - z6.co.uk/sy

the day this video was uploaded feel like yesterday to me, good old time!

[@uneon2k]

i am from taiwan and i used to live in vn for months. i must say this film shows the true beauty and attractivity of hcm. as a timelapse, your work it's definitely among the best, which is also my favorite. thanx for sharing

[@guyfaithfully]

All I can say is INCREDIBLE !! Love it ♥♥

[@chaole1000]

It'll be interesting to see an updated video from the same camera locations since so much has changed in the last 10 years.

[@vuonglevinh5923]

Thu Thiem Ferry was memorable. Lots of things have changed, hope you visit again to see what the difference between the past and now

[@phapnui]

You've created an art masterpiece out of Saigon traffic. Awesome!

[@superboss126]

if you look closely at ben thanh area (the market with the clock on top), it looks very much alike with times square. hopefully after 10-15 years there would be a bunch of skyscrapers already up (benthanh twin towers, le loi hotel/saigon financial center, eximbank tower, sjc, etc.) and the 23/9 park will be cleaned up and renovated with a large metro terminal, we would have a times square 2.0 in vietnam. i don't want it to be like times square in ny or better, probably 2/3 is good enough

[@wanderingtanks]

Cómo madres le hacen para cruzar la calle???

[@100mA]

unglaublich :D

[@shadytech00]

Why they made roundabouts instead of traffic lights?

[@QueenQuyen]

In Vietnam, we do have traffic lights but Mr. Rob filmed roundabouts more instead, I guess the reason was because the traffic movements looked more interesting and distinguished

[@nhanlm0601]

ShadyGrand because roundabout is more efficient than traffic lights if the traffic is not heavy

[@hungmanh0908]

hên là cái clip này mấy anh vn nhà mình ko biết.nếu ko là vào cải nhau um lên
