Stunning film poem of Tokyo

Though I gather Chuzenji-ko isn't exactly in Tokyo.

Totally vacuous.

[jjj]

Not your taste then.

I liked the recorders.

A Guinness advert?

[jjj]

Why would you think that?

I imagine he's thinking of this. The soundtrack, the narrator.

Yeah, & a few of their other ads. That was my immediate impression watching the vid.

I guess you must think all landscape photographs look the same too, as they usually contain both sky and ground. 
Are you also one of those people who falsely claim that all Latin/Dance/Rock/Classical or whichever genre you dislike, all sounds the same too?

The Guinness White Horses is one of my favourite bits of advertising film making, yet I never conflated the two because they are quite different.

In the Guinness commercial, the sound, music and pictures combine to make a coherent whole. The Tokyo film is incoherent. It doesn't make any sense. It's all style over substance.

Thanks for sharing.

In fact very little is filmed in Nikko/Chuzenji-ko. Half of the lake scenes are in Hakone/Ashinoko. Only Kegon no taki and a few views of Nantai san are around Chuzenji-ko that is indeed more than 100 kms North East of Tokyo.

Cheers,

The percentage doesn't matter really, the fact it's a different place does.

No.

http://www.alexandredeschaumes.com looks quite different from http://www.chuckkimmerle.com/gallery_winter.shtml to my eyes.

I don't bother placing music in genres, I just listen to stuff if it interests me or I like it. I don't even worry about whether it's any good or not.

The track used for the White Horses ad is one of my favourite tracks ( I'd go for the Dave Clarke remix ).

Favourite ads? Probably

Point missed entirely. Of course they are different.

Just like the ad and the video are.

Very beautiful indeed.

Truly amazing what this guy does with the most minimum simple gear.
