We made this film over 4 days in Kyoto and its surrounding areas. The place has a magical feel, with beautiful temples, mysterious geisha, and tranquil forests. We also made trips out to nearby Osaka, Nara, and Koyasan. Especially in the winter, the snow was beautiful in the Mount Koya cemetery world-heritage. On the technical side, we shot with a Canon 5D Mark II and Sony A65. The 5D was mounted on a Glidecam HD-2000 with the Nikon 24mm f/1.4G lens for the flying shots. The Sony A65 was shot with the Zeiss 24mm f/2 and Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 lenses. Music by Stephen Anderson. Leave a comment, thanks! |
