Gardens By The Bay - Before the Pandemic

In the process of trying to clear space on my computer, I chanced upon a set of clips I shot back in early 2019 during a weekend outing to Gardens by the Bay - here is a short video of that trip! Though the night scenes were stunning, it was unfortunate that my camera lens was not super suited for low light. Looking back, it certainly does feel weird to see crowds of people gathered beneath the...

4 days in Taiwan | Cinematic travel film

Despite being in Taiwan for only 4 days, we did our best to cover as much ground as possible and to experience the most of what Taiwan had to offer. It's one of my favourite asian countries to travel to because of its diverse cultures, incredible scenery and an amazing array of street food. We first visited Yehliu Geopark, a coastal area battered by the sea and eroded by strong winds. Shifen wa...

Kyoto, Japan | a7iii Cinematic Travel Film

My family spent 4 days in Japan exploring Nagoya, a commercial manufacturing and shipping hub, and Kyoto, Japan's famously recognized cultural capital. Both cities were culturally unique - and despite the fact that Nagoya was a lot less touristy, its cuisine offerings were nothing short of mouth-watering. Kyoto had become increasingly commercialized, which was no surprise considering the throng...

Did you film this on your phone?
Yes, almost all these clips were shot on the iphone, with a small handful on the sony a7iii
Amazing vlog, considering how you filmed it on a smartphone!
Glad you liked it! :)
What month did you go for weather reference?
We visited end November to early December!
Hi, can you share date of your winter trip to korea? I plan to korea in jan 2025.thank u before
Hey there, we were in Korea from 28th November to 5th of December 2023!
And the very important is I'm worried if I witness lack of money 🙈 when Im in Korea 😅
I'm worried to get lost there
From my experience, it is actually rather easy to get around :) Do download and familiarise yourself with their local map apps (like Kakao Maps or Naver Maps). Most often they tend to take place names in Korean which you can find on Google!
Thank you Nicholas, so helpful 😊
Will my head get tough there? With the winter cold 🥶
At that time of the year it could be freezing cold 🥶 Do pack some handwarmers!
Among many Korea travel vlog, your video is one of the best, my favorite one. Although I was looking for some inspirations for a family travel ones. I would def check out the hotels and cafes recommendation inucks Busan and Seoul (not really into starbucks coffee though:) ) Thank you, Nicholas. Keep it up!
Hi Gaby, thank you so much for the kind comment! Glad our video gave you some ideas for your next trip :)
Hi what lens did u use for this trip? Great storytelling by the way, edits was amazing as well!
Thank you so much 😊 this video was mostly shot on the iPhone 15 pro
Lovely video. I wanna to ask, if i want to go to Busan on 9/12 and get back to Seoul on 11/12, which the most valuable KTX package option should i buy for 2 passenger? What is Flexible 2-Day Group Pass?
Thanks for watching :) I am not entirely sure about this, but I believe the pass allows you to ride the KTX for the number of consecutive days stated, so for your case, you might need a 3-day pass. We did not get a pass and booked 2 one-way tickets.
@@leesvisuals Thanks for reply 👍
Hi dear Nicholas and Catherine, the algorithm leads me to your video as I was exploring some Busan vlog in youtube. Not sure if you're able to see my comment, just curious to know which flight company did you choose to travel to your first stop in Busan? I am planning to travel there end of December.
Hey Lucas, we took the KTX train to Busan from Seoul, though it is also possible to fly there from Gimpo Airport in Seoul to Busan!
really great video! thanks
Thank you for watching! ☺️
Hi, what is the mode of transport to get from one place to another in both Busan and Seoul?
We got around pretty easily with public transportation in both Seoul and Busan! However I think Seoul is a little more connected in terms of the subway lines. In Busan, you might likely use more public buses to get to your destination :)
@@leesvisuals thanks for sharing
Trying to figure out how you don't have more subscribers/views... Incredible vlog!
Thank you so much ☺️ Glad you enjoyed the video!
gorgeous shots-📹
Thanks for watching! 😊
Cute video and you covered most hotspots!
Glad you liked it ☺️
Awesome video! I missed that Kyoto is a nice city, however I am Japanese.
Thank you so much for watching :) Yes, Kyoto is beautiful😍
That hotel looks really nice! Glad to know it's good because we booked it for our spring trip :)
It really is!! Enjoy your trip :)
Just stumbled upon your channel! Nagano is my dream destination on Winter and Autumn but I'll be visiting this spring. I can't wait! I was pretty surprised that there's snow there by the end of December. That's so lucky given that Japan was hotter than usual last year. Btw, I love the quality of the video! Was majority of the videos taken from Sony?
Glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️ I’m sure Nagano would be beautiful in the springtime too! We were not expecting snow at all too so it was such a pleasant surprise. I’d say about 90% of the shots here were from the iPhone, and some scenes of the snow monkeys and Togakushi were from the Sony
@@leesvisuals Good to know! Thank you!
Beautiful!!!!!
glad you liked it!! :)
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I also shoot an a7III...are you using a gimbal? My videos aren't nearly as stable as yours. Thanks.
Thank you for watching :) About 90% of the shots on here were actually from the iPhone. I actually face the same problem shooting handheld on the a7iii, so I sometimes apply a little warp stabilisation in post for it to look relatively smooth!
@@leesvisuals ah, thanks for confirming! Keep up the good work!
great editing!
Thank youu ☺️
sir should i buy jr pass
Hey there👋 so JR pass prices are now higher compared to previous years, but if your trip routes allow for it, you may be able to get some regional passes such as the Hokuriku Arch pass or Nagano-Niigata Area Pass. You can see if the main JR pass is worth it for your trips using this site www.japan-guide.com/railpass/!
I did the same places last year!
That's awesome!! Any favorite spots or tips? Would love to hear about your experiences
Do you study cinematography? Really like your work.
thank you!! I didn't study film, but I enjoy making videos as a hobby :)
can I know which hotel you stayed in Busan?
We stayed at Lavalse Hotel!
Oh man i was also at Nagano during Jan 1st. I was in between the Nio Guardians at Zenkoji Temple when the earthquake hit and was gawking up at them rocking before my husband and guide dragged me away from them. But the worst part was the uncertainty of reaching Tokyo since we were due to depart Japan on 3rd. Our granclass Kagayaki got canceled but luckily I could understand Japanese so I ran into Nagano stn to catch the non reserved Asama cars to Tokyo. We then spent 4 hours plus slow inching to Tokyo and check in at 12am at Tokyo Hotel. Then jan 2nd at Akiba was just endless sirens which we later found out about the plane collisions.
Wow that sounded really scary! We were on a bus back when the quake struck and we remember feeling both shocked and somewhat helpless. We also walked past the station later that night and there were crowds of people due to the shinkansen cancellations. Glad you managed to make it back to Tokyo!
@@leesvisuals Yea, the scary part was it was mere seconds before the 5 pointer hit Nagano and everyone phone blared earthquake warning. Imagine thousands of phone alerting to brace for impact. Also, at night, all channels were just showing Tsunami warning and panning to some stations where people were getting ready to sleep overnight since their trains were canceled and there were no remaining trains available. It was overall a very scary experience and i'm glad you were able to vlog a little about the experience!
Really gorgeous editing. I like hearing the places under the gentle music. The snow monkeys were beautiful. I’m curious; what were your immediate actions during the earthquake and tsunami warnings?
Thank you 😊 We were on a bus travelling back from the Snow Monkey park when the earthquake hit - emergency warnings started blaring on everyone's phones so the driver stopped in the middle of the road. We were surrounded by open fields at the time so no immediate threat of collapsing structures. When the quake started, we could feel the bus shaking quite strongly and see powerlines swaying. Everyone just remained in their seat and even the bus driver was quite calm too. We had no idea how bad it was (and the subsequent tsunami warnings) until we checked the stats on the official website when we returned to Nagano city.
You should consider driving in Japan. For Hiroshima, yes, Shinkansen is more appropriate. However, to see the smaller towns, countryside, and rustic ryokans in villages driving in the central Japan alps is wonderful. There’s many places near Nagano. Hope you give it a try in the future.
Yes, there are many places in the countryside and Japan alps I would like to visit in Japan, so I would definitely try this out some day. Thank you for watching 😊
Really amazing
Happy 2024 everyone! Hope you enjoyed this short trip to Nagano :) Next up, we would be travelling to the city of Matsumoto, nestled among the Japanese Alps, before going to Kusatsu Onsen for a traditional ryokan experience. Lots of exciting locations to feature, thank you so much for watching!
Nice video Nicholas!
Thank you so much Amy!

What a lovely video! Just the right level of relaxing and you showed a lot, but not too much.
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
hi, amazing video! can i ask what application do you use for editing the video and the first scene with south korea writing? thank you!
Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed the video 🙏 I used premiere pro for editing, including the title scene!
@@leesvisuals thank you!!
Really beautiful & professional video, very clear & sharp, may I ask what camera did you use to record? And what hotel did you stay in Insadong? Thanks
Thank you so much for watching! The whole video was shot using iPhone 15 pro max :) We stayed at N285 Hotel Insadong! It was a pretty cramped room, but in a very convenient location
Oh indeed pro to the max 😮 and you have a stable hand, no shaking at all 👍 Btw, Catherine's hanbok is very pretty, I noticed it's from Hanboknam, is it Themed hanbok? Did you rent it via klook?
@@ratnasutera7561 I’d give props to the auto stabilisation on iPhone haha its really that good! Yes, good observation, it is indeed a themed costume from Hanboknam, which we got via klook ;)
Thanks for sharing all the info, it definitely will be my reference. Already subscribe to see your next trip.
@@ratnasutera7561 Thank you so much!
Loved this! The treatment of the video gave it such a pretty feel too! :)
So glad you liked it! Thank you so much for watching :)
How easy to reach the hotel in Busan and any public transport nearby please?
It was about 2 bus stops away from Busan Station, so we managed to get there quite quickly! But the hotel itself is slightly further from most tourist spots. In Busan you could take the bus and metro using a TMoney card, and it’s pretty efficient :)
@leesvisuals Thank you for your response. I was worried about that the hotel is difficult to get to especially having big suitcases with me and need to have a long walk before getting there.
Great visuals!
So glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
awesome, what months are the winter months?
Winter season starts in December to around February or March, thank you for watching!! 😊
Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!😊
Great winter trip to Korea.
