This is a beautiful video. The sort of loneliness and darkness in this video was really comforting. As an introvert this made me feel really happy and relaxed. You've got a great eye for detail and I truly love that. Thanks Tim x
In the end of 2015 I became unemployed. I live in Brazil, my country has been facing a very big crisis, and everything is much more difficult than it was. After losing my job, I was at night, unable to sleep, looking for videos to distract me, when I came across this video. Alone in Hong Kong. This video has changed my life. I decided to pursue an old dream. The dream of being a photographer and filmmaker. And it was this video that inspired me, it was this video that reminded me how much I loved it, and how much I should fight for my dreams. I bought the best camera I could and spent all the money I had, with one Canon T5i, today I work as a photographer, but one day I intend to reach this level, so professional, so deep, to show the world my way of see life, and touch people with my movies. Thank you Tim!
I hope you see this man but that was very inspirational… beautifult said man. I know your doing great in life you have great ambitions! Much love and respect
At this point 1,367 people (including me) who know and appreciate your work have watched and clicked thumbs up, while 4 viewers were actually looking for Spongebob Squarepants. I think, given the arts you pursue worldwide, you can't be as much of a loner as these CZcams snippets suggest, but you certainly have a keen eye and soft touch. I had to click SHOW MORE just to confirm "Music: by me". Thanks for the whole package. A lot of precise work went into these 2 minutes and 21 seconds, a sort of visual haiku in which no syllable, image, or second is wasted.
Loved the grey weather and the overall dark atmosphere mixed with the green of the plants and flowers! Music matches the mood perfectly (as per usual) haha.
This feels like the perfect love letter to my favourite city. I want a looped version of this projected onto a wall constantly. It captures how I feel about Hong Kong perfectly.
+Tim Kellner Tim please help me out. There's a song you used in "Klossy Goes to China" at 0:58. It says you edited the video and music. I have searched all your videos, and your soundCloud. Nothing. If you could let me know the artist/title of the song it would be amazing. Thank you. Also you have amazing videos that deserve more views. Thanks again.
the work your doing is great! you are truly inspiring young film makers such as myself! love every shot and i enjoy watching your videos! I don't just watch your videos once, i watch them over and over because they are so GOOD! well done!
Just discovered your channel now after watching Ben Brown's arctic vlog. Your work is genius bro! Artistic excellence! You need to do this type of video here in Johannesburg! Your style will suit the city's dark character perfectly!! Will also help organize access for you
No one does pacing like you. That's part of your gift. It's like an escape into a quite moment. Love the opening sequence of shots especially. Simply. Beautiful.
I Showed my friend this video in 2016. He was so inspired and moved by how gorgeous it was he wanted to make videos just like this together, then he passed away literally 2 days later after showing him…. I find my self always coming back to this video to think of him. Miss you alex stone🖤
Tim, I've never been obsessed with a filmmaker before. I feel everyone gets inspired by everyone and more or less you get the same story for 10 different creators. But, your content has inspired me and you are what I aspire to be. I can proudly say that I want to shamelessly copy you because it's a noble thing to do for me. Thank you for all of your creations. I've your songs on soundcloud that I listen to when I jog and then when I'm in front of the screen I look at your content. It's harrowing, beautiful, raw and surreal. Thank you so much for giving your visions to the world. Love, Hamza
Tim's videos are the only videos I can smell, touch, and see on a physical level, just through his creative imaginative perception of the world. Thanks dude, those flowers smell fresh
I've watched this video multiple times over the years and every time still feels like the first time. This will always be a favorite video of mine, a constant inspiration that film making is what you make of it, and how being alone is okay.
you turn ordinary things of life into extraordinary. i really admire how you view the world through the lens. absolutely love the dark colors and the relaxing music as well. please dont stop creating, Tim!
Tim, this is by far the best video you've created! Stunning visuals and a great soundtrack to tie it all together. I can't wait to see more! Keep the great content coming!
I've been living in Hong Kong since birth and I've seen those buildings n streets many times, but I never noticed their beauty until now. Thank u for the wonderful video that has opened my eyes u r really amazing
No joke, this was so jaw-droppingly, brilliantly gorgeous, it made me cry. Your shots are UNBELIEVABLE. Some of them are so perfect I can't even understand how you did it. And thematically and musically and in every way, it's so great. Thank you for the art and for the inspiration!
There's so much to appreciate about this video! 1. The audio samples providing history about Hong Kong were a nice addition. 2. I love what you did with Oh Wonder's "All We Do"! 3. The dark clouds and skies are my favorite kind of weather, too. :)
Thank you for the video. It's always interesting to see the way that foreigners view this place, as I've been living here for all my life and will probably be stuck here for years more, and though I'm quite sick of it, videos like this do remind me that there is a certain loveliness to this city.
Very beautiful! It's always interesting to look at the city i live in in the eyes of a foreigner. Video like this reminds me of how important it is too pay attention to my city and observe more coz we're so used to this place and just tend to take things for granted.
wow, wow, wow. great footage (as always), the color grading is stunning, and let's just not talk about the music (amazing), one of my favorite tracks. Sublime.
Wonderful! You are the best editor. Great view of someplace I will probably never go. Thanks for taking me along. Of course I was curious as to what you were listening to in your ear buds. Cheers and safe travels.
This was so beautiful.
+Tessa Violet Thanks :)
This is a beautiful video. The sort of loneliness and darkness in this video was really comforting. As an introvert this made me feel really happy and relaxed. You've got a great eye for detail and I truly love that. Thanks Tim x
+Iris Nuyts Also just wanted to say great job on the music! Hadn't realized you made that yourself as well :)
He is very talented!

This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a while. The shower shot

Love how slow paced this video is considering how Hong Kong is known for its fast-paced city lifestyle.

Truly amazed at how such simple shots can convey so much. I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched this.
I probably watched it like 30 times already. it touches me every time

I've watched this video 12 times over... It's absolutely amazing
Without a doubt some of the best cinematography on the web...
Unreal. What a beautiful short film.
It makes me want to go back to Hong Kong. One of the best places I've been!

The shots and color of this are just lovely.
Great ! really love the feeling you get watching this !
Definitely the best video on your channel yet. You simply nailed it. Thank you so much for this video.
I love this! Theres not many videos that portray Hong Kong like this. I'm from Hong Kong and its pretty cool you were able to capture it like this!
Gorgeous! Absolutely love your work! Very inspiring.
I will never get tired of watching this.
Honestly, my eyes have never been more glued to a screen as they were when watching this. This is phantasmagorical, Tim.
So happy you came to my home HK! Hope you had an awesome time here!!! This is absolutely stunning.
It's awesome to read all of the comments from small youtubers that do similar pieces of film making, keep up the great work Tim!
Music is great Tim. I would love to learn how to compose music like you.
Great work!
I need the soundtrack!!! I heard Oh Wonder mixed in it I think?
Also love the edit! Never been to hong kong but this makes me want to go now :)
This is the track :) - soundcloud.com/timtothewild/hong-kong
Wonderful! You are the best editor. Great view of someplace I will probably never go. Thanks for taking me along. Of course I was curious as to what you were listening to in your ear buds.
Cheers and safe travels.
Could sit and watch your videos for days, so relaxing and amazing
I'm speechless about the background music, it's amazing! Plus nice photography, such a bunch of great shots though.
I honestly have no words at all! You always have amazing videos! You are such an inspiration
Fantastic job Tim. So impressive that you're putting together your own music for your videos. Next level stuff. Keep it up!
Love how you use shadows/light so well in your films. A++
