This video is excellent! I have never been to Seoul but you immersed me in another world from my couch in Ohio. You Tube must have suggested this video after researching the Sennheiser MKE 440 as a possible mic for mirrorless camera. Your passion for sound is contagious! And you help us understand how important sound is to great video. This reminded me of some of my favorite street food content. If you decided to make more like this of any city that you travel to, I would watch every one. Thank you for sharing, you are both very talented!
Some ideas - just brainstorming: sounds that are the soul of a place, sounds that make us sleep, sound that evoke nostalgia, sounds that remind us of a lost reality, sounds that create pleasure (butter in a pan). We have far too many pictures all over - but our brain also reacts to sound, to vibrations.
I love this video. It conveys such a realistic impression of Seoul. It really feels like you'd be right there.
Thank you so much!!
It sounds great - I like the POV perspective. It's really nice to see the sounds and get the vibe from the city. For me, I like this type of video as I might not ever get to Seoul so it's a way to virtually be there. The sounds you guys get paint the picture.... and what a crazy intersection.
We're so glad you enjoyed it Doug. At 12 pm the people come out of the offices and rushing to the cafe shops and restaurants. It's a delight to watch it and reminded us of the Shibuya crossing in Japan but the smaller version.
Really great video to show how important sound is in our lives and how it adds everything to the moving picture!!! Fantastic as always! Pristine audio and video! Great way to show your love of Korea!
Thank you Michael!!
Really enjoyed this video. Getting into field recording now after making my own electronic music around 15 years. Music is a hobby but I am much more passionate about recording. This channel is a big help and just enjoyable to watch. I like the gear based stuff and stuff like this. One day I hope to be able to do something similar. Right now it’s just me and my X8 and a dream. Thank you for what you do. ❤
Love, love, love this video. Please make more like this in each place you visit.
We will Jeff! :)
Really enjoy learning from the dedication to audio on this channel. As someone who has always focused on the visuals, I've neglected audio and I really like pulling inspiration from here. I know you mention gear is secondary, I agree but I love the experimentation and the results it brings with different products to help understand what I enjoy and what I need to capture theses moments. Thanks for journey. I'd love to see / HEAR more.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Rick and more videos are coming soon! :)
Great video. Congratulations Marcel and Libby. I love your channel ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you Emerson!!
Totally Agree. Showing the Sound is the visual journey of much inspiration. Please find nature within the cities as well as you paint your palette. So glad I bought your Lifetime license. Realise also like many creative people you are capturing "the moment" in history and in a moving way the ending of blade runner says it well. "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." (RIP Vangelis my friend)
Nice work!
I also have this mic. I was surprised how good it sounds outdoor when I used it during a wedding and was able to capture clear dialogues from relatively far away (when I did some wide shots)… and it was windy. I was not sure to be able to use these dialogues on the video but it worked great.
Curiously, there is not a lot of reviews on it although I think it’s a great alternative to the Rode mics for mirrorless cameras.
Anyway, I discovered your channel some days ago and I like what you are doing, your work is inspiring and it’s nice to share with us. I will be happy to check and purchase your sounds when needed for my video projects. Keep living your passion and listen attentively to the sounds of the world! 😊
Ah this was an excellent follow up to the binaural video, interesting that your sennheiser mic acheive a similar effect. It was really interesting to see/hear a city presented like a portfolio of almost..... I have never really experienced anything like this before but I think it was really imaginative and again I liked the sense of story this video had. Again so many beautiful moments..... the motor bike vs the push bike, the reverb effect on the sirens as they echo across the city and subways! ♥️! My favourite kind of soundspace. The moment when the train arrives was very magical but I don't want to give it away for other viewers as it was such a nice surprise 😁 I found this kind of video really helps me to get the "feeling" of what it is like to be in Seoul which is somehow more refreshing than watching a straightforward documentary with facts and case studies..... this is very new and exciting to me so I definitely encourage you guys to continue.
Der Sound und die Tipps zum Field Recording sind immer sehr gut und dafür schaue/höre ich immer gerne Eure Videos :-) an dieser Stelle sei gesagt, ein wirklich ganz ganz großes Lob für die Qualität der Bildaufnahmen, die Aufnahmen sehen perfekt in Szene gesetzt und sorgfältig ausgewählt aus, hat mir sehr sehr gut gefallen und würde mich auch über weitere Kommentar- und Musiklose Filme freuen :-)
Danke Andi! Heute geht es nach Malaysia und da filmen wir auch ohne Kommentar und ohne Musik.
Beautiful shots with very immersive audio! I WANT THIS MIC!
Thank you so much!
Wow that’s awesome and the sound is awesome 👏👏👏👌👌❤️❤️❤️, felt like I was just there in every other place, fantastic video and great audio
Thank you so much 🤗
really nice sound quality! I am looking for a good mic for my walking videos and it was hard to find someone who did a video about this topic, thx a lot for this video!!
This was really great! Big things happening on this channel!
Thank you Christian! Let's see where this channel goes :)
Can't wait to see your next destinations! I think somebody mentioned it, but yeah I enjoy more of that hearing of foreigners speak. Natural utters and conversations. And that as if I am there. Sounds of things are probably better for your library, but on youtube, voices are very nice. A friend of mine went around international houses(living in Korea) and made binaral recordings of lullaby in different tongues. (He has social skills and also some good reputation as a recording artist.) We talked about putting binaural microphones on statues. So we'd know what those statues are listening to, on those specific locations. No I really do not like religious statues, but what the heck, it might be intriguing if I listen to the sounds as if I am a buddha. I bet I will hear so much prayer or babbling wishes on material gains... Happy trails, and thank you so so much for the lovely work in Korea! I won't miss you too much because I will continue seeing you~
This is exactly what I'm looking for and what I'm willing to do myself! I love the new format and look forward to more videos like this! Even though I like the gear related videos and technical comments, because it's very helpful and inspiring. BTW, did you gyus see teh "Lisbon Story" movie by Wim Wenders? Generaly, it's about a guy walking arounf Lisbon and recording sounds for the unseen movie. He's literally wathing that bueautiful city with his ears (and mic) - and that is what inspired me to record cieties' ambience years ago. All the best! Waiting for more! :)
Fantastic video. I also thought you were using a the DPA binaurals. The sound was superb, particularly the water lapping scene. You’ve really given me some inspiration as this is the direction I’m going with my Serenity Scotland channel too. Once it hits some revenue you can rest assured I’ll be giving back to you and Libby through your membership!
Oh yes! The sounds of Scotland with wind, rain and also walking videos sounds amazing! Do it :)
One of the best youtube-videos i've seen - im about to begin filming for my first documentary, and your film inspired me to take on my project a different way and search my city for soundscapes first, pictures secondly. Also: Im completely sure, that i have to buy the mke 440 for my project, since sounds for me are so inspiring! Even though i didn't budgeted for this 😅
Thanks to you both!
Thank you for watching!
I really enjoyed the sounds that highlighted that you're in South Korea - the parts that involved voices. That really helps transport me to a different place. Other sounds feel like they could be anywhere else. However I think the one with the fan and rustling leaves was also very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it Ben!
I have had the MKE 440 for some years now. And I love it. At the moment I am using it with a Tascam X8. And while it is early days yet. It appears to be doing well so far.
Hej właśnie zamówiłam mke440. W jaki sposób łączysz Tascam recorder z MKE440?
this is great, i like to see more of this format.
We try Paul :)
Ur channel should have more followers, great video as always.
Thank you so much!!
a quality of a Film. love!
Thank you!!
Ich finde diese Format sehr inspirierend. Dachte auch erst das Ihr die neuen DPA 4560 benutzt habt aber das der Sound aus dem Sennheiser kommt finde ich wirklich beeindruckend. Auch schön finde ich das Libby auch Ihre Perspektive mit Ton anreichern kann. Das bereichert euren Kanal enorm, nicht das es nicht schon vorher sehr bereichernd war - finde Ihr ergänzt euch super (Ich weiß sehr viel Love love love von mir :) ) Walkingformate finde ich persönlich immer interessant da man viel von einer Location mitbekommt - deshalb gerne mehr davon. Grüße aus Wiesbaden
Danke fü feedback Dominik! Das ist wirklich ein tolles Mikrofon und das werden wir jetzt immer im Rucksack haben. More videos coming soon :)
@@FreeToUseSounds ich bin schon echt gespannt 🙏🏻 auch ob es euren Windtest besteht.
@@dominikhaering Hat es schon :) Wirklich super mit den Schutz. Auch der high pass filter am Mikro ist sehr gut.
I love this format!
Thank you!!
@@FreeToUseSounds Is there any particular reason you use the MK440 for your videos instead of one of your $$$$ microphones? I'm considering a walking around microphone
@@joe.santos Well, we use different microphones in different situations. The MKE 440 is only one option. But for walking, run and gun, its a great solution. The $$$ microphones aren’t really for walking.
let me say first, I like your great videos so much! the Sennheiser MKE 440 is the typical jack of all trades but master of none... I like this mic, its mechanically extremly sturdy, so the best choise for run & gun... it delivers stereo and shot gun qualities at the same time and at highest preamp settings a virtualy noise free signal... but thats the problem, it's sound is everything, but never 'immersive'... so I today in this days prefere the AT BP4025 or Rode Stereo X for immersive stereo sound without any compromizes and when it comes to shotgun qualities (isolating dialogs etc), we now have AI to do this job nearly the same way as a shot gun (or double shotgun like the MKE440) could do this... AND we now have the 32bit internal MS stereo recording ZOOM M3... noise level is everything else but professionell, so its only usefull for bussy enviromentals... but MS recording and using a mic without cable connection to the camera (which needs sync in post) is so amazing and convenient for run & gun video... 130 gramm, put it everywhere (due to the internal 32bit float recorder) and change field pattern in post... it's so amazing
Great Quality always, what camera and lenses did you use, color grading?
Awesome content as always!!
At the end of the video we talked about the lens and the camera.
Wow i am impressed, i thought this were the dpa 4560. Cool new format that you guys have created with this :) But we also need gear videos :) All the best for you in Malaysia!
Thank you Florian! Time to leave in a couple hours :)
Very nice direction, I agree. Question about the capture, was it directly into the Sony or did you use a recorder and sync? IF you were going to use a recorder, would the F3 with some sort of XLR splitter work do you think? If via the Sony, how did you set the record level... did you have to adjust constantly as the location changed? Cheers.
great film! thank you for come to korea!
Glad you liked it! We're back in summer :)
Diese Sound Walks sind ja sehr beliebt auf CZcams, vor allem auch bei Regen oder in der Weihnachtszeit in New York z.B. Die meisten nutzen dafür eine GoPro oder eine DJI Pocket und ergänzen das mit einem H1n oder Ähnlichem. Die Kombi aus hochwertiger Kamera, exzellentem Objektiv und sehr gutem Mikrofon bedeutet aber nicht nur eine bessere Bildqualität, sondern auch, dass man keinen Ton mehr synchronisieren muss.
Ich bin mir sicher, dass regelmäßige Videos dieser Art euch viele neue Abonnenten bringen werden. Denn Qualität zieht sich bei euch ja wie ein roter Faden durch alles, was ihr anpackt. Ich freu mich schon auf den nächsten Sound Walk aus Singapur. Viel Spaß dort und viele Grüße - Til.
Hi! Liebe Grüsse aus dem Singapore Flughafen. Wir sind hier nur einige Stunden und fliegen weiter nach Malaysia. Wir machen aber ein video von der Reise. Sounds of travel :)
Ha ha. I feel like you just played a trick on me Marcel ! ;o))) I was not expecting that. I listened on my headphones and had no idea the surprise ending was coming. I thought the mic sounded great at first in the market and all of the video actually. Just shows you how easy it is to be tricked. I suppose the mic was going straight into the camera and we hear the camera audio ?
Anyway, a nice and relaxing video. I like the change of format but prefer your usual style videos if I'm being honest. A mix of the two would be perfect. I still enjoy them a lot. Thanks guys.
Ha Ha yes the Sennheiser microphone goes directly into the camera and that is what we're hearing.
Can you please do a video comparison on contact microphones:
AKG C411 PP CONTACT MICROPHONE vs the Geofón (LOM).
I'm really interested in buying a contact mic, and was thinking of getting the Geofón, but they're really annoying to buy.
Wow this place is Seoul! Sewoon sangga.
Are you using a gimbal? Have you started some type of course to teach people how to do this type of amazing work? I am so impressed with these videos.
Hello Jeff! Thank you so much and we didn't use a gimbal. Libby did everything handheld. We using Catalyst Browse for post stabilization. We don't have a course and don't plan on doing. You probably find some courses about this on Skillshare.
Hi! I've come across your channel as I'm planning to start walking videos! The DPA 4560 is currently not available in my country (and is a bit pricey). If the MKE 440 is a good replacement, would you recommend it for recording nature sounds over the BP4025? I currently own it but I can't really use it for walking videos... Really need your help!
I love this so much, I think I'm going to order an MKE440! Did you use a gimbal or did you just rely on the camera's IBIS or Catalyst Browse?
Thank you so much! No gimbal used. Libby only used Catalyst Browse in some of the shots.
@@FreeToUseSounds Thanks! Looks and sounds awesome!
Very nice. And did you use a steadicam/gimbal on this one? Or maybe catalyst browse?
Hi Bruno! We used Catalyst browse. No gimbal needed.
Thank you! How much did you crop?
the mke440 doesn't have the volume knob how do you set the levels that are loud enough but doesn't clip when things get loud? also does it have the same self noise problem as mke400?
I’m hearing the theme to Koyaanisqatsi while watching this. :)
Great video. One of your Fans.
Thank you!!
I find ge new mic with sony camera how about sony ecm-m1
Loved this format. I didnt like that drilling/steel cutting noise at 3:40 aahhh! Keep with the different style formats.
Thanks you Clint!!
👍 well done
Thank you 👍
On the MKE-440, can you turn the mic around to the rear if wanting to narrate while filming?
Sure you can turn the microphone around.
I like this kind of video. Maybe even cut it slower on the eye and let it really be immersive.
Thank you for your feedback Ron! You mean less cuts between the scenes and keep them longer?
I came here to learn about the sennhei--...oh, this is nice. Everything is so calm. It's so peaceful. Mmmh, nice sounds. Wait, why am I here?
Because of the Sennheiser :)
@@FreeToUseSounds love it!
I'm Korean and I work as a sound mixer in Korea, so if I have time, I think it would be nice to have a meal together. If you're still in Korea.
