Man, the color grading here is beautiful. Feels like every frame was crafted with crazy attention to detail.

This channel gives me so much comfort knowing you can complete videos with the majority of stationary filming instead of all gimbal work. The focus on composition is stellar. Also great color grading and voice-over, keep up the great work!

I’ve been to Japan many times . What the west could learn from them is the way they handle themselves. Their politeness and respect for other people . Hmm it’s so nice not to have everyone pushing in front of you to be the first in line . Or having to listen to everyone’s phone conversation ( because they don’t have their phones on speaker mode. Oh yes and even with 14 million people in Tokyo it’s safe

Just me here binging all your videos 😂 your use of music is so powerful in your storytelling. Love how it progresses everything but how it marries what I’m seeing and feeling. Love it dude!!

Your film brought back with such beauty what I felt and saw when I was in Japan last December. You are correct about the colors in Japan, as that is what stayed with me. Your film also captured the part of Japan I have not seen anywhere else in my travels - the very quiet chaos.

Love your color grading Kyle. I was surprised to learn that you were not shooting on Canon. You clearly put in the work to change the straight out of Sony "look" that typically leans into cooler colors. You grade to pull those back toward golden hour warmth, soft highlight roll-offs, and rich, warmer tones. It makes your films beautiful.

As a traveler and filmmaker who just became a dad myself, our travels have been on a pause for a while. Your videos are such a joy to watch instead. We might take the little guy to Japan soon!
