Thank you for all the kind comments. If you’d like to support the channel and enable me to keep creating videos like this, please consider joining my Patreon - www.patreon.com/bonsaireleaf. I’ll be sharing some of what goes into creating these videos, bonsai tips and tricks, and lots more!
This is something i've never seen before in a bonsai video! It gives the clearest demonstration of wiring & its direction. Makes it hard to watch any other tutorial now! You set the bar!
This guy is to bonsai what my mechanics is to restoration, just insane. You'd think he'd apprenticed in Japan for 10 years whist taking a filming and editing masters.
Sick tree. It’s been too long since your last video!!! Edit: You have outdone yourself. I didn’t think that stop motion effect could have been improved, this time it looked as if the tree was actually moving by itself. Outstanding videography!!
For fellow bonsai practicioners, sometimes it happens that you see a tree that makes you understand bonsai a little deeper, finely and intuitively. This cycle never stops. This is one such a tree for me, thanks a lot for sharing.
This video blew my mind! Not only is the quality of work on the yamadori especially good but also the video editing, the synchronisation with the music with the cutting of branches and the timelaps of the binding process...this literally made my day! Thank you!
Even before you styled the tree, it looked beautiful in its natural state! But gosh, seeing the before and after.... it's like day and night. Two beautiful trees: one natural, one designed.
This stop motion style of documentary is absolutely outstanding and unique in the bonsai video genre. Just awesome, like the trees and what you make of them.
I don't know any videos that really demonstrate the entire spirit of bonsai quite like yours. You clearly articulate your artistic vision, explain your use of sustainable technical skills to manifest it, and brilliantly film the whole process for a video that's beautiful from start to finish. Yours are the videos I show to people when I want to explain what bonsai is.
Thanks for the kind words. Part of the inspiration for this channel came from trying to explain the spirit of bonsai to people and the realisation that no one had any idea what I was talking about 🤣
@@BonsaiReleaf It's difficult! The thing you're aspiring from is often so removed from the place you start, and the results of your actions so delayed from when you take them, that it feels impossible to "show somebody bonsai." You do a great job showing the journey in a short enough time for somebody to grasp the big picture without skipping important steps. And just as importantly I think you make the whole process look as gratifying as it feels!
@@denvernow7294 I basically meant skills that make the tree look better now but also set it up for success in the future. Things like pruning at the right time of year and at the right place to avoid dieback, setting the branches so the foliage will get sunlight, that sort of stuff.
the way you bring youth culture into the art of bonsai is honestly amazing. being an owner of 4 bonsais myself I love turning to your videos for ideas and techniques I can implement on my own.
Flippin heck... I'm speechless... where do I begin... your skill as a bonsai artist is off the chart, your vision to see the bonsai from within the raw material.. the horticultural skill... then the lighting, photography, stop motion photography, videography, editing, music... just blown away by it all and I've been keeping bonsai for over 30 years, you have a skill that's rare. Very very very impressive.
I'm speechless, I don't know what to say, I mean, I don't know if I want to praise the bonsai, the tree, the video, your vision, the editing, I almost even cry when your son put the last piece. Damn, absolutely fantastic, all of it. I want more!
I hardly ever bother commenting on videos, but this is effing great. As a motion/video editor myself, I can see the effort that has been put in here. Bravo mate.
You don't post many videos, but when you do, both the bonsai and the videos are works of art. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's apparent that you are a good parent as well.
Again idk what to applaud first, your video production work or your actual bonsai work! You are an amazing person, thank you for all that you do and share with us.
the level of production and effort you put into these videos truely does not go unappreciated. Not only a master craftsman when it comes to bonsai, but also videography and editing. Stellar work
I have been practicing Bonsai for a lot of years and still a novice of course. That being said, I very very much enjoy your videos they are the best. I love the tranquility and stop motion photography. Your work is amazing. Being a father of 3, the young boy of which I believe is your nephew is a perfect touch. Thank you much for all your efforts...
I have always thought that bonsai were beautiful. But YT has allowed me to appreciate the artistry and talent involved in shaping such beauty. Thank you
The bosai work is master class, but what is more impresive is the dedication and cinematography this guy puts while working on the trees, just pure relaxation. Keep up the good work, looking forward for more content from you, its satisfying and inspirational!
I can’t imagine the work which goes into these videos. The editing and music and timing and detail and stop motion and all the rest is like nothing I’ve ever seen. These videos are mesmerising.
his fine technique and the love with which he conducts his work really impress... Congratulations on your competence and good taste in your productions my friend.
It's been a while, but so worth the wait. The music, lighting, composition and editing are all spot on. And of course your artistic and balanced attitude towards the tree, is a thing of beauty, 11/10. 💙
OMG, I can't even realize how much work is in this video. The branch positioning part is extremely good.... and the patience and knowledge how you do your work. Hats off to you!
Ive been re-watching the other videos waiting for a new one! This one is so beautiful, juniper is used alot in bonsai and often training guides and books will use it as an example but the way he made this one shine is like something ive never seen. Even with a very traditional styling it felt like a fresh breath ✨️.
Thanks for the kind words and feedback. I think junipers are used a lot for their ability to be quickly transformed (which is why 3 of my videos so far are of junipers!) but as time goes on I hope to change it up a bit more
The editing on this channel has gotta be some of the best on TH-cam! Really enjoy watching the branches move 'by themselves' - so mesmerizing with the music!
You are not only a Bonsai, but also a video artist - not to mention your drawing skills. Thank you for sharing your skills with us! A MUST SEE for every bonsai enthusiast.
Bonsai Relief and Internet Historian are the two channels that I think do the best job of delivering quality over quantity. They don't post very often but I'm more than happy to replay their videos while I wait for the next to come. I also love the clips of your son! He is super adorable!
@@BonsaiReleaf Yay! Thank you for replying to my comment! Your channel is awesome and I can't wait to see more. I love that you actually explain the why behind everything you do for these beautiful trees. Internet Historian's stuff has a hilarious way of combining memes and huge events of the past. His content isn't for everyone but it's well made. I do like his second channel, Incognito Mode, as well. It introduces other youtubers to join him and discuss various topics like food, fashion, and architecture. It's almost like a podcast but with a bunch of editing
@@dotty7789 Thanks for the feedback, I genuinely find it very helpful to know the things that people appreciate. At the risk of losing my Tuesday night, I'll have to check out the other channel too now!
gotta drop a comment and say how much i love the stop-motion portions showing the repositioning of the branches. if there were just a before and after, it would feel too obscure to understand how the end result was achieved. seeing the process of first repositioning the larger branches, then the smaller ones, and then trimming the excess growth, bit by bit, it gives more insight into your thought process and makes me feel like make i too can make a bonsai one day! 💜
from the before to the after it literally looks like the tree ages backwards from a contorted elderly man, to a young and graceful dancer. it looks so alive and vibrant, it appears as if its literally giving a bow or curtsy. truly captivating flow and energy, its so so beautiful to look at. youre an incredible artist man thank you for sharing
What a magnificent yamadori! The bending timelapse is the best i've ever seen. Out of this world professional styling. Videography is sick! And like you said, your nephew made an appearance again :)
This is next level, so relaxing, you make the best bonsai videos out there... truly wish more people would see the beauty in that, then you'd become famous and more people would see the appeal to share with such talent their bonsai transformations, and internet would become 50% cats and 50% bonsais, heaven... You set the bar pretty high tho...
I swear all of your videos make me cry. My son is 4 months old and I just can't wait to explore nature and create beauty with him, and seeing you with your son makes my heart long for that even more strongly. Your bonsai and videos are pure excellence all the way around. Thank you
The beat and flow ' *snap* ' of the editing is just as good ' *snap* ' as the tree. You're a very talented ' *chap* ' ! - Why don't these vids have millions of views?
My goodness, you're not only talented for bonsai but also, the freaking off the charts quality of your videos. I hope i can get at least 10% of your bonsai abilities. Please give us more content.
Always love it when you upload a video, never disappointed! Beautiful work on this one Mate and from the Little Helper too. I'm blown away that it's already 70+ years old too! As always, thank you much for a relaxing and tranquil watch.
I usually never comment on TH-cam videos but this really needed all the recognition it deserves, your work has been a treat to my eyes and to my soul. I can feel your passion in your craft. Quality over Quantity any day my friend!
I get genuinely excited when I see that there is a new video up from you. Thank you so much for sharing all the work you do with these trees! I loved seeing you sharing your craft with the next generation as well!
This is living art captured in its purest form. . . a vision, a tree, and a virtuoso. Something about the illustration of the tree at 0:50 always speaks to me in big ways. Aside from the documentary-quality production, this tree was masterfully styled. I can't wait to see the next leg of this journey!
@@BonsaiReleaf Of course, it's subjective, but I think the drawing segment exhibits your mastery across mediums and allows you time to explain your design choices in a very visual way, which is helpful to people like me! 🙃 It also sets an inspiring tone for the rest of the video. Oh, and I forgot to mention it, but the stop motion piece was UNBELIEVABLE. As someone who has worked on a few stop-motion projects before, I have can't imagine how much time and patience that took.
Hello again everyone!! Awesome video again! I absolutely love these video's! The editing is also top notch! Especially with the music! We now stream these videos on the big screen and take a our time to peacefully watch the video! See you all in a couple of months for the next masterpiece!
Wow. That was incredible. The tree is insane and the editing made it perfect. Great video editing, everything is just right here! I will definitely watch the video many times. And the little boy makes it so unique. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Hope another part comes soon 😍👍🏻
You really can’t be upset about the upload frequency when the production is this insanely high. Those stop motion shots were incredible. Beautiful transformation
Definitely the positioning of the moss by the little dude takes this tree to a whole new level! Wow, what a masterpiece. Well done, and well put together video.
I've seen hundreds of bonsai videos but this one breaks all records! ! ! ! ! The graphic and complimentary design is breathtaking ! ! ! well done sir ! ! ! ! !
I honestly really love these videos. And like the bonsai, the fact that you don't post so much really adds to the aesthetic of patience and perseverance.
Your videos are like symphonies, man. So textured and nuanced. About so much more than just the subject. The story you tell with every video is undeniably rich and spiritual. Glad I ran into your channel.
Great work and vision😊. Love that you showed the stop motion of the branch placements. Gives a great feel of what work you are doing to achieve a look.
on occasion, i’ll revisit your channel to see if you’ve uploaded again and i always get excited when you have. every aspect of each of your videos is soo well thought out and executed. i love the drafting phase with your beautiful sketches and the meticulousness of your sculpting. you truly represent the art of bonsai graciously and it’s clear you’re incredibly passionate and talented. the frequency of video uploads is never an issue as each new one is better than the last and i pray you never fall victim to feeling like you must rush your work and therefore lose your passion. you sir, are about the best thing on youtube and you should never stop making these videos. thank you, so so much.
just finished watching and yeah i just gotta reiterate, you’re legendary mate. best vid so far! now to rewatch all your other ones for like the billionth time XD
Thanks for the kind words. Your feedback is much appreciated, it helps me to understand that parts like the sketching is enjoyed. I’ve definitely felt victim to thinking I must work faster, but I’ve also discovered that that thought alone isn’t enough to make it happen 😆 Thank YOU 🙏🏼
Congratulations. Without doubt, the very best bonsai videos ever. I imagine the editing work involved, but the best is your artistic vision , the impecable photography and your nephew, adds a tender and fresh touch. To enjoy more than a film.
This transformation was mind blowing. The video editing, music, lighting, and the final touch of tiny hands is wonderful. Thank you for sharing, BR ❤ Subscribed.
Amazing work on this tree! I've probably watched over a thousand bonsai videos in the past few years, and that stop-motion effect starting around 8 mins is the coolest thing I have ever seen!
Amazing video as always! I got so hyped when I saw you had posted 😅 The stop motion when wiring was so cool, it really is neat to take the tree take shape.
Awesome!! Love this tutorial and style of teaching! Thank you for sharing!! You child is awesome!! I wish my boys followed me on my adventures with this new hobby and make it their own someday.

Thank you brother, this is ART, beautiful art, did you edit the video? the editing is masterful!
You know it’s a good day when bonsai relief posts
you could say it's a relief. i'll let myself out
@@asdfghjsdfgg1841 stay wya bro that had me dying lmfaoo

Kekw that was funny
Nice
I don't know which is better. . . His Bonsai skills or his video/audio editing skills. Truly exceptional!
video skills for sure. I mean the tree already looked amazing when he started out
Dude... I'm not sure what's more impressive... your bonsai work or you videography/post production work. Another stellar video!!!
Both for sure
The patience is incredible. The videography probably took longer than working on the tree.
I know! I’m a film editor and bonsai lover and it’s like Christmas when he releases a new video!
@@yusefsvacina9389 I'm just someone who smokes to much weed and watches youtube.
Omg so funny! I just discovered this channel & was mesmerized by both his talents. Beautiful!
I Love the parts when he gets invisible for giving us a better look on the bending
I’ll try to figure out a way to make myself invisible throughout 😉
That's the best, it looks awesome
This is something i've never seen before in a bonsai video! It gives the clearest demonstration of wiring & its direction. Makes it hard to watch any other tutorial now! You set the bar!
it's amazing😯💪👍
Heck, I'll wait a year for this kind of content.
I'm subscribed to about 50 channels, this is one of maybe half a dozen that I'll go looking for as soon as I notice there's a new video been posted.
Saaaaaame! It's sooo good.
Definitely
Maybe it will take longer,...
When you go invisible and start folding the branches....that is legit the best. I know it takes forever to edit something like that
This guy is to bonsai what my mechanics is to restoration, just insane. You'd think he'd apprenticed in Japan for 10 years whist taking a filming and editing masters.
Perfect analogy right there
Agree👍
Chinese penzai
Just what I thought
LIke other culture, this is not Japan art
Master class in bonsai, videography and storytelling. Thank you for this
Sick tree. It’s been too long since your last video!!!
Edit: You have outdone yourself. I didn’t think that stop motion effect could have been improved, this time it looked as if the tree was actually moving by itself. Outstanding videography!!
The quality of the videos is a function of the time between them. The bonsai + the editing take up a lot of time.
Thanks @Bonsaifly. I couldn't help but question some of my life choices on day 3 of the time lapse, but it sounds like this one at least was worth it!
The stop motion was incredible. Gave me some intense nostalgia vibes to old stop motion cartoons I watched as a kid too.
@@BonsaiReleaf no wrong life choices made, it was all worth it!
@@BonsaiReleaf it was soooo worth it!
For fellow bonsai practicioners, sometimes it happens that you see a tree that makes you understand bonsai a little deeper, finely and intuitively. This cycle never stops. This is one such a tree for me, thanks a lot for sharing.
I like that this guy came out of nowhere and just dropped awesome bonsai videos with no ending in sight
This video blew my mind! Not only is the quality of work on the yamadori especially good but also the video editing, the synchronisation with the music with the cutting of branches and the timelaps of the binding process...this literally made my day!
Thank you!

All too rare, and more impressive because of.
I'm not sure if he's mastering bonsai or filming ? Coz he's both in there 😃

Its sad that his view count has been declining per video.
Legit the best bonsai video I’ve ever seen. The stop action was incredible. You’re the man

You remind me very much of a friend I suddenly lost a couple weeks ago. These videos have really helped instill some calm
I love your stopmotions! It really showcases the movement and structure you add to the bonsai. Keep it going!!
Thank you, will try to keep adding them in!
I've seen hundreds of bonsai videos but this one breaks all records! ! ! ! ! The graphic and complimentary design is breathtaking ! ! ! well done sir ! ! ! ! !
I can only imagine how many he's worked on and didn't film to get to this point. So much fun to watch!!
I honestly really love these videos. And like the bonsai, the fact that you don't post so much really adds to the aesthetic of patience and perseverance.
Absolutely stunning! Have rewatched your videos countless times. The artistry and finesse are just off the charts!!!
The quality of these videos is insane! Great work as always, it looks beautiful
Thanks Thomas
Your videos are like symphonies, man. So textured and nuanced. About so much more than just the subject. The story you tell with every video is undeniably rich and spiritual. Glad I ran into your channel.
Concordo,freends
The stop motion was actually the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while!
Amazing video! 😊
Great work and vision😊. Love that you showed the stop motion of the branch placements. Gives a great feel of what work you are doing to achieve a look.
I was looking forward to a new video, but this is really astonishing! So perfect in every detail.
on occasion, i’ll revisit your channel to see if you’ve uploaded again and i always get excited when you have. every aspect of each of your videos is soo well thought out and executed. i love the drafting phase with your beautiful sketches and the meticulousness of your sculpting. you truly represent the art of bonsai graciously and it’s clear you’re incredibly passionate and talented. the frequency of video uploads is never an issue as each new one is better than the last and i pray you never fall victim to feeling like you must rush your work and therefore lose your passion. you sir, are about the best thing on youtube and you should never stop making these videos. thank you, so so much.
just finished watching and yeah i just gotta reiterate, you’re legendary mate. best vid so far! now to rewatch all your other ones for like the billionth time XD
Thanks for the kind words. Your feedback is much appreciated, it helps me to understand that parts like the sketching is enjoyed. I’ve definitely felt victim to thinking I must work faster, but I’ve also discovered that that thought alone isn’t enough to make it happen 😆
Thank YOU 🙏🏼
Really wish I could interview this guy and learn his story. His channel is a testament to what makes TH-cam great and Bonsai as well.
Congratulations. Without doubt, the very best bonsai videos ever. I imagine the editing work involved, but the best is your artistic vision , the impecable photography and your nephew, adds a tender and fresh touch. To enjoy more than a film.
This has to be one of the top videos on youtube, literally, TOP 10 , where else have you seen quality and editing like this, I'll wait.
I’m glad no one has answered this 😆
I don't know what's more impressive, the trees or the editing!
Best videographed and most artistic bonsai videos on the internet. Thank you for sharing your talents!
This transformation was mind blowing. The video editing, music, lighting, and the final touch of tiny hands is wonderful. Thank you for sharing, BR ❤ Subscribed.
Thanks Andreas
Amazing work on this tree! I've probably watched over a thousand bonsai videos in the past few years, and that stop-motion effect starting around 8 mins is the coolest thing I have ever seen!
I'm so happy you posted again!! I love this channel and your art. it's beautiful!!
this is insane , you are insane m8.! the bonsai art is thousands of years old but the progress is endless thx to ppl like u
Amazing video as always! I got so hyped when I saw you had posted 😅 The stop motion when wiring was so cool, it really is neat to take the tree take shape.
Think I can safely say this is hands down my favourite TH-cam channel. Everything is 11/10 in every single video
So talented!! the videos just get better and better. The rough forming stop motion was amazing to watch as the tree began it's transformation 🙌 😍
Awesome!! Love this tutorial and style of teaching! Thank you for sharing!! You child is awesome!! I wish my boys followed me on my adventures with this new hobby and make it their own someday.
Thanks. My nephew humours me more than anything 😂
