    I don’t know how you make your money, but I could watch these micromovies all day long (& I am sure they don’t pay much!). Your content is phenomenal!!! Thanks for all you do!

      Not just the Hong Kong tramways. To me it also always feels like a little gift when Brandon uploads a new short movie. This one especially, because I recently was in Hong Kong myself and got on the tram (and got some footage ;).

    Take away all the hype and what you have is pure skill. Brandon- you inspire us to create truth and beauty and not rely on trending transition effects, or exaggerated filters, or clubby music. All these so called "travel vloggers" need to learn from you.

    Oh my lord that tram fly through at the end!! Your eye for emotional camera moment is incredibly intelligent. I feel like every scene has meaning. No filler, all killer. I would love to see your thought process on the inspiration you had for this project from start to finish. Watching you grow from one video to the next is an absolute pleasure. Keep it up!!

  • @chrisgay9623
    @chrisgay9623 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh, thank you for that. I lived in HK for 10 years and regularly commuted by tram. I miss the way they trundle along, in no particular hurry. The tram and the Star Ferry were two of my favorite pleasures about HK. I hope they're always there.

  • @savvy770
    @savvy770 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Brandon, this was such a wonderful homage! I loved every second. And of course Kobe is perfect too ;)
    If you ever had a chance, it would be wonderful if you could make a video on tips for recording real life sounds for later use in post production. As always though, amazing work! Thank you so much for the beauty you can share to the world.

    Thank you…
    I have visited Hong Kong several times (it is one of the World’s Greatest Cities!) and always ride the tram many times, each visit (I also like to ride on the upper deck, in the front seat, like the woman in the video does).
    Your video was very nice, with EXCELLENT production values. My wife (from Vietnam), and our son (half American/half Vietnamese) have not been, yet, to Hong Kong, but we are going to Vietnam in six months, for Tet. We will stop off in Hong Kong on the way there, and ride the tram! I will show them this video. Thank you!
