Andrew Buckingham, Filmmaker…?
Well, maybe not. But i have taken many videos on my Canon A95 digital camera. i certainly won’t win any Academy Awards for my videos, but they might be interesting for people who’ve never been to Asia. I’ve been meaning to post some of my videos, but I’ve never gotten around to it.
Ok, disclaimer time…As i said, I shot these with a basic digital camera, often under less than ideal conditions. The video quality, sound, and camera shake might deter some people from watching them. But if you are interested in catching a glimpse of some things i have seen, and if you are willing to risk motion sickness, I present the world premiere of Andrew’s Homemade Travel Videos!!! Read on…
Trains
I’ve taken a lot of pictures and videos from trains. Of course, it’s hard to tell what you will get when you are pointing a camera out the window of a moving train. The video quality is not so great. I sometimes catch sides of buildings or tunnels. But you can get a good idea of what it is like to ride on a train.
1. Shinjuku
This was shot on the Sobu Local train, leaving Shinjuku. You can see the East side of Shinjuku. I’ve often mentioned Shinjuku and I have taken many pictures. I live about 10 minutes or so from Shinjuku, and it is one of the busiest stations in Tokyo.
2. Cherry Blossoms in Ichigaya
3. Ogikubo Station
All aboard! This was taken at Ogikubo Station, my home station. I often take that train, the Chuo Line Express, to work. In fact, i got on this train after I shot the video.
I hope you enjoyed those. Would you like to see more? If people want to see more, I will put upload more later. If not…well, I won’t give up my day job, then.
