so
[Music]
thanks for clicking on the video it
gives me a chance to actually introduce
myself
i'm dave trippin i'm from vancouver
island canada
and i've lived in japan for some time
now i absolutely love three things
i love stories be that in cinema or
books or
speaking to people truth is stranger
than fiction in some cases
i love japan obviously i love
cinema my favorite director would
definitely be
darren aronofsky and i knew that the
moment i watched requiem for a dream
when i was younger
no word of a lie watched that about
eight times now and tried to show it to
anyone i could it's like
jaw-dropping cinematography it's
incredible my favorite cinematographer
would be roger deakins i worked on for
example blade runner 2049
no country for old man whole bunch of
stuff and a close second to him would be
emmanuel lubezki who did things like
children of men
the revenant and birdman his whole
signature is to do
really long single takes and they really
immerse you in the shot which is very
very cool
what what not what could you not say
about the infinite stories and character
that are available for you here
you start in the north hokkaido i've
never had a chance to film there but the
incredible snow
i would love to tell stories from up
there the snow festival
something i've not yet visited if you
move slightly south
my first japanese teacher when i came to
japan kept recommending to me to go to
nico
the peacefulness that you find there and
the sense of
walking through very ghibly ass walking
through a door magical door where on the
other side you get a
actually feel like you were in the
history of the buildings that are
surrounding you there it's tokugawa
ieyasu shrine
i highly recommend you visit or the very
least check out some content where
somebody has told the story of being
there it's incredible tokyo
the endless energy that you find in
tokyo
favorite neighborhoods would definitely
be shimokitazawa
it's young it's hipster probably in a
good way
i would say i really really enjoy that
neighborhood number one though
is going to be kichijoji kijijoji is
super personal
great scale there even though you're in
tokyo
and i've made videos to account for just
how incredible it is
i love tokyo i love the different
neighborhoods each one is a little
microcosm
of personality that you find and people
are telling great stories there
if you move further south again kyoto is
very near and dear to my heart and
that's as we get to know each other i
hope
more of what i can actually share of my
personal story but
people need to know more about western
japan there's another goal i have for
the channel
kyoto osaka i feel like they're
underrepresented
in all the amazing things that people
could learn about if they went there
and especially for me and i hope for you
given time to show you guys this the
traditional buildings there that are
disappearing
i would like to hopefully have some sort
of positive influence in the coming
years to make sure that
kyomachia don't just become this
wonderful thing that people talk about
from the past history of japan
but are actually still there for people
to enjoy
for years and years to come so
if you're going to start on some new
endeavor i think it's really important
to have
clear things that you want to accomplish
and i have that here
on the channel wow to you only in japan
given given this place to share
i think what is most incredible is the
way in which
first we are able to tell stories
through this medium but also
medium as in youtube and cinema but
secondly the way in which
we're able to innovate in this medium
because of the way that it's so
always ever evolving and so i want to
create for you
and i hope you come along for the ride
to check out some of the most
innovative constantly ever evolving
content that you're going to find on the
channel
when i first started i went from windows
media
windows movie maker to sony vegas to
adobe premiere
and i can see in the future the further
steps that i could take to improve
myself
and improve the stories that i'm able to
share with you
so i'm humbled i'm incredibly grateful
to be here
and i can make a certain promise to you
that
as the years go on it's not just gonna
be one thing that you see here
but it's gonna get better and better and
better
and it would be my pleasure to share
that with you and i look forward to
engaging with you as well in the
comments down below when all this stuff
comes out
so thanks for tuning in to this video i
hope that gives you some idea at least
like
the cinema background that i love the
kind of stories that i want to tell it's
about
people not things i think everything is
imbued with the story of the people
and so it's the people of japan and
their individual stories and unique
enterprises and aspirations that they
have which we are going to share
thanks so much as i say humbled looking
forward to creating some amazing stuff
and i will catch you guys in the many
videos to come thanks for tuning in
