I've Got Seoul
My latest attempt at movie making comes out of Korea. As most of you know I've been spending a lot of time there. When visiting the Buddhist temples you always hear a lone monk chanting. I used one as the basic soundtrack to this video. It has a very haunting quality. Seeing as I have spent a lot of time there, this video is packed with my drawings of Korea. I have also captured the vibe of being in Seoul. As usual there is a little comedy thrown in there for good measure. If anyone has a youtube account you can subscribe to my channel by going here. Yu can also friend me on Youtube. One other little tidbit about this video concerns a big mistake I made. When you watch it you will notice there is some high speed trick photography. This happened by accident. The first time I was in Seoul I was filming my ass off. When I got home and looked at it, it was all high speed. I must have hit some button by accident. I was heart broken. It couldn't be fixed. Luckily I went back to Korea and was able to film some more. As I was editing this video I realized that the high speed stuff worked nicely. I love it. If I didn't say anything here, everyone would have though i was some kind of brilliant film maker. Sometimes it pays to embrace accidents.

There are no accidents!
This is great fun to watch. Love the high speed. Love the footage from the Korean fish market. And of course, your drawings.
Thanks for posting this. Glad to know you're a legend in Korea.
What a great short film! ... I'm also trying to get into video little by little, and these shorts are inspirational. Thanks for sharing!
This is by far my favorite of your films. High Speed = great happy accident-I like to think that your guys at the end were saying- "we'll get him, filming us, we pushed the high speed button!" Ha! Who has the last laugh??
Great! Very entertaining, as always.
love, love, love it! Happy New Year, Tommy Kane! Thank you, once again.
Hi tommy, greetings from Madrid, Spain. Thanks for following my blog, I also follow your channel on youtube, and facebook, and in your blog, I'm a fan of yours. I enjoyed this video, I have never visited Korea and has made me short.
Marvellous! What a great way to combine different forms of reportage. The speeded up footage works well.
Very funny ending ;)
Great short. Love the hi speed part it added a different dimension to the visual aspect and the music counter balanced it well. Happy New Year
Thanks for the encouragement. I'll keep doing them and see what happens.
Brilliant.
Another great film, Tommy. I lived in Korea for 15 months and this brings back the sights, smells, and sounds of one of the best years of my life.
Thank You, from my kitchen table in New York.
You're all welcome.
excellent trick photography
and amazing interviews
Really nice video! Good effect with high speed, wonderful insert cuts of sketches. What a gorgeous report from Korea.
