Video of the Day - Journey through Asia
If you have 4 minutes to spare and a virtual tour through Thailand, Cambodia, & Vietnam strikes your fancy; sit back and enjoy this beautiful montage from filmmaker Ivan Vania.
Shot with a Canon 5D Mark II and set to a soundtrack by Yann Tiersen (composer of the score for Amélie), it's an incredibly vivid depiction of the boat rides, temples, smiles, and landscapes that many travelers to Southeast Asia are familiar with. Ivan does a great job of mixing wide angle shots of the environment with close ups that capture the detail of the locations and the expressions of the people he encountered, which adds to the video's realism and authenticity.

How is it that all of these videographers get access to such great audio? Does Vimeo just not scan for poached audio or are they legitimately getting permission?

9 times out of 10, the videographers are stealing the audio, but in this case it looks like guy has some sort of license - maybe he's friends with ol' Yann!

beautiful video. May I ask what the name or hotel of the building that you shot on the rooftop in Bangkok? Keep it up.

The filmmaker mentions on his Vimeo page that it was shot at a bar called Vertigo (on top of the Banyan Tree Hotel) in Bangkok. Here is the link that he gave: http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Asia/Thailand/Central_Easter n_Thailand/Bangkok-1445238/Restaurants-Bangkok-Vertigo-BR-1.html

Awesome video... takes you there. Love the way it is shots too... shots around corners, people's hands, feet rather than straight on... cool!

Thanks so much for sharing Stephen. Such a great video. I've been to Vietnam and was strongly impressed by its amazing beauty. SE Asia is a wonderful place, full of traditions and new things for any tourists for discovering.
