Hong Kong City Blues : A Basho Film

Hong Kong City Blues : A Basho Film

June 4, 2009  |  Basho Films, Featured, General, Travel

Hong Kong city at night. Come with us as we see the amaz­ing night sky­line of Hong Kong.

The Jour­ney starts at the top of Vic­toria Peak, down through the quiet CBD dis­trict (very atmo­spheric in the rain!) and then the view from Kowloon Bay. Finally we head back down­town and the views out­side our hostel.

The night was very beau­ti­ful and quiet with the rain hav­ing driven most of the people away.  Cesca and I spent a good hour or so around the CBD dis­trict tak­ing pho­tos and foot­age in per­fect seclu­sion and silence. Every corner seemed to bring new angles and amaz­ing lights. For such a busy and pop­u­lated city, to have this huge area all to ourselves was very special.

Later, the fam­ous view across the har­bour was set off per­fectly by the many boats ply­ing the waters all lit up like Christ­mas Trees.  Here the angles all pan left to right as the sky­scrapers sparkle and dance in neon lights.

Vis­it­ing this place inspired me to think of my favour­ite movie: Blade Run­ner.  So, I used the music and samples that I could find in my collection.

I hope you like the film!
