Tokyo Localized Tour Video
I recently had the pleasure of creating a promotional video for a truly unique experience with Tokyo Localized. Check it out!
When I first started doing video production in Tokyo, one of my earliest projects was with Tokyo Localized. Back then, I made a short video to promote their free walking tour. We’ve worked together a few times since then, and I was delighted when the owner, Dai, recently got in touch about creating a promotional video for their new tuna cutting experience tour.
The goal of the video was to capture the artistry of the chef, the guest experience, and of course, the all-you-can-eat fresh tuna and sake available on the tour.
Filming in environments like this can be difficult, as you have no control over the lighting or action. Rather than a typical commercial filming, it’s much more akin to event videography or documentary filming in that the happenings are largely unplanned and can’t be easily repeated.
After filming the tour, I edited three promotional videos of Tokyo Localized. The video found above, a shorter social media cut for Facebook and LinkedIn, and a vertical cut for social media reels. If the video left you feeling hungry, be sure to sign up for the tour! It’s a truly unique Japanese experience and not something you’re likely to find anywhere else in Tokyo.
ETHGlobal with Metamask
I recently worked with MetaMask to provide video production services for the ETHGlobal Tokyo event. Check out the promo video I made for them here.
On April 14th-16th, Tokyo played host to the ETHGlobal Event. Each year, this event brings together thousands of people from around the world to network, participate in hackathons, and learn more about the cryptocurrency space in general. In search of a Tokyo video production company to showcase their participation in this year’s event, I was contacted by crypto wallet company, MetaMask. Over the course of three days, I filmed them interacting with fans, hosting panel discussions and networking events, and judging hackathon events.
At the end of the three day event, I edited several videos for MetaMask to use as social media content, including the sizzle reel found at the top of this page. I always enjoy event videography like this as it’s similar to documentary filmmaking in the sense that the majority of what is filmed is unplanned and requires keeping on your toes to capture compelling footage. It was a great experience and I look forward to working with MetaMask again next time ETHGlobal is back in Tokyo.
