Tokyo 8K Walk through Asakusa - Crowds on the Weekend

Asakusa in 8K is really vibrant! You can see it in 4K or HD if you like - it beats 720p HD size that KZread locks me into for live streams. I'll be adding 8K content a couple times a month.
MAP: goo.gl/maps/LWH3pvqP6urAV3jR8 The Nakamise Shopping Street and around Sensoji.
THANK YOU for the support. I'll be experimenting with live conversations this month on the Discord server / discord so join me LIVE during these walks and hear the playback uploaded later.

    Make sure to turn REMINDER ON - I wonder if anyone will be able to tell the difference with 8K. It was filmed with the SONY a1 camera, CInetone color profile, WIDE light-weight 18mm Samyang f/2.8 on a RONIN SC gimbal, RODE Wireless GO ii mics. The Samyang lens is only 145g for Full frame and looks great. I'll try the next 8K video with a 35mm SONY GM lens.

    John this new video resolution is damn freaking cool man. I open this on my 8K TV, me and my family feels like we were there. The lens is magnifecnt too. We can see much more with the wide lens. The cons are only the huge file size, upload time and the processing time. Othern than that the video is cool man. Can't wait for more 8K reso.

    John, the video quality is GREAT throughout the entire video. Not once did the quality deteriorate or cut out. The 720p that cuts out or drops in video quality when you lose signal has made some videos in the past difficult to watch. This video clear and sharp all the way through! On the subject of Asakusa, I'm gonna make it a point to visit Nakamise-dori on my next trip. I want to see this and Sensoji Temple while the shops are still "mom and pop" shops, before they are replaced with larger chain companies. Also, I would like to say that I appreciate that you are bringing Japan to those who can't come during the pandemic and travel bans. However, no video can quite take the place of experiencing Japan in person. I have been to Japan twice in the past 10 years, and the feelings you experience while there just can't be captured in a video. In fact the video just makes me want to go back even MORE!

    I like this style of video. Quicker to produce compared to the main channel videos yet not as distracting as the regular Go videos with the live chat (that I'm personally not a fan of). 8K might be overkill but it is probably good as archival/B-roll type of things since you can "zoom in" on stuff in post production. Lens seems nice, the angle makes me feel like I'm walking down the street myself.

    ​@@onlyinjapanGO Yeah, it's easier to notice the motion, blurry or not. 8K or 4K in KZread has no different to my eyes. I captured you at 00:16 to compare. Both are handsome :p In fact, To watch 4K in a 27" 4K screen may get better result than 8K in a 85" TV. The problem is a lot of 4K screens have very low quailty while 8K usually sell in very high with a good panel. But no comparisions no hurts :) Try HDR too, John! And don't foget to film your baby and keep in RAW format as possible as you can.
