I finished the first film with my Tokyo footage taken June 1-5. It combines the areas of old San’ya, the east side of Tokyo including Minami Senju, Ueno, Nippori, Minowa, and Asukasa. It also has Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Harajuku from the more modern, western side of Tokyo. I have tried to contrast the old and the new, with film and some still images.
This is an experiment as I move toward completing a personal narrative film about my impressions during the trip, and some historical and current information on the city. I am interested to know what works and what does not.
