Because films are pictures in motion...

We wish to present some of the best moments, to the people who haven't got a chance to watch our film yet. For those who have, they would appreciate these unique instants, selected by AmnesiArt.

A first stay in Japan allowed us to discover its rich culture, its fascinating architecture and respectful people. After this deep experience, we built this project and finally made it possible thanks to a two weeks shooting between Kyoto, the cultural capital, and Tokyo, the symbol of modernity.

Through our vision, we wanted to share the special atmosphere offered by this country. We had in mind to recreate emotions we experienced, by capturing these genuine moments.

AmnesiArt comments these still frames from its film: “Japan: A Journey Between Tradition And Modernity”.

The framing of this shot was decided to highlight this classical scene of Kyoto's nightlife.

Hachiko Statue in Shibuya, Tokyo - Japan

We weren't discouraged by the difficult weather to bring back aesthetic images of this symbol of Shibuya.

By using a wide angle shot upwards, we gave the impression that Tokyo's buildings actually scrape the sky.

We used a telephoto lens to show the originality of these window cleaners.

We chose this particular spot to surround the Golden Pavillion with trees and bring out this peaceful scenery.

We shot with a Steadicam to be immersive and get as close as possible of our actor of the day.

The narrow streets of Gion forced us to be creative and find the best spot to capture this moment full of respect.

We wanted a shallow depth of field to draw the viewers' attention to the beauty of cherry blossoms.
