Fantastic! Care to share settings? Lens used? Specially for the night shots?

Absolutely awesome.. Love all of it.. Really great combo of great footage and scenery..

I really was in a trance for awhile..

What ISO were you using for most of the might stuff?

I felt an urge to watch blade runner!!

I felt an urge to watch blade runner!!

I just got back from SE Asia, (Bangkok, Ho Chi Min, and Siem Reap)
Walking along Sukhumvit Rd at night, I felt like I was on the set of Bladerunner.
And the Skytrain offers lots of stunning views of the city.

So cool.. I really would love to travel there soon!

Also, why has no one come out with an awesome future movie??

Thanks a lot for the comments guys!

Bangkok is definitely the closest to Blade Runner of any city I have seen and it's a shame nobody really puts it to good use in a movie. Most of the Western movies that are made here are of the 'Western men get lost in exotic Asia and then go home' type. Hangover II did a decent job on it but compared to the real thing it was still pretty lame.

Most of it was shot on the Red 17-50, at night mostly wide open. Some of it on a Lomo 75mm. Some of it is hand held, some on a tripod. ISO goes up to 2000-3200 at night and I have reduced noise on one or two shots with Neatvideo - not because I don't like the noise (I do actually!) but to avoid discussions about noise and because it doesn't compress nicely for the web. Colors done in Resolve.
