New Zealand in 4K (Ultra HD)

As a graduation present, my wife and I took a trip to New Zealand for a month.
We couldn't resist bringing our Epic camera, as we just got our new Canon mount, and our first Canon lens. We didn't shoot much as we were out enjoying the country, but what we did get we figured we would share here on YouTube. (Katie's note: There was lots of hikes where we packed the camera in with us and then forgot to film because we were having a good time. What a beautiful place!)

Please make sure to watch it at Orignal HD to enjoy the full 4k images :-).

Tech spec:
Red Epic (M642) w/ Ti Canon Mount
24-70mm Canon L-Series lens
Kessler Crane Cineslider w/motor
Adobe Premiere CS6 and DaVinci Resolve

SONG: Cinematic Orchestra - Arrival of the Birds

I am a commercial director/cinematographer currently seeking additional representation. Please contact me directly for more information.

This video has been consistently making me tear up for 11 years now. The imagery and choice of music... Just... Man. Especially based on the description, I know this wasn't a video you guys poured a ton of work into, but for some random schlub you will never meet, this video has meant a whole lot. I remember showing my dad (he's 72 now) this when it came out and we were blown away by the imagery. I just looked up "4k video" one day randomly. Didn't expect the video I clicked on to be something I'd revisit for over a decade. Cheers, hope to god you and your wife are happy and healthy.

Another country in the Pacific that I absolutely must visit. Thank you for sharing this.

I'm from New Zealand, and this video has shown me just how beautiful my country can be if I just stop and have a look around me. its a shame that I take everything around me for granted

[rheobozhome]

this is the soundtrack from the movie the theory of everything!this is very soothing to the soul!very warm!

[TechWurst]

After almost a year of travelling in New Zealand it's amazing to recognize almost all of these places you filmed. Great job of capturing NZ Nature and the feeling it has to it.

I lived in Siberia for several year. Ulan-Ude to be exact next to lake baikal. Amazing place.

[JacobKatieSchwarz]

Never got that kind of a reaction before :-). Glad you liked it.

Music in this video is one of the best i have ever heard. very very profound and deep!

[lailakaunas]

wow! I'm impressed! I want to cry. this is a very touching video! how I'd like to leave for nature behind sunsets, beyond the vast fields, to observe how the river flows and feel the wind in my hair. this is an amazing video! it gave me a distraction from reality and from our high-rise buildings....
Thank you so much!!!

we shot a maori reciting his lineage back to his canoe, but we lost the footage! it was killer. way sad about it.

[silvanutza]

Everybody talks about image, but Man, that music is form haven!

[TheRoyalStampede]

AMAZING! any chance you could tell me how you went from Adobe CS6 into davinci with a non destructive workflow would help alot!

[jandphoenix]

This is a truly glorious video - it will always be there for you but now for all of us in this community - thank you so much for the post and taking the time to post

I don't know how tha hell, but I have only 1080p monitor and I can see difference between 4k and fullHD.

[TroubleKlef]

Beautiful footage and I'm not trying to take anything away from it.

but I routinely come back just to listen to the soundtrack. Well done.

I wish I lived in New Zealand, The Shire. All by myself. No one to speak to. Just me, and me being alone.

[whataboutredlorry]

The quality is insane! So beautiful. I am actually IN New Zealand and this gave me the shivers....

[alexelcapo]

Is impossible to enjoy 4k in 1080p monitors...right?

[arrowviolet]

All I can say is Wow! What an awesome video. Thank you for posting it....truly beautiful.
