The Fujifilm X100V in London

[mattyjpru]

Faizal this felt like a whole movie. I was in actual shock when it ended. The color, the music selection were just *chef's kiss* . Well done sir

Your videos keep getting better and better. They make me want to stop and immerse, instead of just scrolling onto the next video. I love how your videos are like street photos in motion. They kind of help me practice my photographic eye as I search for the right subjects and timing in your POV shots. Beautiful work and excellent soundtrack selection!

The fact that this is a selfmade short movie, its amazing!! This feels so brilliantly cinematic, so natural, and chilling. The way Faizal reviews a camera or explains an experience is on another level.. very talented content creator n photographer!

So well crafted and presented. Your interleaving of video and photos and integration of music and ambient sounds, was such a pleasure to view and listen to. You are developing your own truly unique style.

So good, I didn't want it to end. You are a documentary filmmaker, no question.

Wonderful use of Chopin's Waltz and Prelude!

[gregschmigel]

Beautifully crafted as always, Faizal. Glad you really enjoyed that fantastic city of London.

this inspires me so much. this clears my doubts abt whether i should do the thing i love so much. it makes me want to go out in the wild, walk the streets of the world with my camera and capture what i see, feel and live.

That final pullback as the people crossed the street was fantastic. I don't really make films, but yours are something to aspire to from a cinematography standpoint. Well done.

Thats some nice sound effect with an effective cut to black and silence. Nice editing man!

Hi Faizal, I'm a fan of your videos, probably because we share similar aesthetics. You're doing an excellent job, and I genuinely admire it. Do you record all the 'behind-the-scenes' takes by yourself, or do you have some assistance? I'm curious about the camera you use for recording all the footage. I understand that for this particular project, you likely handled everything yourself.

Wow man...this is SUCH an incredible video. The shots you chose for video, the angles, the music and color grading, everything is so gorgeous pieced together. I literally got teary eyed when the Chinatown shot at 5:56 hit with that piano. Very nicely done, and I love this new cinematic direction that your videos are taking

This is art. Can't believe I can watch this for free

[JonAyabe]

this video is the perfect combo of street photography and street videography

[TomWangArt]

Just sold my X100V for a Leica M11. I might get the next generation of the X100 series as it has always been one of my favorite cameras.

Hi Faizal.

I'm wondering if starting this video on a tube train was an homage to, Herbie Yamaguchi's, picture of Joe Strummer on the tube in the early eighties? If not, you can't go wrong starting with a Chopin piano waltz in the background.

It was a poignant time to be in London attending the first remembrance Sunday after the death of Elizabeth II.

It's good to hear that you enjoyed your time here. The pictures you take whenever you return will be someting to look forward to.

Have fun making images.

It was great seeing you in London Faizal! Also fantastic to see London from your eyes, both photos and the videos!!

[JamesParsons]

Straight up fantastic - Incredibly put together

[ruadaprata]

Beautiful video. The color grading and the music confirms a sweet cinematic vibe.
Although I would love to shoot with the X100V, I'm sticking to my X100S. So far all my cameras have aged and died with me. My X100S is already developing a wear patina that gives it soul and character. Always wandering on the streets with me since 2014.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere and colours in that video. Truly wonderful to watch. Do you use the XT4 for your videos and if so, what film simulation or editing do you use? Just love the colours….👍👍👍👍👍. I juggle between an old XE1 and my XT4 when in London…. Need to look seriously at the 100v though.
