Every year the Hokkaido University Festival takes place in June. Students prepare in teams for months in advance, culminating in four days of intense festival spirit. Here I interview students about “festival magic”…the curious pairing up of couples during the preparation and excitement of the festival.
This was my first video I’ve shot on my new camera – the Olympus OMD EM-1. I must do a decent write-up on the camera at some stage, but suffice it to say I really enjoyed using it for filming.
