Earth Day Tokyo 4

Fourth of four videos from Earth Day Tokyo, featuring jar harps, pigs, a tank, a rabbit, drums, dancing and the Sloth Club.

All these videos were taken on the new Sony HDR-HC3, one of the smallest 1080i HDV camcorders available in Japan (but compressed in low res).

Until recently I have just been using a still camera, so now I have a lot more zoom to play with. I just have to learn how to use it properly and edit better!

Earth Day Tokyo 3

Earth Day Tokyo 2

Earth Day Tokyo footage from Saturday, April 23 near Yoyogi Park.

Check out Bee Japan at www.beejapan.org. They are doing a bike ride from the top to the bottom of Japan to raise awareness of environmental issues.

They are also raising money for Henoko to protect the dugong (like manatees) and coral reefs in Okinawa.

Earth Day Tokyo 1

First of many videos from Earth Day Tokyo, taken using the Sony HDR-HC3 High Def camcorder.

We were trying to find the Earth Day Tokyo event, but were looking in Yoyogi Park and got a bit lost. Found it eventually. It was a really cool, chilled out event.

This footage is mainly unedited, but if you like Japan and the environment, you might like it.
