Kimchi & I make immersive films and teach what we learn - so you can tell stronger stories in 360° and VR180. I’m Hugh Hou, an Emmy-winning filmmaker, and this channel is where I share real-world camera tests, editing workflows, and behind-the-scenes lessons from the field. If you’re a creator, brand, or educator trying to level up in immersive video, you’re in the right place.

Expect practical tips, honest reviews, and step-by-step guides you can actually follow - plus a few experiments that push what’s possible on Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and YouTube VR. New videos and Kimchi updates drop regularly.

Subscribe if you want to create immersive work that looks great in a headset and makes people feel something. Drop your questions or wild ideas in the comments—Kimchi checks them all.

Kimchi is back with a "Godzilla" drop — a 45+ minute deep-dive on DaVinci Resolve 20.1!
Finally, you can learn everything about editing "inside" Apple Vision Pro (wait what?! INSIDE????)

There’s a lot of hype about 20.1 floating around right now… but nothing goes as deep as Kimchi. If you want to really master Immersive Video editing in Resolve 20.1 — from camera to software — this is the tutorial you’ve been waiting for.

📅 Join us tomorrow at 8:30 AM PST LIVE — we’ll have a Q&A during the stream so you can get your burning questions answered on cameras, software, and the entire immersive workflow.

Can't wait to see YOU tomorrow!

We’re back with another Kimchi Member Exclusive AIVU release. This time, we’re taking you to Ohio and the beautiful Mill Creek MetroParks. Download it for your Apple Vision Pro Now: www.patreon.com/posts/visit-mill-creek-135877481

Being in nature has always been our thing, and it’s what inspires us to bring you along. And in crazy high resolution (16K), we can truly transport nature into the Apple Vision Pro. Just look at the details—this place is mesmerizing.

We honestly don’t get why Ohio gets such a bad rep in media. It’s a beautiful, peaceful place you should visit at least once in your life. But if you can’t make the trip yourself, we’ve got you covered in this series of immersive 180 videos.

We are working on the YouTube VR / Meta Quest version. But you really need to experience this at least once inside Vision Pro to see those crazy details in dense forest.

And exciting news: We’re going to London in two weeks!

If you’re in the London area, please reach out—we’re looking for a local guide to help us find the best spots for immersive 180 captures in London and beyond.

Back on the red carpet for ESPN’s #ESPYS at the iconic Dolby Theatre — filming sports legends in 3D 180! 😍

As a lifelong baseball fan, seeing some of my favorite players right in front of my lens felt surreal. Then actor Anthony Ramos casually walks by—right after I saw him on TV in the new Marvel/Disney+ show Ironheart last night. Wild.

No, I’m not the one getting an award. I’m just the guy behind the camera. A few years ago, I was a total nobody (still am in many ways) — and now I’m capturing moments on one of the biggest nights in sports. Hard work does pay off. Big time.

So don’t stop creating. Keep pushing your limits. You never know where your art might take you. Who knows—maybe one day I’ll be filming you on the red carpet. 🎥

This is your space to shape the next era of spatial media.

Here, you’re invited to ask questions, spark discussions, request reviews or tutorials, and even kick off R&D ideas with the support of fellow creators. Got a wild idea? Share it — and let the community help bring it to life 💡

With groundbreaking new immersive “cameras” hitting the scene (yep, the $30K URSA Cine Immersive is just the beginning), we’re entering a new wave of 360, 3D 360, and VR180 production that’s drawing serious mainstream attention.

You’re not just early adopters — you’re pioneers. And while your boi (and his Shiba) are doing their best to test, film, and educate… we can only go so far alone.

Let’s grow together, support each other, and reshape the media landscape — one immersive story at a time.

Welcome aboard.
