I was looking through some comments recently and came across some about this video I shot last year about an 80 year old guy that still runs a sento, a public bath. It inspired me to rewatch it, and I have to say, I'm really proud to have made this. At times I get the feeling that I hate all my videos and think what's the point of what I'm doing, but this video makes me feel like I occasionally get something right. I don't exactly remember how I ended up deciding on the editing style, but this is very bare bones in terms of narration and music. It's kind of like you're a fly on the wall at points. To me, it's a very insightful day into the life of Sakai-san, the family that supports him, and the community that he supports. If you haven't seen it, and have 15 minutes, I think you might like it.
