The Hong Kong Tram 

I don’t know how you make your money, but I could watch these micromovies all day long (& I am sure they don’t pay much!). Your content is phenomenal!!! Thanks for all you do!

Take away all the hype and what you have is pure skill. Brandon- you inspire us to create truth and beauty and not rely on trending transition effects, or exaggerated filters, or clubby music. All these so called "travel vloggers" need to learn from you.

A 2 minute and 32 second masterpiece!

Hong Kong Tramways just received a very nice gift! I'm looking forward to a directors commentary if you ever get a chance to make one!

The gimbal god himself! Beautiful piece brother.

The people of Hong Kong are so hardworking. Keep up the good work Hong Kongers! ;)

Dude, you gave that tram a personality, a SPIRIT. Brandon is a true storyteller.

I am not sure why I started crying towards the end ... who would’ve thought trams can be so emotional... love your work

Oh my lord that tram fly through at the end!! Your eye for emotional camera moment is incredibly intelligent. I feel like every scene has meaning. No filler, all killer. I would love to see your thought process on the inspiration you had for this project from start to finish. Watching you grow from one video to the next is an absolute pleasure. Keep it up!!

Just beautiful , Sooo, sooo beautiful

Never thought I'd be this fascinated about a tram... thanks Brandon. Your videos are just eye candy!

Brandon! Please come back! We need your videos and film school.

Dude, your vlogs are SOMETHING ELSE

Oh, thank you for that. I lived in HK for 10 years and regularly commuted by tram. I miss the way they trundle along, in no particular hurry. The tram and the Star Ferry were two of my favorite pleasures about HK. I hope they're always there.

I stop all else when I get a notification from you. And once again, I'm not disappointed

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GIFT!!! HK's tramways are my favorite transportation in HK, and honestly, that's a wonderful homnage!

I am from hk and I really like this video This video really shows the tram's history and its life. Thank you Brandon!

U know everytime i watch this it reminds of the art and skill u got. What a gift

holy balls. what did my eyes just witness. i got goosebumps amazing! love the crispy audio also the shots after 2:01 were crazy!

The Trams are one of my fav things in HK! This is so beautiful

Amazing. Simply amazing. Great gift to the Hong Kong Tramways!!!

Hong Kong Tram a MASTERpiece

Loved all the smooth transitions. Well done!

the background music and the sound effects is like chasing each other through the song

Brandon, this was such a wonderful homage! I loved every second. And of course Kobe is perfect too ;) If you ever had a chance, it would be wonderful if you could make a video on tips for recording real life sounds for later use in post production. As always though, amazing work! Thank you so much for the beauty you can share to the world.

i have seen this already so many times . and i get awestruck every time i watch it.

This video is straight fire. Great shots all around!

Absolutely amazing! The trams are such a charming part of Hong Kong

I always get a mouthful whenever I click a Brandon Li notification...once again, marvellous work!

Trillions of beautiful stories in the world, all we need is a smart film maker like you. Wow.

Great job my friend, I loved it!

That's absolutely amazing. The filming, the editing, and the sound design more than just pulled it all together, it sold me!

A two-and-a-half-minute long eye candy. The meaning of my life has been fulfilled.

Thank you… I have visited Hong Kong several times (it is one of the World’s Greatest Cities!) and always ride the tram many times, each visit (I also like to ride on the upper deck, in the front seat, like the woman in the video does). Your video was very nice, with EXCELLENT production values. My wife (from Vietnam), and our son (half American/half Vietnamese) have not been, yet, to Hong Kong, but we are going to Vietnam in six months, for Tet. We will stop off in Hong Kong on the way there, and ride the tram! I will show them this video. Thank you!

your one of my Hero's in cinematography Brandon Li =)

Your transitions and movements are so fluid... I wanna cry

When I watch your videos I always get catapulted into another world! 😍

Simply stunning Brandon. Thank you for the inspiration you so gracefully give.

I bet Brandon Li can turn taking the trash out into a cinematic film.

I have been to HK a few times and i love the tram the most! This video really TOUCHES me!

You are the best!

Great film which brings back all my memories. The Hong Kong Tram is my favourite transportation when I was a kid in Hong Kong.

Nice POV mode!

spectacular job. Finally one person that actually tells a story instead showing random images.

I've never in my life seen a video with 6k views, 1500 likes and 0 dislikes

I love the fact , how it treats my direction to the visuals, i mean the video seems effortless and smooth throughout. But the fact how it is made amazes me. The composition and visual flow is flawless!

0 dislikes? Is this the new Internet? Fantastic work!

Wow that shot traveling through the Trams is Sick this whole video is amazing

Sheer Talent!

I rarely watch RU-vid videos more than once, and I've watch this video four times. The story was great, and the cinematography was awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Great work as always Brandon! Do you have any thoughts on hyperlapses done by photographs versus speeding up video? Just curious! Cheers mate!

Wonderful. You master an art: showing in few minutes a slice of life with a lot of emotion.

How do you do your Audio?! it amazing!!

This is so far my favorite. It's excellent, the flow in this one is amazing.

She is so beautiful 😘 , Brandon how did you take this shot no explanation 😐😑

Magic little look at all the details that go into making a part of the city run. I was in HK recently but didn't get to ride the trams - now I feel compelled to go back and take a lap around the city on the tram!

Where can I find the sfx for the transitions?

When ever i feel sad, I comeback to watch Brandon's videos. I think i have an addiction problem with Brandon's videos... Beautiful Work by the way!

Crazy good. So many ideas in one smooth, short film.

Thank you Brandon for sharing your gift to Hong Kong Tramways with us. I loved it! I love the way you tell us a story with simplicity, the music you choose and the awesome editing you perform. It is truly amazing! Thank you for being an inspiration.

Every short you post is a breath of fresh air! These are the story based travel films that actually matter and hold so much artistic value, no other content like it! Always so inspiring!

Brandon, I think this is my favourite of all your pieces on RU-vid. Loved it. Harvey.

That natural sound! Beautiful edit. Chills.

A wonderful piece. It grabbed me at the beginning and held me all the way through. Great job.

I loved how you used the rolling axis in this one. It added a subtle extra dimension to the wonderfully graceful flow throughout the movie.

Such a beautiful piece of cinematography and creative storytelling. Bravo!

Hands the greatest travel filmmaker in the game! No other can combine a story, amazing cinematography and such perfect editing and sound design into a 2:31 long video. Such a legend!!!

fav shot (besides the last one zooming through all the tram cars) is at 1:52 coming from under the car. WOW! Good work Brandon

Ma quanto bravo sei?!? Brandon, sei anni luce avanti a tutti gli altri, Casey e McKinnon compresi. Simply amazing. Tks.

Dude! That transition at 1:04 is sick!! Great job!! as usual!

The first short film that I actually clicked the LIKE button, this is some next level creation here 🔥

Wow, That was pretty incredible...keep doing what you're doing brandon

Wow! Absolutely stunning! As a person born in Hong Kong, i have never realised so much effort was placed into getting these trams onto the road. This video makes me appreciate the city i was born and love. Thank you Brandon!

The background music is just fantasising the whole scene....... Great.. 😀😀😀

When I see a Brandon Li notification I make sure to sit down grab my favorite drink and prepare myself for "Magic"... and every time I fly "Cathay" I make sure to watch his videos on that long flight to HKK Airport.

So beautiful cursively displayed!.

Nicely made affectionate storytelling. I'm sure Hong Kong Tramways will be delighted with it.

Very entertaining and an eye-opener! The model as well! Amazing skill and talent it took to produce this gem. Thanks!

The axis roll is incredible! This was so easy on the eyes. Everything from color grading, sound design, composition and editing were of the highest standards, thank you!

You have an incredible flow and eye for angles in your videos

I love how you use the roll axis Brandon. Such a unique touch that seems to be a signature of your work.

Amazing Brandon - Who would have thought a film about trams could be so beautiful?!

All your films are just pure eye/ear candy, you just nail it everytime, i guess visual storytelling has become like an extension of yourself, how to shoot the objects, people, landscapes, and the sound design is spectacular as well 👏 .

man you are the best story teller through your films Brandon

This was awesome. You find the story in everything and have a great way of telling it.

would love to see more process-based stories like this.

Superb example of fast editing, fluent gimbal movement and great sound effects! Brandon you raise the bar… once again!

I can see your loving that new tilt mode on the new gimbal!

Simply the best!!! You make me want to take tram everyday!!!

omg i love the camera movement and the emotion your trying to express! nice video love it!

Who the hell would give this a thumbs down? Your an inspiration my friend. Thanks for sharing your gift with the world!

I'm so impressed that I have no words... I really miss Hong Kong after I saw this :')

the sound effects are always spot on

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story

Simply beautiful. So inspiring. This is what I want to do.

I love the constant movement of the camera.

I loved riding Hong Kong Ding Ding when I was there back in 2015. For a small fee you can enjoy many scenery

This is so beautfiul, has a magic feel to it. Also, insane camera work.

My jaw dropped after the first 10 seconds. Such a beautiful story matched with exceptionally creative framing, motion and transitions. I feel so inspired to go create. Thank you.

The way you shoot (and edit for that matter!) is inspiring. Really creative. This is fantastic.
