Welcome to Episode 5, our second in a weekly mini series of travel vlogs as we make our way across Japan for our honeymoon πππ
TRAVEL VLOGS!?!?
We dont normally do travel vlogsβ¦ in fact, this is the first time weβve ever attempted something like this π
is it obviousβ¦ maybe π
We got married in August 2023, and finallyβ¦ the time has come for our much awaited honeymoon adventure. This is the second leg of our journey, in Kyoto, Japan. This video isnβt sponsored, itβs not a marketing ploy for anythingβ¦ itβs just us being us, as we take some much needed time together β€οΈβ¨
Hopefully weβll have captured what itβs like to roam free in this exciting, jam packed city, in the second leg of our GRAND TOUR π
Who are we? We are Yoyo and David, a couple of newly-weds who work behind the scenes at Yoyo The Ricecorpse (links in bio). We are building a brand together and invite **you** to join us on this ride.

How this was made?
Camera:
This episode was filmed on a DJI Pocket 3 camera (not a sponsor). It’s a lovely camera by the way.
Editing:
Weβve recorded and edited this video whilst we travel, to do so we used DJIβs native export feature, with Appleβs iMovie app on a 2011 edition of an iPad. Somehow iMovie is the most stable platform on the iPad, given tech limitations (who would have thought it). Music from Epidemic Sound (not a sponser). No LUTS were used (harmed) in the making of this program.
Music (all tracks from Epidemic Sound):
A Builders Dream – Erik Fernholm
Kickinβ it With You – Sarah, the Illstrumentalist
Vacation Mode – Rocket Jr
Midnight in Mono – Rebecca Mardel and james.ifo
Location: Kyoto, Japan
