I’ve seen and shared some awesome Japan themed videos over the years so it was interesting to discover a decent quality video showcasing scenes from Jamaica. “This is Beautiful” was produced directed and edited by Gina DeLisser who lives abroad but her home country of Jamaica has a special place in her heart and mind.

After checking out the video below feel free to take a look at other videos I have blogged about like Tokyo Time-lapse by Samuel Cockedey, This is Japan! by Eric Testroete, Tokyo and Yokohama at High Speed and most recently Hayaku: A Time Lapse Journey Through Japan. All these videos are inspiring me to consider trying my hand at creating one some time in the future, I wonder what the subject of mine would be?

This was a personal project and so I decided to pursue a topic that I was passionate about. I was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. I love my country with all my heart; the people the places. There are many challenges there, but I want to remind people that beyond that, there is a great deal more beauty. Beauty that transcends, class or race. This piece is a meshing and intertwining of various characters in Jamaica, and where they intersect with my journey. It’s all about where beauty intersects. There is no hierarchy of beauty.
