Section one was all done on the Extreme, most of section two was the ultimate and three back to the Extreme. I had a problem with a piece of dust on the ground glass which I didn&#8217;t notice on the LCD monitor but it came up like a strange watermark. I disguised it as much as I could in the edit. Lesson to remember, always check to see it is spotless before filming. I was so used to the Ultimate which isn&#8217;t bothered by dust the same way that I forgot to check! There are a few night shots done without any adaptor but I hope it is difficult to spot which is Ultimate\/ Extreme\/ clean as I tried to blend them all together in the edit.<br \/>\nThe music is from the Album Talkie Walkie by Air and is called &#8220;Alone in Kyoto&#8221;, hence the play on the title like a couple of my other shorts. It was spot on for this. Just a shame I never made it to Kyoto.
