MORINONE's video style is as exquisite as a movie, with delicate split-screen images and beautiful music selections, few human voices in the film, and only a few videos have the author's monologue. Most of the works are soft selections with real ambient sounds, sounds of insects, burning fires, and cooking sounds so that people also like the tranquility. The shooting and editing of the film were done by this Japanese father alone. The content includes single camping, picnic outside, countryside travel ... and so on.
