Incredible work Blase. You're helping so many people here on this platform and out in the world with your skills. Praising Jesus with you brother 🙏

This was an amazing short doc. I was captivated from the very start. The transition from the tragedy to the solution was very strong: just fading in from black and the police officer coming made me feel like a hero was coming to silence the storm.

Man, the quality of work you're putting out is incredible. Thanks for this

In regards to your movie, it was very touching and created a compelling case and story for community organizations like the PAL. I hope someday to get to your level, and I appreciate learning from you so that I can help others as well.

First reaction: incredibly well made. Hats off!

Love the lighting and color palette choices in the interview scenes. Matching cams is such a nice feature. Thanks for sharing and congrats on the work.

Wow. The message came through so clearly. That textured background looked very nice.

Really enjoyed watching this man! The film was incredible from the cinematography to the edit and sound and color. You’ve definitely demonstrated and pushed the X-H2s to shine!

Just found this walk through on the doc you made…very thorough and “very” helpful! Will be following you into the future.

dang bro that was beautiful, great work. love the variety of shots and the different interviews. The only thing that I wouldve changed was the wide shot warp at 4:56 but thats just being super knit picky. Again, great work brother!

I think you will soon have many followers, because you are very talented. Beautiful and emotional video and I also think that the X-H2S is a splendid camera if used by those who know how to do it well, like you.

Very admirable! Thanks for using your skills and talents to highlight worthwhile projects in the community.

Great job, Blase! I'm from KCK but live in ATL, it's nice to see some light shed on the troubles of the city and how the city is helping!

Shot dude, this is absolutely beautiful. Well done.

Wow... That piece was extremely beautiful.... I live in Florida, but was born and raised in kc, MO. I was excited that your film started out with Hope!! I went to high-school with her and her brother. So glad I found your channel. Subscribing today. Reminds me of home.

Very powerful and emotional film

Impressive how much one can do with an SL 60. So many people show off their Aputure 300D's and 1200 watt lights. I'm grateful that you show what you can do with less that some of us may think is sufficient power. Sure, more power in a light is better, but this video showed a great look with minimal gear. Thank you for this!

You have a good eye for aesthetic colors 🎥

Absolutely stunning. much love from Pakistan.

Thank you so much for sharing yours.

10 months later... I love it!

Thank you! Beautiful story, beautifully captured :)

Great work! Incredible story telling, colors music! Good to see how you use the X-H2S

Wow! Amazing job!!! Almost started crying. So well set in scene…and for a good thing. Respect!

So emotion on the documentary, and it impress me more that I am a videographer and you had only 15 min of broll rush !! BUt the ITW are so good that everything is perfect

THAT IS A DOPE WORK BRO

Love the flow of content in your channel! The film was very very well made and you managed to answer every question that popped up in my head while watching it. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to watch more!

REALLY appreciate these videos!

Incredible job

Thank you! Incredible. Wow! I would like to have something like that. I will have Fujifilm X-T5 soon. +A or B cam second body XT3. Eventually have H2s, to replace XT3. Thanks to share, beautiful work and inspiring.

Fantastic work!

Really heartwarming. 💜 Love your work. Thanks so much for the BTS and sharing your process. Much appreciated. 🙏🏼

Amazing job Blase. It looks great!

This was really great man! Love the visuals and vibe of the doc and your insights. Great to see the Xh2s perform so well. Only neg for me: the background music ,while you're explaining, is too loud and sometimes dramatic for no reason :) Hopefully your sponsors aren't trying to have a say in that! Cheers

Subscribed. I recently did a project in a very similar way to how you did this, even down to using a Quasar tube as a hair light. Keep up the quality content!

You are just the Best, thank you so much...

very good video thx

Not sure how much you are charging, but definitely not enough! This is quality stuff!!

Looks amazing! Gotta get a look at those Fuji cams

Man everyone seems to love using Tony Anderson’s music 😂

wow

insightfull

great work man! so inspirational film! You`re very talented cinematographer:) what was the budget for this film? How much to charge for this kind of projects? How many hours did you spend editing?

This is so good man!

You did a grate job thank you for sharing does things that could help me grow more in filming and when working with grup of people just be open to what they have to say😊

You did great job man! No gimbal, just handheld? The image stabilization seems better than on my XT-4. I really like the use of slow motion and normal speed. Thx for sharing!

Nice film. I’d love to know how the budgeting went for this

looks amazing mate! where did you get that lovley backdrop ?

What's the app you're using for the sun at 7:38? Looks very useful!

Beautiful work for real, and this was a perfect find for me since I have a similar shoot coming up as well. I do have to ask though, why opt for Classic Chrome instead of F-Log2?

Thanks Blasé for this wonderful video. I am just starting to do some family interviews with my XH2S. I am wondering what frame rate to you use to make the interview videos? Peter

Hi Blase Pivovar.I have a question that I would like to know, why youtube cinematographers, the ones that I can see on the front page, their videos are very solid in fundamentals, including technique and narrative rhythm, it seems like many of the videos that I randomly click in, I can see that the basic skills are solid and often have little to do with the number of fans, but the situation in China is more variable. My question is, what kind of market environment does this happen in and what is the state of their film learning path? Thank you so much!

What's the camera settings?? Looks beautiful

Did you use AF?

Hi. I like your feature film. But I'm not too fond of your backdrop. It is really good that you consider the aesthetics of the interview scenes, but I think the aesthetics of the backdrop are far from the context. It is good if the background of an interview in a subtle way underlines, reinforces and leads the viewer on the right track, and it is important that it does not signal anything other than the subject, as it will often confuse or distract some of the audience, stylistically your backdrop is far from the subject. I occasionally make videos about refugee projects and other projects for children, and am always on the lookout for useful backgrounds, notice boards with information or drawings, posters and the like that have to do with the project. It is also not always bad if you can hear the activities in the background, children who are happy etc. or images with children playing in the background, as long as the sound level is appropriate so that it does not destroy speech understanding, and the background is appropriately blurred. Having written all this, I hasten to add that the backdrop is only a small thing and that I really like your film. It made me put myself in the children and grown-up's place, which must be the success criterion for this type of production. It might have been good with a few more interviews with the children, but I know it can be difficult for many reasons. The pictures and lighting are very good and the editing is smooth and the cuts are perfectly timed. Good luck with your next productions😊. Mike

What's with the many light stands appearing?

hey man, iam on video ativism, social-eco stuff, since my house burned down in the portuguese forest fires of 2017. like thers a urge to use your weapon of choice (video in my case) to give visibility to just causes. i could talk and ask here for many things ( do check my playlist video ativism here in youtube), but my main question is: i live with very little money, is the xs20 a better option than the xh2s in terms of price-quality- usability for volunteer work? i ask this in the perspective of knowing that when you dont have money you should invest in the best option. is the xh2s stand for the next 5-7 years? ( second question).. many thanks for any input from the community ( from a xt3 user that is thinking on doing nothing in terms of new cameras and just buy the ninja v)

What are this blue background? Paper or fabric?? I want a green one with this water effect

@21:02 how do you have your timeline clips colored like this?

Anyone know the artist of the music?

Not impressed
