I found the screenshot lighting breakdowns very helpful, and I can see why you flag the overhead lights now, it’s not just colour temp issues… at 00:00:25:00 for a moment I thought ‘Why is he setting up kit in the baggage claim area?’ But I’m watching on my phone while I’m making breakfast and distracted 😝. Lastly is the overhead the 5*7 and can work with one light stand and clip?

cool seeing you breakdown your different interviews, and what you did and didn’t like about them! 🙌🏻

Scary watching your camera at 1:17 the drama!

Love the explanation of your screen grabs. Great work! Charles

11:25 - sure, i'll come along!

Yep you could have probably drove from SA to here faster and maybe cheaper. The construction at IAH is a pain!. If you ever here again and have time I'll buy you pick. See ya.

Love the idea of the screenshots for viewers who don’t want to watch a whole reel. Much faster to see the quality of work. I might steal this idea too. Looks very effective. Can’t wait to hear more about the bull riding feature. Sounds like a bit of doc and manufactured scenes. Would love to get more into that space.

Would love to know your thoughts on framing your interviews. I see that sometimes you've got tons of floor and sometimes not. This appears to me as making choices on lens FOV/height. Curious as to what goes into that process for you? Is it purely aesthetics? Logistics?

Great idea with the screen grabs. Think i'll implement that as well. And the brake down of each for us(me)… priceless.

great video! Really enjoyed the breakdown of the screen grabs. Very helpful to understand your perspective and how you frame these shoots

If you do decide to get a new gimbal, the RS4 Pro can fly the Burano. I know you have your FX3 as a gimbal cam workflow, but it’s nice to have that option. It’s also only marginally larger than the SC.

Those steak houses are 🔥🔥🔥

Absolutely hooked on all your videos, as a young photographer/videographer in Cork, Ireland (year and a half in) I find your videos so incredibly helpful and have taught me so much! Can I ask for the interviews where you leave overhead lighting on, what are you doing regarding white balance? Are you matching your key light to the overhead lighting, so that the colour is fairly uniform throughout the subject and background? Thanks, and looking forward to the next video 👌

Thx, still find it interesting following along

Apologies for the repetitive VO. Jet lag + tracked the vlog, then discovered no audio, second pass lost track of what I said.

Always a joy to watch your updates!

Man, you are a beast!

Curious if you had to buy now would you still get the sigma primes or would you do GMasters?

for me I always do a 50% non-refundable deposit that is required to book the shoot date and is non-refundable within one week. I think most clients understand that if they need to cancel that's on them. That employee that is sick is still getting paid via sick day so you really shouldn't be any different. When that happens to me I just keep the 50% and move on unless I reallllllly love the client.

I’ve worked shoots with an Alexa Mini LF that could easily be shot on the FX3. But the client wanted Alexa’s and paid for them

My favorite corporate buzz-phrase is “disrupting the status quo”

How's post go with colour / gamma matching the Burano and FX9? Did you do a video on speccing them up / matching them as best - I thought I saw one where you were testing side by side, but might be mixed up by something else I've seen?

Loved this. Thanks for sharing. Really appreciate it.

Hey those earbuds at 9:20 are amazing. I've been using Sure 215's for years and these are just as good and so much cheaper.

For the 15mm to NATO rail: I am very happy with my Vocas one. Use it for my FX6 to hold an SmallHD monitor. For me it is just made perfectly.

Love your channel!! I'm a DP and owner-operator here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and it is very good to see your process. My parents are also in the business, and I relate a lot with your son. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Brazil!!!

@1:30 You were saying in another comment about how you like to have a small mic so you can keep it compact with the placement of the cutter (or bounce or diff), well if you get yourself a low profile XLR connector you can get it waaaay more compact than you already have it! 🙂 For example put into B&H a search for this: "Kondor Blue Straight Low-Profile Right-Angle XLR Cable"

"Sustainability " been hearing that last few years on every corporate shoot ! .

My favorite corporate nonsense from a shoot in the 1990s: "We're not downsizing, we're rightsizing"

Beck’s a smart kid! Good on him working hard and saving that money! I was homeschooled too, and my Dad let me work with him in his construction business. It helped me A LOT 🙌🏻 Vocas makes a 7.9” Nato Rail with 15mm rod clamp, I bought it a few months back, and I’ve been loving it!! That really good vocas quality, and more than enough length to push that monitor far from your eyes! Appreciate your vlogs brother. They give me a healthy perspective 🙏🏻

One year at the Lions Festival in France, every marketing company kept talking about "Web 3.0." It was supposed to change everything, and mega influencers were launching NFTs to gain access to their virtual nightclubs. I was covering it for a brand that has a big presence there, and on the flight back to the states I kept thinking about how I've never wanted to go more analog than while I was there. Here we are a few years later, and Web 3.0 talk is dead.

I'm a commercial photographer and director in NYC, have a 2 year old son that I hope some day can be part of my life like Beck is part of yours. Good on him for investing 80 percent of his income, what an absolutely brilliant time to start. Love watching these videos. Have a great day!

Great episode, thx

‘Single source of truth’

Thank you for your inspirational video's David. I believe Vocas sells a longer nato compatible evf rod.

I have a couple of flexi-panel LED lights (not Aputure) I like the way the light falls on the interviewee too.

‘Bespoke’

„Innovation” - for sure :)

"holistic" used to be a huge buzzword.

how do you edit your videos and when do u take time for that? gotta be stressful besides working as a dop..

the conversation with your son while you tell him what to do is hilarious 😂

Agency buzzword “brand cuffs”

"AI Ball Bearings"

Definitely different middle greys for sure.

Man the Burano and FX9 look great, I bet by the next generation they will look just as good as the C300mk2.

Nitze has those 15mm rod nato mounts
