I recently saw the low-key announcement from Kodak that they're producing a new color film stock. What do you think it's going to be?

I’m blown away bro. This is incredible.
that looks AMAZING!🔥🔥🔥
Follower of Christ is what’s up! Keep crushing it man!
The only way!!
DOPE!
I'm inspired. Magnificent work!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful, Nkosi.
Thank you!!
Too good.
Thanks bro!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Looks amazing! Would love to see an updated video on your 16mm colour grading process :)
Definitely need to do that! I’ll bring on my colorist do give a more in depth explanation haha!
@@nkosiromaThat would be so cool! There are almost no tutorials on that matter out there.
amazing reel - keep it up !!
Thanks a lot!!
This is fire, man. Gotta love the tastefully done dolly zooms.
Thanks man! Worked hard to get them right!!
legendary work
Thank you!
Phenomenal
Thanks man!!
🔥 great work!
Appreciate it!
Great reel ❤
Thank you!
I love these shots. There's so much emotion packed into them even when they are so mundane. When you make that feature film you're going to make something utterly powerful.
Great talent will do that!!
0:40 - 0:44 are my favourite shots. I've always thought a gritty handheld 16mm black and white film would offer such a fitting and novel medium for war movies, I'm surprised it hasn't been done extensively before. First 3 opening shots also very cool.
Thanks a lot! Really excited to explore more black and white!
Amazing work from an amazing DP 👏
Thank you man!! 🙏🏽
Legendary
From the legend himself! 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for creating this truthful and vivid and inspiring video, brother! An absolute honor and joy to battle in the creative trenches with you. Thank you for realizing your childhood dream with me, as our film was a dream come true for me also. We set the standard with Method and I'm thrilled to build from here. From the trenches to the stars!
From the trenches to the universe bro! We making movies 🙏🏽
Now this is what I'm talking about! Fucking incredible man. The effort, the care, the attention to detail. Pure art. I'll be keeping a close eye out for your stuff from now on 🤙
🙏🏽 thank you for your support! This is what we’re all so passionate about. It means a lot to see how it connects with other filmmakers!
Wow man, this is incredible!! The detail that you guys included is amazing. So well done.
Thanks for giving it a watch! Appreciate your appreciation of our passion!
Never seen a title to a video so tuned in such a niche way to my life as a filmmaker. I always used to make WW1 films and had always adored the films shot on 16mm, before I even knew why they looked like that when I was a teenager. Such a wonderful video to see, man. Makes me feel good knowing that there are others so similar to me, and seeing you succeed in your childhood dreams is so wonderful and affirming. Keep it up man.
Pinning this comment! I’m glad UA-cam brought you to this one! 🙏🏽
community
very creative way to make the trench look busier. the footage looks so characterful. would love to see a mini series/movie of this - keep up the great work. bw, Pete (backlit pictures)
Too kind Pete, thank you for your comments, encouragement, and support!
I'm so happy for you brother 🙏
Thanks Eric! 🙏🏽
you're disgustingly good. Your reel in the beginning had us floored. The film looks amazing too.
Thanks a lot!!
@nkosiroma for sure Brother!
amazing :) keep it up dude!
Thanks a lot!
All for seeing period pieces on a smaller budget scale 🔥 well done.
Thank you!!
It’s better. Nothing against digital, as it’s helped us indies out, and works well enough. However, we’re all working are way back to film when we get a little cash:)
That’s been a trend I’m noticing more and more!
What 16mm camera did you use? I have been looking into one myself that is quiet enough for sound sync. How do you focus the lens on old 16mm? You have no external monitor to pull focus from, right? The footage looks amazing! :-D
We used an Arri SR2 and an Aaton LTR! Both are sync sound and both of the ones used had an external HD tap so we could monitor footage and somewhat accurately pull focus from. The majority of time we’re taking marks with a digital tape measure to confirm distances.
@@nkosiroma I have considdered an SR2 myself, so it is quiet enough for sync audio up close? In a room indoor? How much money was it to get an external HD ta, or did you buy it with one?
Pretty cool. Grain is a bit distracting though!
You’ll be happy to hear we completely reshot this scene to incorporate into a feature I’m currently shooting. It’s 1000x better in every way!
@@nkosiroma Super cool!
Praise God for Who He is in your life!
This project is 🔥 Thank you for shooting this making-of to show folks the hard work you and your team put into your project. Keep up the 16mm magic! 😎🎥
Thank you for checking it out! I’m beyond proud of what we accomplished and look forward to sharing with you!
There's an irony in that if your 3D printer guy had shipped the Lebels pre-assembled and painted, it would have been illegal manufacture and exportation of a replica firearm under Canadian law, but a real Lebel could actually be shipped out of Canada relatively easily. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
That’s funny and a little scary to think about. We had many delays during producing it would have been brutal if the rifles were one of them!
Wow! 😍 From the trip back in time, to the full flushed and well-executed vision, this is inspiring. Can’t wait to see what you are blessed to accomplish next! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks so much!!
That looks so good, your hard work paid off. Let's hope we can see a feature soon💪💪💪
Congrats on working with limited recourses and creating some incredible footage! God bless.
Thank you very much!
This is SO GOOD! Praying for you that the feature gets picked up 🙏
Thank you!!
this was awesome! Congratulations
Glad you enjoyed it!
12:36 is absolutely insane. Would love to see more vids like this. Community 🤝
Thanks bro! Staying at it!
What's your opinion on how sharp these Nanomorphs are compared to your normal spherical lenses? Do you recall what aperture you were at for the interiors on your scene at the end? Also--the 20mm Nanomorph fits my s16 Arri SR I without any mirror interference on the rear element. So far I love it!
The nanomorphs are very sharp compared to older 16mm spherical glass. I probably shot wide open or close to wide open on those clips!
@@nkosiroma which focal lengths do you find yourself using the most often? I'm definitely wanting to acquire a set. I was intrigued by their 28-50 anamorphic zoom but it looks like the rear element is probably incompatible with the SR.
@@RealityScope I used all the 27, 35, and 50 for the projects I’ve shot with them! Want to try out the 20mm at some point!
great stuff
Thank you!!!
I grew up watching sooooo many period/war movies & to be able to see this happening, such an incredible film being made in my time, is mind blowing! Happy to be alive to witness it all! This movie is going to change lives!
Thank you Resa! Excited to have you along for the journey! 😊
That INTRO though🔥goodness gracious!!!
So dope being part of the BTS with Eddie! Hope to be on set again soon!
Yes sir! What a ride! You captured some moments!!
Great work honey!! So proud of you and the team that pulled this together!
Couldn't have done it without you, love!
