The guy at the taco date had me rollinnnnn 💀😂
Us too 😂
The taco guy 😂😂😂😂 round of applause to Ryan guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hahaha I laughed so much watching this bro. You guys crushed it. Not your typical UA-cam video when you’re looking for technical stuff. It’s just all together solid and allows you to enjoy the story.
Appreciate you so much brother. Oraldo is an incredible character, he destroyed it. 😮💨
🤪
Great storyline, cinematography and lead actors. With a combo like that it doesn't really matter what camera you're using! Great Work!
As an aspiring filmmaker who is still a beginner, seeing the behind-the-scenes was amazing and the final product, did not disappoint! Beautiful film and cinematography
So glad you stuck around for the journey. I can’t wait to share more like this in the future with everyone!
This was fucking awesome! aspire to make something like this at some point! Thanks for the watch
Thank YOU!!!
Wasn’t expecting to get so sucked in and then the credits started rolling. 😅
Great job Ryan! Production value was super solid. Cinematography of course top notch but also the sound and acting 🤌🏻
Hard to end on such a open ended scene, but that was the goal to be honest. So glad we made this one hit for you! 😅🙏
this entire production changed my whole aspect of shooting thanks guys
The visuals were so good I forgot that I was watching to critique the visuals. The angles were immersive and so captivating. Great job. The audio and sound designs were great aswell
Appreciate your feedback here!! We certainly all did our best as a team. Thanks!!!
This is a great short film, great story telling about the up and downs of todays dating scene. This also highlights that it doesn't necessarily matter where you met the person, it only matters that you found the right person. Life is full of surprises, just when you're about to give up, something catches you off guard. Great title for this short film and the Sony ZV-E1 footage looks amazing 🔥🔥🔥.
Worth the wait. Told ya what ever you do, the level of production this film had was amazing. Excited to see what a ZV-E1 could do with the whole filmmaking stuff and you nailed it. Keep going bruh
This is what I love to hear! ZV-E1 went crazy. Thanks for sticking around 🙏
Watched every second of this. Insane production value, lighting, and love that this was shot on a ZV-E1 shows the versatility of a “vlog” camera.
The storytelling in this was next level. Love seeing this content on this platform. Congrats on the debut of this!!
Yoo thank you. Couldn’t have done it without my incredible crew. I’m still mind blown as well, the ZV-E1 go crazy
DUUUUDE, this exceeded my expectations. My youtube feed is full of tech and gear reviews, its fkn cool so see a "youtuber" actually doing something cool outside of YT videos. Appreciate you sharing your process. Props to you and the whole team.
Wow, thanks for taking time to watch and leave a comment! It's refreshing being able to push my self and my own creative process alongside a team. Couldn't have done it without everyone's support!!
As an out of work big union production crew member who has worked on such productions as Westworld and American Horror Story this was literally my favorite production in quite some time to watch. What a truly little work of art congratulations to cast and crew. ~Rav
This is so amazing to hear. Those are easily two of my favorite shows of all time. Grateful to have your input on our project.
This was really well done! Every shot looked clean, and the actors really sold the story. It felt very natural and not forced. Great work Ryan. The effort you put into this is clearly visible. I pray the doors of Hollywood open up to you.
Thanks for this positive and reassuring comment Bobby. We all appreciate it. The team put a lot of time and effort into this one, glad it paid off in your mind! 🙏
My man, I'm speechless! Can't even process that it's shot on a ZV-E1 yet haha
Story on point, superb lighting, scenarios and talents being freaking great and an insane grading... This should be appreciated by millions!
Such an amazing little camera. I'm so impressed with how overall image quality turned out. Happy to hear you enjoyed this one. Really appreciate it!!!
Fire bro!
Yoo appreciate you brother
Dude this was amazing! It’s usually hard for me to keep watching short films over 10 min, and this got me hooked from the start.
I recently ordered a ZV-E1, and I was looking up test shots. I stumbled across this video, and I gotta say WOW this short film is absolutely amazing and definitely deserves more recognition. I'm so glad I came across this. Props to you, the cast, crew, writers, and others involved. Keep it up making more amazing films :)
Everything about this! The production 🔥
Thank you so much for taking time to watch!!
Broooo you killed this production! Honestly I wouldn’t have guessed this was shot on the ZV-E1, it matches the quality of all you other productions. This is an example of what happens when you know your tools well and can tell a solid story! Loved it 😮💨🔥
So glad to hear this. Absolutely couldn’t have done it without the team behind the camera. Thanks for being here!
Amazing work! I hope more series like this on your channel. Really inspiring to work and shoot.
So glad you enjoyed it! I really hope to do more like this soon 🤝
This was DOPE!!!! Cinematography was on point those vintage Canon lenses with ZV-E1 are nice match, really liked the grade as well. Well done bro
Appreciate this comment!! Boy those vintage lenses are something else... 😤
This was so good, loved the visuals, music and entire premise. Great job Brett & team ❤️
Very Well Put Together on the film. The Cinematography was amazing. Nice to see what the ZV-E1 is capable of. Good job Brett on the Direction of the film. Ryan killed it with the cinematography. Excited to see more shorts from you
Deeply appreciate this. 🙏 Super proud of our entire team. Certainly more to come!!
Mind Blown the whole way through! 🤯 Super inspirational, can't believe this isn't on Netflix already! You should have 1mil+ views/ likes already! Literally in awe man, well done!
This means so so much. I genuinely appreciate the kind words my man
This was very well done.
Ever since I started learning about composition I've been watching to see how everything is life is framed.
The story really leaves you in your feelings at the end too.
Really glad you appreciate the way we shot this. Composition was a little hard due to limitations we faced with certain sets but I believe we pulled through well! Thanks for watching!!
This was seriously awesome. I had watched the behind the scenes first, so it was cool to watch the film next and see how your vision came to life. You and the team crushed it. Feeling very inspired ✨
Thanks for taking the time to watch both videos. We all appreciate the positive feedback!! Cheers! 🙌
The fact that I actually watched the whole thing shows that it was a well made film. I know that the future is bright for you guys
I appreciate this comment a lot. The whole team is super grateful
Very well done Ryan!! Everyone behind this project crushed it!
Means a lot! Everyone did exceptionally well with what we had to work with!!
This gave me heavy Insecure vibes and I’m all about it, the production level was insane. Good job to the whole team and good job Ryan! So proud of you and so inspiring!
Nah. Completely different.
@@8020Alivenot really, there’s been times in Isas life where she was going down a similar route after breaking up with Lawerence, but I respect your opinion please respect mine, thanks.
Dude so glad you enjoyed this. Truly was such an incredible experience creating this with the team. Still haven’t watched insecure yet, although this was a style direction we had in mind. Will have to check it out soon!!
I got the big Insecure vibes from this too! This was a great watch and kept my attention all the way through.
Bro I was thinking the same thing. It was definitely giving insecure vibes at times!
Simple, well-telled, amazing. A situation we all have been through. Perfect cinematography, amazing acting, such a GREAT shortfilm
Thank you so much Juan!!!
I sat here with my mouth open the whole time and in awe that this was shot with such a small but mighty camera song choice lighting feel colors everything was amazing thank you for giving me the inspiration to go create
Yo!!! There’s so much I can say about this!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 way to finish! That’s important because, to get people, to scout and get approval for locations, set design, equipment AND THE LIST CONTINUES… WAY TO FINISH FROM START TO FINISH WITH THIS PROJECT!
Appreciate your positive feedback here. We all worked extremely hard to make this components come together. 🙌🙏
This was incredible! As my first film I’ve seen of yours ( I usually just watch your tips and tricks videos). This was awesome the music choices, angles, story.. this is a true masterpiece & it 100 percent inspired me to create something of this caliber. I would love to see a behind the scenes on how this was filmed and I am definitely going to check out your other films. Keep it up bro!
Legit watched the entire thing! Amazed with the quality. Skin tones were great! Concept was funny and kept my attention! Inspired me to pick up my camera today!
Exactly what i wanted to hear man! 🙏🥲
Congrats to you and the rest of your team. VERY well done. Beautifully shot. While poorly shot and acted films can distract, almost all of your team's decisions added to the story and allowed us to become immersed and focused on what was most important.
Deeply appreciate this! Cheers
Bravo! Ryan and team. Respect from Barbados man.
Didn't realize how much this drew me in till I was about to comment how happy I am for her. VERY WELL DONE!
THANKS!! It's a fun story for sure.
This is art.
She's a great actress. Very natural. Every word she performs with her whole not just her face.
She's very talented! Thank you!!
This felt like a whole 3 hour movie condensed. This is fire 🔥
🙌🙌🙌
This came unexpected but it was pretty good. I can't understand thou how she wasn't mad after her cameras got stolen
Every time i try to watch a short film on UA-cam i never finish it but this was different then the other ones. nice work i hope there's more to come.
Great to hear, so glad you enjoyed it!!
Great film! And Oraldo Austin had me in tears😂😂😂
Kudos to the entire production 💯
Yoo Brandon thank you brother. Oraldo is such a legend!
wow, what an amazing film!!!!
I wouldn’t have thought it was shot on a Sony ZV-E1. Beautiful picture. Nice choices of framing. Visuals were on a Netflix level.
Story concept was cool. It’s being done a lot right now with the same tropes. But really that fits with what Netflix does. I feel like the first 2.5 minutes was a music video. I think it could have used narration to help frame the story and keep it moving forward. The date sequence was too long. Needed a little breaking up. Like right after the dude stole her camera she would pause for a second. Go kick it with her friend, vent, contemplate how she’s been going about how she’s been meeting these guys. Think that she has it figured out but...nope...bad date, bad date, good date. Narrating could have helped without having to shoot more scenes.
Overall Enjoyed it. You definitely did a great job as DP. I hope in the future you can get Financing that can give you more than what you need for a shoot and more than enough time. Whether its released on Netflix, other streaming services, or even just here on UA-cam. This was good.
This is really beautiful…….😮
I love the perspective, acting, literally everything about this omg
Thank you from all of us 🤝
Bravo, young people! This is truly awesome work. 👏👏👏
Been waiting for this since the BTS ,always putting out dope work!!
Appreciate you sticking around and waiting for this man. I was stoked to finally share it!!!
I hate to admit it but I kind of saw myself in the main character which kept me hooked 😂 You guys did an amazing job creating this! The story, visuals, music, and acting was all done well. It really has me thinking up a stories I could tell! 🙌🏽
Also, when buddy took her cameras I felt that! 😭
SOOO glad you enjoyed so many aspects of the film! It was a fun and challenging project to complete, but we all learned a lot. Already has me thinking of the next... 😅 Thanks!!!
What a dope short. From the taco dude who had me deadass laughing to the music choice and the beautiful aesthetic overall. Hooked from the first minute and sad it was over quick. And all of this with a "vlog" camera 😂
I really appreciate you taking the time to give such positive feedback. We worked hard and it all came together surprisingly well! The ZV-E1 did a SOLID job 😤😎
yoh man, you kill it. seeing this quality from a ZV-E1 is very interesting. the story, the color, thr dynamic so good. i love it, congrats borther, you have a lot of potentiel. hope i'm gonna see more short film like that, maybe one with the RED
Yooo thank you! Such a fun and challenging experience working with this camera in this type of production. Absolutely more to come.
@@RyanKao can’t wait to see. More from you brother.
Yo dude great job man it's really inspiring cause I'm trying to learn filmmaking. Was wondering what lens you used?
Glad to hear man, thank you!! We shot on rehoused canon rangefinders!
The colors in this are amazing 🖌️💡🎥
This was so good bro 🙏🏽 definitely looking forward to more!
Appreciate it!!
Wow this was really great, and very inspiring! I watched the behind the scenes video first, and I clicked on this out of curiosity and was not expecting to be so invested. Awesome work ❤
Great to hear! Thank you for checking them both out and I'm glad you enjoyed!
So good! Literally captured dating in LA and beautifully shot. Also soundtrack was A1
Ahhh such a pleasure getting to work with your music in this film. We’re thrilled it hit for you like we hoped!
I’m actually obsessed with your channel
If I could like this video twice I would! Great video! Went back to watch the bts as well.
Thanks for following along! The BTS was such a fun component to craft alongside this film. Hoping to do more of the same in the future!!
TACO DUDE FTW. Haha. Get that man another margarita NOW…it’s gonna be on her tab!
Oraldo did amazing in this scene. Had us all cracking up on set! 😅
Nice job! Production design was amazing. It was both LA sleek but still warm and relatable. Definite Insecure vibes and lead actress felt a little Isaa Rae/Kerry Washington :-)
Glad you could appreciate the set design here. We certainly did our best to get creative with it where we could! Also, yes Talia is so great! Thanks for watching!!
This is better than Netflix
🤗😅
Dude this was so good. Like so good. Keep it up man. You are destined to make beautiful pieces.

This is beautiful.... I like the feel and colors of this film. And especially on the dark skinned girl. Very inspiring to watch
wait ZV-E1?? No wayyyyyyy!!!!! 😵😵😵
This was dope! Really enjoyed the journey and I’m very surprised at what the zv-e1 was capable of, congrats
You and me both! This was a great opportunity to really test the ZV-E1's overall capabilities, and I'm impressed with the result. Thanks for watching!!
great composition good lightning amazing color grading everything is fire

We used vintage Canon Rangefinders!

It's good that original narrative work is being released by UA-camrs too!
This was awesome! I'm a little late getting caught up on your vids, so I watched the BTS first and didn't have a choice but to watch this next! I can totally see this as a series, in fact, I need to know what happens next!!
This is really nice, great work to you and your team.
Thanks Shelly. We all really appreciate the positive feedback!!!
I really enjoyed this!! Would love a BTS to see the process 👏🏻👏🏻
I actually published the BTS before this short film came out! Wanted to get my audience excited. Hope you give it a watch!! 🙌
@@RyanKao oh no way I must’ve missed it. I definitely will! Thanks for the heads up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well done guys.
Dope Film!
This is Crazy good! Not only the Quality, the Story is so accurate. I literally can feel the pain. Greetings from germany 🥳
Thank you so much 🙏🙌

My guy could make a film out of a flipbook of polaroids and a 8mb mp3 recorder.
Impressive bro. You and YCImaging are taking this youtube filmaking to the next level!
YC is the man!! Appreciate you 🙏

Only comment would be to have some over the shoulder shots in the conversations to break up the 1-2 camera angles
