    Fun fact: Jamie Hyneman was once asked in an interview whether or not he watches UA-cam, and said that he actually really likes your channel, so well done there.

    This is why I respect this channel so much. They show the failures, the set up, the history, give credit to inspirations, and overall they’re just themselves and not some fake UA-cam personality. But most importantly of all, they didn’t let their fame and wealth change who they are. Just chill dudes that love slow mo and video games. Never change guys!

      I feel like it's the setting. Gavin seems most comfortable and expressive in Slo Mo Guys, because he's just doing what he loves with his friend, while at Achievement Hunter, there's a lot of pressure to be funny and a lot of that humor comes from ridicule and cruel jokes (not to say they aren't funny)

He started reading up about, in his words, Unimportant Scientific details and became fascinated by it. His interested to do something with it (like writing a book) motivated him enough to skip 2 grades.

We have thought so many times of how much we would love to hang still images of that stuff as art in our home, but getting the images off of youtube wouldn't be high enough quality.

  • @burns0100
    @burns0100 6 років тому +487

    The funny thing about them wanting characters when they first started and now they naturally developed those characters over time and you know Gavs always the one safe behind the camera while Dans always out front doing the dangerous stuff and the difference in their looks now with Gav being all clean while Dans is just standing in tatters. It's funny how that stuff comes naturally over time and how when UA-cam started everyone sorta thought they had to fake it.

      I would want the 4k just for the high quality downsampling on my 1080p screen. Their videos look AMAZING streamed at 4k bitrates. I can only imagine what an uncompressed version would look like with high quality sampling.

    • @kazsmaz
      @kazsmaz 6 років тому +1

      Christian Wilhite sadly you ain't gonna get an uncompressed disk because I think you guys overestimate how much a disk can hold. More like a hard drive with a 4k video on it.

    • @DeathBringer769
      @DeathBringer769 6 років тому +1

      Even UA-cam 4K to on-disc 4K, you'd still see a huge bump up in clarity since the bitrate on the disc would be waaaaay higher. That's the main thing that gets smushed on UA-cam in terms of quality degradation. They don't even want to tell you upfront what the bitrates are on the options menu (you can look up the info but I'm saying it's not listed upfront), just the pure resolution numbers and a framerate. That should be a hint that they often skimp out on the bitrate as low as possible for the given resolution, lol.

Especially when you do shots with lots of high pressure water and flying particles, MPEG artifacts pop up real bad and it kinda stinks, cause that's where the most interesting stuff happens!

      Not sure what you're trying to say.
      UA-cam compression isn't all that great. A Blu-ray would be far superior to something streamed from UA-cam. A 4K Blu-ray would look even better than a regular Blu-ray as well, and far better than even 4K UA-cam content.
      When you stream from UA-cam you're not watching the full quality of the original video, you're getting a trimmed down version, even on the 4K stream setting. So putting the videos on a 4K disc would allow us to see the original quality of the video before it was compressed by UA-cam.
      And yes, lots of the content would be upscaled to 4K from lower resolutions, but it would still look far better than being upscaled, then being compressed by UA-cam.

      ​@@PhillipParr Blu-ray isn't really a physical medium, just a physical device that can store digital media. You can get the exact same data with no loss of quality by downloading the contents of the disc, though it might be a rather large file. Contrast this to a photograph taken by an analog camera- which IS a physical medium- where the resolution is only really limited by camera focus and paper quality, and where scanning it into digital format *will* cause a loss of fidelity.
