I once smacked my teacher's butt when I was stretching while in my chair. I was expecting to get in trouble. But she turned around, knowing it was an accident, and said, "woah, woah. Atleast buy me dinner first." Best teacher ever.
I have an embarrassing story. I was getting the mail for my parents as a little kid and unknowingly dropped a piece of junk mail and it got blown away. Then I noticed it and since the neighbors were out and could see me I yelled out litter when I picked it up. Then I saw the names of my parents on it. I want to die still. No I don't want a camera lens but I want to tell people who don't care about me stuff.
This is the only yt review I saw where the inconsistent ratio is being mentioned - and since for me that would be a deal-breaker too, you just saved me 700 bucks. Thank you!!!
Inconsistent squeeze Factor was a common problem in early CinemaScope lenses. In fact it was often referred to as the CinemaScope mumps because actors would get these very wide faces and close-ups. It wasn't until Panavision came along and added elements to the lenses that would compensate for the squeeze factor that that was eliminated in professional anamorphic lenses.
Mr. Potato, here is my embarrassing story: I used to live in Germany while I was in the Army, and I once got so drunk that I fell through the 10th story open window of a hotel I was staying at and landed on the 9th story balcony below me. I crashed through the balcony patio table and woke up the guests staying in that room. I had to exit through their hotel room to get back to the elevator leading to mine. ...I was naked. (I quit drinking altogether a short time after that)
Embarrassing Story: I went on a first date with a girl this summer, so covid was around and getting a bite to eat was a little tough. Me being the Gordon Ramsay protégé that I am offered to cook her lemon pepper salmon and Brussel sprouts. I cooked the sprouts in a Pyrex baking dish and when they were done I put them on the stove because none of the burners were on. I was wrong and as I was putting everything on plates the glass dish blew up, sounded like a gun shot and glass went everywhere. needless to say I bought her a new baking dish and she never asked to hang out again. Gotta love the year 2020
I was filming an interview shot of my principal for a school video and I forgot the tripod quick release plate. I decided to wing it and balance my camera on the top of the tripod. This didn't end so well when I forgot about it and slapped it right off the tripod onto the ground. This really accentuated the professionalism I was trying to personify!
Embarrassing story time: When I was in 9th grade, at gym class, we always did some stretching before we started the workouts. One time my stomach felt weird the entire day, but I didn’t pay that too much attention. The day went on and it was time for the gym class. We did the usual running laps at the beginning and after that, we started to do the stretching. At that moment I started to feel my stomach rumbling. I realized that I have to fart. I was barely able to hold it in, but I managed throughout the entire thing. The catastrophe happened at the last stage. The teacher asked us to lean over and touch our toes without bending our knees. At that moment, as I bent over, I let out the loudest ass cracking fart I have ever had in my entire life. Naturally, the whole class noticed, and I never heard the end of it. This happened in 2014 so a good while ago, but I never fully recovered from it. :D
I did a real estate shoot and had to heavily use the bathroom for a number 2. Nobody was around and I used the bathroom in the house I was filming in when I realized they turned off the water. Frantically looking for a way to flush the Realtor and possible buyer showed up out of the blue. I tried to tell the Realtor somehow NOT to show THAT bathroom ... well long story short. I gave the realty shoot for free and was never hired by that realtor again lol. Most embarrassing moment in my entire life lol. Was peeking at this lens for a while for my Sony a6400 . Thanks Gene for another great episode. Aloha
After watching Media Division's Master Class on Anamorphic lenses, one thing that stood out to me immediately was you talking about the squeeze up close. Apparently, this is a trait of ALL Anamorphic lenses. So, for anyone looking to get this lens, it's not the lens' fault, it's the fact you're shooting Anamorphic.
That was the best practical exploration of what the Sirui lenses can and cannot do that I have seen. Thank you! I’ll save my embarrassing moments for sometime you have a lens with my mount :)
Embarrassing Story: A couple of years ago I was invited to do a speech on a photography event and just before they called me on the stage I felt the need to go (really bad) to the bathroom, but it was too late. So I got up on the stage, waited for my turn and when I started speaking in front of the crowd I was already profusely sweating. The worst thing is that they had cameras zoomed at my face linked to big screens behind me and everyone was worried that I was ill! I endured trough the end and just as I stepped out of the stage I started running searching for the toilet, while everyone backstage wanted to talk to me and help me. I can laugh now, but it was a very dramatic moment of my life! 😂
I have seen the storyblocks segment 1000s of times, but this is expectional. Only problem, I watch this cannel because of Potato Jet and not because I film.
Last summer I had a shoot at a location that was 1 hour from my house. (Here comes the embarrassing part) the night before the shoot I went out with my mates for a drink or two, long story short we were at the club until 7 am (note that the shoot was at 10 am) so we I went home slept for 2 hours. We go to the spot with the client and I realise that my camera battery’s were not charged and I had forgot my SD cards at home. Luckily for me I had a power bank, a MacBook and a Spare 16 gb SD card with so I did the shoot with out the client noticing that I was dumb and didn’t came prepared. That day I purchased 5 more SD’s and 4 more battery’s. Love to hear an embarrassing story from you Gene.
While I cant say with any authority, because there are probably only a few people in the world that can, I have a feeling that the anamorphics from the big boys aren't going to have focus breathing/squeezing issues. Especially when they're over 10 times the cost.
@@critical well, I mean few relative to the population of the planet. There aren't that many rental houses. I bet there are probably fewer than 500 people that would have experience with enough anamorphics to speak with any authority on it.
@@herranton nah, most dop’s have used them, most Ac’s have worked with them and just here in my city there is atleast 6 Rental houses that has anamorphic lenses like hawk, cooke, kowa, lomos, master, cineovision, optimo etc
When I was in first grade I had bad case of diarrhea and right in the middle of class. I shit all over the classroom. It’s was everywhere even got on some of the other kids. They literally had to call every janitor on shift to come help clean... ☹️I must really want that lens
Embarrassing story: when I was 18 and finished school in Germany, our whole class went for spring break parties to Croatia. There I met a girl who was modeling back in Germany at this time and we had something going on for half a year. (Things broke up due to the great distance between our places of residence at this time, but we were both okay with it) 5 years later I started creating a passion for photo- and videography and after I had some jobs as a freelancer with a friend, we got this job from a clothing- and accessoires- brand to shoot their products for them. So driving to the set (2 hours away from the place I live), I get into the studio and the first person I see is the girl I met 5 years ago in Croatia (she should be the model for this day). But the most embarrassing part: the owner of the brand we were shooting was her boyfriend.
When I was born, my dad's first words to me were "Luke, I am your father!" and then I started crying. He got it all on tape. He showed it to everyone at my birthday party a few years back.
Embarrassing story: Was on a decent sized shoot and just shot the greatest shot I have ever shot as a DP, and ... the card got formatted before we could offload the files...the people who owned the location were telling us we needed to leave, it was the last shot of the day, everyone was tired, and telling everyone we needed to redo a very complicated shot was veryyy embarrassing...
On my very first day of freshman year in high school I was so lost that I wasn't able to find my first period class. When I finally did find it class had already started and I went in and asked the teacher if I was in the right class. She looked at my schedule and told me in front of the class that no I got the wrong class. So I love and try to look for the class that I was supposed to be in. And after 25 more minutes of searching I returned back to the first classroom I went to. My teacher got so mad that I was late, even though I told her that I was here earlier, she was almost shouting when she was addressing me. At this point everybody in class was staring, some of the seniors were giggling ( this was a math class and there were some seniors retaking the class). That teacher decided to sit me that smack in the middle of the class all the way in the front row. It still haunts me till this day. 🥲🥲
Thank you very much for an excellent analysis of Sirus atmospheric lenses. You have an excellent performance where you elegantly take the step out of the amateur explanation that many youtubers have. It is a pleasure to see your tests that you have filmed. You have a professional explanations and analyzes in your explanations, where you present the tests in an excellent and easy-to-understand way that I think most people can understand. As a end result, your youtube video are professional with filming, scripts, clips, and music. It is a joy to be entertained by you with good analyzes. I can understand that you are a professional. I look forward to every time you come up with your analyzes, where you elegantly describe qualities in poto / video products, something that gives me greater certainty about the qualities of units that are on my shopping list. Thanks ! You do not explain your videos in such a tedious way as this text shows. "Most optical phenomena can be explained by the description of light by classical electromagnetism. However, complete electromagnetic descriptions of light are often difficult to apply in practice. Practical optics therefore make common use of simplified models. The most common of these are geometric optics such as treats light as a collection of rays that propagate in straight lines, are deflected as they pass through or are reflected in surfaces.Physical optics also involve a more complete model of light, as necessary wave effects such as diffraction, which means that light transmitted through slits is scattered in patterns and interference, where different light waves can amplify or attenuate each other, which is not accounted for in geometric optics.Historically, the beam-based models of light were developed first, followed by the wave model.Progress in the development of the theory of electromagnetism in 1800 the number led to the discovery that light waves are actually electromagnets isk radiation.
I have the 24 and 35. I’m liking both lenses and there doesn’t appear to be any color shift between them. The 50 used different coatings than the 24 and 35. These are great budget anamorphics!
Those lenses are pretty cool Gene! One time when I was little, my uncle and I went to a hockey game. The camera man pointed to us and we were put on the video board and my uncle went to pick me up so I could see and when he did so my pants got caught on the seat and came down in front of the whole stadium (while we were still on the big screen!)
Embarrassing story: when I was in little league baseball I would always be stuck in left field. Nothing happens in left field. So I was blowing some bubbles with my gum and I hear the parents in the stands yelling at me to look but I had blown a bubble so big it was literally blocking my eyes. I turned at the last second and looked up and the ball hit me right in the eye, got a black eye and got moved to the infield so I guess it was a win.
Embarrassing Story: I once walked out of a store a didn't realize a guy with the exact same car parked next to me. I got into his car. I was like "uhhh.. this feels different." then the other guy came out and got in my car, we both got out and looked at each other and just laughed and got in our own cars.
I just had a 14 hour day fixing software problems for a public software service helping people in need of financial relief. But you guys helping us to relax after a hard day - you are the true heros: Hardcore-Dylan, Giveaway-Boy and the kid from up who`s name I can`t remember. ありがとうございますじゃがいもさん...
Check out "Anamorphic on a Budget" because he corrected some of your mistakes in this video. He's great and has been covering anamorphics for years. Cheers!
I once got a tattoo at a party in college. Problem was... It wasn’t with tattoo gun/artist, and we couldn’t decide what to put, so we just put a “?”. It’s still there 11 years later, message me for pictures.
My mother once brought me to a funeral where professional, renowned musicians were playing. I was three at the time. I shouted out "This music is SHIT". My mother didn't even know I knew that word. Everyone in the church stared us down as we crept out of the building.
One time, I was doing a recording for my client's college auditions, and forgot my SD card. Had to go back home and get it, then realized I forgot my recorder's SD card, and had to do it again. I was so embarrassed and didn't end up getting paid. Now I have a checklist for every time I shoot, and I still manage to forget things xD
Embarrassing story: On the first day of college, I had a bunch of people in my room to try to make some new friends. As it was a rainy day, and we were about to go to orientation, I had my umbrella in my hand, ready to leave. This was one of those collapsable ones with a spring in it, so it was pretty powerful. Of course, everyone knows that opening an umbrella inside is bad luck. I felt that immediately. I pressed the open button and somehow, the umbrella shot right into my groin. I was so injured by this that I had to go to the hospital to see if I could still have kids... I was somehow fine. To this day, the friends still talk about this story.
Embarrassing story 1: I became single last summer and started dating lately. There's a girl which I'm dating more often and due to lockdown we started staying overnight (nothing more,lol). Since im very into fitness and need to stay in shape I always drink some protein shakes which cause flatulence. So I was at her place couple days ago and we ate kebab and drank beer and i managed to keep all the gas always inside, which already was a major achievement. Once we both fall asleep I was so relaxed that I just RIPPED maybe the loudest one I can imagine. It was loud enough that we BOTH woke up from it. She asked me what that shock was and I told her I heard it to, im afraid and don't know what it was, maybe her neighbors 🙈. So I went back to sleep. On the next morning she told me that she only slept 3 hours cause she heard that noise couple of times afterwards and also needed to use ear plugs otherwise she wasn't able to sleep at all....😭 She still doesn't know to this day. Yes, we are still dating.
Embarassing story 3(business): I once filmed a wedding with one of my best buddies (he helps me out). We're pretty cool and in the breaks we keep us fit by doing push-ups and stuff like that. So the wedding was at an old castle and everyone was having dinner so we had a short break and thought "let's do some push ups!" We found an storeroom upstairs which we went into and did some push-ups. My buddie always cheers me up with some sounds and screams. When we came back, we noticed that not only every guest from that wedding heard us scream because that storeroom was above the dance floor, they also thought we did some...things...because we "screamed" and came back sweaty. With some clarification and a wonderful end result the customer was very happy. Still funny af.
I like that review and how you're being honest about the flaws of the lens. In the end there's a reason why the professional anamorphics are so expensive. And still there's people who talk themselves into believing a $800 lens will give them the same qualities.
On Christmas 2019, I was driving to my wife's parents house it snowed the night before, but was warmer during the day, so the snow was melting and making puddles everywhere. A cute old lady who lives down the street from me happened to be out checking her mailbox, and I didn't see her, nor the puddle on the side of the road since I was looking at a house's Christmas lights on the opposite side of the road. Before I knew it, I hit a massive puddle, sending a tidal wave on top of my neighbor (she's in her 70s) and completely soaked her out in the cold. Merry Christmas to her! 🎄🎅🏼 Hahah I ended up backing up and apologizing deeply, it was super awkward, but she was understanding and didn't get mad at me. Really wish I had a video of that event or something, it'd be hilarious to rewatch.
Embarassing story: On my first ever vacation trip leaving Haiti, my family and I took a bus ride from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando (we were going to Disney Land). The bus ride was super long and people on the bus were getting on my nerves. After a while, the bus driver announced we were stopping soon. When the bus finally stopped and we had collected our bags, I walked to the door, turned back facing everyone and yelled: "SEE YOU LATER YOU DAMNED LOSERS!". It was only a 15 minute break. Everyone was to get back on the bus and travel for another hour. When I got back on the bus, the driver gave me a "welcome back" that I new meant something else...
11 years old, I was set to do my first swming competition and did not realized the new fancy team shorts came without laces. Jumped in the watter my shorts went down all the way to the heels. Had to stop get the shorts on, and swimming like crazy, of course I finished last.
Embarrassing Story: I once worked at an upscale country club in Texas. While there I genuinely thought this lady with outstretched arms was trying to give me a hug. Afraid that it was someone important at work I went for the hug and she said "Oh no. Not you dear." and when i turned i realized her husband was coming behind me. I no longer work at a country club in Texas.... Yes, I got fired.
Embarrassing story: So I went on a small school trip were we got to choice one activity we wanted to do, I chose to photoshop with one of my friends. When we went there I with some other kids saw that they had a vr headset so we asked if we could try it and surprisingly they told us we could use it. Me and three other kids were playing with the headset, it was my turn to use the headset but a few minutes into using it I got my feet tangled in the wires and accidentally pulled to hard with my feet with caused the wires with were mounted on the ceiling to break and not work anymore. I was so embarrassed that I told the guy who supervised us that the headset randomly blacked out. Lucky for me that was the exact time we got called to go back to school so I walked as fast as possible without looking suspiciously. I still feel bad about it up until today!
10 years ago, I took my final exams during my senior year with a diarrhea the night before. I thought I was okay in the morning and took my finals. But during the exams my stomach felt weird all of a sudden, I rushed to the toilet and it exploded there. When I was about to clean myself up I noticed the bidet was broken -- good thing, I was still holding onto my test paper out of panic and brought it to the toilet. Had a lot of explaining that day with the examiner.
im gonna (try to and fail to) keep it short i was in the lift with my teacher heading to class, and it was just the two of us. the moment the doors closed, I could feel the air travel from my intestine to my rectum and I swear to god i tried my best to keep my ass shut. but I really couldn't take it so I thought spreading my asscheeks would help to let it out silently. wrong. ABSOLUTELY WRONG. turned out it was the loudest and highest pitch fart I've ever made, and the worst thing was, I was trying so hard I didn't even notice the teacher staring at me spreading my asscheeks. I've graduated and we still laugh back at that time, but holy shit the embarrassment does NOT FADE from that incident.
I don't know. Flares on this lenses look cheap. And picture on this lenses is not cinematic at all. It's not because of Potato - he is great - I see this problem in any tests.
I'd argue that most people who've tested this lens on UA-cam haven't done so with a decent lighting setup though. The main focus has been to point lights directly into the lens to show how it flares, without thinking about lighting the scene and subject properly. I'm guilty of this myself. For my review of the 24mm I shot a sequence outdoors with just natural light, and then a sequence in my studio with thought-out lighting, and the difference is huge.
Agreed, this is one of the most overrated lens trends with beginning filmmakers on UA-cam imo (not that Potato is a beginner of course!). Apart from the flares which do look ok, not great, the colours and contrast of these lenses look very cheap and not pleasing at all. Much better option to buy a Helios and get the anamorphic mod with it. Or just shoot with great spherical lenses and wait until you actually have the budget to rent proper anamorphic lenses on the appropriate project.
@@moeloehoe of course people can do what they want, I can also state my opinion on it if I want. As can you lol. Yes sure for the price it's a cool entry but not worth it in my opinion as you sacrifice image quality (and I'm not talking about sharpness mind you) for the trend of flares and oval bokeh. The latter you can get with Russian vintage lenses for much cheaper and the former can be faked quite easily. We can all have our opinions of course.
Embarrassing Story: I’m talking to a classmate at school in 8th grade (2001) and out of nowhere midway in our casual conversation she says, “Remember when you used to wear girls clothes to school?” (I’m a guy). I laugh it off thinking she’s joking and have no clue what she’s talking about. She responds, “Yeah, you used to wear those girl pants… you know the one with the pink embroidered rose on the back butt pocket?” At that moment my laughter slowly stops as I suddenly have a flashback [WHOOSH~] and at that moment I knew exactly what she was talking about. Back in 4th grade (1997) when I had no care or interest in clothes and my mom was still picking out my school clothes (also embarrassing) we received bags full of second hand clothes from a family friend. All the clothes in the bags were for boys, but there was one navy blue corduroy pants that had an embroidered pink rose with a green stem on the back butt pocket. I have no idea how I or my mom didn’t notice the pants were for girls. My guess now is since all the other clothes in the bags were for boys that we didn't give it a second thought and somehow those pants had snuck in there. After she mentions the pants I realize all my other classmates must have known they were pants for girls and NO ONE had mentioned it to me. I remember wearing those pants every week for at least that whole school year. I still think about those pants from time to time and wonder where they are… probably up in my parent's attic somewhere.
Embarrassing story time: Me and my friends got some McDonald's a few hours before class and I saved some for take out. I wanted to eat so I started pretending that I was looking for something in my bag so I could stuff my face full of burgers. I took two for takeout and I noticed one of them tasted pretty funny. After 30 minutes or so my stomach started to feel like shit. I couldn't feel anything "solid" so I knew I just had to let it rip. Everyone was really noisy so I knew I was safe. But I knew I can never be too safe, so to make sure my ass cheeks weren't gonna clap as I let it rip, I had to make sure that those bad boys weren't in the way. So in my head standing up sounded like a good idea. But I needed an excuse. I started squinting at the PowerPoint and was trying to sell the fact that I couldn't see. So I slowly stood up with my feet shoulder width apart for optimal airflow. And just when I just started to fart, she calls me out so everyone falls silent and looks at me only to rip the stinkiest, nastiest longest, loudest fart I've made and heard in my life. That happened two years ago and that professor is now my mentor. Whenever she introduces me to her colleagues she tells them that story and I die a little bit inside every time she talks about it.
So back in Highschool I was a varsity swimmer and yes that means Speedos were being worn, well anyways at practice one day we had the door open into the pool to the outside to cool off the pool room (MN winters) and I thought it would be funny to go dive into a snow pile outside the door... but also my coach thought it would be funny to shut the door and not let me back in. So there I am outside in the snow wearing a Speedo and now having to go back into a different entrance of the school, and you guessed it... had to walk mostly naked into a main entrance with tons of kids from my school making fun of me as I make my walk of shame back to the pool. It was cold that day 🥶
Embarassing story : I'm a French professional explorer. In 2019, I walked 3000 kilometers (1865 miles) across Canada during the dead winter. One day, as the temperature was really low, like -35°C (-31°F), I was singing while walking to warm up. I had a carabiner hooked on my backpack strap. suddenly, I heard a noise, like a wolf or a coyote scream. So I turned around really quickly, but mouth open and tongue out, as I was still singing. My tongue touched the carabiner, and because of the crazy cold, stayed stuck to it. So I was there, in the middle of nowhere, in a crazy cold, surrounded by wild animals, screaming only the vowels of insults, my head twisted in a painful angle on my right side. That was pretty embarassing I must say. Weird memorie.
I have the Sirui 24mm, 50mm, and the 75mm is coming today. Plus I have a Sirui Saturn 35mm 1.6X anamorphic. They are awkward to use, but I love the Panoromics I get from them.
The following event happened around 2008-2009. I was covering the state budget at the Capitol back when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Governor. You've seen the scenario before; all the media from the state was there, lined up against the wall, leaving very little space to move around. To give you perspective, Arnold was roughly 20-30 feet away from us at his desk. It was around 9:15 p.m. and getting close to our deadline. The reporter who I was with tapped me on the shoulder and said we need to go back to our vehicle and put our story together. As I was leaving, my foot got caught on the bottom leg of my tripod, causing me to fall chest first onto a printer that was behind me. Then came the tripod. Then the camera. The entire room became quiet. All eyes on me. Arnold's eyes on me. No words could describe how embarrassed I was. I fell in front of Arnold and stopped the signing of the state's budget from happening. As my reporter was helping me get on my feet, I felt something new. Something that was not there before. A cold breeze. I look down and what do I see? My pants and underwear completely ripped from the seam of my crotch to the ankle. Revealing myself to the world. I didn't really have time to comprehend what had happened. All I knew was I had to make my deadline. I ran back to the vehicle and put the story together, exposed, and out in the open. I don't really understand how those series of events lead to there. The whole situation still baffles me. Years later, I told this story to my boss. “THAT WAS YOU?”. He was one of the photojournalists next to me. To this day, I'm not 100% sure if Arnold has seen my peen, but now I know that my boss has
Embarrassing Story: My sister and I were trying to make our shadows look like they were fighting and I accidentally punched her in the face, right between her eyes. Later that day, I was explaining to a friend how it happened and I punched her again. In the same spot.
Embarrassing Story: I was at Walmart with my sister, and idk where she went or how I lost her but I thought this other woman was my sister so I was following her around the store for 15 minutes before realizing it wasnt her when I poked her to get her attention and it was just not her😂💀 Does that qualify me for the lens?😂😂😂
I spent a week editing (and learning to edit) a recording of my sister on the Viola for a competition, and then realized it was too late for her competition. She is still mad at me to this day.
Embarrassing story: when I was in 3rd grade I approached my crush, Jacky I believe her name is, to confess my genuine and really mature love for her. I tapped her shoulder and as I began giving my elevator pitch of love she began laughing. Apparently having my fly down and my blinding white undies showing was not the right approach. Her loss in my opinion. 🧐🥴
A couple weeks ago I was riding my Onewheel around my neighborhood. I'm still pretty new, but I THOUGHT I was pretty good on it. Was heading home, just got back to my street. This very nice woman at a stop sign smiled and waved for me to go ahead. I crossed the street, and I was just a couple houses down from mine so I was feeling like I could let my guard down. Leaned forward to accelerate more, while also hitting some loose rocks/gravel. Next thing I know I'm laying on the ground, scrapped up, thanking God I had my helmet on. Then I hear the woman yell from her car window "oh my God are you okay?" I am okay, other than some scrapes, and my pride. Wear a helmet kids
embarrassing story: I was at a client for a video and I was almost done ... but where I put the stabilizer it falls in front of everyone splitting the tripod and I "yeah it's normal to do this" actually I was crying inside
@@tinghirmaroc3176 now i have PTSD when I see my gimbal... but I think that sooner or later I will be able to return to normal life and I can have friends 🥲😂
I was working door at a tickets only new years party, and we were oversold. I had been politely turning people away, when my boss came out to help. We continued to let people know we were sold to capacity, and one couple came by who would have been really excited to come in to check out our bar for a single drink, but we politely turned them away too. Before they made it out of earshot, a young couple who was dressed to the nines for the party theme came up, but didn't have tickets. My boss let them know that since they looked so fabulous, we could certainly make an exception for them. My stomach dropped, and as I looked across the street, I immediately made eye contact with the woman we had just turned away. I didn't offer to work the door for parties like that in the future XD
Okay I’m definitely winning this giveaway, so when I was a kid I used to have pretty big stomach problems... One day I had a really bad stomachache in class, and I remember trying to let out a small fart, and it was one of those diarrhea farts, but it was also one of those that I couldn’t tell whether I had sharted or not.... so.... in the middle of class I go under my table and I’m hoping everyone is distracted, so I just reach into my ass to check whether I had done it..... and....I did. So in the middle of class! I have a shitty ass finger and everything is starting to smell.... so I just run out of the classroom... and I didn’t have to go back to school for the rest of the semester.
I was super tired one day and I fell asleep in the bus. I was awaken by the bus driver telling my that I was at the last stop. There's not a lot bus in my area so I had to walk back home, it took me an hour and a half in freezing canadian winter :')
Embarrassing story: I called in sick to work to go to a free wine tasting meant for restaurateurs, I made a fake name and business cards at work and got in! Within 2 hours I was hammered and I bumped into someone... my boss. I was scared for a second until I realized he also didn’t work in the restauraunt/food industry, we noticed our nametags had BS names, BS job titles and BS businesses, so I said “cheers”, bumped glasses with him and we never spoke of that day again
I was 10 y/o when I participated in a story telling contest. I told a story about a monkey and a mousedeer, a pretty common story back in my country. The thing is that I was forced to join the contest, and at that time I can barely remember how the story I was telling goes, which resulted in me scratching my head for the whole time trying to remember the story. The crowd were all laughing at me cause they think I was imitating a monkey with the head-scratching, but I was just trying to remember the plot of the story I was telling. It was embarrassing for me cause I thought they were laughing at me for not remembering the story. I immediately ran away from the stage after telling a half-a$$ed story, which resulted in the crowd to laugh more. But then, when they announced the winner, I got the second place! Welp, at least I got a prize for that
My most embarrassing story went a little like this. There was this new talent we had in our production company and I was hyped to shoot her takes. As I was setting up her lights and set, the news that this new talent was a runway model and stuff circled around the office and pretty soon, people were flocking to the studio to see her. Now the studio I work in is pretty small, factor in a few LED lights, some fill lights, all on huge tripods and half of the office inside the studio, you could say that I was getting a little bit annoyed. When I was finishing up one final adjustment to the lights by carrying a fill light closer to the model, I almost tripped on one of the tripods of the lights because it was getting too crowded inside the studio. In the most annoyed and irritated voice I ever spoke in, I shouted "ANY NON ESSENTIAL PERSON IN THE ROOM, PLEASE GET OUT" And then everybody looked at me. Behind me was the executive assistant of the whole production company. She wasn't essential to the shoot. But she was way beyond the chain of command for me to relay orders to 😂
I’ll throw my hat in the ring with an embarrassing story: Back in school I was in choir and we had concerts every once and a while. One time I had a solo for a song and had to move from the top of the risers where all the members were standing and walk down to a mic at the front of the stage. Right as I was stepping off the risers I tripped, slammed into the ground with the loudest noise I could ever imagine and I’m fairly certain I broke something in my hand catching my fall but never fixed it lmao
I live on the Gulf Coast. There was a hurricane in the Gulf, and everyone was nervous... but I took a first date to the movies anyway. (I know, right?) Mid way through the movie, the electricity went out. It had nothing to do with the hurricane, but everyone's first thought went there anyway. The inside of a dark theater is really, REALLY dark. Like "can't-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-face" dark. The theater was packed, and no one could move because of the darkness (before cell phones). No one made a sound, and you could just feel this huge tension. Then the girl I was with blurted out, "Kiss you? I don't even KNOW you!" The whole theater fell apart laughing, but I felt like everyone was laughing at me and I know I was bright red. It took a few minutes before I calmed down and laughed myself.
Loving actually being up front with dislikes, when done i a good way, it really adds value to the video, and to the person watching intending to buy..... I would trust you to review gear for all my favorite hobbies! Most Testers/youtubers are to afraid not to get the next product from that manufacture, but done your way, it's actually probably the best review Sirui could possibly get... Btw. i did not know how desperately i need an anamorphic solution for my camera.... and Sirui is in my price range.. but now i know exactly what i'm getting into, and what limitations to expect... so i dont get frustrated from discovering it myself...
One time I was in the reading class of my schools most strict teacher and I sneezed so hard my chair flipped backwards onto the tile ground. And no, I still have no idea how I didn't bust my head open on the ground.
Embarrassing Story: one day in biology class in middle school we were learning about organisms. I was always really quiet in class. I never raised my hand because I was always second-guessing answers. The teacher asked a question to the class and I quickly answered “Orgasm!” and the class erupted into laughter. The sad part was that I didn’t even know what an orgasm was and didn’t understand why everyone laughed for years. At least I know a ton about orgasms now!!! lol. Love your channel.
When I used to roadie, I loaded gear on stage for a local "Battle of the Bands." The house was packed and as I bent over to place a small amp, I split my cargo shorts, waist to crotch, in front of about 1200 people. Worse yet, I was going commando. The crowd erupted in cheers and laughter. I did the only thing I could do: I turned around, raised my arms triumphantly, throwing the goat horns, and ran offstage.
First couple days of college, I didn’t know where things were at so I went looking around for a cafeteria when I was hungry. Finally found it, decided to grub out on it with a bit of food. Went to pay, TOOK 5 STEPS, tripped and dropped everything including my drink. Never went back to the cafeteria again
My embarrassing story: On my first video shoot, we drove 3 hours to the location, and I idiot forgot my camera backpack. We had to drive back and shoot it the next day. On the next day I stupidly left the SD card in the computer. Luckily I had a mini SD card in my phone and I also had an adapter with me. Then we could film after all :D
I was the DOP/Camera guy for a college short film. We had to get this smooth clean shot of blood flowing down a plane. Everything went absolutely phenomenal on the first try except I didn't press the record button. It was quite embarrassing for me to look the rest of the team in the eye after that because I was the only senior on the team and the others were sophomores
I once participated in a street race, not realizing my opponent was a police patrol vehicle (fully marked). Sirens flashed as soon as we both hit 70mph (on a 55). When asked "why were you speeding?" I responded "I was just matching your speed, officer". I was let go with a warning, a lucky break, for I was 15 years young and driving alone with a mere drivers permit.
My embarrassing story: I worked as a janitor at an elementary school. During the summer we were cleaning the classrooms and I found a stack of meter sticks. Through a stroke of nerdy genius I decided to try a Darth Maul flip while holding two of the meter sticks together. When I attempted the flip, I lost all sense of where I was and slammed to the ground, breaking one of the meter sticks. This was right in front of my coworkers, but also at that very moment, my boss and the school principal had walked by the classroom and saw the whole thing. Luckily, I didn't lose my job, but it definitely was a strike to my pride.
My embarrassing story: I swam for the university swimming team. University swimming teams in the UK are notorious for "socials" at major competitions. We went to a national students competition and went out for "a drink". At 8 am the next day, I had my first event's qualifying round. I was so hung over that I turned green. The starter even called everyone off the starting blocks to ask me if I was all right. It was the slowest I have ever done that distance and needed help getting out at the end. The on site announcer made the assembled audience slow clap me at the finish.
My embarrassing story: Many years ago, I was attending a local comic con with my friend. We were having a great day. I was carrying his camera in my bag. After sitting down for a tasty lunch, we continued to explore the convention... until about fifteen minutes later, my friend asked for his camera back. It was in this instant I realised I no longer had the bag. I sprinted back to where we had lunch.... and I was SO LUCKY that a very kind lady had picked up my bag for me, keeping it safe. I felt like such a fool. That could have been a lot worse. Also I own a Sony a6400 E-Mount Camera. 👍
I once smacked my teacher's butt when I was stretching while in my chair. I was expecting to get in trouble. But she turned around, knowing it was an accident, and said, "woah, woah. Atleast buy me dinner first." Best teacher ever.
For those wondering. I did not get the lens... 🥺
LMAO!
I have an embarrassing story. I was getting the mail for my parents as a little kid and unknowingly dropped a piece of junk mail and it got blown away. Then I noticed it and since the neighbors were out and could see me I yelled out litter when I picked it up. Then I saw the names of my parents on it. I want to die still. No I don't want a camera lens but I want to tell people who don't care about me stuff.
@@Nick-4K but did you tap that teacher?
@@Nick-4Kbut did you smash
This is the only yt review I saw where the inconsistent ratio is being mentioned - and since for me that would be a deal-breaker too, you just saved me 700 bucks. Thank you!!!
Inconsistent squeeze Factor was a common problem in early CinemaScope lenses. In fact it was often referred to as the CinemaScope mumps because actors would get these very wide faces and close-ups. It wasn't until Panavision came along and added elements to the lenses that would compensate for the squeeze factor that that was eliminated in professional anamorphic lenses.
Mr. Potato, here is my embarrassing story: I used to live in Germany while I was in the Army, and I once got so drunk that I fell through the 10th story open window of a hotel I was staying at and landed on the 9th story balcony below me. I crashed through the balcony patio table and woke up the guests staying in that room. I had to exit through their hotel room to get back to the elevator leading to mine. ...I was naked. (I quit drinking altogether a short time after that)
This ones my favorite
@@mattledbetter7313 lol. Thanks
HAHAHAHA
Never fuck with German Beer......or it will fuck you xD

Embarrassing Story: I went on a first date with a girl this summer, so covid was around and getting a bite to eat was a little tough. Me being the Gordon Ramsay protégé that I am offered to cook her lemon pepper salmon and Brussel sprouts. I cooked the sprouts in a Pyrex baking dish and when they were done I put them on the stove because none of the burners were on. I was wrong and as I was putting everything on plates the glass dish blew up, sounded like a gun shot and glass went everywhere. needless to say I bought her a new baking dish and she never asked to hang out again. Gotta love the year 2020
I was filming an interview shot of my principal for a school video and I forgot the tripod quick release plate. I decided to wing it and balance my camera on the top of the tripod. This didn't end so well when I forgot about it and slapped it right off the tripod onto the ground. This really accentuated the professionalism I was trying to personify!
Embarrassing story time: When I was in 9th grade, at gym class, we always did some stretching before we started the workouts. One time my stomach felt weird the entire day, but I didn’t pay that too much attention. The day went on and it was time for the gym class. We did the usual running laps at the beginning and after that, we started to do the stretching. At that moment I started to feel my stomach rumbling. I realized that I have to fart. I was barely able to hold it in, but I managed throughout the entire thing. The catastrophe happened at the last stage. The teacher asked us to lean over and touch our toes without bending our knees. At that moment, as I bent over, I let out the loudest ass cracking fart I have ever had in my entire life. Naturally, the whole class noticed, and I never heard the end of it. This happened in 2014 so a good while ago, but I never fully recovered from it. :D
I did a real estate shoot and had to heavily use the bathroom for a number 2. Nobody was around and I used the bathroom in the house I was filming in when I realized they turned off the water. Frantically looking for a way to flush the Realtor and possible buyer showed up out of the blue. I tried to tell the Realtor somehow NOT to show THAT bathroom ... well long story short. I gave the realty shoot for free and was never hired by that realtor again lol. Most embarrassing moment in my entire life lol. Was peeking at this lens for a while for my Sony a6400 . Thanks Gene for another great episode. Aloha
After watching Media Division's Master Class on Anamorphic lenses, one thing that stood out to me immediately was you talking about the squeeze up close. Apparently, this is a trait of ALL Anamorphic lenses. So, for anyone looking to get this lens, it's not the lens' fault, it's the fact you're shooting Anamorphic.
These are the best budget anamorphic lenses out there for a videographer period.
That was the best practical exploration of what the Sirui lenses can and cannot do that I have seen. Thank you! I’ll save my embarrassing moments for sometime you have a lens with my mount :)
Wow! A month ago I saw the ads and now I get to see an in-depth analysis. You're a legend bro!! Thanks heaps!!
Embarrassing Story: A couple of years ago I was invited to do a speech on a photography event and just before they called me on the stage I felt the need to go (really bad) to the bathroom, but it was too late. So I got up on the stage, waited for my turn and when I started speaking in front of the crowd I was already profusely sweating. The worst thing is that they had cameras zoomed at my face linked to big screens behind me and everyone was worried that I was ill! I endured trough the end and just as I stepped out of the stage I started running searching for the toilet, while everyone backstage wanted to talk to me and help me. I can laugh now, but it was a very dramatic moment of my life! 😂
I have seen the storyblocks segment 1000s of times, but this is expectional. Only problem, I watch this cannel because of Potato Jet and not because I film.
I once in middle school took a picture of someones hair and said it had a "nice texture," I don't think I'll be able to forget that, ever
Last summer I had a shoot at a location that was 1 hour from my house. (Here comes the embarrassing part) the night before the shoot I went out with my mates for a drink or two, long story short we were at the club until 7 am (note that the shoot was at 10 am) so we I went home slept for 2 hours. We go to the spot with the client and I realise that my camera battery’s were not charged and I had forgot my SD cards at home. Luckily for me I had a power bank, a MacBook and a Spare 16 gb SD card with so I did the shoot with out the client noticing that I was dumb and didn’t came prepared.
That day I purchased 5 more SD’s and 4 more battery’s.
Love to hear an embarrassing story from you Gene.
Try the squeeze vs distance thing on other anamorphic lenses
youre quite possibly the last person id expect to see here lol
While I cant say with any authority, because there are probably only a few people in the world that can, I have a feeling that the anamorphics from the big boys aren't going to have focus breathing/squeezing issues. Especially when they're over 10 times the cost.
@@herranton a few people in the world? Just go to a rental house
@@critical well, I mean few relative to the population of the planet. There aren't that many rental houses. I bet there are probably fewer than 500 people that would have experience with enough anamorphics to speak with any authority on it.
@@herranton nah, most dop’s have used them, most Ac’s have worked with them and just here in my city there is atleast 6 Rental houses that has anamorphic lenses like hawk, cooke, kowa, lomos, master, cineovision, optimo etc
When I was in first grade I had bad case of diarrhea and right in the middle of class. I shit all over the classroom. It’s was everywhere even got on some of the other kids. They literally had to call every janitor on shift to come help clean... ☹️I must really want that lens
Embarrassing story: when I was 18 and finished school in Germany, our whole class went for spring break parties to Croatia. There I met a girl who was modeling back in Germany at this time and we had something going on for half a year. (Things broke up due to the great distance between our places of residence at this time, but we were both okay with it)
5 years later I started creating a passion for photo- and videography and after I had some jobs as a freelancer with a friend, we got this job from a clothing- and accessoires- brand to shoot their products for them. So driving to the set (2 hours away from the place I live), I get into the studio and the first person I see is the girl I met 5 years ago in Croatia (she should be the model for this day). But the most embarrassing part: the owner of the brand we were shooting was her boyfriend.
When I was born, my dad's first words to me were "Luke, I am your father!" and then I started crying. He got it all on tape. He showed it to everyone at my birthday party a few years back.
Embarrassing story: Was on a decent sized shoot and just shot the greatest shot I have ever shot as a DP, and ... the card got formatted before we could offload the files...the people who owned the location were telling us we needed to leave, it was the last shot of the day, everyone was tired, and telling everyone we needed to redo a very complicated shot was veryyy embarrassing...
it's easy to restore if it was just formatted and not written over
On my very first day of freshman year in high school I was so lost that I wasn't able to find my first period class.
When I finally did find it class had already started and I went in and asked the teacher if I was in the right class. She looked at my schedule and told me in front of the class that no I got the wrong class.
So I love and try to look for the class that I was supposed to be in. And after 25 more minutes of searching I returned back to the first classroom I went to. My teacher got so mad that I was late, even though I told her that I was here earlier, she was almost shouting when she was addressing me. At this point everybody in class was staring, some of the seniors were giggling ( this was a math class and there were some seniors retaking the class). That teacher decided to sit me that smack in the middle of the class all the way in the front row.
It still haunts me till this day. 🥲🥲
Thank you very much for an excellent analysis of Sirus atmospheric lenses. You have an excellent performance where you elegantly take the step out of the amateur explanation that many youtubers have.
It is a pleasure to see your tests that you have filmed. You have a professional explanations and analyzes in your explanations, where you present the tests in an excellent and easy-to-understand way that I think most people can understand.
As a end result, your youtube video are professional with filming, scripts, clips, and music.
It is a joy to be entertained by you with good analyzes. I can understand that you are a professional.
I look forward to every time you come up with your analyzes, where you elegantly describe qualities in poto / video products, something that gives me greater certainty about the qualities of units that are on my shopping list.
Thanks !
You do not explain your videos in such a tedious way as this text shows.
"Most optical phenomena can be explained by the description of light by classical electromagnetism. However, complete electromagnetic descriptions of light are often difficult to apply in practice. Practical optics therefore make common use of simplified models. The most common of these are geometric optics such as treats light as a collection of rays that propagate in straight lines, are deflected as they pass through or are reflected in surfaces.Physical optics also involve a more complete model of light, as necessary wave effects such as diffraction, which means that light transmitted through slits is scattered in patterns and interference, where different light waves can amplify or attenuate each other, which is not accounted for in geometric optics.Historically, the beam-based models of light were developed first, followed by the wave model.Progress in the development of the theory of electromagnetism in 1800 the number led to the discovery that light waves are actually electromagnets isk radiation.
That was the MOST enjoyable word from our sponsor i have ever seen!
I have the 24 and 35. I’m liking both lenses and there doesn’t appear to be any color shift between them. The 50 used different coatings than the 24 and 35. These are great budget anamorphics!
Those lenses are pretty cool Gene! One time when I was little, my uncle and I went to a hockey game. The camera man pointed to us and we were put on the video board and my uncle went to pick me up so I could see and when he did so my pants got caught on the seat and came down in front of the whole stadium (while we were still on the big screen!)
Embarrassing story: when I was in little league baseball I would always be stuck in left field. Nothing happens in left field. So I was blowing some bubbles with my gum and I hear the parents in the stands yelling at me to look but I had blown a bubble so big it was literally blocking my eyes. I turned at the last second and looked up and the ball hit me right in the eye, got a black eye and got moved to the infield so I guess it was a win.

Dear all, I saved half of the budget I need for this short film and I wish you guys will bless me with this amazing Sirui lens. Love. TIA
Embarrassing Story: I once walked out of a store a didn't realize a guy with the exact same car parked next to me. I got into his car. I was like "uhhh.. this feels different." then the other guy came out and got in my car, we both got out and looked at each other and just laughed and got in our own cars.
This is awesome 😂😂
That's not embarrassing

I once got a tattoo at a party in college. Problem was... It wasn’t with tattoo gun/artist, and we couldn’t decide what to put, so we just put a “?”. It’s still there 11 years later, message me for pictures.
I am actually your subscriber, hope to see your anamorphic shots 😁
Wow, PJ, that ad for Storyblocks made me want to go there NOW! But then, I've been with them since they were Video Blocks back in 2012 or so!
Anamorphic filming enhanced the feel of a story by making it look like it comes from a world different than our reality.
You shot THE JASON BRITTON. AWESOME!!!! That was so cool to see him on your video. (He was the black motorcycle rider)
My mother once brought me to a funeral where professional, renowned musicians were playing. I was three at the time. I shouted out "This music is SHIT". My mother didn't even know I knew that word. Everyone in the church stared us down as we crept out of the building.
Broooooo
One time, I was doing a recording for my client's college auditions, and forgot my SD card. Had to go back home and get it, then realized I forgot my recorder's SD card, and had to do it again. I was so embarrassed and didn't end up getting paid. Now I have a checklist for every time I shoot, and I still manage to forget things xD
Embarrassing story: On the first day of college, I had a bunch of people in my room to try to make some new friends. As it was a rainy day, and we were about to go to orientation, I had my umbrella in my hand, ready to leave. This was one of those collapsable ones with a spring in it, so it was pretty powerful. Of course, everyone knows that opening an umbrella inside is bad luck. I felt that immediately. I pressed the open button and somehow, the umbrella shot right into my groin. I was so injured by this that I had to go to the hospital to see if I could still have kids... I was somehow fine. To this day, the friends still talk about this story.
Embarrassing story 1:
I became single last summer and started dating lately.
There's a girl which I'm dating more often and due to lockdown we started staying overnight (nothing more,lol).
Since im very into fitness and need to stay in shape I always drink some protein shakes which cause flatulence.
So I was at her place couple days ago and we ate kebab and drank beer and i managed to keep all the gas always inside, which already was a major achievement.
Once we both fall asleep I was so relaxed that I just RIPPED maybe the loudest one I can imagine. It was loud enough that we BOTH woke up from it.
She asked me what that shock was and I told her I heard it to, im afraid and don't know what it was, maybe her neighbors 🙈.
So I went back to sleep. On the next morning she told me that she only slept 3 hours cause she heard that noise couple of times afterwards and also needed to use ear plugs otherwise she wasn't able to sleep at all....😭
She still doesn't know to this day.
Yes, we are still dating.
Embarassing story 2:
At work I once forgot to lock the stall and one of my colleagues came in.
Worst day ever.
Embarassing story 3(business):
I once filmed a wedding with one of my best buddies (he helps me out).
We're pretty cool and in the breaks we keep us fit by doing push-ups and stuff like that.
So the wedding was at an old castle and everyone was having dinner so we had a short break and thought "let's do some push ups!"
We found an storeroom upstairs which we went into and did some push-ups. My buddie always cheers me up with some sounds and screams.
When we came back, we noticed that not only every guest from that wedding heard us scream because that storeroom was above the dance floor, they also thought we did some...things...because we "screamed" and came back sweaty.
With some clarification and a wonderful end result the customer was very happy. Still funny af.
I can't even afford a cheap camera, what am I doing here
I am doing what you are doing
We can dream
1. First time I haven't skipped an add.
2. If i know Dylan well enough it probably took at least 10 shots to nail it ;)
Love it!
I like that review and how you're being honest about the flaws of the lens. In the end there's a reason why the professional anamorphics are so expensive. And still there's people who talk themselves into believing a $800 lens will give them the same qualities.
On Christmas 2019, I was driving to my wife's parents house it snowed the night before, but was warmer during the day, so the snow was melting and making puddles everywhere. A cute old lady who lives down the street from me happened to be out checking her mailbox, and I didn't see her, nor the puddle on the side of the road since I was looking at a house's Christmas lights on the opposite side of the road. Before I knew it, I hit a massive puddle, sending a tidal wave on top of my neighbor (she's in her 70s) and completely soaked her out in the cold. Merry Christmas to her! 🎄🎅🏼 Hahah I ended up backing up and apologizing deeply, it was super awkward, but she was understanding and didn't get mad at me. Really wish I had a video of that event or something, it'd be hilarious to rewatch.
Embarassing story: On my first ever vacation trip leaving Haiti, my family and I took a bus ride from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando (we were going to Disney Land).
The bus ride was super long and people on the bus were getting on my nerves. After a while, the bus driver announced we were stopping soon. When the bus finally stopped and we had collected our bags, I walked to the door, turned back facing everyone and yelled: "SEE YOU LATER YOU DAMNED LOSERS!".
It was only a 15 minute break. Everyone was to get back on the bus and travel for another hour.
When I got back on the bus, the driver gave me a "welcome back" that I new meant something else...
11 years old, I was set to do my first swming competition and did not realized the new fancy team shorts came without laces.
Jumped in the watter my shorts went down all the way to the heels. Had to stop get the shorts on, and swimming like crazy, of course I finished last.
Embarrassing Story: I once worked at an upscale country club in Texas. While there I genuinely thought this lady with outstretched arms was trying to give me a hug. Afraid that it was someone important at work I went for the hug and she said "Oh no. Not you dear." and when i turned i realized her husband was coming behind me. I no longer work at a country club in Texas.... Yes, I got fired.
That sponsor segment was way too funny! Great vid!
Embarrassing story: So I went on a small school trip were we got to choice one activity we wanted to do, I chose to photoshop with one of my friends. When we went there I with some other kids saw that they had a vr headset so we asked if we could try it and surprisingly they told us we could use it. Me and three other kids were playing with the headset, it was my turn to use the headset but a few minutes into using it I got my feet tangled in the wires and accidentally pulled to hard with my feet with caused the wires with were mounted on the ceiling to break and not work anymore. I was so embarrassed that I told the guy who supervised us that the headset randomly blacked out. Lucky for me that was the exact time we got called to go back to school so I walked as fast as possible without looking suspiciously. I still feel bad about it up until today!
10 years ago, I took my final exams during my senior year with a diarrhea the night before. I thought I was okay in the morning and took my finals. But during the exams my stomach felt weird all of a sudden, I rushed to the toilet and it exploded there. When I was about to clean myself up I noticed the bidet was broken -- good thing, I was still holding onto my test paper out of panic and brought it to the toilet. Had a lot of explaining that day with the examiner.
im gonna (try to and fail to) keep it short
i was in the lift with my teacher heading to class, and it was just the two of us. the moment the doors closed, I could feel the air travel from my intestine to my rectum and I swear to god i tried my best to keep my ass shut. but I really couldn't take it so I thought spreading my asscheeks would help to let it out silently. wrong. ABSOLUTELY WRONG. turned out it was the loudest and highest pitch fart I've ever made, and the worst thing was, I was trying so hard I didn't even notice the teacher staring at me spreading my asscheeks. I've graduated and we still laugh back at that time, but holy shit the embarrassment does NOT FADE from that incident.
Man, Dylan is sounding even more awesome through the SM7b!
I don't know. Flares on this lenses look cheap. And picture on this lenses is not cinematic at all. It's not because of Potato - he is great - I see this problem in any tests.
i mean... they are cheap lenses
I'd argue that most people who've tested this lens on UA-cam haven't done so with a decent lighting setup though. The main focus has been to point lights directly into the lens to show how it flares, without thinking about lighting the scene and subject properly. I'm guilty of this myself. For my review of the 24mm I shot a sequence outdoors with just natural light, and then a sequence in my studio with thought-out lighting, and the difference is huge.
Agreed, this is one of the most overrated lens trends with beginning filmmakers on UA-cam imo (not that Potato is a beginner of course!). Apart from the flares which do look ok, not great, the colours and contrast of these lenses look very cheap and not pleasing at all. Much better option to buy a Helios and get the anamorphic mod with it. Or just shoot with great spherical lenses and wait until you actually have the budget to rent proper anamorphic lenses on the appropriate project.
@@NicolasWaldvogel why? Let people do whatever they want.
699 for a beginner anamorphic lens? I would've loved that a lot back in the early 2000's.
@@moeloehoe of course people can do what they want, I can also state my opinion on it if I want. As can you lol. Yes sure for the price it's a cool entry but not worth it in my opinion as you sacrifice image quality (and I'm not talking about sharpness mind you) for the trend of flares and oval bokeh. The latter you can get with Russian vintage lenses for much cheaper and the former can be faked quite easily. We can all have our opinions of course.
Great test! Glad you found out about the variable squeeze!
Embarrassing Story: I’m talking to a classmate at school in 8th grade (2001) and out of nowhere midway in our casual conversation she says, “Remember when you used to wear girls clothes to school?” (I’m a guy). I laugh it off thinking she’s joking and have no clue what she’s talking about. She responds, “Yeah, you used to wear those girl pants… you know the one with the pink embroidered rose on the back butt pocket?” At that moment my laughter slowly stops as I suddenly have a flashback [WHOOSH~] and at that moment I knew exactly what she was talking about. Back in 4th grade (1997) when I had no care or interest in clothes and my mom was still picking out my school clothes (also embarrassing) we received bags full of second hand clothes from a family friend. All the clothes in the bags were for boys, but there was one navy blue corduroy pants that had an embroidered pink rose with a green stem on the back butt pocket. I have no idea how I or my mom didn’t notice the pants were for girls. My guess now is since all the other clothes in the bags were for boys that we didn't give it a second thought and somehow those pants had snuck in there. After she mentions the pants I realize all my other classmates must have known they were pants for girls and NO ONE had mentioned it to me. I remember wearing those pants every week for at least that whole school year. I still think about those pants from time to time and wonder where they are… probably up in my parent's attic somewhere.
Nah homie, nowadays those would be trendy think of it like you're the trend setter
Not the worst I guess. I could totally picture a rockstar like Bowie wearing this kind of pants.
Embarrassing story time:
Me and my friends got some McDonald's a few hours before class and I saved some for take out. I wanted to eat so I started pretending that I was looking for something in my bag so I could stuff my face full of burgers. I took two for takeout and I noticed one of them tasted pretty funny.
After 30 minutes or so my stomach started to feel like shit. I couldn't feel anything "solid" so I knew I just had to let it rip. Everyone was really noisy so I knew I was safe. But I knew I can never be too safe, so to make sure my ass cheeks weren't gonna clap as I let it rip, I had to make sure that those bad boys weren't in the way. So in my head standing up sounded like a good idea.
But I needed an excuse.
I started squinting at the PowerPoint and was trying to sell the fact that I couldn't see. So I slowly stood up with my feet shoulder width apart for optimal airflow. And just when I just started to fart, she calls me out so everyone falls silent and looks at me only to rip the stinkiest, nastiest longest, loudest fart I've made and heard in my life.
That happened two years ago and that professor is now my mentor. Whenever she introduces me to her colleagues she tells them that story and I die a little bit inside every time she talks about it.
Embarrassing story: I've entered countless giveaways like this and never won once.
Yup, same here.
That storyblocks part should be their official commercial!
Embarrassing story: Sneaky using my phone in class to write this comment while I know I'm not getting anything :)
So back in Highschool I was a varsity swimmer and yes that means Speedos were being worn, well anyways at practice one day we had the door open into the pool to the outside to cool off the pool room (MN winters) and I thought it would be funny to go dive into a snow pile outside the door... but also my coach thought it would be funny to shut the door and not let me back in. So there I am outside in the snow wearing a Speedo and now having to go back into a different entrance of the school, and you guessed it... had to walk mostly naked into a main entrance with tons of kids from my school making fun of me as I make my walk of shame back to the pool. It was cold that day 🥶
Embarassing story : I'm a French professional explorer. In 2019, I walked 3000 kilometers (1865 miles) across Canada during the dead winter. One day, as the temperature was really low, like -35°C (-31°F), I was singing while walking to warm up. I had a carabiner hooked on my backpack strap. suddenly, I heard a noise, like a wolf or a coyote scream. So I turned around really quickly, but mouth open and tongue out, as I was still singing. My tongue touched the carabiner, and because of the crazy cold, stayed stuck to it. So I was there, in the middle of nowhere, in a crazy cold, surrounded by wild animals, screaming only the vowels of insults, my head twisted in a painful angle on my right side.
That was pretty embarassing I must say. Weird memorie.
And least nobody else know about that embarrassing situation!
Until now.....
I have the Sirui 24mm, 50mm, and the 75mm is coming today. Plus I have a Sirui Saturn 35mm 1.6X anamorphic. They are awkward to use, but I love the Panoromics I get from them.
The following event happened around 2008-2009.
I was covering the state budget at the Capitol back when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Governor. You've seen the scenario before; all the media from the state was there, lined up against the wall, leaving very little space to move around. To give you perspective, Arnold was roughly 20-30 feet away from us at his desk.
It was around 9:15 p.m. and getting close to our deadline. The reporter who I was with tapped me on the shoulder and said we need to go back to our vehicle and put our story together. As I was leaving, my foot got caught on the bottom leg of my tripod, causing me to fall chest first onto a printer that was behind me.
Then came the tripod.
Then the camera.
The entire room became quiet.
All eyes on me.
Arnold's eyes on me.
No words could describe how embarrassed I was.
I fell in front of Arnold and stopped the signing of the state's budget from happening.
As my reporter was helping me get on my feet, I felt something new. Something that was not there before.
A cold breeze.
I look down and what do I see? My pants and underwear completely ripped from the seam of my crotch to the ankle. Revealing myself to the world.
I didn't really have time to comprehend what had happened. All I knew was I had to make my deadline. I ran back to the vehicle and put the story together, exposed, and out in the open.
I don't really understand how those series of events lead to there. The whole situation still baffles me.
Years later, I told this story to my boss.
“THAT WAS YOU?”.
He was one of the photojournalists next to me.
To this day, I'm not 100% sure if Arnold has seen my peen, but now I know that my boss has
That is the most epic ad section i've ever seen in youtube videos.
Embarrassing Story: My sister and I were trying to make our shadows look like they were fighting and I accidentally punched her in the face, right between her eyes. Later that day, I was explaining to a friend how it happened and I punched her again. In the same spot.
He killed that commercial tho 🤣 "how many lens flares you want?"
"ALL OF EM!"
Embarrassing Story: I was at Walmart with my sister, and idk where she went or how I lost her but I thought this other woman was my sister so I was following her around the store for 15 minutes before realizing it wasnt her when I poked her to get her attention and it was just not her😂💀
Does that qualify me for the lens?😂😂😂
I'd just leave the store after that
I spent a week editing (and learning to edit) a recording of my sister on the Viola for a competition, and then realized it was too late for her competition. She is still mad at me to this day.
Embarrassing story: when I was in 3rd grade I approached my crush, Jacky I believe her name is, to confess my genuine and really mature love for her. I tapped her shoulder and as I began giving my elevator pitch of love she began laughing. Apparently having my fly down and my blinding white undies showing was not the right approach. Her loss in my opinion. 🧐🥴
A couple weeks ago I was riding my Onewheel around my neighborhood. I'm still pretty new, but I THOUGHT I was pretty good on it. Was heading home, just got back to my street. This very nice woman at a stop sign smiled and waved for me to go ahead. I crossed the street, and I was just a couple houses down from mine so I was feeling like I could let my guard down. Leaned forward to accelerate more, while also hitting some loose rocks/gravel. Next thing I know I'm laying on the ground, scrapped up, thanking God I had my helmet on. Then I hear the woman yell from her car window "oh my God are you okay?" I am okay, other than some scrapes, and my pride. Wear a helmet kids
Can't help but notice that the term "lens flare" was mentioned 10 times in this video and the word "lens" was mentioned 34 times in this video.......
Duuuuude that motorcycle footage was EPIC!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
embarrassing story: I was at a client for a video and I was almost done ... but where I put the stabilizer it falls in front of everyone splitting the tripod and I "yeah it's normal to do this" actually I was crying inside
Peace, brother. Can we be friends?
@@tinghirmaroc3176 now i have PTSD when I see my gimbal... but I think that sooner or later I will be able to return to normal life and I can have friends 🥲😂
@@giuseppepesce99 Thanks for answeringhanks for answering.
I was working door at a tickets only new years party, and we were oversold. I had been politely turning people away, when my boss came out to help. We continued to let people know we were sold to capacity, and one couple came by who would have been really excited to come in to check out our bar for a single drink, but we politely turned them away too. Before they made it out of earshot, a young couple who was dressed to the nines for the party theme came up, but didn't have tickets. My boss let them know that since they looked so fabulous, we could certainly make an exception for them. My stomach dropped, and as I looked across the street, I immediately made eye contact with the woman we had just turned away. I didn't offer to work the door for parties like that in the future XD
Okay I’m definitely winning this giveaway, so when I was a kid I used to have pretty big stomach problems... One day I had a really bad stomachache in class, and I remember trying to let out a small fart, and it was one of those diarrhea farts, but it was also one of those that I couldn’t tell whether I had sharted or not.... so.... in the middle of class I go under my table and I’m hoping everyone is distracted, so I just reach into my ass to check whether I had done it..... and....I did. So in the middle of class! I have a shitty ass finger and everything is starting to smell.... so I just run out of the classroom... and I didn’t have to go back to school for the rest of the semester.
I was super tired one day and I fell asleep in the bus. I was awaken by the bus driver telling my that I was at the last stop. There's not a lot bus in my area so I had to walk back home, it took me an hour and a half in freezing canadian winter :')
Fun fact: everybody think‘s they are First until they refresh
Funner fact... Nobody cares..
lol
True
Embarrassing story: I called in sick to work to go to a free wine tasting meant for restaurateurs, I made a fake name and business cards at work and got in! Within 2 hours I was hammered and I bumped into someone... my boss. I was scared for a second until I realized he also didn’t work in the restauraunt/food industry, we noticed our nametags had BS names, BS job titles and BS businesses, so I said “cheers”, bumped glasses with him and we never spoke of that day again
Embarrassing story: The first time talking with Gene/Potato Jet on discord.
basically, I sounded really annoyed, but I just worded it horribly
I was 10 y/o when I participated in a story telling contest. I told a story about a monkey and a mousedeer, a pretty common story back in my country. The thing is that I was forced to join the contest, and at that time I can barely remember how the story I was telling goes, which resulted in me scratching my head for the whole time trying to remember the story. The crowd were all laughing at me cause they think I was imitating a monkey with the head-scratching, but I was just trying to remember the plot of the story I was telling. It was embarrassing for me cause I thought they were laughing at me for not remembering the story. I immediately ran away from the stage after telling a half-a$$ed story, which resulted in the crowd to laugh more. But then, when they announced the winner, I got the second place! Welp, at least I got a prize for that
My most embarrassing story went a little like this.
There was this new talent we had in our production company and I was hyped to shoot her takes.
As I was setting up her lights and set, the news that this new talent was a runway model and stuff circled around the office and pretty soon, people were flocking to the studio to see her.
Now the studio I work in is pretty small, factor in a few LED lights, some fill lights, all on huge tripods and half of the office inside the studio, you could say that I was getting a little bit annoyed.
When I was finishing up one final adjustment to the lights by carrying a fill light closer to the model, I almost tripped on one of the tripods of the lights because it was getting too crowded inside the studio.
In the most annoyed and irritated voice I ever spoke in, I shouted "ANY NON ESSENTIAL PERSON IN THE ROOM, PLEASE GET OUT"
And then everybody looked at me. Behind me was the executive assistant of the whole production company. She wasn't essential to the shoot. But she was way beyond the chain of command for me to relay orders to 😂
I’ll throw my hat in the ring with an embarrassing story: Back in school I was in choir and we had concerts every once and a while. One time I had a solo for a song and had to move from the top of the risers where all the members were standing and walk down to a mic at the front of the stage. Right as I was stepping off the risers I tripped, slammed into the ground with the loudest noise I could ever imagine and I’m fairly certain I broke something in my hand catching my fall but never fixed it lmao
I live on the Gulf Coast. There was a hurricane in the Gulf, and everyone was nervous... but I took a first date to the movies anyway. (I know, right?) Mid way through the movie, the electricity went out. It had nothing to do with the hurricane, but everyone's first thought went there anyway. The inside of a dark theater is really, REALLY dark. Like "can't-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-face" dark. The theater was packed, and no one could move because of the darkness (before cell phones). No one made a sound, and you could just feel this huge tension. Then the girl I was with blurted out, "Kiss you? I don't even KNOW you!"
The whole theater fell apart laughing, but I felt like everyone was laughing at me and I know I was bright red. It took a few minutes before I calmed down and laughed myself.
Loving actually being up front with dislikes, when done i a good way, it really adds value to the video, and to the person watching intending to buy.....
I would trust you to review gear for all my favorite hobbies!
Most Testers/youtubers are to afraid not to get the next product from that manufacture, but done your way, it's actually probably the best review Sirui could possibly get...
Btw. i did not know how desperately i need an anamorphic solution for my camera.... and Sirui is in my price range.. but now i know exactly what i'm getting into, and what limitations to expect... so i dont get frustrated from discovering it myself...
One time I was in the reading class of my schools most strict teacher and I sneezed so hard my chair flipped backwards onto the tile ground. And no, I still have no idea how I didn't bust my head open on the ground.
Embarrassing Story: one day in biology class in middle school we were learning about organisms. I was always really quiet in class. I never raised my hand because I was always second-guessing answers. The teacher asked a question to the class and I quickly answered “Orgasm!” and the class erupted into laughter. The sad part was that I didn’t even know what an orgasm was and didn’t understand why everyone laughed for years. At least I know a ton about orgasms now!!! lol. Love your channel.
Dylan was born for this stuff!
Oh and I’m impressed the words “Panasonic mirrorless” were uttered by Gene. 🤣
When I used to roadie, I loaded gear on stage for a local "Battle of the Bands." The house was packed and as I bent over to place a small amp, I split my cargo shorts, waist to crotch, in front of about 1200 people. Worse yet, I was going commando. The crowd erupted in cheers and laughter. I did the only thing I could do: I turned around, raised my arms triumphantly, throwing the goat horns, and ran offstage.
Dying laughing at the Storyblocks promo....Perfect!!!!!
Best story blocks sponsor segment ever
No other video or review talked about the issues that you pointed out so thanks Gene
Aw, now we see why you were filming your friends friends doing cool things before you got pushed under the goggles! Looks amazing with that lens.
First couple days of college, I didn’t know where things were at so I went looking around for a cafeteria when I was hungry. Finally found it, decided to grub out on it with a bit of food. Went to pay, TOOK 5 STEPS, tripped and dropped everything including my drink. Never went back to the cafeteria again
My embarrassing story:
On my first video shoot, we drove 3 hours to the location, and I idiot forgot my camera backpack. We had to drive back and shoot it the next day. On the next day I stupidly left the SD card in the computer. Luckily I had a mini SD card in my phone and I also had an adapter with me. Then we could film after all :D
I was the DOP/Camera guy for a college short film. We had to get this smooth clean shot of blood flowing down a plane. Everything went absolutely phenomenal on the first try except I didn't press the record button. It was quite embarrassing for me to look the rest of the team in the eye after that because I was the only senior on the team and the others were sophomores
We could never manage to get that smooth shot after that
I once participated in a street race, not realizing my opponent was a police patrol vehicle (fully marked). Sirens flashed as soon as we both hit 70mph (on a 55). When asked "why were you speeding?" I responded "I was just matching your speed, officer". I was let go with a warning, a lucky break, for I was 15 years young and driving alone with a mere drivers permit.
I was high jumping my senior year of high school. I went to jump over the bar and landed on my back. The video made it on overtime
My embarrassing story:
I worked as a janitor at an elementary school. During the summer we were cleaning the classrooms and I found a stack of meter sticks. Through a stroke of nerdy genius I decided to try a Darth Maul flip while holding two of the meter sticks together. When I attempted the flip, I lost all sense of where I was and slammed to the ground, breaking one of the meter sticks. This was right in front of my coworkers, but also at that very moment, my boss and the school principal had walked by the classroom and saw the whole thing. Luckily, I didn't lose my job, but it definitely was a strike to my pride.
My embarrassing story: I swam for the university swimming team. University swimming teams in the UK are notorious for "socials" at major competitions. We went to a national students competition and went out for "a drink". At 8 am the next day, I had my first event's qualifying round. I was so hung over that I turned green. The starter even called everyone off the starting blocks to ask me if I was all right. It was the slowest I have ever done that distance and needed help getting out at the end. The on site announcer made the assembled audience slow clap me at the finish.
My embarrassing story: Many years ago, I was attending a local comic con with my friend. We were having a great day. I was carrying his camera in my bag. After sitting down for a tasty lunch, we continued to explore the convention... until about fifteen minutes later, my friend asked for his camera back. It was in this instant I realised I no longer had the bag. I sprinted back to where we had lunch.... and I was SO LUCKY that a very kind lady had picked up my bag for me, keeping it safe. I felt like such a fool. That could have been a lot worse.
Also I own a Sony a6400 E-Mount Camera. 👍
