    In my humble opinion, this is one of your best silent hiking videos. Wonderful use of the medium for self-expression. I hope you continue to work with Artlist. They should be pleased. What a beautifully peaceful form of entertainment. Well done dude.

      @@kraigadams Hey Kraig! Yeah, it would be nice to meet you. I'm from California. Next year(2024) I plan to do a fair amount of hiking in the Pacific Northwest and California. Maybe we can hike a section of trail in that part of the world sometime. Take care.

    Huge difference in image quality. You really can tell how much better this looks especially at your level of film making. Thank you for all the detail shots, natural falloff and clean shadows with no noise. Stunning work Kraig.

      So glad he shot this on the Sony. I know he wants to do iPhone only because it’s just easier and much lighter, but the quality isn’t even in the same ballpark. Makes a big difference shooting on an actual camera.

    The image quality of the Sony camera is definitely worth it. You have a keen sense for beauty and what you are recording is worth being preserved in the best quality, especially since most of us won't ever go to these wonderful places.

    Kraig, I am really glad that you switched back to your previous style videos. I understand that it is easier to just carry an iphone while hiking instead of the heavy mirrorless camera and tripod but the video produced by the Sony camera is superior to that of the iphone and you have an exceptional ability to produce evocative, lonely scenes in nature accompanied by excellent music choices. This is what makes your videos unique.

    Stunning video! One of my favorites of yours lately. I thought the pacing was especially on point. Characteristically meditative and relaxing, while also featuring a wide variety of emotional beats and cuts to different kinds of subjects; watched the entire video in one go and never for a moment wanted to alt-tab (which, unfortunately, has become a bad habit of mine as of late). Thanks for sharing!

    Glad you're not doing phone for the hiking videos. I like them better for vlog. The hiking videos are so much about the visuals, that's where i see the difference.
    I know you wrestle with that topic.
    But that's it.
    Hiking = Visuals is king (Gotta get the sony)
    Vlogs = story is king (iPhone would still work!)

I personally would like to see you do another hike with the iPhone. I am thinking of doing that too as it is a matter of weight reduction when hiking and the iPhone 14 Pro seems to be a useful tool for also filming. Look forward to the Scotland video.

  • @NonalignedVideos
    @NonalignedVideos Рік тому +2

    I'm split about the Sony A7SIII vs iPhone thing. You know so much about running your activities as a business. For me what differentiates you from other creators is a) your talent and craft as a filmmaker and b) your honesty. I'm not a gamer and I ain't got time for the super long-form stuff you do, though I'll play a Q&A post when I'm doing some mindless work. I'm here mostly for the hiking and the filmmaking.
    Your shots show so much craft and good judgement and your films just... look better than most other people's stuff. You're kind of like Phillip Bloom in that way (his channels are WAY different than yours) but his image quality just dominates like yours does. IMHO your iPhone footage shows all of your judgement and experience ("craft") but the image quality is JUST a bit off compared to your drone stuff. BTW, your drone cinematography is just the best. Along with everything else your composition sense with a drone is just... MWAH (chef's kiss). The secret sauce is... talent and experience, maybe. Anyway--balancing image quality vs. complexity and pack weight is a conundrum. I've got a trek coming up and I keep looking at my mirrorless thinking "do I REALLY need this?"
