Jes (Sam’s partner) and I always had the idea to do a video on Sam and his love of surfing. A few months ago we visited them for the weekend and I followed Sam around for a couple of days.
This was my first time shooting surf as a subject and I loved it. Super happy with the visuals I got to capture and it was awesome to learn a bit more about someone we have known for 10 years.
Shot on the BMPCC6K, in UHD Prores 422 (2.8k 120 fps for some shots).

This is a short documentary about our good friend Sam and his relationship with surfing. This was my first time shooting surf as a subject and I loved it.
Do you guys surf ? And which one is your favourite shot? :)
Cheers,
Flo
This short doc is a great little piece of cinematography. It flows so well and the shots are a 10.
This was mesmerizing! As a surfer myself, who struggles to balance "life" with the desire to be able to surf good waves, the end hit me like a ton of bricks. It's true. You can't buy waves...
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! Really glad this resonated with you.
Inspiring video. I discovered surfing a couple years ago (34 years old now) and I can’t get enough. I drive 5 hours round trip every weekend to surf and continue to battle with the idea of selling the house and making the move to somewhere closer to the ocean.
I have lots of other hobbies (golf, ski, music, tennis, soccer, basketball, etc), but nothing is quite like surfing, and it’s where my heart is.
Thank you for making this and giving some of us hope that it is possible to chase your dreams.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch it and share your story :)
I also have a lot of hobbies but for some reason I don't feel built for surfing haha!
Incredible visuals and storytelling! You're made for these types of documentaries. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks so much for the nice feedback, means a lot :) !! Thank you for watching.
Awe man, the feels as a SoCal native I love this.. as a filmmaker I am blown away. So good...
Thanks so much :) !!
This is a masterpiece!! Much love from Spain mate!
Thanks a lot :) !!
From Germany too🤙
Ahh yes probably my favourite thing you have shot to date man! Bloody beautiful. I guess I am a little biased though as I am also a surfer :). The shots inside the car were stunning especially the ones with the rainy windows and driving at sunset/sunrise. Loved that higher up shot of Sam riding that right hander in the morning light too...stuff of dreams. I also agree and relate to the shark sentiment but hey if you play the game you gotta be willing to pay the price! Bravo!
Thank so much for the feedback man, means a lot coming from you !! Would have been fun to shoot something like this together :). The car shots are also my favourites.
I love it! So happy we could make it happen :). Congrats cutie xx
Me too !! Really happy with it :). We had such a good time that weekend xx
Great Job, looks amazing!
Thanks so much !!
This was amazing. Very nice looking footage and interesting subject 👌
Thanks very much for this positive feedback :) !!
Good story, beautiful filming. The colors are next level on this one! Banging scenery doesn't hurt.
Thank you so much, we got lucky with the weather that morning too :) !!
I thoroughly enjoyed this! You did an amazing job capturing not only your story but millions of others who love surfing and why we do it! “If I was offered a great job opportunity but they said you can never surf I just wouldn’t take it” love it!
Thanks a lot, glad you’ve enjoyed it :) !!
I began to watch your film with the intent of learning how you framed and used your lighting, etc. I quickly forgot why I was watching and was now a part of the film. This my friend is the mark of a great film maker. This was Excellent! Blessings ♥️
Thank you so much man, means a lot !!
Amazing shots!!! You really nail those handheld shots with that minimal pocket 6k setup!! Inspires me to really practice with that!!
Thanks a lot !! I ran around so much so minimal setup was a must :).
This is unreal! Glad to see this on my timeline. Been wanting to make this kind of vids as well! 💪👏
Thanks a lot !! They’re fun to shoot for sure :).
Great job on this documentary! All the way around from storyline, shots, music, effects and editing. Wonderful job.
Thanks very much, glad you like it :) !!
just how sam has his waves, you have your camera. Never stop doing what you love because this work is absolutely fantastic. everything from color grading to editing and music was spot on. i'm inspired to do a documentary with one of my pals now haha. cheers!
So glad to hear man, thanks so much !! :)
You've mastered the art of documentary filmmaking and the ability to tell someones story from a genuinely personal point of view. This one was amazing...and I love the truck!
Thanks so much my man !! This was a fun one :). Haha me too, coolest truck ever seriously !!
the shots looked amazing--such rich colors of surf, sun, and early morning light! thanks for sharing this story.
Thanks for watching !!
Loved it man. Very personal and intimate, exactly how a good docu should be. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot for the nice feedback, means a lot :) !!
Dude this is so good! well done ! Man that light was beautiful. The interior truck shots too !
Thanks a lot mate, really happy with those truck shots too haha :) !!
Great documentary & superb production..
Thank you so much !! :)
Great work!
I really enjoyed the truck driving down to the beach. So much feel in that shot!
Thanks so much !!
Fantastic film! Thank you for creating this great peace of art and sharing his beautiful message with us. 🤙
Thank you so much for watching !! Glad you enjoyed it :)
"What are you doing to do? You can't buy waves"
Kelly Slater: "Hold my organic kombucha"
Hahaha very true !!
youre killing it
Thanks so much !!
love this so much especially the part where he says you cant buy the waves!!
Glad you do, thank you!!
Loved it! 10/10
I honestly I loved the shot of him getting in the truck early morning. I loved that shot because I could see what you were you doing there with the single street lamp over his head and having the frame of mind that early in the morning to get the shot is something I'm trying to get better at myself. So often when I get home to the edit there are too many shots I wished I had thought to get.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch it and for the positive feedback!
Documentary shoots are always tricky and I also find myself wishing I had thought of different shots each time!
So good mate, such a great character loved the story! BMPCC 6K really makes such beautiful images good work!
Thank you so much mate, so keen to shoot together :) !!
Beautiful work and massively inspiring from both Sam and yourself! 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for the positive feedback, means a lot :) !!
Absolutely loved every second of this. A masterpiece. Beautifully told story. Keep it up!
Thanks so much for the kind words :) !!
This just really motivated me both as a beginner surfer 🏄🏾♂️ and cinematographer. I live in Cape Canaveral Florida. I’m going to use this as a template. Thank you for your inspiration because I can totally relate to everything Sam said. This is amazing!!!!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback, really means a lot! By the way I always wanted to visit the rocket launch sites where you are :)
@@OfTwoLands I can just take a three minute walk from the house to the beach and I can see NASA from the beach. I’m about 1.9 miles away from Port Canaveral.
what a line "What am I gunna do with the money? You cant buy waves." Love it
Haha, Sam's a legend !!
@@OfTwoLands Id watch any surf vids/content you make in the future that was awesome. That beach looks like paradise, maybe minus the sharks
Poverty does not mean Waves either
Wow, seen a lot of surf doco's you nailed it. And Sam's a legend
Thanks so much :). And yes, he definitely is !!
Amazing visuals and story ! Great work and inspirational
Thank you so much !!
Man i have subscribed you and its pleasure to get notifications from this awesome channel ❤.
Thank you so much!!
incredibly beautiful cinematography!
Thank you ☺️
What a great documentary, cheers!
I'll keep the quote in mind for sure 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you !!
Amazing vibes man!...tnx 4 sharing🤙
Thanks for watching :) !!
Awesome doco
I'm 31 looking to start surfing better late than never
Thanks !! I wish I could surf haha, good luck :)
Great work as always Florent!
Thank you !!
So dang good! Amazing guys. ❤️
Thanks guys :) !!
Nicely done! As a surfer and a doc maker I really enjoyed it.
So glad you did !! Thanks a lot :)
You got skills! Respect buddy! 🤙
He does !!
Absolutely beautiful peice, really enjoyed thanks for sharing.
So glad you did, thanks for watching !!
Your color is just always so amazing as is the storytelling.
Thanks very much !!
You got some nice shots man! The grades really nice too bro
Thanks man 👊, really happy with this one :) !!
Great documentary and beautiful visuals.
Thank you !!
If you sold your LUTS for bmpcc 4k,6k cameras, I would buy them in a heartbeat.
Your color grading is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.
Haha thanks !! I still use Filmconvert :).
Great Doco just started filming with the BMPCC6K myself great footage.
Thanks so much !! How are you enjoying the cam ?
@@OfTwoLands Loving it very easy to use but now need to purchase a calibrated monitor to edit clips for true colours. As I'm only using a 4K TV as a monitor.
Love this so much !! So beautiful
Me too, had such a fun time shooting it :) !!
Cool video man!
Thanks mate!! How are you feeling ?
Great docy guys! Loved it, only would just say as a surfer that some longer continous shots of some of the waves would add to it. Love seeing a wave from paddle in to kick out.
Also extended version with snowboarding in?! Would love that
great work, love the way you told the story.
Thank you :) !!
Excellent
Thank you!!
Beautiful. On a huge binge thank God for your channel, youtube needs more like these
Thanks mate, appreciate it !!
Superb short documentary
Thank you very much !!
I also saw your behind the scenes video. Very well made .
Thanks very much :) !!
good stuff. surfing by yourself is incomparable. 50 plus years surfing, every surf is a new experience.
Thanks!! Have a good one mate!
This is incredible man as always! You are truly getting better with every film. Did you shoot this in 30p?
Thanks so much !! I shot in 25, 50 and 120 :).
another excellent work, congrats!
Thank you :) !!
Great storyteller bro
Thanks so much !!
Overall great! Some really, really fantastic shots! I didn't notice any drone footage - was that a specific decision? Were you editing this back in the Alps? Was that weird spending hours looking at footage of the ocean in Australia when you're so far away and in such a different environment?
Thanks man !! I wanted to drone as well but we only had 1.5 days and I was shooting by myself so wasn’t possible to do everything.
And yeah actually it was strange but good in a way. Same thing when I was editing Antarctica back in Sydney :).
What a great circle of friends
Haha pretty cool people :) !!
@@OfTwoLands beautiful execution of mood and character in this doc! You were able to capture his warm, clear, vibrant soul and shared the vicarious joy of having your own perfect break to ride.
It’s funny, I look incredibly similar to Sam and share his lifelong love of surf and his devoted, gentle nature- so I’m particularly grateful for your work.
Awesome Doc mate! 👍
Thank you !! ☺️
loved it!
Thank you :) !!
Wauw i love this man! This is a big inspiration. ✨ Is this shot in prores?
Thanks a lot !! Yes, in 422 :)
nice movie. the color grading is pretty nice
Thank you!
@@OfTwoLands what is the software you've used ?
Hey man I love your work, I want to do videos like this, you really inspire me. Do you have a blog or something where I can learn about this type of filmmaking? :( maybe a book that you recommend? Saludos desde México!
Hey, thanks so much !! I have a few videos that would help and also did a cinematography breakdown of this documentary. Plus, I am also working on a doco course :).
I just bought a few surf sessions at the wave centre
Looks very cool !
Thanks !!
Amazing ❤
Thank you !!
Surfings been a big part of my life. Great work bud. What did you shoot 1st? Interview or B-Roll?
Thanks man !! Shot all B Roll first and interview first which I rarely do.
Great work !
Thanks !!
Love it
Thank you !!
What is the outro song? So good
It is Arcade by Generation Lost on Artlist :)
If you're claustrophobic, how do you get barreled ?
Wonderful told and shot documentary! 👌 Incredible colours! Ever considered mastering a version in PQ HDR10(+) for YT and Vimeo? As I have a pro grading suite at hand, I’d be happy to help. 🙃 just drop me a line.
Awesome.
Thank you !!
Hi love you work. I have been contemplating getting the pocket 6k or waiting for gh6 even though they are two different cameras the image quality out of the pocket 6k is amazing. just wanted your thoughts on if it would work for travel videos and food videos thanks.
Thanks very much !! I think both would work, if it is for travel then I would recommend the bmpcc4k instead, slightly smaller/lighter and much cheaper with the same amazing image quality. If all you want to do is video then the bmpccs for sure, but if you need photos too and weather sealing during your travels then the GH might be a better choice :).
Beautiful, amazing, inspirational, can’t wait to get wet.
Haha thanks :) !!
Just wondering where along the east coast Sam lives?
About 3hrs north of Sydney, we prefer not to disclose the exact location :)
@@OfTwoLands thank you. Yeah that's very understandable. We're currently 2.5 hours north of Sydney
Cool video
Thanks !!
Nice 💪
Thank you!
What computer specs did you edit 6k in?
This was shot in uhd :).
nice.
Thanks !!
lens?
Check the description
Great documentary, still way too much noise in that BMPCC 6K image.. the sand looked all pink :/ But the framing and so on was really good :)
Thanks !! I think that for iso 4000-5000 the bmpcc6k did really well. And the sand was pink haha, the light was crazy.
@@OfTwoLands Okay, I can tell the light was leaning that way, but I could also tell that the noise caused some of the pink color there.. People are ofc different in what they like, but personally I don't think I would have pushed the ISO that far.
Wsl would like to tell you otherwise
You actually can buy waves. More money equates to more surf trips.
Trust me when I say this, you're an absolute genius when it comes to story telling, cinematography, color grading, sound design, you know I could just go on and on. I just wanted to tell you that I am so soo grateful to have landed on your channel last month, I'm 22 and I really wanted to get into film making but I didn't know how to get started or even whom to look upto, someone who could guide me and show me the different aspects of this art form, but now I can proudly say that I've been learning from one of the finest! For many like me you are an inspiration, I know there are thousands of creators here on UA-cam, but there's something about you that makes you stand out, your videos always feel real and authentic, I've binged watched most of your videos and learnt a ton of things from you.
I know this comment could feel like it's far fetched, but trust me it's not,
I just wanted to speak my heart out!
And tbh it was worth it!
Thankyou so much for being you. You're a gem 💎
Keep creating! More power to you!
Much love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you so much for the kind words, glad I could help somehow. Thanks a lot for the support :) !!
@@OfTwoLands Eagerly waiting for you next upload, it is always a treat
Beyond all the technical mastery (which is admittedly important), these films work because the filmmaker is coming from a place of sincerity and honesty. There's so much "look at me" stuff on YT, stuff that neither tells a story nor has much of a purpose at all. It's refreshing to see content created out of passion and curiosity.
Love the relaxed feel and the balance and transitions between interview and b roll 👍
Thank you, glad you do :) !!
Don’t ever stop making videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I won't, promise haha !! Thanks :)
Hola...podrías hacer el vídeo con audio en español? Gracias saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺
You can buy a wave machine 💗
Haha very true!
muy vhulo me gusta!!!
Absolutely beautiful footage!
Thanks a lot, glad you like it :) !!
Awesome doc! As a filmmaker and surfer, this doc hits home for me. Great work.
Thanks man !! Surfing is so foreign to me so it was interesting to shoot a doco on it :).
I’m liking this documentaries series. Awesome
Thank you :) !!
That's just amazing. Been looking specifically for high quality BMPCC footage, starting off with Meike lenses and I'm not disappointed. Quite the contrary. If I ever get to film making (for now just passively inhaling knowledge) I'll be sure to reach out to you for some tips! Great job! :)
Thanks so much for the nice feedback !! And yes, feel free to reach out anytime :).
