I enjoy ceno0 because of the meme potential of his high-effort shitposts, but also because he plays with the letterboxing like a fucking fiddle. Things overlap it, it tilts at odd angles, and the characters even manipulate the letterboxing and use it as a weapon.

Broo why do u only have 6k subs now☹ you should have 10x the amount

That's helpful that you put the subjects and timestamps in your description. Also I'm kind of wondering about your van and if it's set up for hauling gear.

I hate the black bars. I feel that it makes the screen look smaller

All the way from the Caribbean here. What are your thought on the Canon C70? Was thinking of purchasing the C70 and the DZOfilm zoom lenses. Upgrading from the GH5.

Always seen them but never thought to ask why they’re used. I hope everyone is having a safe and good day! 😃💙 #NotificationSquad
