This was great, I really have no idea about lenses and how they influence what is shot. Fun to hear all the detail, learn about Joey's preferences and see examples!
Solid job Joey. I'd love to see more videos of you going over more of your arsenal you've acquired over the years. I want to see more of how you've evolved as a camera operator and what gadgets you've grown fondness to over the years that's allowed you to learn and grow. Always really interesting to see that kind of perspective from different film makers, because it's always unique. Cheer mate!
Kicking around ideas with this, but will most likely be in a long form conversational format with fellow producer Josh, and hopefully rope in some other guest creators in the future who have a long history of video creation. Still figuring it out!
Yes! This is the content I'm so excited about on this channel. As a budding photographer (mostly sports photography, and some limited portraiture) I'm happy to see elements of this here. Especially hearing reference to the Canon R5 which I shoot on.
Great video. I am very excited to see how the channel goes how all the exciting videos you all make not suited for the main channel turn out. I been wanting a channel like this for awhile and all us tested fans now how all this awesomeness as well.
Thanks for sharing this Joey. Did you use these to help shoot the Half Life 2 doc from Secret Tape? That doc in particular was a real step up for the Noclip gang, and they set a pretty high bar to begin with. I've been experimenting with using my modern Zeiss ZE lenses on a Canon A2E to shoot Kodak 100D (bulk rolled Ektachrome), and the look is wild, especially when shooting wide open. I've gotten so use to shooting film in a particular way over the years, so its inspiring to use this equipment not exactly as intended to get unique results. Great work all around my friend!
I've been dying to try some ektachrome! I didn't use these for the Half Life 2 doc. We had Canon C300's on the first one, and Canon C70 on the Half Life 2 doc. I mainly used zooms (one medium range at 2.8 and another at 4 both usually wide open) for the versatility
Hi Joey, I often notice probably when Adam is using his phone, that there is no intelligence when it comes to what to focus on. I don't know much about high end phone video, but I'd have thought these days that some basic AI would be able to figure out what to focus on? The number of times Adam tries holding something up to the camera or part of him gets in the way and its focus just goes the wrong way is something I notice happening a lot. Love the idea and feel of this new channel 👍
From what i understand, the iphone prioritizes focusing on human faces, and not so much objects, so i can definitely understand how it would fight what adam's trying to do. The microphone also prioritizes the human voice frequency, which usually means a lot more treble than you normally would have, so i find myself in the EQ quite a bit, strengthening up the audio.
I haven't used them before, but they definitely seem like they are part of this current wave of high quality consumer/prosumer cinema lenses that are coming out of china. These look nice for sure. In the past I've used some chinese made lenses that look really nice, but may yellow over time, or the t-stops throughout the set may not be super consistent. But the prices are usually killer, and worth it in most cases. Maybe at some point i'll try and do a rundown of like 5 or 6 of the top chinese made sets.
Super excited to see what is to come on this channel! I am here for Joey and his camera chats as well as his deep dives on pizza.

That was fast !
I wish I could test these out

The canon r5 and r5c are very powerful cameras! (we shot the last half of Tested VR on them).
Always a fan of Joey content.
Really excited to see what additional film photography content you put out.
I definitely have more plans there!

COOKE-ING for you all, he said
This is the dopeness
Opinions on Simera-C lenses?

I think you could really help us newbies understand how to make good videos without spending a fortune
We're kicking around ideas about this at the moment. Hopefully can come up with some comprehensive "maker video creators pamphlet guide"
Stunning, but oof the price is up there.
Bokeh just makes all the tested videos look out of focus.
First!
