      What a great channel from Simon Wilson.
      I've not started my travels YET !!
      But to see your POV (point of view) experience....I get a real experience of what I shall experience as a singleton.
      Sometimes putting me off sometimes encouraging me to try myself !!
      but warts and all is like having a friend who tells it like it is...exactly as I want ;-)
      Respect Mr Wilson.

      @jeremylevy7801 5 років тому +35

      I edit professionally as well. I think the color is primarily just the Canon camera's natural color science. That being said, the quality of the edit, the ridiculously quick turn around, and general style is really impressive. Simon must roll on pretty much everything so just sifting through footage alone must take hours. Although it helps he freshly remembers everything that's relevant to the edit.
      As someone who works in production, it'd be great if Simon could shoot on a camera with 4K raw with 15 stops of dynamic range and have a crazy cinema setup. But that's both overkill for UA-cam and impossible to feasibly execute for vlog style content.
      Come to New York again, Simon! I'll film something cool for you on a cinema camera hahaha.

    • @jordylyons4648
      @jordylyons4648 5 років тому +7

      Jeremy Levy Its great to find a like minded individual, I’ve always been on the fence with canon camera’s the amount of damaged ones our business has with broken audio jacks. I felt it was the colour curves with Final Cut Pro, people do not understand the amount of time it takes to produce a piece of content like this. When we produce a series of feature film we have 4/5 months hand on work plus consulting in principal photography.
      I’m relatively new this channel but this guy is next level in my opinion.

    • @jeremylevy7801
      @jeremylevy7801 5 років тому +8

      @@jordylyons4648 Likewise, allows us to appreciate Simon's work on a technical/creative level a bit more. I personally hate Canon cameras for video, they're good for still photography or vlog style of course, but not for any major production IMO. Unless you're using a C200 or C300 or something, but their DSLR lineup isn't great.
      But yeah, it takes an insane amount of time. Luckily I'm sure Simon is smart about it and has his go to library of assets so he doesn't have to re-create things all the time. Just quickly JKL through the footage and cut where necessary. Even then though the polish is damn good for how little time he has to finish each video.
      I don't work on feature length content often, but just knowing how even small videos for corporate clients takes ages to finish I know what you're talking about.

      Jeremy Levy Just tired of muppets thinking these are threw together in 5 minutes, there’s 3 days work there i know I’m a editing geek but I’m super impressed with the content on this channel, I know title cards can be pre-produced but you’re bang on trying to pace a story when you’ve got hours of footage to sift through.

    They did have individual toboggans as well. I went on it when I went to the wall myself and it was super cool
