God it's the small things that make me love this channel. Dropping the camera into frame like that is so awesome. Just a fun little quirk that makes it 10xbetter. So fun.
They used the Arri Alexa Imax, Red Dragon VV and Red Weapon Helium S35 alltogether being worth around $150000. Not sure a $94 camera can compete lol. Even with good color grading it looks terrible.
A nice proof that a camera is not what matters the most on a film set. It's the vision. It's the skillset of filmmaking that makes your film outstanding. Bravo. Very inspiring.
no ur wrong , Drz used a different camera called TomatoFS200 which uses low light instabilty and lower frame rate with higher balance reduction and full blown aperture
Very cinematic. Better than your RED. I think this setup will be used in Hollywood. You are also an excellent stunt man. That camera is collectable and highly desirable - if you include the whole setup - especially the pot and bricks. Amazing footage for less than a hundred bucks.
Okay, so I’m not usually in the business of just going on UA-cam to randomly comment on something/channel that I’m not even following, but I literally couldn’t hold my peace. So, please allow me to say three things: 1) That last edited motorcycle short clip is badass. Period. 2) Smiles and laughter are two precious gifts that I never take for granted, and your candid, hilarious attitude gave me many of those for the last 11 minutes, so I wholeheartedly thank you. 3) Lastly, thanks for proving beyond ANY doubt that it’s not the gear, but rather the person holding the gear. Knowledge and experience are things you can’t simply put a price on, so to be able to somehow, magically squeeze THAT footage from a setup that’s worth less than $150? Yeah, I rest my case. I don’t know when was the last time you’ve heard this, but let me just tell you: you’re awesome. Ze end!
This is exactly the sort of content I needed. I just started at videomaking and I was afraid I wouldn't manage to make cool stuff without all of those expensive accessories. But in the end of the day it really is skill that matter.
I had this camera 10 years ago. Makes you think and come up with solutions like flowerpot stabilizer. Sometimes more budget is inversely proportional to creativity.
Thats crazy. I'm a writer but converted to a videographer because simply got tired of being help back. This shows me that skill can save you A LOT of money
If you haven’t already given it to someone, Id love the Removu for revamping and restarting my UA-cam series on cool organizations and places in San Diego! I also have at least 2 Other series in the pipeline ready to be produced, but have been unable to make them due to a lack of funds. I come from a low income household and am a self-taught film student, and have had to put everything on hold due to financial difficulties. A Removu would allow me to get back into production and start these shows, along with featuring all the awesome and amazing things I love so much about the city I grew up in!
I kinda like that look. It feels nostalgic. Nowadays everything is so about 4k, ultra definition. Yeah. But sonetimes it feels souless. All this technologies and our movies are kinda in their majorities all pure ideology. They lack stories, life, realism, imagination. Dont get me wrong. I like good images. I am not really making a critique in here, just observing something
GREAT POINTS!!! Agreed, Gene's result looks very nostalgic, and I believe it would totally hold up as a professional commercial look if it were used, with no one watching it ever assuming that it was done with a cheapo camera, for the viewers would assume that it was an intentional nostalgic look. 😅
True BUT he also used an expensive computer with premium software, and that image stabilization and color grading really played a huge role in the motorcycle stuff looking like a real commercial. So it’s not just the camera but other things were needed to compensate.
Try getting one of those $30 tiny drones with cameras on them (Cheerson cx10c is decent) and make a cinematic video with them, I fly phantoms so I’m curious about what you could do.
Damn Gene amount of work you're investing in these videos is huge, it was a very funny and entertaining video, hope you're not going to be demonetized because of the pot ful of breaks
I honestly think the video turned out pretty good in the end with all of the sound scores and with all of the things you did to make it come out right it may have been a lot of work but any true filmmaker knows it takes a lot to accomplish satisfaction and perfection
Im late to this party but it was a great exercise in getting the best out of your equipment whatever budget - the length and depth you went to with locations made this video epic!
Now i just totally fell in love with this guy... While everyone makes it look like you're trash if you don't shoot in 4k, you've just shown us how to make lemonades from lemons. Great video and yes i had to just subscribe👏👏👏👏
Back has been lowered so you can get your wheelies past 12 o'clock I bet !!! HEY OHHHHH. Sadly my wheelies cant pass 11. ( still working on it though )
Hahaha man you are so good, to me it felt like you're just trying to show off. Definitely Great shots. It is videos like these that keeps me going. Awesome dude.
You definitely proved that ideas, combined with skill, can produce decent video. Sure, a better camera would have made it a bit easier for you and provided higher quality. But...for anyone who can't afford a ton of gear it's still possible to get started at relatively low cost.
“I’m trying to keep it stable but I drink way too much coffee and I think I have ADHD” “You think Matti Haapoja is a better UA-camr than me?!” This guy is gold
Its never about the camera its the person and is imagination and creativity that makes video and photos. A professional videographer traveled from coast to coast and used the video camera from his smart phone to record the trip. After running the video through his fav editing software the results were amazing. All from a smart phone that is 4 years old.
This is brilliant. I actually bought £13 action camera from Amazon and will try do do some vlogging and make it as cinematic as possible. You gave me some inspiration. Love it 😌
I just bought a T2i with a 55-250 lens, spare battery, and 64GB card for $187.49. Gonna throw magic lantern on it. You don't need the latest and greatest to still get a great camera. And since I didn't pay that much for it, I won't be afraid to bring it with me on more trips than a $2000 camera. Loved the video!
Liked the effort he put into making this camera a cinematic one. But let's not forget that is a Point and shoot camera so manual controls are no needed. Also this camera had a CCD sensor and that made that stripes when shooting the light. It is typical for this sensor to have that issue at video.
I can make an Arri Alexa look like a 94 bucks camera tho
