Beginner vs Pro | GoPro FILMMAKING Challenge - VLOG 03

[@thisishowwebingham]

Abe could shoot on a potato and turn it into a cinematic masterpiece. Surprisingly not surprised at how epic BOTH videos turned out!

[@stephentylerworkman]

I can’t believe Abe’s vid was shot with a hero one. Blows my mind, I now see just how much power there is in the skill of post editing. Dude, I have so much mad respect for you Abe. This inspires me to do better with my hero 9. Zadia that was a dope vid and incredible quality being your 1st edit. Having said that, Abe won.

[@courtneydaniel3204]

not only post, but capturing and the angles and perspective the "lens" is in.

[@ChrisRogers]

This was epic! Some real OG vibes with your edit and the frustrations of changing modes on the H1 had me 🤣🤣

[@christiaanvrey]

Chris you can do something similar bru

[@matsandersenpm]

The quality of Abe's Hero HD video looks better than my hero 7 videos before KZbin compression, hooow🤯

[@T4nkcommander]

You can always faux upscale your videos to trick KZbin into using a higher bit rate. Works great.

[@myokom]

Export at 60fps for higher bitrate

[@AuthenTech]

Impressive shots and edit on that HD Hero! 👏 👏

[@abekislevitz]

Thanks Ben! It was a fun throwback to work with the footage - also super fast to edit with 🤯 no HEVC 4K was nice.

[@HouseAndLotFinderph]

hi! can u both great person notice or heartmycomment? im a fan!

[@KellersInColorado]

Resolution was honestly the main difference between the two for me, but absolutely shocked at how well the original footage looked. Well done to both of you, they were both amazing!

[@HansJelles]

My humble conclusion: technic is not the issue but making an interesting story! You both did that great.

[@shaneadventures677]

Hi Abe, just wanted to let you know that your channel has been my go-to for gopro edit tips since your USC days, it is amazing to see how far you and Gopro have come, please keep doing what you are doing!

[@ElDukeAy]

Such a fun and cute video to watch. Thanks so much for sharing with us Abe, looking forward to the next one!

[@GatewoodBrown]

Abe once again proving he is the GoPro whisperer. Wonderful job by Zadia too!

[@paulwindmill4372]

Dear Abe Thank you for taking up the issue, it is good to know that someone at GoPro is listening and trying to encourage improvement in the app. Paul

[@drftkng.]

Those were both amazing edits. Zadia's edit was spectacular for a first time, outstanding edit and filming. I approach music selection on Musicbed the same way, have an idea and just start listening to see what sparks inspiration. Abe, the quality out of the HD Hero was impressive. Most of the shots were quite impressive and you really made the weaknesses into visual strengths.

[@VincentForDesign]

I especially love the backlight-overexposed part that make the person looks like an angel. Most epic scene in my opinion. 14:04

[@bensaunders73]

Both edits were awesome! Cannot believe how well Zadia did for her first edit, but the quality you got out of the original Hero was insane! Great work and very inspiring!

[@mcdonough5150]

Not to ride the fence, but both impressive videos for different reasons. Zadia’s shows what a novice can do with a little direction; great video for first time effort. Abe’s experience came through with the in-camera transitions and rapid tempo going from clip to clip. It really shows short, quick shots are more exciting. Both captured the spirit of your trip.

[@wdhale14094]

Zadia had a great edit for her first time. Definitely has a future in it. Abe... what can I say... Its a Kislevitz classic awesomeness. You two rocked it.

[@XynTe]

Holy Moly, got goosebumps at 14:06 Insane edits, both of them!

[@slapshotjack9806]

Honestly I gotta say while the hero 1 doesn’t have the best quality on the market today you can still get some amazing landscape shots like no other especially with that vintage look it’s absolutely stellar

[@gregoryowain2073]

Wow you did an amazing job with the H1. Amazed with the quality, shows what is possible with good post processing. Well done to Zadia and her first video too!

[@AmeliaHeldt]

Zadia: you SMASHED it!! Abe: I mean I shouldn’t be surprised but you could make footage from a cardboard box look awesome. It definitely shows how important story, good editing, and thinking about your shots is more important than the gear itself

[@racheltham]

It was really cool to see how you each filmed your videos - the quality and editing for the hero 1 was so impressive! Both the videos turned out great!

[@fisherman85]

So cool! Abe, your experience and skills are epic! Zadia, congrats, wow!

[@branderson9420]

Transition at 14:06 wassssss dooooopppe. Angles are such a nice way to add variety and excitement to the video !!!!! Both did awesome. I mean I’d like to be able to have the skill to make not so good footage great but at the same time I wouldn’t wanna have to do it all the time. Lol

[@jhardy33]

Both were great but Abe’s production values are off the chart. The bottom line though, how awesome is it that the average person has access to a camera with this much technology and capability. Great video!

[@dkipu266]

She won. :-) and I am surprised you were able to get such good quality, views and smooth video out of the HD Hero. I think I preferred her video as the clips ran longer between transitions. Sometimes quick transitions in an action videos can be visually jarring as there is already so much for your eyes to track.

[@KrzysztofPersona]

Dope as always Abe! Pretty impressed with Zadia’s editing feeling. You should hire her! 😁 That’s potential!

[@abekislevitz]

Hahah yeah she doesn’t know what she just got herself into 😈

[@KrzysztofPersona]

@@abekislevitz hahahah love that!

[@Justsachin]

@@abekislevitz please tell that you used gopro colour profile or flat colours. How to get those great colours???

[@abekislevitz]

@@Justsachin gopro color for everything except the indoor shots were flat

[@Justsachin]

@@abekislevitz thank you so much 🤗

[@Stolpe0228]

Great videos as always. It is the person behind the camera that counts most, not the gear. You have the storytelling eye and knows every tips and tricks refarding video editing. But it’s easier to get good footage with better gear. Keep up the good work, both of you.

[@n.h2786]

Nice work Zadia. Not too bad for first-timer filmmaking and editing. There are some great shots there.

[@JCUTMoto]

this is one reasons i am always fascinated with this man Abe....

[@RakishRc]

I am totally blown away by your hd hero edit Abe! Just didn't expect it to look so cool compared to hero 9. Great video 👍

[@AdventuresofRon]

Love the idea of this vid! Amazing edits! Zadia’s definitely rockin’ that swag - natural vlogger, soon-to-be GoPro editor!! Also- this proves that it’s not just about the equipment when it comes to filmmaking! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@CaptainCory]

Zadia wins on music choice...but one does not lose a video competition to a rookie when you have that experience. The “artsy fartsy” shows ha. That being said Zadia’s edit still blows any of mine out of the water. Great video guys!

[@RenatoTrentinYT]

Abe makes a awesome storytelling and editing, and the hero camera gives a cool vintage look. But Zadia was insane for a first time with the camera and editing, really amazing work!

[@KHTKids]

We love the video! Wow Zadia did really amazing for her first video. 👍👍 We also like how you were able to make the old gopro look so good. Bloopers at the end is funny. 😂😂

[@skillman7486]

Both videos were great! I’ve never been so excited about using a GoPro again like I’m now. Just bought my hero 9 and I hope I can capture the moments like you do Abe. Keep the videos coming! 👌🏻

[@abekislevitz]

Amazing! You’ll have a blast, as you can see it’s pretty easy to get great results !

[@perwingaardsjqvist3591]

Sick video! Congrats to both of you! 🙌🏻 a lot of memories came back while seeing the GoPro Hero 1 put to use again.

[@ActionXander]

Duuuuudeee y'all killed it. Absolutely loved the editing but those creative angles were super cool. Definitely inspired me to try to be more creative. Awesome vid!

[@DaveMody]

That was brilliant! Great idea. Adding to my next shot list for sure! Thanks you two!

[@jonnyclaridge5778]

they are both great edits, incredible what you have done with such an old camera

[@ershad94]

what a legend! proved that its not the tool, its how you use it.

[@thegopronomad]

Love both the edits. But there is something so amazing in the raw material from the original gopro. Love to see how you do youre post production. Wizard stuff. 🤙🤙🤙 Keep them videos coming. I love it🤟🤘🤙

[@izwannazari7094]

Your transitions are crazy. Great video. Inspiring

[@BmpFishing]

Super cool to see the different perspectives! Amazing to see what your creativity can do with the older GoPro but at the same time how the newer Tech can help the newbie 💪🏼

[@edwin6709]

Wow amazing I almost cried. Fo real. I plan to be more creative like you someday. Really great transitions and moments chosen and just how they go so well together. Wow just wow. I want to learn from you.

[@therealcarterhansen]

There's something about the Hero HD footage I LOVE!!! It's so OG. Sick video guys!

[@ZiadAffara]

This was an interesting video to show! Insane how your skills made the hero 1 footage look dope!

[@branderson9420]

Ahhhhhhh and the snow pow transition @ 14:19!!! Love it

[@SpacingCake]

Men this really gets to me. This shows that it's not about the gear at all! I really needed this video at this specific moment. Thank!

[@michaelwhalen7154]

Enjoyed both end products. Great shots in each. Tough to beat experience and know-how though! My vote is for Abe’s video.

[@FunDudes.]

This is 🔥 Congrats to Zadia✌🏻 First time editing a Video and it turns out this good 🤯 and amazing what Abe can do with the original Hero 🙏🏻 Loved the Idea and the results:)

[@OzzySafa]

She did a great job! loved the angles in her edit! you're both very creative action filmmakers! Cant believe the quality of the original gopro was that bad but you sure made it look good with the variety of unique angles! good job ! Btw were the shots in protune flat and then graded?

[@chrisstotesbery3874]

Great education in in camera transition and the use of b-roll! Awesome to see both!

[@NikoPowe]

Abe, you are that dude!¡! Awesome job homie🔥💪🏾🙏🏾

[@Bas128]

Your editing skills are just insane, Abe. Amazing. Would love to see you taking us through an editing process

[@CheeseOnEverything]

This was awesome! Truly inspiring and a testament that gear doesn't matter.

[@ritik.bhardwaj889]

I don't wanna say this but Abe's version of the montage got me chills! Zadia you're awesome 😀

[@TheLankyCyclist]

I was shooting on a Hero 3 last summer before upgrading to the 8. Stabilization makes such a big difference. Awesome editing by the both of you! I think it's a tie.

[@ozo2495]

no cabe duda, un buen equipo te va ayudar a entregar un buen producto//proyecto pero pesa igual, hasta veces mas la experiencia de quien lo haga. Impresionante los dos clips!! si me dijeran que fueron grabados con la misma cámara, con efectos visuales diferentes, yo lo creeria! excelente video!! Saludos desde Peru!

[@mikael.alhadeff]

Awesome video! The HD still gives great results and Zadia did a great job! Impressive for a first one ;)

[@gregorgraschitz]

This format is so cool! Quality! OG VIBES ! Love the lens flares on the H1

[@TheMuro22]

The HD HERO quality is so much better than what I remember. Also, there is something really nostalgic about a shaky, blurry, horribly compressed, flat and color boosted wide angle bad resolution action video paired with some dubstep electronic music. It just gives me the early 2010s vibes, when GoPros were only becoming popular and you were the biggest boss of the whole universe if you had one.

[@grantsmith6170]

Bad ass!!! Totally put some great ideas in my head and seeing the differences and capabilities changes everything!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

This was really cool we only vlog with GoPro's. We have a 6, 2 7's, and an 8. On our last ski trip, they were giving us so many fits. Our 8 kept freeze frame but recording the sound on almost all the footage one day.

[@Tbejamss3]

So sick! Both edits were awesome but quality on Hero 9 is DRAMATICALLY better...wow!

[@abekislevitz]

Hahah yeah, we edited with proxies the whole time and I thought the quality was similar until I finally watched it exported in 4K. I was like woah 9 looks like real life and HERO1 looks like a potato.

[@carsonlight_lapse6394]

it turned out more surprising than I had expected, damn! That gopro 1 edit is lit!

[@MBrantOlson]

Nice work on getting the OG to turn out great. Nice work on both videos you two.

[@gus_tavo]

Thanks for Musicbed Code ! Great video Abe ! Congrats for Zadia !!!

[@abekislevitz]

Anytime! Thanks for tuning in

[@dashstory3761]

Wow amazing edits 💯 Gotta especially love the creative transitions at 12:44, 14:06, and 14:18 Shoutout to Musicbed as well! Such a legitimate platform for finding applicable songs for your edits 💪

[@abekislevitz]

Thanks !

[@fobbson]

Brings back memories for sure! First GoPro really changed skydiving when it arrived, went from a big Sony to that!

[@abekislevitz]

I bet! Haha yes definitely a nostalgic feel to the footage!

[@attwasmi]

Great work!! Merry Christmas and now you have set me on a task to see just what I can do with my 7 Black!!

[@jacobdimick7070]

Real winners = us. Thanks for always producing great content!

[@ChristopherFarro]

Yayayayay sooooo fun!!! Nice job, Zadia on your first edit!!!

[@zadialarouche]

Thank youuuu christopher! :)

[@veltsi]

Thanks! This was a pleasure to watch! TBH I liked Zadia's edit better even though you had nice features in yours. I guess resolution and "relaxiness" of hers got my vote. But it's nice to see that if you are able you can make something great out of 10y old action camera :D I haven't seen all of your posts but have you made one with modern camera and editing tips the app? I guess that's where most of us are (forced) going to..

[@mattcram3782]

Do I have to chose!?! Haha so sick, both of them, but I really liked the timeline for Abes vid as it started from parking lot, lift, then the action. Music was better and lined up super nice with the footy on Z's edit. Yew you both win lol 😆

[@TheWorldnUs]

Great video idea guys! I enjoyed both edits. Well done 👏

[@ivokoimecs]

First one is really good, the second is better in storytelling. Seems that you shared the ideas as both are very similar. Nice! ... 😀👍

[@AERvideo]

Well, one can definitely spot the difference in the video's quality but your H1 video also turned out amazing! So cool to see this old baby is still in action. We love both edits! Next time try to throw both GoPros (new & old) and show some aerial shots in comparison :-)

[@goodridevibes]

Unfair competition bro - skiing makes such a better platform for filming on than snowboarding when it comes to stability and movement🏂 we always have the skiers in our group film when given a choice for this reason 😂

[@filippoparelli]

That's incredible how you do with the hero 1 man! Final result is really crazy!! Zadia make a great work too, she had potential!

[@NITINCHAWLA]

Haha this vid was rad! The old hero seems soooooooo frustrating at times to use today specially with the insane tech inside the hero 9 and max! Insane vid abe

[@NCTlachaineduvelo]

I don't have a good english but... Impressive. The conclusion is simple : no need the last gadget to do a good job ! Soooo GOOD JOB !

[@IngoLachner]

wow ... incredible what you got out of the original GoPro. Both videos are amazing!!!

[@MartinSlisans]

Great episode. Enjoyed it from the beginning until the end!

[@abekislevitz]

Thanks for watching !

[@GriffinKerwin]

Hahahaha the missing the mode and having to go all the way around again 😂 The batteries dying super super fast wow the nostalgia haha

[@TheCommodoreProductions]

Abe your shots-edit brings back the USC ski vibes way back when 🙌🏼 haha

[@BareKiwi]

BRO! Bloody loved watching this journey

[@mistersubby]

Awesome shots and editing. Perfect music. Ciao from Thailand.

[@RaviRnandi]

Can u guid me buying....is it worth to buy hero 9 for this year also...?

[@NasibSingh05]

His hero1 footage blew my mind. Both made a great video but Abe's video had a very connected storyline kinda feel to it.

[@theog1989]

wow what a video! I was completely lost in it until it finished and I remembered I was on KZbin haha. Wow! :D

[@ShinilPayamal]

Awesome video, as usual. Just goes to prove that, it is not the tool but the person who is using the tool who makes the (big) difference.🍹👍

[@houbena]

Im really surprised that this guy has only 146K followers 😳. EPIC CONTENT that's really blowed my mind❤❤❤

[@Notforme26]

Gosh… you both are awesome!! What a talent!

[@maryjane136]

You both are so nice. Was fun to watch

[@BenEllefson]

Wow, that HD Hero quality is so much better than I remember! Both edits were great!

[@JensEser]

Abe.. loool - All I will say is that you’re not just an iconic filmmaker but also a Gentleman :D

[@dsteck5888]

Haha Abe...glad you came along and made Gopro design so much better throughout the years for us. That Hero footage was dope and Skillslevitz style for sure When ur GF is faster than the old Hero...that's a sign from above...😂😂

[@TheTaRRa09]

Both was so good, I couldn’t choose!!!

[@ruben_music]

I'll watch this whenever i get these thoughts that i need a new camera

[@ExploreTravelTV]

great stuff, not sure what was better your skiing and snowboarding or the filming and editing? :-)

[@zuhaibkhan201]

You guys are inspiration, was going through KZbin to check gropro video footage and came across your channel. Planning for my Moto vlog channel.
