[@DominusFeles]

Dang it! I’m already booked that day! And 700km away 😇

[@luncuthubeja]

Goddamnit !! come to South africa

[@erickadjanor]

If ever there’s a need for an intern, I’m available.

[@joelelhadj6993]

I considered booking a flight to norway there for a minute, then i realized, the workshop is 1hr long ( or short should i say ) 😢

[@libraproducciones]

Well done, I loved the end sequence when the battery comes back to the studio and get charged, amazing 🔥

[@derrierelacamera]

Haha you guys are the best. Your videos are so creative.Truly unique on KZbin 🔥 I loved the French scene, I didn't see it coming. Je n'avais pas réalisé qu'Emma est française 🔥 Ne changez rien :)

[@Andyax]

Thanks! :)

[@erickadjanor]

Great content from y’all every time. I’ve learnt so much as a creator from your videos ❤️

[@clynshotimages]

Very informative content in this video. Your story telling skills are really outstanding. I love the entire final video but mostly between 16:58 battery drop and 17:04 when the coffee cup spills coffee. To me it felt like the battery happened to be there by luck even if it was planned. That's really Brilliant

[@loudmotion5639]

great idea, small typo at 16:49. Thanks for the inspirations ;)

[@Andyax]

And thanks for your feedback!

[@savethephotons2532]

Amazing! Very well done, love your energy!

[@GlennVanderbeke]

Excellent video, loved it from the start to the ending! Great commercial idea as well ;)

[@Nelsontron1]

Great Video. I Love the behind the scene. Peace from NYC

[@dasmeisterlein]

nice!

[@gabrielobrien21]

This was super cool.

[@FullFrameStudio]

I already own the 50w by smallrig, but this commercial makes me want to get another hahah

[@Andyax]

Hehe ;)

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Fantastic BTS. The commercial you created would definitely sell the battery to me. I want one already! Great work, VJUS.

[@giraffeapproved]

Just when you think it's done, Mathias keeps coming back with an even more ridiculous idea LOL. Love it.

[@The-Logician]

I thought Kim should have done an impression of Lemmy from Motorhead and sung the Ace of Spades...... It should be illegal to have that much fun.

[@Andyax]

Who had the best pitch? ^^

[@EricLefebvrePhotography]

The drumkit one ... 100%. LOL

[@mamamia4959]

The Gladiator scene for me

[@WhySteve]

I liked the arena idea. Imagine 2 batteries, fighting it out in the arena, except, instead of weapons, there are electrical appliances. First one who's battery dies, loses.

[@jacqueslun2663]

@@EricLefebvrePhotography 😄

[@BadKarma714]

here’s my pitch What about a documentary Of Eskild Fors that I’ve been missing on this channel Since his passing his story is so important to tell to eliminate the stigma of mental illness. I have mental illness and substance abuse disorder. I’ve been sober for over 10 years from heroin. I work as a peer support specialist/peer mentor. I help people in my program who have occurring disorders and I hope them in their recovery, I know he’s looking down on you and really proud of what you guys built. I’ve been with this channel for a very long time I’m still subscribed to his channel as well. I go back watching his old videos. I think that would help with the stigma of mental health depression, and the stuff that other people go through.

[@7707Denis]

One word: excellence! The end result is brilliant, but so is the whole process (top acting from each and every one). I'm energized; top level!

[@Andyax]

Thank you!

[@bobchesker2820]

Why didn’t you edit in Davinci or did the sound engineer convince you all? Like me if you want to see the answer, just like me!

[@EricLefebvrePhotography]

As a french Canadian, I saw the drum kit joke coming a mile away! LOL. It was awesome. I laughed so hard when she swore in french. LOL. That was a great commercial! Would a polarizing filter have worked to remove the reflection from the battery or would that have caused issues with the LED displays visibility? Also, I can totaslly see the rod removal but that because I am specifically looking for it since I know it is there. If I had not been made aware that that was done, I would never have noticed.

[@Andyax]

Hehe ^^ A polarizing filter could actually have helped us yes! Good input.

[@BadKarma714]

Your mom is so beautiful and so joyful. She seems like a really nice lady.😊

[@oliverfrankphoto]

This was amazing🔥🫡 Now we need two batteries fighting a gladiator battle!

[@DSLRguide]

this is my favourite video from you guys in a while!

[@Andyax]

Thanks. Great to hear from your Simon!

[@ItsCaptainAllan]

You guys have been a big inspiration to me, especially Anders. Your series on how to make a film company with friends is played at least once in my hostel here at film school every week. God bless y'all for what y'all are doing. Keep it up. Much love from Kenya, East Africa.

[@Andyax]

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing!

[@mradriiiian]

Ahh~ finally some wholesome filmmaking again

[@Schlingelkind]

👋

[@DominusFeles]

Oh come on! Everyone knows that ai stands for artificial… Art-i-fiiicial… Ehm…

[@Andyax]

haha

[@martinekwall4671]

Wow your videos are so happy and fun 🤩 Great end result exciting BTS🤗🤗 Fantastic team!!

[@jakebox]

Happy birthday Emma !

[@EmileModesitt]

Well done guys!! Personally I think I’d actually ditch the on-screen text in the ad (plenty of stuff going on in the frame without it and it still gets the point across). Only thing I might have added was some shots to show the variety of ports on the battery. 🎉🤙

[@Andyax]

Thanks. Agree. We had shots where the battery was turning around to see the outputs, but it ruined the idea of keeping the battery in the same angle during the whole commercial.

[@BenjaminJaksch]

I'm really happy Josh marked you in his NAB video. What a great channel to follow. Your work is really outstanding and inspiring.

[@meyerdigitalfilm]

12:46 haha the rig looks so funny with the acustic foam lol. Great video i love it

[@SightseeingStan]

"PS. This is not my mom" seriously made me laugh 😂

[@juliancroot]

The acting for the ideas pitching sessions was so fun and well done by everyone. Awesome insights as usual, and if smallrig have any sense they'll use your commercial. I don't know how you get the time to make these videos while running a production company, but I'm glad you do. Well done everybody involved, that was great. 🙏

[@Andyax]

Thanks Julian

[@BoombapArt]

Awesome work, super creative! 🔥 👊🏻

[@shotenprodcompany]

Very Nice!! And you speak french ?! Ça fait plaisir ... Bonjour de la France 😉🫡🇫🇷

[@electronicbox6990]

Great video and idea, but actually the version : Wilsoon!!!! was super nice! Let me give you an idea to developed it. The battery stays on a table or a cupboard and has a hair and eyes and smile as on the movie. The actor says Wilsoon, Willson!!! Then some other even more crazy looking actor, maybe your "China" colleague, smash the main actor in the face and screams, this is not Wilson, god da.... it! This is Smallrig 99 !

[@WalidKhelladi]

Great work guys ,as always ! i love how you make a short documentary from every little idea keep it going ✌

[@petesalter4863]

Awesome! Thanks for doing videos that are for us and not just for a client. You guys are so positive! Love it!

[@luka_hrvatic]

Great video guys, bravo!

[@cogmission1]

So did Small Rig buy it or not? :). I really want to know! What's the verdict? (That was such an awesome idea, I don't see how they could pass it up!)

[@SuperSuperka]

Great! But better to put capacity in Wh, as mAh tells nothing without knowing the Voltage.

[@CallMeRabbitzUSVI]

Ive loved you guys for over 6 years! But recently with your continued use of A.I. in your videos have left an absolute sour taste in my mouth making watching any video with it a nonstarter for me. You guys are creators and understand how hard it is to launch, i was with you guys through all those countless attempts but to use AI which disenfranchises fellow creators by ripping and stealing their work (Adobe Firefly steals as well) it is showing that you guys care less about furthering creators and more about using it to garner more views for personal gain at the expense of other artists and creators

[@vegardpedersen]

Very creative Commerical, now I want the new battery! Was the shot of the cup wit the coffee staged or an accident? IF it was really an accident, it was perfect :-)

[@Andyax]

Hehe thanks. It was accidentally staged.

[@filmmakerevolution]

Incredible end result 😊😊 although the battery as Wilson would have been hilarious 😂

[@parbathkulathunga8578]

What if you kept the battery at a golden point not any golden point the specific golden point which is the lower left of the battery should be angled like it is open to the world/scenarios different weather conditions, different rigs, different applications and it's the best power cube in which we can rely on for a long-lasting but compact & lightweight. The opener should be the battery on the charging dock and if someone takes it out the things going on the same as the idea but there should be a reminder you should keep a beep or some kind of a reminder sound with the battery percentage displayed on the battery like every 5 or 10 seconds and last shot should be someone plug the battery back into the charger in the late night. But keep in mind that in the opener and the end, the battery should be in the centre. The battery won't move through a cut it moves in the shot from the centre to the right lower golden point in the opening shot and back to the centre in the last shot. Keeping the battery in a corner helps you to make the final output look more natural and has more than enough room to show what's happening in the background, giving you a good chance to hide your rig seamlessly. But remember, there'll be some situations in which you can't keep the battery in the corner and when facing such a situation bring the battery back into the centre just for a while and throw it back to the corner which is also should be in the shot. Also, keep in mind that you should give it a natural feel, don't hold the battery like you're presenting your drawing to your class in 2nd grade. act natural, handle the subject naturally, and express the real-world feel to the audience. People are more likely to buy a product when the advertising campaign delivers a real-world feel. ❤❤❤

[@fractalfxproductions]

Always enjoy watching you guys working and having fun! Une baguette entière ? Put@in... C'est trop bon ! Great crew !

[@Mastajwood]

KILLER video. Great idea for a product shoot like this.

[@chrisw443]

How do we make a video about a battery?! Use it, and film that? Perfect!

[@lipardfilm]

Great movies! Already checked the availability of the battery near me. 😂

[@brightcapent]

Wonderful job. Thank you guys for sharing.

[@JoshC.]

I hate that I just watched an 18 minute commercial about a battery and enjoyed it LOL

[@nyambe]

Wait, you are still using premier!!

[@Andyax]

Hehe nope. But we still use After Effects :)

[@nyambe]

@@Andyax Iol great job Andy, I have been following you from back back in the day. very proud of how far you have gone.

[@JustChris97]

I’m such a huge fan of Emma… I caught the Drumkit joke right away being a French Speaker. Love this video, great job as usual! 🔥

[@Andyax]

Thanks. I will let Emma know :D

[@X99Zero]

The product would stand out more if there was a small led to light it

[@RMuliaina]

HOLD ON... Mathias had solid ideas.

[@mfjae]

Where do you get your music from?

[@JesseSlykermanVideoProduction]

I'm commenting here now to remind you that I WILL be back later to watch this video! 😅

[@kadragepictures]

probably one of the craziest and most inspiring youtube channels about filmmaking!

[@joelelhadj6993]

Incredible content as always. Probably one of the only filmmaking channels that i can stay glued to for 20min at the time. Also, you have a french editor.. i’m sure you need a french cinematographer to balance it out, i’m available 😅

[@pumziletracywilbon7963]

This was brilliant! Thank you for the great BTS, thorough explanations and awesome visuals. Great ad, too! Happy to have discovered your channel. Will be back for more. 🙏❤

[@Kadehr]

Wow, the final commercial is just WOW! Et vive la France!

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

my 50mm nikkor 1.4D lens came today, I love the bokeh with an adapter for my old trusty GH4!im using a Weebill S gimbal, but its not fun to hold over a long time! do you guys ever use pro mist or dreamy lens adapters?hugs and kisses from denmark

[@esha_indra]

16:49 "on the marked". typo ?

[@Andyax]

Aha! Thanks

[@kireetrajbhandari]

This was really amazing to watch as always. Final product was soo fulfilling.
