One Lens Challenge [vs Oliver Astrologo]

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

Try it! Literally any camera will work. Tag "One Lens Challenge"

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

Zoom lens is sort of cheating though.

[@fabiohamann]

Brandon Li , I own a D800 and a nice set of lenses, but wondering to do the challenge with my compact LUMIX LX100 with 24-70mm equivalent lenses locked at the 35mm focal length. That’s not cheating, right? 😜

[@wijandreas3309]

Is it stiil legal to participate? because i got no fix lens. :)

[@chacana-rando]

I guess what he is saying is that you just pick one focal length on your zoom like 50mm and then don't move it. Like Fabio Hamann said above.

[@artsvanberg]

Love the challenge! Puah your limits and creativity!😊 This is my take on one lens challenge + one location challenge #onelenschallenge 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpLadIKLlKlreaM

[@OliverAstrologo]

Very cool Brandon, it was great to team together. I look forward to see the other videos in the comments!

[@noiaverse]

OMG! Just went to your channel. Why did I just discover you right now?? Your videos are awesome as Brandon's.. subscribed!!

[@Toxicclay]

I like this challenge bc I only have 1 lens

[@andrewtamas2088]

I feel you bruh

[@parisbase4639]

Toxicclay You make my day LOL.

[@MannyOrtiz]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNN SO GOOOD GUYS!

[@boomshiddang]

This video is such a testament that creative vision is everything. Two different filmmakers with the same goal and similar gear but two distinct - and awesome - short films with clear story!

[@MichaelNgvyen]

Brandon your pacing is unmatched!!! I loved this challenge but what I love even more is the two different stories and perspectives from each film maker from the same day and time. That’s why I love art in general ! Great job guys.

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

it's like jazz but with cameras

[@RyanM428]

Brandon’s vision is amazing.

[@AllatonceIvan]

Brandon is super unrated!

[@billtotolo]

Thanks for the shout out, Brandon. I'm glad you like the picture profile. I'm a fan of your work so it's an honor to know I've been involved on some small level. Oh, and thank you for pronouncing my name perfectly, that almost never happens! Cheers.

[@setphstudio6]

would love to have your picture profile. any details on how to get it?

[@billtotolo]

@@setphstudio6 just follow this link vimeo.com/139061000 PW: totolovision

[@AkshayJoshiFilms]

Oliver's story felt more strong but the last shot of Brandon's was superb..The ball getting kicked and POV out transition..

[@musicmachineplayer]

Great will be doing the challenge on my Cannon G7X MII (point and shoot) which has a fixed lens, hope to achieve something at least worth a watch 📷

[@elliotbaker3757]

Mmm I would disagree everyone does the video of people stuck in there phone

[@webstermickey69]

Oliver is one of the best as well, I love love his style!!!!!!!!

[@tarkarose7938]

This is awesome! Thank you Brandon and Oliver for not just explaining so clearly but also showing the behind the scenes footage.

[@franciscomiranda2313]

No way... you arrive home, grab your ipad and a video of a colab of your two favourite travel filmmakers appear. What a surprise. Thank you guys! It was amazing to see both of your videos and styles of editing and shooting at the end. Met Oliver last year, hope to meet Brandon one day soon! Please give me a call when you come to Portugal. I will buy you guys lunch, we will chat about movies and travel and we will shoot something together! Lets do it! All the best 🙏

[@daryljqy1504]

This is literally so dope. We get so see both the magic, and the method. Incredibly invaluable information. Love your content as always, Brandon!

[@jtalk0074]

😱 2 of my FAVOURITE filmmakers in the same amazing video! Thank you so much! This really made my day ☺️

[@nirvanray]

One of the most brilliant lessons where both BTS, detailled work and final film is shown. Very inspiring, Thanks Brandon and Oliver.

[@antoinegaultier8967]

It's hard to tell which one is better. Just like the title, this challenge brings me more inspiration from you two. Thank you so much!

[@epochstories]

A great challenge and an amazing tutorial. Love this collaboration. More of this please. We might give it a try!

[@ChrisWheatley97]

The irony of a short-film on how people are focused too much on technology, that is posted on KZbin so I can watch it on my phone.. great stuff as always, Brandon. Love to see more of this 'how I got the shot' BTS stuff.

[@herurishardana5618]

Both sequences are amazing. Well done.

[@AllenRReid]

That was fantastic! Loved hearing the interaction and thought process between you two. I hope to see more of these in the future.

[@suvradipdutta8896]

This is not only a challenge, different type of tutorial also- love it... A big Thanks both of you.

[@vertigev]

I love this idea! Great content as always!! I'm a big fan of those 'challenge' videos because they give me a place to start without getting overwhelmed

[@ohrah2003]

Loved this. Great use of transitions on both videos.

[@atifshafiq172]

you both are genius and what a coincident i already have liked oliver just because of this reason that you both have absolutely same style of filming and now what i see you both are filming together wow it happens very Rare..

[@FrankFilms-hn7ci]

Love it.. both amazing artist at play.👍👍👍

[@JamieHines]

That's just inspiring. And love how you guys talk about what your doing, thinking and other aspects that might help us. Great challenge

[@trublu850]

2 of my favorite KZbin film makers in 1 clip. Awesome!

[@gharawala]

awesome creativity, editing and music gives a punch to the viewer , I love the works, keep it up

[@petermc7780]

Impressive! Brandon your choice of music set it off!

[@itsryanwilkes]

Very stoked to share my One Lens Challenge video with you Brandon! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5aWd6N9q7Bqmq8 Thank you for challenging us up and coming/new filmmakers and getting us to do get creative with these constraints. I had a total blast making this short edit, and I hope lots of people partake in the challenge as well! Cheers, Ryan

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Very cool challenge. Ill try it when I return from my vacation. Your results are amazing....

[@codybap]

That was super cool. Really enjoyed the final outcomes. So much more fun filming with a friend.

[@ryta5465]

My jaw literally dropped when I see both of your works!

[@maurizioricci9274]

Oliver Is the most insane Italian videomaker!

[@vangelaobli]

This is insane!!! Slick transition!

[@RacheldeGraaff]

Wow ! Both of you are wonderful

[@MissGypsy]

Wow this was great. Brandon please make more such videos. It was a good learning.

[@MrPashee]

Amazing video! And both works are great. Very interesting explanation of Oliver! THANKS!

[@BobbyGiggz]

It's true, Oliver's story about technology overload is easier to recognise. I do love Brandon's moody spec though. Perfect for London. Nice1 👍👍👌

[@xiaoqi719]

you guys are so cool...coming up with so many interesting ideas...

[@vladislavshagov9713]

WOOOOOW!!! So inspiring video! Hope to see videos like this!

[@JohnJonesRocketCity]

That was really cool. Challenging and liberating for sure. I have to do this.

[@MajorAddiction]

love Brandon's ending. The momentum of the ball pushing us back

[@rwickra]

OMG... My absolute two of my three favorite filmmakers! You guy should have invited @joshuamorin and it would have completed the holy trinity of the three best travel filmmakers I know! So glad to see you guys working together!

[@withaminutetogo]

Brandon - fantastic. This has really inspired me to stop making excuses about my lack of time. By the way, MORE COLLABORATIONS PLEASE, that really was great to hear the two of you bouncing ideas and styles around.

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

That's why we put limits on this challenge: you shouldn't spend more than a few hours on the whole thing

[@elaineross9365]

Very cool indeed and great films. One question..... how long do you spend putting the film together? Like from the point u import the footage until you hit export? ..... oops I just checked other comment, only one hour!?!? Wowwwwwww,

[@TheMilesWeShare]

Do you all shoot on Cine4 or s-log2? I'm with Brandon on the Cine4 with color and black tweaks. I was convinced I could do more color work in post with s-log 2 until I tried Cine4 for a while. Plus, seeing that small amount more color really helps with composition and and locking onto the emotion of the shot more readily. Love the idea of intentionally balancing at 4000K btw. Definitely added to the moodiness.

[@ludwigvalenta9305]

luv it! there is hopefully more to come soon!

[@erik24]

both awesome films. 1 story, 1 fast story.

[@alvinbechter3398]

Interessting to see how different can be the styles. And everybody thinks its important to have an gimbal. Some of the best video are shot by handheld. Keep up brandon✌🏽

[@chadwickwatkins6272]

So Cool guys!

[@AlexisFloresFilms]

Hi Brandon! What bag are you using here?

[@RicoResolves]

I liked Oliver his movie the best. However, I did like Brandon his shaky camera motions to fit the vibe of the story.

[@zeroliuxiyuan]

I'm literally amazed! Thanks for sharing the backstage scenes.

[@kaj-nagibe]

It's not what you have but what you do with what you have. Great challenge Brandon!

[@WayneLian]

what else I can ask for when two master meet up and share this challenge... :) thumbs up!

[@pablofigueroacl]

Hi Brandon, hope you can help me with this. I would like to travel to the north of Chile, to an a particular event, a cultural and religious ritual to Virgen de Guadalupe, people walk around 46 miles from Calama to Ayquina town, ceremonies and religious dance are some of the rituals for a week. I have a Mavic Pro and a Sony A7RIII with 24-240 and 14mm rokinon, what do you suggest to create a film with this?.... Thanks.

so talented!!!!

[@lcprod]

Siete i migliori!!!

[@ShantelleGamponia]

more like this please

[@EarlyDawnTravels]

I love your videos so much!! Thank you for making this!

[@jakubs.6817]

So good! This is what I expect from youtube! Also both videos are great!

[@davidpattillo752]

Great stuff guys!

[@rjderama]

Great challenge. I would cheat and use the 16-35 f4. But Would the 2.8 GM be something you’d use over the f4 OSS version to get that stop of light?

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

No the 2.8 is too big. Doesn't work with my gimbal and I don't need the stop

[@rjderama]

Size matters not, unless it's too heavy :). Thank you for sharing your opinion and all your work with us!

[@kathleenhart707]

Can you tell me what the tweaks are in your Cine4 picture profile Brandon?

[@SanjaySoekhoe]

billtotolo.blogspot.com/2015/09/totolovision-picture-profile-for-sony.html

[@prittamvedpathak]

Sir, would you try to make a travel video on canon entry level camera with kit lens without a gimbal.?

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

Of course. What matters most is finding something interesting to film, and having fun with the project. There's no rules.

[@briandecasa5444]

I never thought of setting white balance to produce a certain mood. I always used auto for my a6500 and adjust in post. I guess it really pays to "shoot to edit"

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

setting white balance = grading raw. color correction in post = grading jpeg

[@briandecasa5444]

Brandon Li just waiting for your course to go live!

[@alexardaya7113]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 bravoo My top 2 together 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭👏🏼

[@SergeyGuziy]

What is the soundtrack of Oliver's film? Thx

[@masterthelastman]

Thx Brandon, again you give a couple of very useful tips and tricks. May i give you a suggestion? I would love to hear you about the proces of storytelling. What does a video need to be a good story? How can you tell a story with video in 1 minute?

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

some storytelling tips here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3ilammeebaBfKs

[@paveltrubenkov7060]

Brandon, how much time did you spend at final cut for this short movie? Dont know why, but your style is unique and very cool.

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

Hi, about 2 hours

[@oyecomova_live]

Great concept guyss eill do one soon

[@charlitoncln]

Yeahhh... great shot.. very cool

[@sokhserei7054]

I always love your video. I just a beginner and I got my Sony a6000 and if I have to buy only one Len for video on a6000 what should I get?

[@lcmpark]

Oh I luv Brandon Li

[@outdoordutchman5743]

epic. Gonna try this challenge tommorow.

[@nikolaidante3571]

How did he do the transition through the grate at the end??

[@techworld3043]

Both of you awesome

[@phoenixrider2210]

This is amazing great video for only 30 min shooting....awesome

[@shogosalon]

Please come to Hampstead! It’s great place to film! And if you need your hair cut, I work at 106 Heath st NW3 1DR in Hampstead!

[@noflyzonnn]

I like your inspiration and new idea Brandon.

Sweet you guys rock! I will take this on and give it a try too :)

[@chekchhil874]

hello you can know music on brandon li film can you tell me thank for your kindness

[@VideoUpskill]

Really cool concept, awesome work!

[@HimanshuKhanna]

Amazing Brandon !!!

[@PabloCimadevila]

Like before watching the video as always

[@paveltrubenkov7060]

Hi, Brandon! Did you use program stabilization ( FCP or some else) in your short movie? And how often do you use program stab in your work?

[@BrandonLiUnscripted]

I stabilized a few shots yeah. I use it whenever I want to steady out a shot that has lots of tracking points and not too much rolling shutter

[@swallacetravelerphotographer]

Great challenge. I get always inspiration from your video😉

[@kspec2001]

great idea!

[@Innovate-pq9ci]

Really great and inspiring :) I'll try to do that as well!

[@joeytryst]

This really gets the creative juices flowing!

[@olaflubke4389]

Just great!

[@ELJAGUAR]

nice guys, good energy! i love the challenge, i will come up with something as well. Thank you so much for this video and london meet up. You should be do more!

[@edwardromano4851]

Different styles but same results: genuine storytelling. You should do one together now 🔥⚡️💣👍🏻 Also good to know that you Brandon are uploading again!!!! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@rajaram1canvas]

In India it is called 'jugalbandhi' when two musicians play two instruments in sync ! Extremely educative, immersive. Each one has a technique. So much to learn. Great watching it.

[@yyyyymk]

Great Movie Brandon !

[@TheFunkchini]

OMG my STAFF PICK MASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kitokoArt]

awesome I gotta try that!!!

[@CreativaImages]

both films are great!
