I would never imagine a camera shop would make so many cool videos that are not trying to sell us their cameras in stock, but actual footage for comparasion, cool scientific data and constructive critics. thanks CVP, u guys are years ahead of B&H

[@DynamicPhil84]

Very cool video! I like this more "film analysis" approach compared to the gear review/comparison videos on the channel, so definitely consider making more of these! Diving into the looks of specific films, the director or cinematographer's vision, lens choices, lighting setups, all of this is really engaging and information any creative filmmaker would be interested in watching.

[@alfredpoopykins8264]

This was one of the best camera videos I’ve ever seen. Please make more like this with different setups from different films. Maybe do one for each of the Best Cinematography noms.

[@danbrockettDOP]

This was excellent. You guys are putting so much effort into videos like this and its very appreciated. I'm in the States but I did buy a cable from you once that only you had. You guys set the standard in retailers that put out amazing information, I wish you had a branch in Burbank or Hollywood.

[@neilgibb5265]

Really good Fincher/Messerschmidt/Leitz bit. Liked the references/bibliography, so I'm able to read the whole article and glean additionally from the CVP take. In the 80's Leitz Canada produced cine lenses for Panavison, far and away nicer than the Panas we'd use otherwise. As I had an M5 still camera and 4 lens at the time, I knew and loved the look. That was then, now new computer lens design coupled with designer wisdom is producing fantastic lenses. None quite as complete a group as the Leitz. And yes the Red colour, resolution, and compression offer considerable advantages for indy filmmakers. Thanks for your best piece yet.

[@jimmyhamelin]

Very interesting. Personally I've been working on small documentary project with the Red Komodo and Leica M-mount lenses. It's a killer combination. Bought an adapter for this and couldn't be happier about the size, form factor and overall image quality .

[@jimmyhamelin]

that said, I love what is presented in this video and approuve this combination

[@ilkercelik_com]

I bought komodo x. (havent received yet.) I have Leica M mount Voigtlander lenses (not leica 😐) . I am planning to use such combination for my documentary project. I am a little anxious actually. I am happy to know that similar combination is used and liked. well, it is not a common approach at the end.

[@7thHill112]

@@ilkercelik_com I primarily shoot documentary and I use the Komodo and a few Leica R lenses - my absolute favorite combination, I've been wanting to try the M as well. Once you get used to the traffic lights exposing system you'll never want to go back, perfect on the fly way of nailing exposure - great for documentary. ELQ can get a little crazy with the data rates for long form doc shooting, so that's my only gripe - I would love the option of an h.264/h.265 codec. But you'll be blown away by the image if you can color grade even halfway decently

[@raksh9]

Voigtlander lenses are superb, especially the more recent versions like the Nokton 35mm f1.2 III, 50mm APO, etc. They perform very close to Leica at a fraction of the price.

[@RobbieMcKane]

Are those the photography M mount lenses or the Leitz cine 0.8 line?

[@scottievee330]

YES! You reached 100k. About dang time for what you bring to the game. High level knowledge.

[@cleverghostchili]

This is one of my favorite videos you've produced so far. Bravo!

[@erenozkural]

Please release more videos this. It strikes a very nice balance between brevity and being informative. If you could also highlight lighting and grip equipment on top of camera/lens combinations that would be great.

[@NEVERAGAIN007]

FANTASTIC VIDEO MY MAN!!!! (CAPS INTENDED) THIS WAS GREAT. LOVE FINCHER'S WORK!!

[@pixl8]

more like this please. Highly commend you on that introduction as well. You reached and unlocked a new level. Well done from Australia.

[@jhavoc22]

Nice piece, love the in house production to help tell the story! I 100% agree with the lens build quality and perfect rotation resistance. Almost 100K!

[@nicholas5505]

detailed breakdowns of hollywood rigs and workflows are a very useful resource for beginners. please more videos like this

[@chleepy]

awesome video CVP, would love to see more breakdowns like this for other directors!

[@neurojitsu]

Really appreciate this sort of insight video, which probably you are uniquely placed to both conceive of (given your industry contacts and experience) and execute - it's a smart way for you to differentiate from the competition on KZbin. I also appreciate the effort that must go in to this. One request: maybe go a level deeper into the sources referenced, and summarise what else is there (ie topics covered): even just a word summary on screen of topics would be great, and not require too much additional work on your part. Many of us are hungry for quality sources of insight, but would appreciate that little nudge in the right direction, via signposting what further there is to learn from a reference you make. I'll definitely watch more of this sort of content in future.

[@JustinBellingerTV]

Great video, with brilliant analysis. Love more of these. 🙂

[@Kamasutralovers]

Love the cinematography/camera package analysis. All your videos are excellant, but this is a true masterpiece !

[@sneakypeete]

We trust your judgement, mate! Your work is of a very high standard; the topics are imaginatively selected and rigorously essayed. The technical detail is keenly appreciated as is the sensation of feeling smarter after having watched. Finally, and probably most importantly it encourages one to watch or rewatched said film. Thanks.

[@JonPais]

Summilux-C lenses were also used with RED on the fantastic Netflix series Sky Rojo, along with Hawk V-Lites.

[@RobbieMcKane]

Loved this. Very much enjoyed seeing your technical knowledge being applied to specific industry examples.

[@JulioBHJ]

Dang, that was nice! I really enjoyed this deep dive into one of my favorite lenses, and that little recreation you guys did was fun to watch. Nicely done!

[@omenka]

Great video, Jake! It's amazing to see your passion for the technological aspects of filmmaking!

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

verycool video, thank you great insight... i had no idea big hollywood productions were *adding* barrel distortion in post..

[@neilfullframe]

Very cool intro, I've seen the movie and it was slow starting but ended up good. Nice to know what gear they used, always curious to see what big Hollywood uses.

[@thejosebravo]

I loved the concept of this video. Good job with all the research and putting it together!

[@Karisu00]

I want more videos like this. Wonderful breakdown.

[@bbrunorocha]

the video was great ! such a great format to talk about camera and lenses !!

[@JimandSairs]

Brilliant video Jake, really informative. And your cinematography looks great. I'm interested to know what you used to create the yellowy colour in the video. Thanks Jim

[@faithhouse6111]

I appreciated the insights here. I found like to kind more about what focal lengths are used in certain films for certain shots (especially master shots in small spaces).

[@CineRants]

This is a really interesting kind of analysis. Would love to see of this type from you guys 👍

[@retlwiz]

Really liked your new approach here with a bit of creativity and it didn't go on for too long, so we still got plenty of content about the lenses in particular. It did come across as a bit of a plug for that film - I personally felt that the lens flares and blurred highlights added in post were off-putting and I've heard other, similar comments about how this film was done. It would be nice to leave it up to the viewer what we think of these techniques and maybe show other examples of how these lenses have been used, so get a broader idea of hat they look like. Overall really nice to go over some older equipment and not just focus on the latest thing that's out.

[@lukerodelyfilms]

Loved it! Just watched The Killer last night and I loved the cinematography, kind of a hyper realism, to lean into that comic book like narrative.

[@eddievargas8103]

Great video! Really enjoyed they combo of visuals and info.

[@pabloarribas550]

Great content, with a creative twist. When you devote time to the lightning we can perceive the optical performance of every piece of gear. Highly appreciate it.

[@maartenfilms7631]

Loving this type of video and would very much like to see similar in depth analyses!

[@CVPTV]

Thanks for watching! Jake

[@arunpathak8826]

Loved it, something different but still very insightful and interesting to watch.

[@TheTechnoPilot]

Amazing video guys and I took a lot out of it even with an existing strong technical knowledge!

[@nickobergshow]

The Killer was super entertaining! Beautiful looking and fun to watch! Felt like a Soderbergh movie!

[@SteadyRolling]

The technicals of those lenses look outstanding. It would be interesting to see a similar review of the Summicrons -- with an answer to why they are made in Japan.

[@7thHill112]

Love this style of video, definitely make more !

[@josephasghar]

Superb video. I don’t think there’s a director working today who’s as knowledgeable front and behind camera as Fincher.

[@aTADtoofar]

Yep! Great video. Talking more in cinema terms than video. Really like it! Then again, you guys always do a good job anyway!

[@CVPTV]

Thanks for watching! Jake

[@ItsPaul87]

What an awesome video. Would love to see more like this one 😁

[@rhubarbfilms]

Fascinating video. Not a huge fan of the film but interesting to see how Fincher used the tech to strip out any personality for the lenses

[@tomfuller4473]

Leitz, Camera, Action!

[@jacksonwelsh6242]

More of this! Would love to see some film scene re-creations

[@paull9901]

Love the video. Ultimate content for a true cinema/film geek.

[@koushiktamilmaran]

really good perspective on his usage of Lens+Camera. I'm personally looking for vintage lenses to test different looks. Any videos on intersting usage of vintage lenses (from before 2000) for films? I'm asking with indie films/ documentaries in mind.

[@BenjaminRowlandTV]

Very interesting video. Thank you for all of the details.

[@gfilmdawg]

This is much better than the typical stale and dry camera/gear reviews than others put on youtube. Nicely done.

[@CVPTV]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, Jake

[@der.kommentierende.komment5275]

Me clicking on this video thinking I can afford the equipment XD

[@lasha9174]

Please continue these episodes :)

[@ZandreRoss]

I will be purchasing a Komodo X in the next two weeks and I was wondering what lens would best fit my rig for what I’m using it for It will be running as a live stream roaming camera on Sundays and a main wedding film camera during Saturdays I was considering a Canon RF 35mm lens for overall use but was wondering if there’s a better option to consider as this is my first cinema camera

[@gstroginis]

Fantastic video! Would love to see more like it.

[@ccm4428]

Curious to throw a little public debate out there, but in terms of recording options, color spectrum, dynamic range and camera based post-production options, would people rather shoot on the RED V-Raptor or the SONY Burano? (Explain why if you can too)

[@GlobalShutterNY]

Great analysis/discussion... Lenses/lighting/camera blocking and framing are much more important than the camera sensor nowadays IMHO - every modern sensor has more than enough DR and even resolution (except for heavy cropping where the 8K is still useful) to make the differences unimportant for real world use.

[@johnclay7644]

informative content Thanks CVP

[@joeaddison]

Love this type of video !!

[@MrVrob8]

Would really enjoy a Leitz Hugo review as well!

[@陈宗横]

[@VincentPowell]

This was exceptional. Can we do a dive on Villeneuve?

[@WarrenPeaceOG]

Best video you've made!

i have a 21mm Summilux-C for sale 😊. Incredible lenses.

[@jithinbabu9579]

as usual, very informative video

[@dangerruss5]

ok this is clearly not the point but that little arm that comes in and blocks the iris is so cool

[@paulvsthevolcano]

Loved this!

[@126productions8]

How did you do the voice over impersonation? keep 'em coming!

[@spooky_leftist]

Was the S35 Raptor not available yet when they were shooting?

[@8KHDRVideoBySittipong]

Thanks for sharing.

[@DogAmongMen]

Two of your youtube sources are the same in the description

[@SQUAWWW]

Really liked the video!

[@UltraCodex66]

I found the wider shots so confusing to look at because of the light barrel distortion

[@aarong2374]

is covering the iris unique to this lens? Never seen that before.

[@Warren-g8t]

From the comments it seems this was very popular Jake. So it seems you'll have to make more similar analysis video's.

[@diegopisante]

Love this videos

[@tek_soup]

@7:46 Product Placement. 🤣🤣🤣🤣Asus

[@vlcheish]

0:31 Not a shot at you guys personally but it's interesting how difficult it is to actually make something look like a real 'movie'. Despite having top end camera and lens your recreation still looks like something that is very indie compared to an actual higher end movie like The Killer. Its almost too sharp and looks like video which is typically what I noticed when I see recreations of movies on KZbin. Obviously you don't have the same lighting crew and post production budget ect but just pointing out how difficult it is to make a movie look like a movie.

[@nestorarranz3179]

I was at a talk by Eric (im not going to attempt his last name) and he stressed how much we shouldnt care about gear... Yet here I am

[@nebukadnezzar3578]

"Killer combination", only in this context the saying really makes sense and should be allowed ;-)

[@tobiasolsen8547]

Great video🫶🏻

[@Bo_Hazem]

There is some hissing sound like some gas release when you talk, silenced when you stop. Anyway, wonderful video!

[@CVPTV]

There’s construction going on constantly outside of the office, what you can hear is a jackhammer! Sorry, trust it annoys us too!! Jake

[@Bo_Hazem]

@@CVPTV Ah then you did a great job at suppressing it to a mild "hiss".

[@midnightperfectworld]

Is that a desert eagle 357??

[@wilismatrix9847]

The hollywood movies look is about those expensive lenses and lighting ...no low end lense can achieve that look even on alexa35

[@jamiazad4750]

Red sensor size is such a weird awkward non industrial that u can’t use Anamorphics thus selling here this non anamorphic look.

[@AI-Hallucination]

Best glass in the world optics in general Germans just do it 35mm Oscar

[@2424rocket]

Getting a hold of you or your company to ask for advice is nearly impossible.

[@danieljohnpeters]

Someone knows how to sell some kit :)

[@davvehallberg]

I was a bit disappointed at some of the shots in this movie, especially in the sunny warm places!! It looked blurry, fake and green screened for some reason..

[@JonPais]

There were many shots where background details were blurred in post.

[@RpKTANK]

Nolan would have done way better movies after interstellar if he just embrace the way fincher is using cgi/vfx instead of only blowing milions saying " NO CGI" ." I can recreate with millions a small nuclear explosion or make the beach of dunkirk empty and ot accurate to what it was in WWII, and crash a AIRPLANE for the sake of saying : " I have the money I can" "

[@chronoscopefilm5984]

no.

[@thatcherfreeman]

Tbh the thing holding Nolan's movies back since interstellar has mostly been the writing. His recent stuff has all looked excellent and it's not like he's being strangled by his budget. That being said, Tenet, Dunkirk, and to a lesser extent Oppenheimer have not quite had as strong an emotional pull as Interstellar did (in some scenes in particular!), and that's a matter of screenplay moreso than VFX budget allocation.

[@rumbepack]

Oppenheimer, Dunkirk and tennet looked better thant the killer.

[@supes12]

This is one of the dumbest comments I’ve read in a while. Dunkirk and Oppenheimer are absolute masterpieces, both in storytelling and visuals.

[@DollyRanch]

Fincher was a VFX artist before he was a director. Using VFX invisibly is an art unto itself

[@geargeekpdx3566]

Fincher doesn't move his camera.

[@IJohnSmith]

What a profoundly stupid thing to say

[@geargeekpdx3566]

@@IJohnSmith oh no i'm triggered snzzz

[@buddyfx7026]

Did fincher shoot in your alls storage? 🤣

[@JWS1968]

Only one problem here for me. The Killer is a terrible film. Watched it the other night it was absolute garbage. Cinematography was ok but nothing stunning. Now The Batman shot by Greig Fraser was incredible.

[@charliemcgrain]

Great, only 140,000 English pounds for a used set! I will be sticking to my S5 and Canon L glass thanks, and no one will know the difference.
