Do you want to see another day like this?

[@TomasRamoska]

Yes please

[@DJILLEE]

Yep I dug it

[@baja1980s]

Absolutely

[@Soluchi-InfiniteCoCreatorGod]

Keep doing your thing, man. Great content. 😊💯

[@stanc846]

Yes, I like this raw format

[@basserfelt]

Could be fun to see what you focus on when we follow you but this was great to see especially how you just by chatting actually made a potentially customer :) Nice video!

[@TomasRamoska]

I like this kind of format. We can see not only Hi-5's but f*** ups as well. Batteries going flat etc.

[@abo1245]

I really liked the video. There need to be more like this. It's very beneficial. Thanks again bro and keep putting in that work ✊🏾👍🏾

[@felixstudencki7470]

Hi, I really liked the video. Especially because it seems so authentic, like a diary entry from a really exhausting day of filming! I’m really impressed of all you managed to shoot on one day! Greetings from Vienna 😉

[@damiencooper]

Awesome. Diary is a great way of describing it and exactly what I wanted it to feel like!

[@baja1980s]

Awesome video, love and thank you for showing us the real Day to day life into your work. Such a dynamic view. Be cool if you would show more into the working of the camera.

[@kerazydog]

Man. I can relate to Having a backpack on all day while shooting 😭. The sport of film is unforgiving. I enjoyed this

[@mediapr4566]

one of your best videos! I definitly like that format more!

[@rw3452]

Liked the fly on the wall vibe! Good work 👍

[@ILLATIT]

Great stuff bro! Love this style

[@damiencooper]

cool, really wasn't sure if people like that! :)

[@spiderti7]

Loved that style of video, I would love to have a tiny bit more narrative content, gear and “story” related mainly. Keep up the excellent work!

[@GDoggProductions]

Great video would love to see more like these 😍

[@Masterduo]

Loved the video brotha! Need more content like this. Love the behind the scenes process. Would like to see more about the equipment you use as well. Keep up the great work 👍🏾

[@aleksrya3673]

Great and useful content!

[@OwoyemiMichael]

Please do more of BTS like this, it's engaging and beautiful. Good work.

[@damiencooper]

Thanks a lot for the encouraging comment!

[@OwoyemiMichael]

@@damiencooper You're most welcome..

[@xkben90]

Loved it. Reminds me why i almost never do timelapses haha. Thanks for sharing!

[@ancilm]

Good content!

[@damiencooper]

Thanks for the comment! ;)

[@MikeEdwardsphotography]

Liked it. A lot!

[@damiencooper]

So glad you did...

[@Malick333]

Really enjoyed watching, sometimes the over dramatic super polished content gets monotonous cause that’s 99% of KZbin. And man, made me sick to my stomach when you forgot the batteries … we all try to make sure we have everything we need but sometimes that happens and you gotta roll with it like you did. Anyways was a really good realistic view into a “normal” doc shoot day and what has to go into it. It’s not glamour out all the time and I think many people don’t understand what we have to go through to get “amazing”. But yes keep it going!

[@Amdrag161]

Bro I love all your work!! Keep it up 🚀🚀

[@damiencooper]

Thanks a lot. Good to hear!

[@photographyRI]

I liked it

[@aov_james]

which one do you like/prefer for wide end? rf15-35 vs tokina 11-20? and why? I would definitely love to see more contents like this! thanks~

[@damiencooper]

Well, it’s a weird comparison as those are lenses for different cameras. The 15-35 on the C70 isn’t nearly wide enough. So the 11-20 is a way better choice

[@MayurMahapatraFilms]

Hey man.. nice work.. Sony A7S3 or R5? Which one good for your kinda pro work? Please reply.

[@damiencooper]

Me personally, I would probably go with the R5 because I have a lot of Canon gear. But starting new I would recommend the Sony

[@MayurMahapatraFilms]

@@damiencooper thanks man.. 🙏

[@Jadesfishing]

Great video Damian! One question how did you make that time lapse so good in the beginning? Do you use the camera in aperture priority? And was that the R5 you shot on? Thanks bro!

[@damiencooper]

Hey thanks. Yes and yes. I have a full day to night Timelapse on my channel I uploaded recently 😉

[@Jadesfishing]

@@damiencooper sick man thank you I watched. I have the r5 also so I will try to do more of these day to nights!

[@waynosfotos]

Question When you do a sunrise time lapse, how do you set the exposure when you need to predict the light at the end of the time lapse. Cheers

[@damiencooper]

Hey, I have a full tutorial on that I uploaded recently

[@waynosfotos]

@@damiencooper really, must of missed it. Normal catch all your vids. Will check it out

[@domalcides9533]

Hello my friend. Good afternoon ❤️❤️

[@escapingdeception5799]

This was awesome but in my opinion could’ve use a little narration.. not a lot just a few voice overs here and there but I always enjoy your content.. thanks for another great video

[@damiencooper]

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Maybe I’ll do a bit more narration next time. But there will be a full on behind the scenes of this project too where I will be narrating and explaining a lot!

[@escapingdeception5799]

Awesome can’t wait to see that, you do amazing work really inspiring to someone like me. Actually been working on starting a videography business myself so I enjoy learning from you guys..

[@YoussefHallouly]

GOOD thanks for sharing that with us it's worth it 100%, that cine lens did you rent it?

[@damiencooper]

very glad you like it. Might make more of these in the future. No, renting wouldn't make a lot of sense so I went ahead and bought these lenses... Will review all of them soon

[@YoussefHallouly]

@@damiencooper Nice looking fowrd to that review

[@chrisprofit]

Love your content! #TeamSony

[@damiencooper]

Glad you like it despite only using Canon :D

[@ganapati6672]

Did you lav mic all of the subjects and if so who did the sound - also yourself?

[@damiencooper]

All shotgun mic

[@ganapati6672]

And where is the episode, can we see it?

[@damiencooper]

@@ganapati6672 the one I filmed isn’t out yet. Here’s one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4iYkIamiLeSntk

[@ganapati6672]

@@damiencooper ah, I see, it does not sound terrible, however quite echoey due to shotgun. The serie would benefit from proper lav mics and a sound guy with a boom for sure, especially in those noisy places.

[@damiencooper]

@@ganapati6672 absolutely. But adding a sound guy and therefore an assistant editor to a 6 week project would raise the budget unbalanced to the benefits I think
