Howdy Peeps. I'm super rusty at making this video and it took me FOREVER to make. But I hope it's worth it. I'll be online for the PREMIERE to chat with you - looking forward and I'll see you back here!!

[@edwhyyou]

Hey Micheal, this is Edmond. The photographer you met last year by the restaurant in the neighborhood when you walked the dog. Glad to see you made another new video! Please keep sharing knowledge with people here. It’s very helpful. Cheers!

[@thecarcheckerschweiz]

Just came across you again. Finally new stuff to learn🎉😊

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Thanks for coming back!

[@chakk0]

Uff you know what, sometimes KZbin feels like you've seen everything and then... You find a jewel like this video ❤❤

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Thanks and that's part of my mission - to make videos that don't exist yet.

[@chakk0]

@@ThePhotographyRebuttal I have to say, you achieved that to 100% 🫡

[@SK-mc7uw]

I love your channel! It's such a goldmine of industry knowledge that you really don't get anywhere else. It really opens your eyes from being an Instagram car photographer to an actual car photographer. Much appreciation for these videos!

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Glad you enjoy it! I hope to provide some context to KZbin photography which explains the name of my channel. Thank you for watching.

[@robertoh5120]

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

I've worked on few big car commercials, photography and video, and to me this is the best and accurate ''tutorial/bts/guide'' I've ever seen by far...

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Wow, thanks!

[@ZombieRofl]

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Migs!! What an absolute pleasure to see and hear you again. I remember starting out I had sent you messages on Instagram. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me then, and for sharing with us now.

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Any time! Feels good to be back!

[@leedodge4227]

Thanks Michael, good and necessary info, to continue in this genre, you will need CGI skills.

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

I think so, yes! But only for advertising photography.

[@benjaminperez4887]

Welcome back! Always appreciate the incredible information and insight you provide.Keep up the amazing work.

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

[@85liez35]

idk, this video just showed up on my feed and heard him saying it been a while not posting stuffs and I checked his last video. 2 YEARS AGO. No wonder why I haven't heard of this guy, lol

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Ha ha - a while means 2 years

[@kinyip181]

[@metternich05]

Wow you are back, and with such a great content. Good to see you pivoted to CGI. Soon we all need to incorporate AI as well.

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Actually I got into CGI years ago so this video is long overdue!

[@AussieMoses]

Another great video! Good to see you again. Please keep it up!

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Thanks, will do!

[@paultrunfull3324]

Nice one, and thank you

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Thank you too

[@ՓՓՓ]

Would love to see more about this automated(?) setup @ 18:20. Seems incredibly useful!

[@lucastamphoto]

welcome back!

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Thanks Lucas - good to be back!

[@samohyesss]

You're not kidding. This is the best content on the subject right now! Completely understand that it can't go longer and deeper into details but the amount of information in this general overview is absolutely insightful! Looking forward to more.

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Much appreciated!

[@baokhanhvu6603]

I’m shooting cars too, automotive lifestyle with real car, real location and my pain was trying to match the image quality with international photographer. But it seems impossible without CGI. This video helps alot, thanks so much for sharing buddy.

[@christophelemarchand78]

Great to see you are back in the game !

[@LucasJohnsonVisuals]

Yesss, so hyped for another video! Always wanted to peak inside the world of CGI like this. Would love another video on this subject again in the future!

[@ricardooyaretoucher]

I'm glad to see you producing your content again! It's nice to see you explaining some things not usual on the internet. I hope to see your photos/jobs as soon as possible! :)

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

I hope so too! Thanks for watching!

[@PLongno]

Looking forward to this!

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

How was it? I'm a bit rusty 😁

[@deepspiritmedia9485]

Been taking on partial and full cgi projects lately. Definitely a game changer since it also doesn't create any barrier to imagination. Already used real subject vs cg environment and full cgi and it's been great. Of course I have a few basics on cgi myself also from keyshot like you shown but I let the cg artist do he's thing and also the retoucher. I feel that a team made of people that are good in their part will make for a better outcome rather than trying to do it all myself. Just curious which motorized head you using for the domes? Keep up the videos it's been awhile

[@KubaMachnikowski]

Great you're back Michael! Thanks for sharing, especially stuff that noone else talks about! Appreciate a lot.

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

More to come and feels good to be back! Thanks for watching!

[@masaytaka]

Thank you so much for this knowledge and behind-the-scenes! I’m wondering how AI is going to impact this process… perhaps a video idea 😜

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

Good question! Let's see how AI develops before I make any conclusions.

[@Larrious28]

Thank you for making such an informative video! What’s the name of the automatic tripod head for the dome shots?

[@webcatcher360]

Hello Sir just want to ask what software they used in 5:17? pls advice thanks

[@ThePhotographyRebuttal]

That's KEYSHOT. 1 of the easier 3D softwares out there

[@webcatcher360]

@@ThePhotographyRebuttal thanks Sir noted on that.

[@webcatcher360]

Thanks for sharing

[@marioboss79]

The problem with CGI is that the end result is very artificial and has nothing to do with photography. An example is the official wallpapers from Ferrari, which look worse than, for example, the models in the Gran Turismo game. Nothing can replace real photos. Unfortunately, companies want to save money on everything and soon Midjourney will be making all the materials :/

[@zambodii]

@thephotographyrebuttal Glad youre back! ive been binge watching your videos, im a car photographer and have some questions that didnt get answered in your car photography video. Is there somewhere i couldd contact you and ask you directly? thanks fo ryour time love your videos they really help out @
