Eps 25. Shot on iPhone 15 Pro - Japan No Omoide 2024

[@indradinho88]

Holy mother of god, this is one of the best travel video that I've ever seen on KZbin. Just capture the essence of the place, and no "cinematic" bullcrap that plague KZbin (ie: excessive use of slow motion, overuse of fancy camera movement, and uneven cut-to-cut editing). Feels very personal yet people still can enjoy it, like a movie from a masterful auteur. The fact that this video taken with a literally pocketable device blown my mind, too.

[@vedroelcitra]

@@indradinho88 haha you took it too far, but thank you that’s what we’re after. Just to enjoy your trip and make good memories.

[@Phata207]

5 years ago those “bullcrap” were literally the pinnacle of travel vlogs. I used to like those too, and I feel the same way you do now. We are just so flooded with content that we began to hate on the old things. Wonder how the “best travel video” will look like in 5 years from now..

[@susisorglos4240]

I love your comment!!! Perfect conclusion!😍

[@GerardoBecerra597]

So I know what you mean but to achieve the simple and gorgeous aesthetics that show this video you need to have a wide knowledge on cinematic. There is a lot more use of cinematic than the average youtuber with super zoom lenses.

[@vedroelcitra]

I learn from a friend that it's not all about the skill, technique, and tools. It's about how you "feel". I'm not sure how to explain it, it's something that you have to find yourself. My advice, don't do it for social media, that will only make your video a noise in the sea of trends.

[@antnguyen]

You know, I've been waiting and waiting for the iPhone to improve to the point where I can leave my Sony cameras at home during travel. While there's still great benefit to lugging it around for true depth of field bokeh, and a larger sensor for much greater low-light performance, videos like yours make me feel like we're there. I've been holding on to my 12 Pro Max for some time now but I think I'm ready to jump back in for the 16 in a few months time. Amazing work, impressive grading and composing.

[@antnguyen]

Just to nerd out for a moment, you're shooting ProRes via the Blackmagic app, with the Sandmarc 58mm and nd. Edits on Davinci but no dehancer. How are you attaching the nd to the sandmarc, and also, it seems you have a bit of halation happening in the highlights. Is that a product of the sandmarc or is that produced in post? Again, nice work sir

[@antnguyen]

Actually, I just watched the video you posted after this lol, just I'm just still curious about those halation haha

[@vedroelcitra]

@@antnguyen love the enthusiasm! Re: the halation yes somehow the sandmarc gives you a bit of that which I love! It’s more prominent when you attach it to the built in telephoto

[@antnguyen]

@@vedroelcitra Damn. Okay. I was comparing it with the moment lens equivalent but since I'll be shooting film as well in Japan come November, I think I'll lean into what Sandmarc has to offer. Love your work, hope you blow up soon, highly underrated channel right now.

[@vedroelcitra]

@@antnguyen i’d say both moment and sandmarc will do the job. It’s just sandmarc is slightly cheaper and gives you free phone case hahaha. Enjoy your trip!

[@thuychuong5039]

- Did all of your shots use the sandmarc 58mm tele? - Could you make a video on how to quickly change the blackmagic manual setting when we take the shot? Because when I travel, it takes me quite a lot of time to change the shutter speed, iso,... and then when you change between the original lens, the exposure will change, then you have to adjust them again. Really love how you shoot on the iphone, I have watched your videos more than ten times haha

[@vedroelcitra]

@@thuychuong5039 most of them are using 58 but sometimes I use just the built in ones. For the first days, I was also struggling to adjust the settings on the go. You just need time get used to it, see what works and what doesn’t for you. That’s why I use vnd filter so there’s less mucking around with the app.
