[@lorienhuddleston]

You’re amazing Eric!! So excited to see what comes of this documentary. Really cool getting to see a little into the BTS and learn more about gear at the same time 👏

[@TuckerPearce]

Excited to see this film, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

This looks epic. Love the aesthetic. Excited to follow along.

[@joelhypponen]

This is looking amazing, let's gooo!

[@TonyWodarck]

Dude so pumped for this

[@therealhenrywu]

Great work Eric!

[@iamchrisyap]

Stoked for this

[@ryanangelstudio]

I have a c70 and can’t wait to hop on a doc opportunity like this. You’re killin it man.. congrats!!

[@ReimannPembroke]

So excited for this Eric! I bet file management is a real pain haha

[@joaquinnolasco5210]

Thanks for walking/talking with me at the airport Eric and Braxton. Can't wait to see the full documentary! It looks amazing so far!

[@EricFloberg]

Joaquin! Man, thank you so much for approaching us and chatting! Super encouraged by you, my man!! thanks for the kind words!

[@kwasnakawa]

I can't wait!

[@disclosed.account4091]

AMAZING!

[@wazlght5884]

so pumped

[@FilmSteve]

Your pacing for talking over the vision, the gear, and the challenges/pros and cons is excellent. Carries the viewer through nicely. Can’t wait to see more (hopefully)!

[@EricFloberg]

BTS all year long!! Thank you!!

[@leejamesphoto]

Im more excited for this doc than any film this year.

[@MatthewMcBrayer]

This looks incredible. Also, you're making the R5 look like BUTTER. I could live with that film look for the rest of my life

[@geneyoon11]

This is seriously going to be incredible.

[@callanlangen9954]

Beautiful work Eric! I'm curious about what you're doing for colour on the C200 raw footage, cause it looks GREAT. Looking forward to the full doc!

[@jacobpadilla3709]

Hyped for this man! It's looking sick so far. Proxies are definitely going to be your best friend as your project grows. Just wrapped a feature as an assistant editor, and proxies were our lifeline to manage the massive amounts of data. Our lead editor also was using the M1. Cheers. Can't wait for what's next.

[@EricFloberg]

Great insight. Thanks so much! I think that’s gonna be the plan 🤙🏼

[@justinburgan]

Super stoked to watch this! If you're ever in Nashville and need some extra hands, would love to help! Cheers bruddah 🤙

[@themellowhost]

What a brilliant video!

[@EricFloberg]

thank you!!

[@mattumlandd]

LET'S GO BOYS!

[@Lifewithdarien]

So cool!!

[@peteydyer]

Filmed my buddies 100 mile race last year and totally agree with on shooting for coverage. Sometimes you need to capture then pick and choose the visuals in post.

[@SamNewton]

so pumped for this

[@alvaroapolinar5931]

this is fire!

[@ThomasBocage]

1 minute in and I am blown away. Incredible stuff brother

[@EricFloberg]

Thank you, Thomas!! Really appreciate those words. :)

[@jusren]

This is sooo awesome to see and crucial insight for any creative! Thanks for this Eric! Alsoooo, what font are you using for the talk points? I love it! 😍

[@MayurMahapatraFilms]

Hi Eric. I admire your journey from a wedding photographer to a documentary film maker. Of course your still into wedding and stuff. But it’s inspiring for me. I used to be a mechanical engineer and trying to be a film maker .. at least on KZbin. Take care buddy..

[@johnd1710]

Super insightful for someone who's also interested in documentary shooting. Thanks!

[@EricFloberg]

So good to hear!

[@bertocentofante]

that ryan booth convo, so cool, his street videos are incredible

[@wwonders3]

thank you for this i am currently doing a documentary and this give me ideas thank you

[@fotografamos4083]

If the BTS looks THIS good, I'm already salivating for the final doc.

[@General111100]

love the warm tones!!! what white balance is that?

[@TrentErwin]

BTS shots are gorgeous 👏🏻 Get the C70. It’s amazing. I’m coming from the C200 as well. That DGO sensor is noticeable. I think you’ll find the C70 body better than you think for this style of doc.

[@SolisCreative]

Eric Floberg + Ryan booth 🙌🏼🔥👏🏼

[@charlescapehart2221]

Looks cool! When is this dropping?

[@jonstamm]

Can confirm: the Tentacle Sync is worth it. Used it for a couple years on multicam studio shoots.

[@EricFloberg]

pumped to start using it 🤘🏼

[@brandonpetersen10]

100% agree. Waited waaaay too long to pick up a pair.

[@CheezyFeet]

Seeing this late but super inspiring for a project I’m hoping to tell. If you still need any skates may be able to help

[@seanquincy5825]

go guys.. inspired

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

So incredible! Very excited about this project.

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks, dude!

[@holdmedear]

I would recommend keeping the c200 and r5, and then just renting a cinema camera on a project basis. When I started doing this instead of buying ALL the gear i need to create sth, I felt more free to choose the right tools (body and lenses) for professional projects.

[@holdmedear]

I would jump ship to a RAID 5 NAS system for your file management :)

[@craigjohnston8235]

When does the doc come out?

[@coloradoweddingphotographer]

The 4K 10 bit on the c70 is super clean and the recent raw upgrade is 👌The file sizes aren’t too bad either. The only gripe I have with it is the top handle. Coming from the C200 it’s not super rig friendly and feels kind of cheap. Overall it’s a great B cam. Love how the doc is looking though. Cant wait to see more of it!

[@EricFloberg]

Great to know. I’m hoping to rig it in a way that gets me stoked. If not, I’m definitely interested in their next RF mount cine cameras. Will probably snag one of those too.

[@KwyjiboVanDeKamp]

Where to find the final documentary?

[@dakotabuttrey]

If you aren't already, I'd start using a program that offers checksum verification for copying your cards. I personally use Hedge (there's other options) and it really gives you the peace of mind when transferring your media and immediately wiping the card to use it again. I personally would never use Finder to copying anything slightly important. Also, even using a basic file management structure and sticking to it the entire time would be super helpful (ProjectName > Day01 > Footage), and then from there you can start building out your project in Premiere and organizing things further within Premiere itself instead of messing with the files in Finder. One of the reasons to never change file names and location of the files is if you are using multiple backups (local / offsite), and you have a drive failure and have to relink files you could really create a disaster with a massive project and endless files that now no longer match the originals.

[@vital.senise]

when will you release it?

[@ajlskate]

Did you say your editing machine? Sry if I missed that

[@JacobStickel]

Hey I see that Rōst hat!

[@Beaukester]

How the hell are you able to shoot the R5 in RAW without over heating???! I am traveling to Portugal this summer for a fashion client. I would love to use my R5 to keep my kit small but it has overheated on me a ton in the past. Thanks in advance!

[@fotografamos4083]

Where to in Portugal? Let me know if you need a photographer.

[@ryansulak]

how did you get the snorricam shots of joe? was that handbuilt or did you rent it out?

[@EricFloberg]

Bought a snorricam rig 🤘

[@MiniatureChickenChannel]

I just kept runnin.....and runnin......

[@davidweflen]

Rick, this looks absolutely unreal. Can also confirm that I've vomited at also every location you've film at in Nashville

[@CoveringFish]

Hear me out. Export in 10 bit. You’re getting so much banding in the shadows. The light looks great but not if it falls apart. H.265 has a 10 bit and 4:2:2 option

[@Braxtonwallis]

Dang my dogs were barkin too after all that walking

[@EricFloberg]

Braxton is the real MVP even though he's blacklisted by Joe on all socials.

[@jfitz25]

I am a hard no on Greer. But the effort and skills put into this documentary are top notch.

[@EricFloberg]

I hope this doc allows you to see Joe in a different light that you haven't before.

[@noahreaves1636]

Where is the doc?

[@EricFloberg]

Hoping for premieres this spring!

[@alanimber]

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@fulltimecasualnz]

Why are you sat in the dark? 😆
