[@TheVBC]

Congrats on 100k!

[@GakuLange]

Thank you so much!!

[@lads.7715]

These were the greatest little videocams back in the day. You could just set them down on a table to keep recording and the lens switching was cool.

[@nexxys1]

incredible work as always dude. Would love to know your prep such as shotlisting based on the requests for such campaigns. i find it the most difficult to do the pre production work for shoots.

[@brokensippycup]

firee

[@SheKnowsWho]

goat

[@SupremeCinema901]

Great video.. I would have did the same type of edit maybe more AWGE asap rocky style zooms and photo overlay visuals with a glow effect and a lens with a lens that has good bokeh, actually amazing video bro u just gave me an idea for a spec shoot

[@dolotesta2333]

truly amazing! What lights did you use in the video?

[@prod.dailydailydaily]

I know this might be a long shot but would love to link up when I am in Japan next month 🥰

[@walkwithamos]

Loved this video and the final edit. Did you have to get any filming permits to shoot in these locations?

[@kevinxonthebeat]

Idk shit about videography but this was super interesting to watch 🔥

[@daxdotrod]

Shout out James Baxter.

[@Frankyin1]

Want to see your color grading process!

[@jonsf]

loved the ad and appreciated the breakdown so much I checked out the masterclass. super interested in enrolling. is there perhaps a sale or discount coming up? (:

[@ryotasuzuki6209]

Gakuさん、日本語字幕付けてくれるとめっっっっっっっっっっっっっっちゃ嬉しいです🔥🔥🔥

[@Havenotats]

🧙🏼‍♂

[@rcw6534]

Colour grading tutorial please!!

[@arodrigueznyc1]

I wonder if the new yzy pod ad took inspiration from 6:29

[@QKhanhAJC]

Can you share about how you balance the FX3 with the 10-18 f4 lens on your RS2 gimbal? I cannot balance tilt axis with this lens :

[@skritzo]

I just snagged one of the only two listed working CCD-SC7 Handycams on ebay 😭🥳. Thanks dude I'll have that setup soon. Love me some authentic tape look. 😁😁

[@skritzo]

So I finally got all the pieces in the mail (Sony off ebay, Powerplay off aliexpress, 3d printed powerplay Cable Spacer (Devbuild on Etsy). Here's some things to note if you plan on building one ➡: Gaku has his powerplay mounted upside down for some reason? probably because of the cable orientation, but I easily had extra slack to have it right side up. The provided coil cable can be modded so it doesn't have the annoying DC and fan wires dangling around (I snipped those with a cable cutter, they aren't needed ever for this setup and are independent of the AV cable). If you get the cable spacer (because the powerplay AV cable doesn't work when all-the-way inserted) then to mount the powerplay in its grey headmount shell, you have to actually slice the mount with a razorblade to make it fit the spacing adapter, which I went and did and it fits great. Then just remove the foam from its backing and stick to the Sony handycam monitor's plastic edge with Alien Tape (most of these cam screens are busted anyway, basically worthless for viewing). Now all that's left is to grab a custom leather handgrip for the setup off etsy. ALSO, you'll want to grab extra 18500 batteries and a charger off ebay for the powerplay (the included ones suck), and maybe a few extra NPF batteries of the same size to the handycam's because its battery fits a very specific space in the grip of the camera (I believe they are 1000 mAh size. find one with USB-C for quick charging 🧠).

[@skritzo]

Also, you can turn the native screen off with a switch below it to the right. the leftmost button on that same area also turns off the display lines on the actual AV feed since you aren't recording to tape it will auto display the "not recording" lines

[@skritzo]

If anyone actually does go and replicate this setup let me know if you have questions and I can help ✅

[@skritzo]

*correction: modern NPF batteries that can fit this SC7 are higher capacity for the same size. so it's not 1000 mAh. On ebay I found a Kastar battery of the same size that's 2900 mAh for example

[@eladbari]

So when capturing via PowerPlay- there's no interlacing /de-interlacing process before editing? What type of file format does it output for ya? (resolution/framrate/mp4?)

[@ZackLombardo]

Could we get a color grading breakdown?

[@v0w3l54]

With the handheld shots do you use the fx3 as is or with a rig for a bit more stability or is it warp stabilizer in post?

[@lordlass6402]

please do a color grading tutorial

[@caschi9929]

very interesting. how many iso was it shot at?

[@distritofilmes]

I want to know where did you buy the mini Eistein behind your mac? hahahaha

[@zach_deloach]

do you typically find your music prior to shooting, or after?

[@zxidy]

any tips on how to get more work like this, I think I have enough experience but I find it hard to get noticed or find ways to approach brands for work

[@Mr.duc63]

I really would like to know how you find the Right Song for the edit!

[@caleb9819]

Amazing how VHS original noise is NOT killed by YT codec. Can't believe what I see: YT actually "brings some noise" OMG

[@lilsaturn339]

at 4:55 i notice the color change. u shoot in awb ?

[@Kylelanceobrienfilm]

What motion blur do you use? I think you said it RSMB?

[@kristoff_xxiii]

w🔥w

[@kenkobayashi10]

Color grading?

[@crismotions]

Did you shoot in SLOG3?

[@nicklausponte1680]

COLOR GRADING breakdown?

[@RapAnimeMangaSpace]

That film camera the one with two built in lenses, is there a website that I maybe can purchase it?

[@skritzo]

ebay

[@Graceless]

First

[@timtherascal]

Dude what cable is that from the camera to power play I’m struggling with mine.

[@skritzo]

search DEVBUILD A/V cable. The problem is that most video quarter inches don't seat correctly in the Powerplay. In this video it looks like he's just using a modified version of the stock a/v DC cable that comes with the Powerplay. from my quick research you don't even need the DC aspect so look up what I posted ✌🏼

[@sevakdilanchian]

BTS is the daily vlog of 2024 🔥🔥🔥

[@Alice8000]

Great vid. But sorry 1. I LIVE in Japan. 2. I bought Arc'tyrx from the factory when i lived in Canada. 3. I made FULL feature movies. But good job man keep going you can make it one day too.

[@shootingbysal]

[@DRACOFURY]

I got 3 Hi8 And 1 Dv8 Hardest thing is to transfer the footage to my pc so I can format it in MP4. 💢💢💢😤😤🤬😡🤬 Uh Mane... I may have yo invest in that capture device you gpt there 😅

[@YungRamo]
