I built a MICHAEL BAY MACHINE in my Backyard.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Hey guys we have a few Orbits left on the website for this batch, we're extending the $500 off Pro Kit until NAB next week. So if you've been waiting to get one, these are about the same price as they were on kickstarter. Enter code "MAKEARTNOW$500" at check out. See you all at NAB at the Kondor Blue booth and at the DJI booth on April 17th 2pm! www.marblorbit.com/store/p/pro-kit

[@WodiesDad]

does anyone rent these on the east coast?

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

@@WodiesDad we have a few rental units if you wnat. We ship them out for 1 week minimum. DM us on IG Marbl.Orbit and we can set one up.

[@MrSame00723]

not working

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

14:26 Mount it on a car! That will be a Sick shot!

[@wigenite]

that's what I was thinking if it would work at that scale, like say a car out on the salt flats with this thing swinging around it.

[@benjaminespuche9734]

It's insane to have such a stability with this kind of setup (I mean seriously? A slackline?!). My mind is blown.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Same. I honestly thought it wouldn't work.

[@The_CGA]

Sensor stab is definitely playing a role Also he stuck to high FPS slowed down to normal speeds on the longer lenses. Notwithstanding, this process is very replicable and it’s archetypal to the point it could be easily packaged for commercial clients looking for product shots. It’s a great setup for working photographers

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

@@The_CGA The shots look smoother when sensor stabilizer is turned off actually. Its counter intuitive but you fight the stabilization otherwise--- mechanically stabilized using the vibration free Orbit motor is all you need, it's literally as smooth as bearings. There are plenty of shots that are in real time, the ones of me talking are 24fps, I stuck to slowmo because at that focal length and speed those are significantly less nauseating for the viewer, but the realtime shots are just as smooth as the slowmo ones. which is absolutely bonkers. ALL OF THIS I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE I MADE THE VIDEO.

[@kai.05]

​@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL The IBIS part kind of makes sense. I'm guessing it introduced a weird stutter? If the sensor's inertia is pulling it to one side of the camera, I'd assume the IBIS would have issues correcting it

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

@@kai.05 yeah exactly. Especially on the longer Gmaster lenses (70-200 and 200-600) those have their own stabilization, and both combined it was making a correction for horizontal movement when there shouldn't be a correction, introducing a stop-stutter effect.

[@dvdaltizer]

This is my favorite video! So fun seeing you do this in your backyard, and I love seeing you interact with your son. You're a wonderful father, Josh. Love you, man.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

You are so kind Dave. Love u too. See ya At NAB???

[@jacques_crafford]

THIS IS WHY I love your channel so much, always pushing those boundaries! Amazing my dude 🙌🏻🔥

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Thank you!

[@WhySteve]

Fancy seeing you here ;)

[@nazarkantora4791]

Best boy. Amazing tool for filmmaking. You inspire people be creative

[@boomfiziks]

As a dad of a 10 year old, cherish those moments with your child. They are fleeting. Besides, your children will appreciate seeing how their Dad incorporated and spent time with them in years to come.

[@aspensplace3293]

Enjoyed your video and creativity. The inclusion of your son was a lovely surprise.You are both very fortunate to capture such a beautiful memory.

[@LunarGlowMedia]

I think one of the coolest parts of this is that if you don't have a whole stack to drop on the motor it would be pretty easy to set up a manual version of this. I think it would be a lot more stable if you used multiple slack lines, at least with one on the top to prevent it from swinging. This has my DIY side spinning my friend, good shit.

[@Mionwang]

Great distraction from the light stand. Works everytime. Every. Single. Time.

[@Jay_Bird]

Your videos are always just...so good, man. I know that's not the most eloquent way to say it, but it felt the most sincere. Every video you put out is informative, helpful, thoughtful, accurate, and beautiful. Your talents are out of this world!!

[@andrew_nayes]

1:08 OMG! That house!! Can you please make a film about your house, it looks beautiful!

[@KianteMarron]

This is literally insane and the fact that you continue to add new innovations each time is beyond me!!

[@gilscharf]

Now we need a Bayhem video

[@iPhonedo]

Oh wow!

[@wambat125]

I'll be at nab for the first time this year. Super excited to check everything out.

[@Jamesmatthews]

Make Art Later literally has the coolest dad on KZbin

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Heart strings bro! Thanks!

[@CraftComputing]

"I need a product or something" *said while standing under his product* Great stuff as always Josh!

[@scottievee330]

The concept is absolutely there. I can see a long conversation scene where this could make for high drama. I think an eye hook at both far ends on top of the pole and a cable that runs back to the very top above the motor (like a suspension bridge) would help with stability. Set it all up on the ground or hang it on something waist high as far as length and how tight the cable needs to be and just hang the whole set up on the horizontal cable when you got it all set up. JMHO

[@jeromejooste3493]

Yes catadioptrics were never designed for bokeh. In astronomy we use the out of focus star that forms the secondary mirror shadow donut to assist in collimation of the optics.

[@kane01337]

So Damn good - Love love love - Shot at 9:18 !!! Never stop with the Incredible ideas & fun. Also Great moment with your kid - 100% Living the good life

[@TennisUnleashed]

Came for the Josh......stayed for the Yeo. Great light stands bro ;) -Jason Frausto

[@DJILLEE]

Clamps like the Global Truss Quick Rig clamps would probably make your life so much easier and faster when mounting this over head to speed rail.

[@Cullens_Workshop]

The grip in me is enjoying all the problem solving and rigging.

[@briandipierro8865]

I didn't know I would get motion sick from these kind of shots until halfway through the video. There's so much movement going on on the 600mm shot

[@kpj805]

I've been doing 360 Photobooth for a year now. Other than my manufactured ones, I made one out of a repurposed ceiling fan and 1" x10ft aluminum square sticks from home depot.

[@mduoba]

I thought of this simple idea for slow motion "bullet time" like shots. Great idea to use a slackline! Super great idea!!

[@philipbloom]

That was a great video and an incredible demo of the Orbit. Gutted I won’t see it (and mostly you) in Vegas this month. 😞

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Dang. One of my highlights of NAB is seeing you there as well. #notthesame

[@philipbloom]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL I was hoping to set up the Orbit like this in the middle of the Cosmopolitan casino! How cool would that have been? 😂

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Probably not well!

[@philipbloom]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL I remove when you used to be the man who didn’t play by the rules. Well at least one wheel gimbal through there with a 600mm on the camera. I will keep an eye on the Local news for you! 😂

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

@@philipbloom Bahahah 400mm 2.6! Just last week at Sony camp we got the 600mm f4 on there..... YUP! It worked!

[@DSLRguide]

very impressive work, so much smarter than laying curved tracks!

[@LifeExotics]

Butter smooth cinematic shots are so nice 😮

[@ilovebuttersomuch]

Love that the baby toy in the snow is the focus meteor.

[@Northspiffy24]

we were the people in front of you at best buy today!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Bahahah!!!! No way!!

[@tnacrew]

maybe threading the slackline through a long piece of speedrail itself, then using that threaded speedrail as your mounting point might add in some extra stability at the mounting point for your motor?

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

That's not a bad idea!

[@roberthutchinson664]

Great Video As always !!! Your Dog at 1:02 looks a little pissed though!!!

[@JoeMansLand]

This might be the coolest build I have ever seen-dope video!

[@DevAcharya]

YOu ar enot just posting a video to the KZbin, you are just an amazing researcher and most practical man in cinema life ..Appriciate your efforts and time man,Love from INDIA

[@808-Stat3]

Yup. Amazing . I love my orbit. It became my main use for product videography. Scenes and car shots. I love it. And yup ... I ll be finally able to meet my idol at the NAB ;) looking forward to see u there.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Aloha brother!

[@hackiest]

This seems like a cool piece of kit that you would use a couple of times and then let it collect dust for years. Might be good for rental houses though.

[@romerovisuals]

That’s extremely tonehlicious 😂, I love it!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

The TONNNEHHHHHH

[@AuthenTech]

ok, this is pretty cool

[@gamedict9733]

Hi, suggestion to use aluminum extrusions as support and springs for counterbalance in a mechanical system. Aluminum extrusions have a high strength-to-weight ratio and are easy to manufacture and assemble, which can improve performance and manufacturing efficiency. Additionally, using springs for counterbalance can provide a constant force over a range of motion, which can offset the weight of moving parts or provide smooth and controlled movement. When considering these materials and components, it is important to analyze the specific requirements of the application to ensure optimal performance and safety, as well as the overall cost-effectiveness of the design.

[@RVisuette]

The triangle suspension looks like Jimmy jib crane tension cables, so was good idea.

[@keithhesh]

One year in and I have accomplished so many holes in my ceilings lol. Slack line is dope looks even cooler with the cinema arm.

[@dodmedia]

Damn dude! That's seriously cool. Stick a gimbal on there in FPV mode for tilts and rolls and you'll break the multiverse!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

You know whats funny, is i did that last year for my build video of the studio....have not released it yet! but thats in the works!

[@SamMasghati]

I secretly hoped that you would do the ToTouchAnEmo Style dance that he does with his drone. 👯

[@Deerob]

Absolutely insane shots. Very well done!

[@andrewzumbach8151]

Okay now given enough space, flip the camera outward. Have a circular track around the outside, have an actor running with the camera and you get an infinite distance run with a crazy background. Oh yeah I'm sure there might be a few details to work out...

[@elliotmarks06]

All those shots were cool, but the one at 10:41 really blew me away! You even got the cool sound design too!

[@Iamthelao]

what a great idea. cool stuff

[@mjgfromDDD]

I enjoyed this, but I REALLY enjoyed the Father/Son moment you showed. My dream still, to work at home or around my family more so I can have those moments often. Thank you sir!

[@k1k13004]

your obsession for this orbit thing is fascinating. I love it. You are unstoppable

[@robjoyce-lifestyle6464]

Wow just wow, love it! Keep it up!!!

[@dayhalk]

You could probably add another slack line connected to your deck to pickup the height on the orbit.

[@KevinMullett]

Love the content. Stopped to give a thumbs up and this comment when you stopped for your son. 👍

[@AmericanFirsttttt]

Glad your BACK!!! missed your great content!!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

More to come! Yo!

[@CliffKajun]

Nice!!!!! Might have to try one of these on our 40ft boom lift 😎😅

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

do it. do it

[@craigstynardt4990]

45lbs payload? Hell yeah this will even take an Alexa with a Cooke anamorphic! I want it! Also an idea: Put a Zoom on and have the AC push in during the rotation!

[@colinkeyes2054]

DAMN. Props for shooting Gwen Singer. 🥵

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

She's cool in real life! What a sweetheart!

[@PavSZ]

Josh, you are a genius! (in denim)

[@HobbyVolt]

This is AMAZING!

[@DLivingston]

Very cool! no, I need to figure out a budget route for my soon to be new office.

[@matterform4691]

Ah your product, I've been waiting for this. I can't wait till the orbit base is back in stock.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

We have 2 base units, contact [e-mail]. See what he can do for you with price. Can't offer the $500 off but he can work with you.

[@alexandermuffler]

The moment I was scared you might reached the limit of the Orbit, you introduced the extension. This is the most excited I have been, watching a video in a while. Love your work and personality 🙌🏽 Best from Berlin

[@Gonewithjon]

I love when you do nutty stuff. Great work

[@vegardpedersen]

wow, I am impressed! Very cool design!

[@lucinematic]

I never thought I could use my slackline for the filmmaking!!! Amazing 👏 🤩

[@AJ_UK_LIVE]

Josh, that looks wonderful. Great job innovating!

[@BuildItMakeIt]

This was amazing! It looked soooo good.

[@BrahmaMithinga]

😮 i couldn't even imagine 😅 ... Very creative setup

[@goliathonscave9834]

I loved this, but once you started extending the rod, one quote came to mind...: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.” LOL! Thumbs up and Subscribed!

[@Wayne_Nero]

Way cool machine!!

[@RICKYSERTV]

Those shoots are amazing!!

[@AustinRoss]

Michael Bay is going to see this video and try it now.... guarantee it. That guy loves to try new and different camera techniques.

[@lanceward540]

Lmao. Lightstand part had me laughing 😂

[@bruce-le-smith]

very cool setup, thanks for sharing! and yes, if your son expresses interest in you and your work that is always the time to stop work for a few moments and ask him what he's thinking and tell him what you're thinking, 100%

[@roupouw7193]

Those are amazing shots!

[@davidgolden]

I thumbs up the second your sun appears

[@leahleeds4289]

Ahh! I’m so excited for you. I appreciate the way you teach

[@LUCHTHANS4]

I need a light version on someones head. I'd live to see the double parallax while driving a bike and while driving a car. Imagine a car chase with a clean and constant 360° around while there is absolute mayhem all around the car

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

The wind would probably make the shots almost unusable. I could be wrong but this version would def not hold up strapped to a car while moving. You would need to invest 100k into a custom built rig like a TopCrane or something. Could work for green screen or virtual production though!

[@joemamamia1751]

Holy shit. This is incredible! 😮‍💨🤌🏼

[@nickhurley.realtor728]

Always solid content. Comment to propel you forward 😘

[@IliaCinema]

It would be interesting to compare the result with inspire drone footage. Thanks!

[@syahbu9754]

Amazing shots and idea!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Glad you think so! 🙏

[@premiumparis]

Always pushing the limits !! I would have love to see the final setup with a different lens, wouldn’t have to be that tight… or maybe using the FX3 in super 35 mode

[@Angelold]

Monitor+ also works for A7C! Nice work Josh

[@wittworks]

Sick.

[@GBOtech-ukraine]

Bravo and thank you for sharing your expeience. This is very valuable and inspiring.

[@_41Fingers]

That Reflex "Donut" Lens is crazy!!!!I wonder what putting shapes on the front of the lens would do??....Great work as usual!

[@langdons2848]

Great demonstration and a really interesting tool, thank you for sharing it. (The look on your dogs face in that last shot! I'd be checking your shoes before you put them on for a while...)

[@SpedSpedding]

Sweet video man. 🤘🏻

[@shoop4040]

WOW ! How fun is that - That’s awesome. Continue to have the time of your life - ps love the back yard -

[@intrepidscotland8091]

That 500mm Tokina is a mirror lens. I remember lusting after lenses like this as a kid in about 1978! They’ve been around a while.

[@lerecklessbadger2411]

Over 10 billion donuts are consumed in the US every year. Donuts are so much part of american popular culture. I first saw them in Starky & Hutch in the 70’s. It’s only in the last decade we started to see them commercialised in Europe.

[@matthayesphotography]

Personally love the bokeh from the Tokina lens shots - they looked so much better than the Sony lens!

[@MaLuSc]

Nice man, really nice

[@SSGrille]

I really like that you seem to be able to read my mind and try the stuff I would be trying if I had one of these. I think the next step is to use some kind of aluminum track for the camera and counterweight, triangle the top of course, then add another motor in the middle, center of gravity, and use that to pull them closer together, smaller radius, or out, larger radius while spinning. A pulley on each end of the track and just coil the pull cable in the direction you need to go. Looking forward to the warehouse shots. Keep doing what you do, this is great stuff.

[@BYWhistory]

2:26 oh shit, Gwen Singer!!!

[@Tvj_films8452]

this dude does all the time consuming experimenting so we dont have to. thank you!!

[@stephencorley]

Next LEVEL 🔥🔥 YOU'RE inspiration Josh!! 💯

[@LeeBailes]

That was the most dubious looking dog shot in the intro lol

[@fmh357]

IMHO you should use a carbon fiber tube of at least one and a half times your current diameter. I think it could be have as much weight and a whole lot stiffer. From the genesis of this setup until now it's a truly awesome and cinematic invention/tool. I've watched many videos with you in them and admire your work. Thank you and keep it up.
