No problem at all! Happy you like it! I’m using the Small rig RC120B as my primary Key light then I’m using a pretty large parabolic soft box with a honey come mesh for direction. Camera wise I’m using a Sony A7IV shooting 10 bit 422 in slog 3. Lens is a Sony Gmaster 35mm f1.4 prime lens. There’s a couple other small variables to make the setup work but those are the primary tools. Of course there’s then a color grade ontop of the footage as well.

[@thomaswilliams7601]

Really appreciate you getting back to me dude. Very useful information. I wouldn't have expected the large honeycomb soft box. Not sure why it always surprises me that such a large amount of light is used to produce a certain quality of light being a painter I really shouldn't be surprised. That 35mm G is absolutely gorgeous isn't. I still have an A7R2 and the video quality is excellent.

[@dell1032]

I think the reason for the releasing two chips in the same year is because Mac revenue dropped 34% year over year and they put this out as a course correction. The fact is the only SOC selling well is the M1 line and the M1 chip is so good a lot of people cannot justify spending $2,000 to get a M3 chip minus crappy specs. I have a M1 Air and it's the best computer I've ever owned. You have a great M2 machine and I think you'll be into it for years to come.

[@boogidaball]

I 100% agree that that’s the reason and that’s why I get into that concept when I recommend what I think should happen to add value to the silicon releases. If we all knew M2 was releasing next year and had been enjoying M1 for the last 3 years I think there would be more demand and the M2 chips would be much better as well. Idk. Apple has been blowing their load and they need to slow down in order for consumers to desire a new product when it hits the market.

[@gaiustacitus4242]

Microsoft will experience the same drop in sales if it ever moves solely to ARM processors. Many users still need a computer that can run x86/x64 based software. I typically buy whatever I want, but not everyone can spend $15K to $20K yearly on computers and gadgets.

[@ehenningsen]

​​@@gaiustacitus4242Microsoft doesn't produce processors. However - Intel, AMD, Snapdragon, NVIDIA (starting 2024/2025) and a few others do for PC

[@gaiustacitus4242]

@@ehenningsen Really? Who knew? Duh... Microsoft is moving its products to ARM based platforms. Why? Because it thinks that is the future. If it begins developing all new products natively for ARM, then it will be making a mistake that is very expensive to recover from. You're obviously unaware that software only performs well when it runs in native mode. A translation layer causes software designed and written to run on the Intel/AMD processors to run slowly or to not function properly on ARM CPUs.

[@ehenningsen]

@gaiustacitus4242 Microsoft isn't moving away from x86. It still is more of a powerhouse than ARM for most processes. ARM is specialized, and what some of the PC-based companies are doing is going to ARM, RISC-V and the main power machines will still utilize x86 with RISC-V architecture for specific encodings. That is the direction. It is going to be fun to watch. Let's thank Cal-Berkley for continuing to innovate the RISC standards

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

The reason for two Mac this year is because usually Apple releases MacBook in 3rd quarter somewhere around October. Last year for the M2's they had distribution issues resulting in a delay to early this year 2023. So the M2's are the one's that had a usual release date and now Apple hopefully is back on schedule.

[@boogidaball]

Hopefully. Still think it shouldn’t be an annual release.

[@scottdpeterstv]

The M3 was big for 2 groups of people. 3D professionals waiting for Apple to finally support hardware accelerated raytracing (not available on the M2) and those on PC looking to change. For those already on an M1 or M2 and only doing video editing, this wasn't for you. Agian, this is NOT the same chip as the M2 if you are a 3D creative. It's a segment Apple has ignored for the last decade and are now trying to win back.

[@boogidaball]

That’s a fair argument. Still would’ve rather seen the M2 not happen when it did and the M3 release be the M2 chip with all the m3 features.

[@scottdpeterstv]

@@boogidaball I think there are also market forces to consider. Intel just launched the Intel Core Ultra chips and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite ARM chip is about to debut in laptops maybe as soon as CES 2024 next week. From all early accounts the Qualcomm chip is besting the M2 in bother performance and efficiency (though TBD on that). Apple couldn't allow themselves to be bested after planting the flag of efficiency superiority in just the 2nd generation of the M series along with dipping sales. Being a 3D artist, I've been waiting for the return of the Mac for a decade so this was a very welcomed upgrade for that side of the creative community.

[@jimtipton8888]

Apple loves me because I traded a perfectly fine M1 Max 10/24/32 for a M3 Pro 11/14/36. Crazy right? The only reason I did it was because the M1 was a 16” and I really wanted a 14”. The 16” was just way too big for my 4 wheel office so it never left my desk. Space Black was a bonus. Hope it doesn’t suck compared to my M1 Max. Cheers!

[@boogidaball]

I HEAVILY doubt you’ll be disappointed. I made the same move from a 16 inch Max to a 14 inch purely for the size. Unless you’re working a studio with extremely dense work flows I heavily doubt you’ll feel a difference. The space black really is a gorgeous bonus.

[@mikekaylor1226]

I think Apple wanted to release the M2 4-5 months sooner than they were able, because of production issues. I'm glad they didn't artificially wait with the M3 just to put distance between releases. They had the new 3 nm ready; put them out there. I disagree that there isn't much difference in the M2 and M3. Certain tests that I've seen on KZbin show a major difference, and the base M3 gives the M2 Pro a run for its money, which is impressive in less than a year; the M3 Max is right on par with the M1 Ultra. I bought an M2 Pro-Pro in May, and I also felt the pangs of envy, but I have a great laptop, and you can't keep up. I think we should all be glad that Apple is pushing new chips out so quickly. We are not going to see a jump like the M1 was over Intel, with every new generation of chips, but the ump from the original M1 to M2 and now M3 is pretty impressive. The gains in GPU performance is nothing short of amazing. They will push the Nvidia chips pretty hard in the next few years.

[@boogidaball]

Should we be happy they are releasing them so quickly? I know I said this in the video but I genuinely would prefer to wait and get excited for the next big step in apples computing every 3 years rather than a minor upgrade every year that gets a collective “that’s cool”.

[@cit0110]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@boogidaballthe thing is you don't have to buy every release. people that are happy with the M1s can stay put. People that just got m2s are in a great spot. People like me who bought a high end laptop right before the m1s drop and saw how amazing those new chips were and counted the days till they could upgrade can now jump on the new releases. luckily for people that like having the newest specs the resale is great and there a lot of people that don't mind getting into later gens. If i wasn't such a damn sucker for black i would've got the M2 with higher specs than my m3

[@boogidaball]

@@cit0110 I agree with that. Even if it was a release every 3 years I don’t think everyone would upgrade. More people would for sure but not everyone. The sales are very low compared to the initial release and I just don’t think there’s a demand for new silicone chips yet. The sales numbers kind of back that up.

I agree on why Apple doesn't need to upgrade every year on chips. My current MBP is a 2012 Core i7 maxed out spec wise. Yep, it makes sense for me to upgrade to the M3 Pro. My desktop in a M1 mini with 512 SSD. Its decent but the M3 Pro will be an descent upgrade for my usage. Light FCP X and Lightroom and Photoshop usage.

You will LOVE the m3 pro.

[@yornavSY]

I run Capture One Pro 21 and all latest Affinity programs... on a 2013 full spec, I7 quad core (Ivy bridge virtual 8cores), 16GBRAM and 512SSD. It still performs very very well! Only now after 10 years, bottle necked and stuck with Big Sur OS, I start to think about investing in a new Apple computer... But basicly I can process Photo's perfectly with a 10 year old computer...

[@DaveDFX]

I see a lot of video editors complain about render times not being faster. I know some people are not into specs but I do stress that consumers need to learn about the way Apple Silicon works and use system monitoring software to actually see what's going on with apps and CPU/GPU usage. Some apps uses only performance cores. Some use both performance and efficiency cores. Apple change the configurations of performance and efficiency cores in base M3pro = less performance cores vs previous gen. This year the base Pros are not as good as previous gen. If you use hardware accelerated video encoders or Neural engine, M1 to M3 basically uses same encoders and engines. So renders with minimal effects are almost the same on M1 to M3 ( pros have one hardware encoder, Max got 2 ). The big difference is in GPU, hardware accelerated raytracing and more cores for the Max. That means big boost for 3d and GPU/Ai apps, Games. Audio apps are having same issues. Software not yet optimized. Very frustrating not knowing what apps works well with the variations of Apple Silicon.

[@boogidaball]

I agree. The changing of technical things like the cores has been confusing to say the least. I heavily doubt an average consumer would even be in that loop.

[@rqchin]

The M2 came out later than originally planned, and Apple bought all of TMSC’s 3nm chip production, so they couldn't let chips pile up for months just to create an artificial gap - that would have been very expensive. When you have the opportunity to release computers running technologies no other company has access to, you do it when it's ready. The M1 and M2 were already so good, most people using those shouldn't upgrade unless they need to jump up to the M3 Max. Apple is trying to reach the masses who haven't upgraded and it should help their holiday quarter sales, their most important quarter. Sometimes the business demands override other considerations.

[@boogidaball]

I do 100% agree with this. I was aware of the fact that Apple had bought up all the 3nm chips and that the M2 had been cut from last years Q4 event. They had to push something out this year for Q4. Going forward though I’d love to see a slower approach.

[@transitengineer]

First let me say, if you pick-up any new Apple computer from a retail Apple store and within 30-days (1-month) a newer model comes out (even though it is after the standard no questions asked the 2-week return policy) they will take it back. In addition, if it has been between 30-days to 60-days (2-months), if you make a fuss and order a new model on the spot most time they will also accept it as a return. It is when your new system is only 3-months old when, you really get screwed! It would have been better for Apple, Inc. to release as follows: M-1/2/3 and M-1/2/3 Pro chips then within the next 12-months release M-1/2/3 Max and M-1/2/3 Ultra chips. However, your three (3)-year upgrade cycle makes a lot of since for me when it comes to the Mac OS. Where, a new Mac OS would be released only once every three (3) -year period (smile...smile).

[@boogidaball]

Hmmm. I wonder if it’s too late for me then. Was the middle of August when I got my M2 pro. I’m happy to stick with it. Like I said though it just makes my purchase feel less valuable. Still really enjoy the laptop though. The chip release cycle is already kinda messy. I like the idea of all 3 of the chips releasing. I’d be down for the m3 ultra to release along the other three as well. I just wish they had more time to bake.

[@Yadeehoo]

I was gonna buy the M3, as my intel MBP died, but when I found they lowered the amount of performance cores, I started thinking twice. Plus the unbinned version only adds one extra core (overall losing 2 cores in comparison with the M2. Not a great deal to pay an extra €270 just for one core). So, I'm probably going to buy an M2 instead, which I can't find anywhere to buy as a laptop so I'll have to go with an M2 mini

[@boogidaball]

Give the Apple refurbished website a good look! I’m sure they have some M2 models on there!

[@Yadeehoo]

[@ChrisMitchells_FlyingCameras]

Cool video and some interesting thoughts! I think a new Mac every two or three years is too long. Some folks will buy the new fully specced out MBP every year no matter what. Also, for those that skip 1 cycle they will have to wait 4 or more years for a new Mac. Personally im fine with a new Mac release every year even though I probably won't buy a new one every year.

[@boogidaball]

That’s completely fair. I’d revise my thought then to be specifically targeting major chip releases. The M2 was essentially just an M1 mark 2. I guess I’d prefer them to be more contained. I’d prefer to get super excited about the potential of the brand new chip line up. Currently I feel like they all feel more or less the same. Thanks so much for watching!

@@boogidaball I'm with you on the major chip releases. I have a late 2021 M1 Max MBP and the M2 ship didn't excite me at all (except I did get excited about the M2 Mac Book Air and bought one on release day!!).

The incremental upgrades are for the people in the market at the time they are released, not people who just recently upgraded. I'm not even an Apple guy, but I feel like I need to defend their annual release cadence. Also the M3 got some pretty serious graphics improvements.

To be honest. I don’t really have a gripe with it. Just gotta be dramatic for the KZbin clicks.

I agree with you for the most part. Less than 1 year doesn't make sense from a product management standpoint. Even if it was 1 year, no one would just casually throw away a good M2 Pro laptop. Maybe change the M2 Air if they didn't get 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of SSD.

[@boogidaball]

Right?!?!

[@zorbzod6475]

If it's in good nick, sell the older one or part-exchange with Apple for the new one. Or, if you're lucky enough to be flush, pass it on to a poorer pal like I did and make their day

[@VeitLehmann]

Absolutely right. This story can't be told often enough. You don't always need the latest and greatest. I'm not sure if this means that Apple shouldn't release new Macs every year, but apparently there will always be people that _absolutely must_ have the latest model, just for prestige. And that's bad, that's just producing more e-waste and push the exploitation of our planet. So in the end, I have to agree, even though this means that if I need a new Mac just before a new line of Macs is released, I'd have to get a two years old machine. But personally, I'd always go for a refurbished one anyway.

[@boogidaball]

I agree! Not only is it better for the environment it’s also just kind of exciting for the super big announcement every couple years. Thanks for watching!

[@hermanthotan]

I think the fact people start moving to use apple macbook is because the price is getting super ridiculous. 48gb sodimm 5600 is cost usd$170 for macbook I think it cost you 3x 😅 4tb of nvme ssd it cost you $200 If you upgrade macbook pro from 512gb to 4tb it cost you $1800 😅😢 I believe people just have concern about it 😂

[@boogidaball]

I don’t think that’s the reason people are moving to use MacBooks. I think people love how high quality the product is.

[@bookswiper]

Nobody is forced to upgrade so let apple do what it wants and enjoy the super M1

[@boogidaball]

I didn’t say anyone was forcing me to upgrade😂

Thats interesting, you have at this moment 571 subs and you have ads on your channel

[@boogidaball]

I do? That’s odd. I haven’t even hit the first level of monetization yet. Need a couple hundred more watch hours. Sorry about that.

@@boogidaball lol, please don’t apologize. If you make good content ill pay you with my ad views, lol.

@@paulmark992 well I’m sure Google appreciates it. Hoping to get some ad sense going here before I reach my first 365 days which will be in August. Harder to make videos as I just started school but I’ve got a “studio display in 2024” video I’m excited to release by the end of the week!

What's that sandpaper sound in the background? Keeps on recycle pattern. Maybe, it's someone just walking on rainy pavement with old fashioned galoshes. Whatever it is, plz get rid of that sound in any future videos! Good luck with ur new channel. 😎😎

[@boogidaball]

Sand paper noise? No body hasn’t mentioned that and I’m not hearing what you’re referring to. Sure it’s not an audio monitoring issue?

[@voxtelnismo]

Yeah, benchmarks are stupid.

[@boogidaball]

Sometimes they are useful but idk. I prefer sharing and knowing what it feels like to actually use and enjoy a product rather than knowing what kinda number it can pump out.

[@voxtelnismo]

Benchmarks are presented like a confident conclusion. Whereas in reality they are a low confidence single statistical data point. They literally mean nothing. You can have a 10% benchmark variance within a sample of 30 laptops of the same model.

[@boogidaball]

@@voxtelnismo very true.

[@alex.muntean]

The 16 inch M3 Max is incredible and significantly faster than past chips. For professionals, the fact that they don’t wait 3 years to release a better laptop and better chips, is excellent. Personally, I like the fact that you can expect a better and better chip each year. Also, a few days before the release of the M3 lineup, Qualcomm was touting “better processors than Apple” 😅 and that was obviously short-lived. I also believe Apple already has the technology for at least 3 generations of cpus ahead, but they are rationing that power for business reasons. ✌🏻

[@boogidaball]

That makes complete sense. I just prefer having big events with big exciting releases. I enjoy the theatricality of it which I know is very low on the list of priority’s.
