[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Yo Guys! Thank Connor for this fun fast edit. Also, the audio is shit on this one, it was recorded while we drove a moving truck across country (with some review goodies and my Time Machine art installation). Theres a ton of things I would have smoothed over if we had more time but this type of video has a shelf life so here it is.........If you take anything away from this video it's NAB is a blast, you should plan to visit next year, and if you do, come meet me and be in the recap vlog. You have one year to plan, lets go.

[@brandonsimmonsmedia9631]

10:35 So, I'm in the market to get a budget anamorphic lens. Does the company you're talking about here start with an "S" then? I'm not sure who else it would be at this point and don't want to waste my money if it is the "S" company. I tried a quick google search and only get the "Fishing line flare hack" videos and articles. So, any clarification would be appreciated.

[@BrandonLuckain]

I’m not sure if I’m more impressed that you actually filmed this with your Ronin 4D, or the fact that this was the most entertaining, most informative NAB recap I have seen yet.

[@906MediaProductions]

My arms hurt just watching him run a 4D that long. I'm so glad I have a support vest 😅

[@lenhister]

Finally, someone not caught up in the hype and keeps it real about the PYXIS.

[@mrshaheedmalik]

Except most of his statement was wrong. The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K was announced back in September of 2023, not 2 years ago, and it didn't have internal NDs either. The Cinema Camera 6K also only had BRAW.

[@lenhister]

@@mrshaheedmalik He's comparing it to the 6K Pro. Released 1.5 years ago (so he rounded up 🤷‍♂). 6K Pro has mechanical ND filters, PYXIS doesn't. 6K Pro can also record in ProRes 422, PYXIS can't.

[@Ethaneman3135Rothschild]

@@lenhister 6K Pro came out 3 years ago

[@lenhister]

@@Ethaneman3135Rothschild My bad, that's correct on the release date

[@lenhister]

@@Ethaneman3135Rothschild You're right on the release date, my bad.

[@AlliandWill]

I can't believe that car mount slider rig is only $10k !!

[@errolwebber]

Wild, right?! I would've thought they would have priced it at a premium, but good for them, they made the price accessible to filmmakers who specialize in car-mounted cinematography.

[@AlliandWill]

@@errolwebber I was expecting them to say $20k at least (Based on everything else in the film industry being so overpriced), but ya, they priced it really well! Filmmakers will appreciate it!

[@prempiaaaron]

same thought

[@gummoman]

It's out of my budget but it's true, it's impressive.

[@D3Z_animations]

So excited for the insta360x full review! Can't wait to see your presentation on VFX workflows with it!!

[@chepilevski]

Come on Josh, we miss your work man 🙈 Please come with more regular uploads 😁

[@Sirrom0206]

He said (in an eariler video) he was probably done making those. He was on the fence with only producing major project videos. I guess that means we gat a video once a month. He did say in this video (three times) he would make several product review videos from this NAB trip.

[@nomadherper]

Best recap of NAB I've seen. Great edit.

[@AllenRReid]

By far, the best NAB breakdown of gear I will never buy!

[@BlazarLensMarketing]

Wait wait wait, who said the Cato 2x anamorphic lenses are $1,000? We haven't even released the price yet! 🙃

[@danieljohnpeters]

If there are we will love you forever

[@blackscreen9343]

2k would be awesome already

[@CreativePathFilms]

Someone’s getting fired 😬😅

[@BlazarLensMarketing]

@@CreativePathFilms Hopefully someone was talking about the Remus price and Josh thought it was about the Cato 🤭

[@redletterdayspnw]

I love that the Zhiyun guys don’t even know how to say it 😂

[@charlesn]

The best review of NAB 2024. Especially for the few of us who couldn’t make it to Vegas this year! You guys crushed it.

[@StijnVanderdeelen]

This video is the reason why i've been subscribed for many years. Keep it up !

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Awesome recap brother! And great meeting you 👊🏼

[@TheKiakiraly]

you still make the most creative reviews

[@powellfilmmaking]

You're like a kid in a candy shop, I love it.

[@filmicdk9792]

Best NAB vlog ever made !!! I love it

[@rw3452]

The best NAB video.

[@jimhestermanphotography]

So much fun and good stuff.

[@antonsemenyura5337]

What a action packed review lol, so hectic. Amazed by amount of new stuff coming out this year. That tripod with one handle - soo goood!

[@rawmintvideo]

THAT. WAS. GREAT!

[@srandall31]

Awesome job on the video, especially for such a short time you had to work on it. Very entertaining.

[@bentheremedia3011]

Great seeing you!

[@itwasme2435]

Epic recap. Thanks

[@ThomasFransson]

Wow! Great rundown!

[@vijhaib]

How lackluster you make everyone else's uploads! Amazing work! ❤

[@brentwalkerfilms9843]

Great recap!

[@grooveecard]

"...from the Mormon guy in Utah..." LOL Love Matt, and love MAKE ART NOW. Love this video! Keep up the great work, man!

[@tiemji]

Thanks for sharing this video. This Edition was fire!

[@TrevorMedia]

Great stuff! It was amazing to meet you out at NAB this year!

[@ha-media]

This was really entertaining

[@MartinV.]

Great Video!!

[@ReyesJim]

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MakeSomething]

Best NAB vlog eva.

[@SauloASFS]

Love seeing different corners of my fav KZbin subscriptions mixing up 😁. Pretty niche content but would love some video gear talk on your channel, perhaps the 2nd channel

[@bmefilms6879]

can always count on Josh to take it to the extreme....and im here for it!!!

[@380productions2]

Awsome very cool stuff coming out soon!!!

[@fpvjordi]

BRUTAL

[@SoulMedia1]

Josh , Amazing piece ! So much energy and info . I have Roning 4D . Where do you get those counterweights and how do you attach them ? Please share :))

[@nemisis4804MaddLabsTv]

Thank You!!!!

[@laserfliptoboneless]

The single hand when picking up the Pavo lenses just sent a nervous shiver down my spine 😭

[@HatePhotography]

The best vlogging camera for building your bicepts!

[@cambermedia]

Did I miss part 1? Either way - bloody mint :D

[@James-Tanner]

Thanks for the new video! And thanks for not selling out!

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

YOU GOT THE JUICE!

[@davidsfilmmaking]

This is Sick

[@MoVision-Video]

Very good review as always 😁. Your counterweight system for the 4d blows my mind ! Need one ! Where can i find it ?

[@B-Moye]

So much to say about this vid. Great stuff and very entertaining personality and editing. I really love how all the Zhiyun reps each had an official, yet conflicting pronunciation of the brand name. Makes me feel better about myself.

[@hackiest]

Great to see all the gear that now makes the gear you bought last year obsolete

[@bamcameback]

you are awesome

[@MaybeAnnatar]

I was literally just looking for a portal smoke machine. Neat.

[@gummoman]

It is incredible to see that Chinese products ate up the entire audiovisual products market. All the innovations come from China, impressive. 😯

[@iSpike]

NICE

[@soatualizacao8378]

top demais

[@bullettin]

Why did I watch this whole video instead of working on the edit that due in... less than 2 hours. Great job! I had to check my settings to make sure I didn't have YT set for 2x speed because you were running through everything so fast!

[@BuntyThao]

YO!!!!!! ❤‍🔥

[@PhillGraaf]

aahhaahh, love your take on the BM PYXIS and how you just keep loading the 4D. Can you please explain why you vlogged on it?? 🤣 DJI: Please give us a new LiDAR for the 4D!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

We had a hell of a time last year vlogging and shooting with multiple cameras. So I tried to make it fun and shoot only on one camera for everything. No other reason than I gave a talk at DJI with the ronin 4D loaded up with weights and thought it would be an interesting challenge. My arm hurts now. Bahahah

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Cool!✌️

[@RikiTakeuchi10]

Now its gonna be a great day.

[@jp3young]

This format is incredible. So entertaining while very helpful for a sadly missed year at NAB. Also, totally agree on the PYXIS. Add a few more drops of dynamic range and it would be worth it…

[@MountUpMedia]

Will your inspire 3 counter weights work on the ronin 4d 8k?

[@ChaoticMatters]

What a year for gear :o

[@skycladsquirrel]

Super fun Connor! I just got my Insta x4 today. Do you have a link for that belt selfie stick holder. That's just what I'm looking for. Hands free! If you have a better hands free option I would love to hear. Thanks

[@ThinkSPITZ]

Nice nice 😅 miss your work

[@ZachTandemXVisuals]

I knew I recognized you at NAB when I saw you running around with the 18mm on ur 4D! Haha

[@ScottBalkum]

Ok, Who is doing the fishing line in the anamorphic lens?? I missed this one.

[@thearabicdp]

Drop the mic. Best NAB video.

[@mattwruff]

You just crack me up! Excellent video. You're more entertaining than Undone! I'm glad I'm retired, or you would bankrupt me! (Don't tell the wife I got the X4, and may get the $250 smoke machine)

[@allexrain]

Oh man, long time no see

[@mrCarStyling]

Did Adobe told you, when FireFly coming into Premiere Pro? With this clip extension feature and so on?

[@JezDeehan]

We like Dan.

[@AndreSjoberg]

WooHoo, Andyax representing Norway, now *that* was a surprise cameo :)

[@bullettin]

I think Josh only put him on for the extra Vjus.

[@AndreSjoberg]

@@bullettin Best … pun … ever :)

[@WaltervanDusen]

The cool count down : spinning / logos motion graphics does anyone know what they are?

[@blackscreen9343]

which company does the fishline thing?

[@macd.893]

If I’m going to buy a camera to make short films in 2024 under $5,000, what would you recommend. Also, lenses ¿

[@StoryDrivenThomas]

💯💯

[@funsession9002]

Audio sounds weird. Idk why

[@cugan83]

The cinema 6k does not have internal ND's either. Only pocket 6k pro.

[@BuddyQuaid]

You're back?

[@jean-pierreuys5481]

Generative unemployed! Man thats funny and the fact that you made a slide for it. You rock!

[@HouseOwl]

You Have Made Me Realize. We Are Here To Take Advantage Of Ignorance ;)

[@ur2eta]

You should use Saramonic micros to improve the sound 😅

[@BransenPass]

Loved the vid but you were wrong on most things about the Pyxis. Its a full frame camera too just like the cinema camera 6k not the pocket 6k pro like you were comparing it too. Among other things. Other than that though great vid.

[@BobbyHacker]

I am like chomping at the bit for the SynthEyes/insta360 workflow breakdown…

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

How many items can you guess until my credit card is maxed?

[@Shuttterbugg]

Working for insta360 the whole show

[@connornyhan]

I’m surprised by the lack of distortion in the centre of the Atlas 18mm. Obviously tons on the sides but the middle it very controlled.

[@archstantonau]

Agreed

[@NinaJerry]

Why is the ATLAS 2x anamorphic so much more zoomed in than the BLAZAR 2x anamorphic footage. Did you shoot the ATLAS in super 35?

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Atlas Orion 18mm IS super35. Not full frame. The blazars are full frame. This was stated in my commentary a few times. ;)

[@user-id6gs5xj9b]

where is your AI Otis Josh?

[@pinkyghosh57]

its been a year almost. Still waiting for your opinon/review for the s5ii

[@JordiLA]

🙌👍

[@dejavuking]

I have a log profile question/assertion that is causing a lot of contention whenever I comment it. My pov is do not use log profiles at night time or in low light as it causes the imagine to come out noisy and messy, because it’s a profile for high dynamic range scenarios and at night there is no high dynamic range. Am I right or am I totally missing a point here!?. Like say your in an average town or city at night time, street lighting and some shop lighting. I’d never ever use VLOG because the shadows will look like utter garbage!. But I keep getting people replying with omg dude omg log profile is god and must be used at all times for everything because your camera has it!. Like unless I’m stupid I’m sure that’s wrong?!. To me it’s like using shallow focus or slow motion for everything. Just because your camera/lens can blur the backround, do slow motion or shoot in a log profile doesn’t mean you should use it no matter what!. Am I totally wrong!?.

[@VittorioMarcottoFilms]

pleases bring more videos on the channel

[@parkerlee1301]

Calling Matt Johnson a mormon from Utah was hilarious 😂

[@danielgarcia7447]

Inta360 X4 as ur “A” camera…. Lol ok I know ur a sponsor of the camera. But that’s just insulting! Good one 😅 👍

[@heiko4297]

Is the Audio funky or is it me?

[@cutback443]

I wish I wasn't poor.. or had rich parents -I could really use those those 2x Ana full frames

[@hairyguysketches9799]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE show me that Insta 360 x4 video, as a vfx enjoyer I must know why it's the next big thing!

[@Tricumulairdesigns]

Did you silence your music track 😏

[@ansoldreams]

8:32 Seriously... u guys cannot get clean HDMI/SDI output XD ?

[@marcusgrip]

For a Ronin 4D, the footage is not very stable 😄 cool vlog tho!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Lol. It was locked mode not gimbal.

[@binaryinfections]

I want to know how tilta rigged that bike
