Milford Sound - New Zealand | Sony a6500 + Zhiyun Crane V2 + Cine4

[@carlesrullarmengol77]

This travel film is the most unique piece of art I've ever seen of a non profesional filmmaker like Sam Kolder or others. Sony a6500 and Mavic are great cameras and you take their skills to another level. And the sound design is marvelous. Amazing job Michael. I want more!

[@MichaelExplores]

Thanks so much! Means a lot. There will be plenty more to come this year

[@kevin.michael]

There are some out of this world shots in this dude !!! Well done !1

[@MichaelExplores]

kevin michael Thanks heaps my man!

[@bambakimball]

I honestly thought this was shot with a Red for a second. Great edit

[@MichaelExplores]

That means a lot! Thanks so much :)

[@TheReaistl45]

Sound design and speed ramping flow is just magnificent! I watch this video so many times!

[@MichaelExplores]

Ovan Oakley Thanks so much, means a lot!

[@manojvishwakarma8480]

* I don't know how many times i've watched this video 📹. *One of the most underrated channel . *this video proves that : don't underestimate the power of "sound design" and "kit lens". *A ideal video must be like that.. once you start playing the video then , you will not even know when it's finished (you are in different world). *simplicity never get old(you don't need too many fancy transition and too many effects to make any video great) *Talent is God gifted.. we can copy your style of video editing but can't copy your talent. *keep going.. Love to see your upcoming work. 😍

[@MichaelExplores]

Manoj Vishwakarma Your comment means the world to, can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate the kind words and support, thank you! I’m working on some new projects at the moment, they’ll be out soon

[@MichaelExplores]

Cheers! Glad you liked it and awesome to have you :)

[@gaarax0x]

2 Year old video and still a banger, only proves that a good story, solid cinematography, inspiring score and sound design works. This video will beat any new b-roll video anyday. Love it !!!

[@Khusuke]

Man.. I had to stop everything I was doing and watch this all the way through, something I rarely do. Amazing sound design, cinematography, and location. That scene at 2:24 had me speechless. You inspire me. Thank you for this.

[@MichaelExplores]

Khusuke Thanks heaps for the support! Honestly means a lot so thank you 😊

[@BryanFrancisco]

Sound design was on point! Great stuff dude! You planning to get the new sigma 16mm f1.4?

[@MichaelExplores]

Thanks so much! Not at the top of my list, looking at the sigma 30mm f/1.4, Sony 18-105 f/4 and the Sony 10-18 f/4

[@drift8007]

The 16mm 1.4 is amazing too ... I tried shooting some kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpvTc6mFpJWbjJI

[@Houstnwehavuhoh]

@@MichaelExplores Get the 30 or the 35 ART. I have their 16, which is fantastic. Great intimate spots where I don't have much room, cool for some landscape stuff, but the 30 and 35 are my go to. The 16 sees its places for sure; if I want to film in a car or a room, film across a restaurant table, while still having personal footage, it's great. I'm glad I have it. I'm never disappointed using it. But if I could have one, it'd be the 30 or the 35. 35 is damn hefty, autofocus is a little slower I feel, but it's damn good. 30 is just a great all rounder for grab and go. But I do have all three for a reason. I LOVE their stuff. So good. But mostly style based nonetheless. If you're okay with a 1.8, get the 18-35 for cannon with MC-11 adapter. Autofocus is purely amazing with that adapter, and its obviously a flexible fit being 18-35. 1.8 is still swell too. Love your stuff btw! Killing it. Subscribed.

[@LeslieDudley41]

Here is the best reason why you should not get Ronin S t.co/JkJ24ZfYxb

[@MichaelExplores]

Just got the 16mm f1.4 to add to the kit and I'm loving it!

[@ScottBoyd]

Trully breathtaking !!!

[@MichaelExplores]

[@NevinXavier]

Third times i'm watching it, still amazed by your colorgrading ! Will you do a "how to" video of your settings ?

[@MichaelExplores]

Thanks so much man! Seriously means a lot :) I am planning on starting tutorials so I will for sure get to that at some point! What other tutorials would you also like to see?

[@RiseHigh]

Thanks for your answer ! Since you seems to be pretty good at sound design and editing it to your footage... Maybe a tutorial on colorgrading and an other one on sound effects ? What do you think ?

[@MichaelExplores]

Yeah okay for sure! That sounds cool :)

[@withersfrance]
