My Dad teaches me how to use the Bolex

[@g1234538]

This is the best video on the entire internet about the Bolex. Period. Your dad is an immeasurable character explaining everything! The way he speeds through anecdotes and all the little tricks and knowledge he knows about the basics of shooting with one can only come from someone who became a well seasoned user of one Showing off the light meter, the viewfinder, relishing in how clean the insides were, smelling how clean they were ('SMELL THE GATE'), cautioning against dust and hair (NO BEARDS), the trick to find the emulsion side in the dark, BRILLIANT "So muddy, such a poor choice of exposure" Love your dad's honesty reviewing your footage lol, at least you got something! "In film you get 2 stops: 2 up, 2 down!" Imagine the difference checking out out a recent Vision3 negative film, compared to slide film, that's got over 16 stops of DR! Quotes like this, the way he teaches you everything, I could listen to him talk about this for hours!! Heck, he needs to start teaching this because he'd have a full class including me "You're not ready for this business" hope you survived Considering how great this video is, you did well! I really liked the editing!

Haha just came across this randomly looking for film stuff. Your dad needs his own Chanel with you really entertaining. 🙏🏼

[@yozhiworks]

You have a really cool dad. I hope to be this cool with my kids.

[@JustinMcClain]

Great video! Literally the most genuinely fun and informative I've seen in a month.

[@animateangus]

Enjoyed that! Your dads commentary at the end was hilarious 🤣

[@shyamseyes]

the ride of emotions when shooting film will never die. your fathers love for the craft comes through so much in this video. an absolute pleasure to watch and learn from a specialist at work. keep making videos together. this was great!

[@edgargisbert]

I really enjoyed, learned and laughed about this! Thank you ❤️

[@analoguebodies]

Man, such a great experience! I love how your dad makes his comments - feels like not only he's pointing you in the right direction but also teaches you to take criticism with a bit of humour so it doesn't get in the way of whatever you wanted to do :D

Very cool. Love it.. “smell the past”, lol. I’ve had a couple of similar experiences with my kids when showing them movie cameras - 8mm ones & my Bolex H16s. They got the hang of it after a bit of trial and error. Of course they prefer the ease of cell phone and GoPro video.. There’s nothing like film to document our lives. Nice set of prime lenses on his H16. Thanks for this! I’d love to see more videos with your dad in them. He’s great!

[@michaelcochran5171]

I randomly got this suggested by YT and its so damn heart-warming. Your pops knows whats up with tha bolex !

[@BSCOTT145]

Lol your pops seem like a good guy. Very funny

[@maximilianseeger]

Thank you!

[@christopherbitgood6959]

man, your dad is awesome!

[@ROJTHEGOAT]

this is so beautiful to watch, you have no idea

[@a.rchvs_]

this was very insightful & mad funny 😂

[@theoffbeatdept]

Dude this was beautiful. Loved this. Thank you for putting this together! I’m actually shooting my first test this week so this got me really excited! Quick question: what mic are you using for your dad?? Sound was super crisp!

[@CalethiaDeConto]

I’m only 3 minutes in and completely riveted by your dad’s energy! Thanks for sharing this 🎥🙏🏾

[@gerardomejia9905]

Your dad is like Larry David’s doppelgänger 😂

[@burgercube]

Aside from the absolutely incredible tutorial on the use of the camera, the character of the father, the editing, and the narration in general, I'm amazed at the quality of the video. What camera was this shot on? Digital Bolex?

[@Darkslide99]

I think this video might be the best thing on YT!! Amazing and thank you. Your dad is awesome!! ❤❤

[@Directorkey718]

I don't know how this video made its way into my feed...but I love it. I didn't have a dad growing up but I would've loved to have had a cool film nerd dad who geeks out on cameras...this made my day!

[@zackzeiler2594]

your dad has got to be one of the coolest guys out there, he is so passionate I love it

[@captainjimmy6947]

This is an amazing insight into the Seeger family, perhaps my new favorite media dynasty, you, Sam, Ben, and your father are fucking brilliant mate

[@Deckardrick007]

Just like my dad ❤

[@stranstudio]

Your dad is AWESOME.

[@Futureprequel]

Real life may escape some who try to measure it. Here I have found the absolute spirit of Bolex . Mahalo

[@42ndStreetMatthew]

I have a Bolex and I constantly tell people to smell it. It's an essential part of the experience.

[@tigerareyouthere]

This was brilliant. Your dad is such a fun character, I wish he also had his own KZbin channel 😅

[@user-gi8vi9fs1h]

absolutely love the vibe, not really interested in bolex usage, but watch till the end and enjoy, your father is great!

[@DethronerX]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Very cool video and the family!

[@TheCosmic_Pizza]

Love this!

[@marvinfilmaker]

i thought it was Johnny Knoxville cause of the thumbnail 😄

[@moonwanderer595]

Hi man! Your father showed and told everything with such burning eyes, it was cool! I've never been interested in video shooting in my life, much less shooting with old cameras However, I liked the video, and how everything was explained. Of course, I couldn't understand all the subtleties, because I don't know English very well But when I watched your movie, despite its dampness and unsuccessful shots. It was very atmospheric Not everything comes out perfectly the first time, and efforts cannot surpass talent. However, if you try, you can do everything. The main thing is that your soul lies to this case But of course in this case it was just an interesting experience, so I hope you'll just do what you like😁😁 Although it was funny to hear at the end of the phrase that your grandfather said to your father: it's none of your business😂 I managed to get acquainted with a couple of your videos. You skate very cool, and you have very good family and friends😉👍 If you are going to release any more videos, I will definitely watch them! Happiness, luck and peace to you friend✌😊☀🍀🎥🛹

[@maximilianseeger]

Thank you! ✌

[@IanWhelan]

That was awesome. Do I recognize the C100 living its best life again?

[@maximilianseeger]

Thanks Ian! Good eye!

[@JacobCarlson]

Two up, two down. Welcome to the real world.

[@RobertJBallantyne]

I still love to pick up and handle my Bolex H16 reflex. I miss the amazing quality of Kodachrome colour film.

[@RyanNavazio]

Haha your dad is the man. When was the last time he had used that Bolex?

[@YushangChen]

Can I have your awsome dad! Don't use Bolex if you don't have a full set of NIKE.

[@Trenta5mm]

Wow, thanks a lot for sharing this

[@todayvideo3607]

Wow that was long ❤ love you

[@ROJTHEGOAT]

yo you should make more videos

[@rosadowrld]

Your father urgently needs to create a channel to tell stories about film 😅

[@HromekLukas]

Thank you for this :)

[@martinpurliet7438]
