Thank you for not over saturating this short with a ton of transitions, and instead letting the cinematography speak for its self! Its refreshing to come across a video like this where there are minimal transitions. Your use of the few at the beginning helped set up a solid intro, and then you just let you adventure and cinematography speak for itself! You've got my sub, this was rad and look forward to seeing more!!

[@isaahedits6714]

i just wanna say that God, Mary and Jesus love you so much! They saved me from cancer and They are with you❤

[@ahuhumbatli8560]

Super

[@nathantomas]

Your colour grading is honestly some of the best I've seen man, and this is no exception! The content on your channel is top quality.

[@jessicaszalai]

this is gorgeous, bali looks like such a dream

[@AltairCZ2011]

anybody knows location of waterfalls on 1:34?

[@raibrahim_]

coban sewu/tumpak sewu, it's located in Malang district

[@Phillink]

Yeah only the nice spots you get to see @socialmedia. But the burning trash piles next to the street and the poor people, nobody gets to see. Bali is the best example of how to make a country look so luxury but in reality it is only the Instagram/youtube image. Nevertheless Great Video!

[@iwenew]

tumpak sewu - Lumajang - east java

[@sadiqandnature]

Can anyone have a look at my instagram profile @the._.nightwolf and give me some feedback

[@armani5142]

[@stelioskiritsos1521]

True

[@CalvinKrause]

Dude the quality of this is insane! Beautiful memories of one of my favorite places in the world 💙🌿

[@JFreez]

Solid video, I remember watching this a year ago and it was the final push for me to purchase the Sony a7iii. Camera has not let me down at all yet. Love it.

[@jpedraza602]

How do you get the footage to look that sharp? I have had my Sony A7111 for a year or so and I can't get my quality look like this is there a particular rendering way to accomplish something like this?

[@JFreez]

Jose Pedraza First, make sure you have a great lens as that’s what really will give you the good definition. Second make sure your exporting everything correctly within your editing software as it can pixelate the video quite a bit if you don’t. Hope that helps.

[@lvl-up3951]

This literally only had like a few hundred views when I first watched it, well done bro!

[@TheRealRSProductions]

We need more of this please - absolutely in love with this cinematography!!

[@JimmyConover]

Looks beautiful man. Great images. I thought there were a lot of opportunities to bring this even more to life with sound effects of the jungle and waterfalls and birds. Keep up the great work!

[@guymagzianov1642]

You have a talent. One day you will have millions of views! Keep it up

[@fabi9]

your right!

[@baddogentertainment6960]

Subbed. That footage, and music choice was a sensational combo. I've recently transitioned to Sony and was really regretting it as I didn't feel i could get the colours to look as good....but this proved me wrong. Everyone, the lenses used were Rokinon AF native sony e mounts, 14mm and 35mm...stop asking. But I do have a question of my own, regarding grading, were you applying particular luts, or filmconvert or doing it manually?

[@jakobmihailo]

I applied my own lut and manually tweaked each clip

[@calvinshelwell]

jakobmihailo did you create the lut yourself? This is beautiful man

[@trimotionmedia5487]

Just make sure to properly set white balance, epsosure, and such. Maybe mess around with picture profiles and find one that you like. Sony colors seem fine to me. Especially the sony a7iii

[@baddogentertainment6960]

regarding picture profile.... i take it this wasn't done using slog2? (ive heard people saying it goes to sh*t when trying to grade due to the 8bit)

[@jakobmihailo]

Bad Dog Media I used slog2!

[@EVLAND]

I've seen it a million times. please do your best from now on.

[@mullinsmediaLLC]

very impressed on how far you've come in 1 year!

[@keeeeeeeegan]

has to be the dopest bali video I've ever seen

[@dan-lee]

That's not only in bali.. All beach is in bali. But the volcano is Ijen crater.. And the Waterfall is, Blue Cotton & Tumpak Sewu waterfall. All in East Java..

[@billpickle2875]

This was one of the videos that came up while researching the a7iii... really impressive stuff. I decided to pull thr trigger and bought one. so glad i finally got it.

[@fabi9]

damn I want this camera

[@wshizuru]

the cinematic quality along with evocative music genius, wherever your eye travels the soul follows! BRILLIANT

[@JeffAlaniStanfill]

Beautifully filmed and edited and shows the full range of this camera!

[@ZimyDaKid]

Nice edit man! Quick little question, u shot it in 1080-100fps and upscaled it to 4k to have these nice slow-mo's in 4k?

[@jakobmihailo]

yeah exactly

[@davnesto]

hey Nico haha

[@LegitCreations]

Hey, mind explaining to me how to "upscale" the footage to 4K from shooting in 1080 slow mo? I've wondered the same thing

[@KingKromah]

It was scary how beautiful this video was

[@johnnyflaco263]

Wish I could afford a camera of this caliber, there's so many ideas in my head and they can't get out

[@MsSarbie]

[@Nezuko_yoyo]

don't say that! just save the money. you can afford it!

[@jackgamingth6698]

[@BETTER.ART.]

the camera is only half of the pie. You still need lenses and Sony E lenses are expensive af.

[@baddogentertainment6960]

[@BOIMA1994]

wonder who Sam stole it from ;)

[@baddogentertainment6960]

[@juanbrotato9115]

I know you published this 2 years ago, but I had a question I have been dying to ask you. If you could take a minute and send me a response via this comment or Instagram, i'll leave it down below, I would be honored!!! Question: How much did you spend on your trip to Bali? How was it (regarding details such as itinerary, form of travel to Bali and throughout Bali, hospitality, food, etc.)? Regarding your talent and skills, I see this is your first video on this channel, how did you go about obtaining a Sony camera and a DJI drone and where did you learn the skills to shoot, edit, and create like you do now???

[@tobywebb9609]

I'm pretty sure i have watched this video about 5 times now! Its just so good!!

[@Robin-ik5fs]

These visuals are absolutely great! Although I think I find the music not very satisfying

[@wilhelmrozwell1158]

You are so fricked. Explain why the score was not perfect match for the film?

[@Robin-ik5fs]

@@wilhelmrozwell1158 cause Bali and Java both have very unique locations in nature which kinda need a climax in music to show te magnificence of those places. The places were shown, so that's super amazing and well shot with some great perspectives, but the music isn't really cohering with the visuals because of the lack of climax or buildup. Still a great video nonetheless

[@wilhelmrozwell1158]
