I finally tried a Digicam (is it good?) - feat.

In today's video @megantanart challenged me to shoot a whole day with just a digicam, while she shot one day with my Pentax K1000. It was really interesting to see whether a digicam could be an alternative to film photography.

Hellooo, I hope you enjoyed this pretty different video! :D You can see Megan's results with my film camera in her video. The digicam was a fun change. While I personally do not see myself switching, I do think that a digicam can be a cheap and accessible way to dip your toes into photography, if you haven't done so yet :) Also much love to Squarespace for the continuous support of the channel!

Loved spending this cool adventure with ya !!! Till next time

[@BrianChristopherPhotography]

You two made for a great video and should do some more!

[@spencerxox350]

You Guys should date each other 😂.. Can see the chemistry between you two guys already

[@megantanart]

@@spencerxox350 HAHAHAHAH no

[@i.mviyan]

​@@spencerxox350I think he have a girlfriend named Nelly

[@lelekhaing4135]

⁠​⁠@@spencerxox350No they have their own lives. It’s weird to say that

[@iris_clown]

this is like the top 10 best anime crossovers of all time but photography

[@megantanart]

BAHAHAHAHHAH true

[@Sky.bermensen]

I dare you to try take 28 photos with the sky showing and people in the picture​@@megantanart

[@spicysmoothie6974]

I love using my Digicam bc i feel like I'm 8 years old again just taking pics and not thinking about all the rules and stuff, just having fun with that type of camera

[@richstand]

Teo AND Megan in one video? What a treat. What. a. treat.

[@joel_villanoz]

my god it’s the better with an egg guy

[@megantanart]

HAHHAHHAH

[@pihu_2]

There's something about this video that feels relaxing

[@Neeintje]

seeing u out 'in the wild' compared to talking in ur studio / room is a completely different vibe

[@teocrawford]

It was fun, I must say :D

[@user-qv3sx8ld8r]

“avoid the weaknesses and focus on the strengths” hundred percent true! it applies in creativity when we thought we couldn’t create something beautiful because we tend to focus on the weaknesses of equipment we use (like camera) even on ourselves- so yes find the strengths more and see what it could give out to us at the end, and just don’t forget to enjoy the over all process❤

[@lemon-ur3bj]

thanks for including all the before/after versions of your digicam shots! I just got one of these little cameras myself, and it really helps to get inspired with my own edits :)

[@Fannyfique]

Both of your videos are "toutes douces" as we say in French. Congrats for trying, creating, daring and going on unexpected adventures. You both are a pleasure to follow on the Internet and you are gems for KZbin.

[@pastelxloky]

Agreed with the "toutes douces" vibes ahah

[@razon]

Am I watching a kdrama?

[@miguelangeloviedoperez3096]

Oh that was an amazing video. Loving the vibes of you two, not only as photographers but also as human beings. Lots of love

[@rimrockshadows]

This was a joy to watch. I particularly enjoy the part you mentioned about creating with another solo creator as teamwork. Agreed. It’s the best feeling to connect with fellow creators.

[@darrenchoy]

more japanese-related skits please, they were hilarious

[@emily-co2lj]

agreed!! i lol'd many times 😄

[@lorenrisner5228]

Before we know it Teo's releasing a folk album

[@SlimShady-nv4mq]

Great video, Teo! I really liked both the contrast in the white balance between the early photos that you treated and the ones towards the end. That camera's bluer white balance is awfully nostalgic and it was a joy to see you play to that

[@KnutPeterson]

Every time I watch a Teo video I think the next one can't possibly get even better, but still it does. amazing :D

[@robbiesonowal5613]

What a Treat 💛....Loved your Storytelling, Editing, Color Grading, Sound Designing and your skits...in short I loved Every Part of this Video...

[@hernerwerzog9700]

This whole video is such an aesthetic vibe :) Makes the daunting journey into beginning with photography slightly less overwhelming

[@johannaflowers_]

such a nice collab! i stumbled upon both your channels quite recently and at around the same time and love both your videos. great to see you working together. especially since we don't seem to have many people making cinematic videos like your guys' around here in austria 😊

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

Really fun video Teo, looks like you guys had a laugh creating it too. Great stuff, enjoyed this ✌

[@SHIBASANAKE_]

waaah how cool!! Watching Megan's videos for a long time too, such a cool collab! :D

[@joanmichel]

it was such a fun and relaxing video to watch ☺️

[@sofia.casado]

wow! love you both separately and never expected this collab :) but iloved it!!

[@madooriginalsounds2886]

Very cool video with a good mood and nice vibes! Nice collaboration video with Megan 🙏🏼🌿

[@adamrabah2231]

You really upped your production quality for this one!

[@lei4xmk]

lovely video, enjoyed every second. i bought a secondhand digicam a few days ago and this made me even more excited to get to use it

[@trananh.10_]

Full inspirations in this video were, thank Teo and Megan

[@imjustherefortheks]

Big fan of you two... Nice seeing you do things together... The K1000 is a very satisfying machine indeed... I learned how to shoot on a K1000, back in 1999, when I was in College... I'm looking for one to buy...

[@shuttervision.]

The colors are so beautiful.

[@randomcookie2350]

great video & awesome collab! i love using digicams for these kinds of experiments/challenges here’s a tip that i’ve found along the way; if you wanna level-up your digicam flash photography u can try to use an external camera flash, one of those that you’d usually mount on your hot-shoe but it has to be one with a built-in photocell in order to sync it up. you can get some exaggerated shadows by holding the flash really far apart as long as the photocell can see the tiny digicam flash or hold it in unconventional positions. you can also use it for more regular photos but with much more of the scene visible due to the power increase. just be aware that these photos will likely have a tendency towards overexposure especially in the foreground due to the camera not being able to factor-in the excessive flash power

[@kykysknight3225]

The collaboration of the year!

[@eduaunroc]

I love Megan ! 🥰I am so happy to see the both of you working together. The street photos were really good ! I love this concept 😊

[@megantanart]

thank youuuuu

[@stephenfphotography]

Love this style of video it was great! I personally love a digicam, they are just fun to shoot with ha!

[@intersexcryptid]

I think this looked really fun and was a great idea for a video.

[@riturajdas]

one of the collabs of all time

[@cameracentretv]

Awesome stuff guys!

[@maikdmann]

Atmospheric, very special. Enjoyed it. Please, more collabs! :]

[@blaze-bk7zj]

This collaboration is soo wholesome ^^

[@theharveydean]

the skits in the suit were amazing lol. More of these in the coming videos pls xD

[@janschreiber2706]

Super Video ! Macht Laune auf den Sommer :D +++++ Gut Gesungen :D

[@mr.peewee7261]

Just got a Fujifilm xt1 to chase the film style and your works are really inspiring to what I’m goin for 🤙

[@pdtech4524]

Great video, always good to limit yourself sometimes for more of a challenge. I enjoy using older cameras 📷 and trying to create impressive images with them.😊

[@justokcod8603]

Yoooooo the pentax first shot took her breath away.. Sheeeeeeeesh!!!

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Brilliant video! Really love the interaction and how much fun everyone is having. I been using older cameras for years, they bring something into every photo. Depends on the camera and the sensor. I find the Kodak ccd sensors produce in the early to mid 2000s some of the most filmic looks with bold saturation. Thanks for sharing!

[@teocrawford]

Aww sweet, glad you enjoyed it! :)) Ohh wow, Kodak ccd sensors sound intriguing :o

[@zevy.]

this is a sick collab

[@pastelxloky]

yaaaaay more female creative creators

[@thatoneguy9028]

I just have to say this is incredible work, especially at location 3. Every short video clip and photo had such thoughtful composition and lighting. Honestly makes me want to get out and shoot some photos. Keep it up!

[@teocrawford]

Aww so happy to read this, thank you!

[@kendrasananikone]

omg two of my faves!

[@diegoskt5]

this is my favorite channel!

[@pragyan788]

wtfreak video quality and editing context🔥love from nepal

[@thien42]

Awesome video! Loved the vibes ☀

[@teocrawford]

Aww glad you like it Thiên!

[@Jpow5734]

I was planning on getting a digicam, the canon sd1000 to be precise because I heard rumours that it was supposed to be really good but I delayed the purchase too much and then the whole digicam craze started and the price went up from like £25 - £50 all the way up to £300 in some places online. Some other good digicams increased in price as well and it kinda put me off for a bit but now the prices have seemed to be decreasing and levelling out a bit (still more than they were being roughly around £100) so i might try purchasing one because my god do the images really have a beautiful feel to them, similar to film but without the hassle of developing.

[@thatcoolkip1711]

1:37 I went oop when I saw Teo all dressed up in a suit. Very classy, lookin sharp!

[@shereemaebalangue1296]

This was really fun :)

[@SETH5641]

All the shots here are so good!! My favorite has got to be that one in 14:36

[@KillerTacos54]

This was so good

[@cortanathelawless1848]

I really love the artistic focus of your channel. Its genuinely inspiring. Makes me want to try new things every time.

[@Apx728]

This is so good

[@germanyyoshi]

das inspiriert mich sehr, danke ❤

THE BEST CROSSOSVER AH

not related to the video at all but... his voice is literally so calming to listen to!!😊

[@The_NSeven]

This looks like a dream :)

[@JustinInBlack]

great to see your channel growing with great contents! keep it up Teo

[@bespalovss]

Such a warm video:) Also, what song plays near the end of it, during conclusion part?

[@RicardoPereiraTrino]

I looove digicams they are so practical and fun

[@Pablo-hz5dl]

Fun video

[@swabfu]

Maybe the next video could be a general guide/explanation of how you make your lightroom edits? those digicam shots really went from rubbish to art after your adjustments!

[@GarrettWare]

Teo I love that you keep an Olympus XA around your neck in case you need to whip out a quality shot at a moments notice! haha Much love from Tennessee USA🙏🏼

[@teocrawford]

Always! hahah :D In came in handy a couple times on that day :)

[@GarrettWare]

@@teocrawford I keep mine in my car at all times for similar reasons! Haha

[@cgxlmedia]

How are you editing your audio I like how the mic sounds. The volume is even. Are you mainly doing compression? Ps I love all your videos your dope

[@jurgenchristoffel1699]

Wonderful video(s) from both of you ... I have to admit that I watch your channel mostly because of your excellent video storytelling style and not for your photos ;-0

[@kaito001]

u guys are sooo cute!

[@youmnaala4310]

Hey loved the video absolutely beautiful please do a Lightroom tutorial for these images Thnx

[@davesnapsyou]

I'm quite familiar with digicams, too, and I have a Nikon Coolpix A100. I always get weird looks when I shoot with it 😅

[@raymikhl]

I love the cinematography!!! wish to know the music thooo

[@xxlegolas_]

I love the suit get up! Haha

[@arahcozy]

Teach me which camera I need to buy if I want to photograph and also take video with it?

[@bauringdifoe1433]

Nice videoo! How do you record all your videos and maybe make a video on how you record and what gear you use for VIDEO in the future😄😊

[@teocrawford]

Huh that's actually a neat idea - just wrote it down :D Thank you! :)

[@Ghost-er7ve]

We need more of Professor Krohfurd

[@yasminannagloria9860]

11:52 Entschuidig di nit, es wor herzerwärmend! 😄❤

[@utumwisho8576]

Good video

[@MrLpgd]

How do you give the filters?

[@amberanayat]

I think Teo just wanted to shoot his normal subject matter instead of the reflections in the beginning hahaha 😂…. I love the shot at 21:35

[@ToyStoryNBarneyFan]

Digicams are in my opinion another option just like how film is. However what I like about film more is waiting for your pictures to arrive whereas digital is the opposite of that. While digital might sorta have a resurgence, film seems to have more of a resurgence for a good reason, it’s mostly the experience of shooting film that draws people’s attention. This isn’t to say digicams aren’t great. They are cool but I don’t think they’d replace film as another medium

[@teocrawford]

That's pretty much the conclusion I've come to as well. It was fun to try, but film stays my love (for ever maybe who knows lol)

[@jamsm1625]

anyone know what the song at the end is called?

[@Icarus438]

wait isnt that the fountain from call me by your name? The whole video gives me vibes that remind me of that film now that i think about it..

[@i.mviyan]

11:52 Apologize for your sorry right now , you have an amazing voice 😭🤍

[@KunalBansalCreation]

Great aesthetics, almost like Bob Ross if he was a photographer... please do a video grading tutorial...

[@DungNguyen-xi9xp]

professor Krohfurd must be a model instead of a professor tbh 🤫🧏🏻‍♂

[@kausthita11]

Hi, i am really late but i really want to find the name of the songs you used in this video if possible!!

[@heidihenzi9093]

can you share how you color graded the digicam pics? :) love your content! love this collab!

[@teocrawford]

Actually I'm going to make a tutorial for those edits on my Patreon in the coming weeks :D I don't make tutorials on my channel, because it just doesn't fit in very well and so instead I've made my Patreon page a little hub of mine for educational content :)

[@gatobuho-]

A little strange to see the edition on the Digicam, do you know that you can make changes in the temperature, color, contrast and softness in the settings? 😅

[@M461Cfs]

Can't believe it's just not me that does fix on post everything lol

[@Neeintje]

is that ur tokina sz-x 60-300mm f/4-5.6 lens or are u just happy to see me 📸

[@Damtshig]

❤❤❤

[@ThatBudgetGamer]

have you ever tried any of the kodak vision films? (with the coating thing not what cinestill does), i find it to be a relatively cheap film with some nice warm tones

[@teocrawford]

Once yes, via Silbersalz. However I didn't get a hang of it and most didn't come out very nicely so I'm in need to another attempt :,)
