I just love the idea of "These crazy effects they're practical, that car? that's all CG"

[@AllieSakwa]

I love seeing the breakdowns and problem-solving approaches in these videos! Everything to get the shot.

[@richlee8154]

This was super fun! Thanks for having me!

[@JYP1M]

The secret is...he's talented.

[@royalt8420]

[@davidp158]

Another great interview! Thanks for doing these and inspiring us.

[@sbvsls]

I love these breaking down videos so much ❤️ it's so inspiring to get in touch with the creativity of others.

[@bottledwaterprod]

I am genuinely inspired to get back to work now. I might've even conjured a great idea while watching this. We shall see. Thanks again for the great content!

[@zakHT95]

Just wanted to mention that your videos are one of the best in the filmmaking. Always very informative

[@Richard_Bumblebee]

Some of the ideas here are brilliant. I wonder how long it takes to come up with them because they're so seemingly simple yet so cool and complex. I guess the key is to never stop messing around until you reach a point where you can easily imagine this stuff. The hard part is getting past all the bad ideas and not getting overwhelmed with not having a good idea. Which I me right now. But I feel encouraged to start thinking of some new ideas now. I don't copy but I do feel inspired to build off one these in particular since it was good.

[@ThePlaceForThings]

DAMN THIS WAS SO ENCOURAGING! HE'S HAVIN A TON OF FUN. GREAT VIDEO

[@jangirkorzhumbayev2338]

[@yetanotherfilmchannel5766]

Love thissss. I find it so hard to degrade footage though. I did a 90s bop it rap I did ona fish eye, but I couldnt bring myself to do much more than changing it to 4:3. I didnt want to mess with the colors! lol

[@cj64films]

Lol the struggle is real.

[@neonnero1]

I got distracted at some points, since Rich looks like an American version of Brittlestar (Stewart Reynolds, Vine/KZbin content creator from Canada).

[@mikloswetto]

[@JuanLuisBst]

[@MrZiggyMarbley]

[@MuhammadKilany]

Wait, did he say sony A7 ? like the original sony A7?

[@MrPhilbautista]

[@ZumodeElectrones]

Hiii

[@pulangtuldok]

hi baby. i always enjoy watching you.

[@bottledwaterprod]

Hah! Wow that Eminem video is peak early 2000s.

[@inkusaido]

more like 2010s

[@bottledwaterprod]

@@inkusaido Exactly, it's like every music video trope of the previous 3 decades (but especially the early 2000s) in a video that came at the end of an era.

[@ArchitRege]

Crazy guy, hope I don't come across him at home depot, idk what I'd say.

[@Invictis248]

indie has helped me so much. check out “Hudson- When This Is Over” and let me know what you think! 😊🤘🏾

[@uncledee_e]

Good job, more improvement (grading et al)will come along the way but keep on.

[@Invictis248]

Uncledee' thank you man! I really appreciate you checking it out. Shot on an Iphone 11 pro!

[@uncledee_e]

[@stanj2649]

I'm login off...too much creativity for me

[@skipmuro5673]

Alguien que me subtitule esto? ;(

[@halsinden]

it's a small thing, but it saddens me to think that how few people now would know who max headrom / matt frewer is.

[@tuesdayevenings]

Not first but third?
