The phone footage was totally OK! Seriously didn't think about or notice image quality at all unless you brought it up so must be fine, and that was on a 27" monitor. Thanks for bringing us along as always Sam
14:07 this photo looks like an editorial. The old Nikon looks really nice and the whole composition is just casually amazing. There's so much personality in one image.
Wow Samuel, it's so generous of you to share these very personal experiences. Your affection for your grandfather, your son and your family is really evident here. That's worth sharing in its own right but it's also the perfect demonstration of knowing when things are worth documenting with your photography. It's also really cool to share the quick introductions from your meetup, it reminded me of travel experiences in Japan and elsewhere, those connections are really valuable. Would love to see and hear more about your grandfather's work and life.
thank God this video exists, i watched the 3 videos back to back but i didn't know a BTS was up! loved all of them, wish i had a camera now but soon i'll get one i missed shooting a lot. also, Axel is great.
Thank you, that was just what I needed. Amazing how you can showcase the technology and actually bring out the real intent, that it's not specs but emotions and family that have the real value of what we like to do.
That drawing of you from your grandad’s sketches should be made into a shirt. So cool. I’d buy one 😄 And the drawing of your bro kinda looked like Snoop Dogg… and that’s a compliment haha
I totally support wearing Birkenstock to a business meeting, but than again I’m German. On a side note: I wish apple would work out a customizable/smoother zoom in/out while in video mode. The field of view of each lens is quite suitable for in-camera cutting/zooming, but gets somewhat compromised by the jumpiness once one switches between focal lengths. Other than that, totally „vlog-able“.
Haha, I know that sandals are a no-go in these kind of situations but I didn't even take normal shoes with me on that trip lol. Yes I agree a smoother transition between the lenses would be nice. Although I like how quick I can switch between them.
This was wonderful. I felt kind of emotional seeing your Grandfather's studio as well as your Grandmother looking at the Instax. Beautifully done (+ I miss you, Samuel). ps sound is great. just get a longer cable. :))
Thanks for the great video. The iPhone is great. The quality is super, and the audio was also great (some small instances of clipping here and there), but this is a perfect combination!
@@SamuelStreetlife I find myself wishing the same thing from time to time. Watch the new 14 mini will have all three lenses on it since we bought 13 minis 🙃🤣
Beautiful stuff. It was great to sit and watch this 9 years to the day since my wife and I were in Kamakura at the end of a fantastic 3 week holiday in Japan. Looking forward to seeing the Ricoh video and Lukas’s too and thanks for continuing to make interesting work. For whatever it might be worth, from my point of view, the iPhone vlogging works just fine.
Great video! Your grandfather was a special artist. Seeing his home and his works I can understand how much he inspired you. It's a special relationship and it's wonderful that you want to pass this legacy on to your son.
Another banger. The iPhone video quality looks really good, not so potato! Good to see Axel's face and behind the scenes with Lukasz. I also like the speed interviews of your meetup members. Can't wait to see all 3 episodes.
Nice video with you documenting your meet-ups there in Tokyo and also the part about your Grandfather and his work and how you want to connect that past with the present in your photobook project. Vlogging with the iPhone works totally fine, so keep on doing that. It's the down to earth, honest, interesting and enjoyable content you create that is so great and rare!
Love your grandfather's atelier. Regarding filming with your iPhone it's fenomenal, the quality it's great. Thanks for sharing, this video was unique. So long.
I really enjoyed this!!! Showing inside your grandfathers studio was a high light for me but also probably emotional for you - thank you for sharing glimpse's of his work. Next time im free I will be definitely checking out the photo book cafe
Fun video. Nice to see Megutama again. What an amazing photo book collection. I’m always overwhelmed too. Tasty cooking too. Interesting about your grandfather’s altier and exhibit. Sorry for your loss
I thought the iPhone footage was just fine... Using the GR you know all about how large gear can take you out of the moment, I think that's something most of your viewers get. I could see where the iPhone allowed you to stay in the moment. I do appreciate how you film and edit B-roll with bigger cameras, I actually think you're one of the better RU-vidrs for B-roll in general. But for vlogs like this, the smartphone does a good job. Also, I enjoyed the video in general, my wife enjoys watching your videos as well when I'm watching them and I think she connected with your thoughts and feelings on losing your grandfather. She was close with her grandfather and lost him earlier this year. Many people do not understand how the loss of a grandparent can have a strong affect on someone as an adult, we have found. I can tell he definitely had a strong artistic vision, and the work you showed was quite powerful, I think especially since it was created while he was in the hospital. That work really represented his character and how you feel about it. Well done.
Good you went back to see family and friends, great relaxing Vlog and I was surprised by the iPhone mini video performance. Looked good. Enjoy the trip, viele Grüße 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
Always enjoy your videos. 2 suggestions - try the DJI wireless mics. No wires so no chance of knocking the camera over. Perhaps a small plastic mirror with a magnet glued to the back with a magnet to mount to the MagSafe and you can see yourself (for framing) on the front camera. Really enjoyed seeing your Grandfathers work and hearing a bit of his story. Thank you. It was so touching to watch your Grandmother looking at the images of your son.
Great video Samuel. Like always. You are good at keeping the story flowing and stay interesting. Very good - and the iPhone-format works very well. Thanks for sharing all this! Inspiring!
Your grandfather's stuff is incredible!!! It would be awesome if you could showcase it a little bit more in the future. An incredible tribute. Loved hearing your son's cooing in the background. Is there a book of his work? Can you please include a link somewhere? BTW that photobook cafe was insane - wish there was one in Vancouver.
Hello there. Happy to see you visiting your birthplace. My birthplace is now on fire for the non-stop half year of was and I even don't imagine when I will able to go there for visit. Such a timing - last week I renewed my 6 years old Galaxy s7 and I was great with the old stuff, but recently cameras and many other functions stopped working completely so it was the time to get something new :-) About taking this video with the phone - it's absolutely ok, the content is what's important. Film it with a VHS camera just stay it alive, interesting, and natural. CU
Thank you for sharing this. It was nice to learn more about your family. You can definitely get away with filming on your iPhone. Especially if it's easier for you and you enjoy it more. Go for it!
I've been following you for a very long time and I must say that I am very impressed by the way you keep it going on. It's always a great pleasure to follow your course and evolution. Technically great and one of the best episode so far.
Everything filmed outside with daylight looks amazing with the i-phone even the evening, inside and night shots looked great. I think when you didn't told us i wouldn't even noticed!
Well what a great video. A very personal journey I felt priviledged to witness. Your Grandfather was a great artist and you captured him well in your photographs of him. I'm so glad his studio will be left untouched. You will when you have more time want to sit in his studio and reflect and absorb his memory and the work he did in it. My grandfather was a great travel photographer and he inspired me to become one myself. People often get caught up in the technicalities of things like using the best camera for vlogging and sound. Let me just say that I found your vlogging on your phone was great because it was more spotanious, more real and I can tell by your vlogging you felt more relaxed with less to deal with just you and your phone. If I were you I'd stick to using your phone more often. the footage looked great on my PC and the sound was just fine. Making videos more personal is a great idea. I think shooting that way will make you want to make more content. Great job Samuel!!
Sad to hear about your grandfather Sam but he looked like a really good artist. Great video with excellent photos and I was watching on an iPad so the iPhone was okay.📷👍🏼
I just imagined a coffee/bar with those books and all the creative atmosphere for photographers in my city. Its such a nice good idea! I'm gonna starting to collect books for may be some day do something like that. By the way, always enjoying to see your videos bro!
Nice video imemr again great your videos from Japan. Quick tip: if you have an apple watch there is a camera remote app with which you can see your frame when you use the rear camera. Would be helpful if you now often vlog with the iphone.
10:42 "like Axel Foley from Beverly Hills Cop" LOL! 😂 41:10 iPhone footage is ok! Doesn't matter what device you're using, your content is always inspiring!
The phone footage looked good enough on a 65” tv, so you’re good. Hopefully you can make a stop in the UK or US so I can show up at a meet up. Looking forward to your photo book. Personal is always more interesting to others especially, but sometimes mundane to yourself. It’s an exercise to see what’s interesting to others.
Hi Lintaro! iPhone works great! As you said, as long as audio sounds great, the video works fine. Btw, the Meetup in Tokyo seems successful, doesn’t it? I wish I could have joined..., I was in Kanazawa City with my friend😢 Hope next time!!
one of your best vlogs to date, your grandfather was so talented and it was so cool seeing his sketches and paintings, can't wait to see the book. I also thought the iPhone footage was actually quite impressive, I definitely don't think you need to use a camera for these types of videos.
Thank you Joe! Usind the phone for vlogs is definitely very liberating! I still prefer the look of a "real" camera but now I know can make videos in any situation if I wanted to :)
i'm total cool with your footage. i watch yt in 1080p. Use the equipment you are comfortable with cause content matters. By the way, there are halogen lamps in your grandfather's studio. these warm up the temperature. Yes, a German peculiarity is Klugscheißen. But who am i telling this to? -lol- i'm a little bit surprised that he doesn't have used daylight tubes, maybe he wanted to dry his works quicker???
Totally Ok! Watching it on big screen Samsung Serif - stick to IPHONE Video is one of your most interesting vlogs so far - thanks for this Greetings from Leipzig- Capa was here making one of his most famous shots. Have you ever been?
Great video as always Mista must be nice! curious to see the end result of your bnw year book. like the idea of making it more personal! and ye, iPhone is really good for this kind of vlogging/video . ( how much sake did you drank back there?) looked a bit sideways ;-)) greetings from the hauptstadt!
Yes, the iPhone is a great assistant! Thanks! Very interesting video! Keep it up! p.s. Was upset not to see the Leica Q2 mini for a family shoots. Did you sell it?
When you say it's a lot of fun shooting vlogs with the phone, you mean the process is fun, or the amount of setting up lifted off of your shoulders makes the process more fun (even if it is still tedious or just annoying)? By the way it looks good enough that most likely most of us wouldn't even realise that it was a phone and not the typical set up.
