This was a fun one. We brought out the Pentax 67 & Hasselblad X-Pan even though it didn't make the cut for this one. haha Shooting in a sounds stage is always fun but we had to get crazy with it. Beautiful lighting, Portra 800 & talented actors helped me bring the vision to life. I hope you all enjoy this one!

HEY GUYS! THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN MY NEXT VIDEO. WHOEVER CONTACTS YOU BEFORE THEN IS TRYING TO SCAM!

@terryclark8745 Год назад

Thanks for clearing that up.

@glensnyder7924 Год назад

Wow....almost got scammed on that one....someone on Telegram who wants you to pay postage over PayPal.

@soulstart89 Год назад

nice work bro. What sound stage did you use? most sound stages don't have prebuilt sets. Do you have a website?

@2007rSix Год назад

Thanks for the heads up.. I almost clicked on a telegram request..

@soulstart89 Год назад

@@2007rSix you have to be careful. Scammers are so sly nowadays

@farleyxmk Год назад

For me, your best shot is the panthers one with the driver looking at the camera! The color, the vibe, the framing and expression, it's all there!

Mike, every video, you bring a new flavor. I enjoy your work. the young lady in the back of the car picture is amazing. Let''s go!!!!

Mike impressed by your creative vision on this video. My favorite was the girl starring out the back window of the car.

@glensnyder7924 Год назад

Never know what to expect on your videos...thanks for mixing it up. Also a Pentax 6x7 user so I always enjoy seeing how you use yours.

@timomischok Год назад

Hey Mike, saw the first Video around one year ago and loved it, it was the Pentax vs. Hasselblad in the desert. Since then i‘ve started watching your vids. Every time you dropped a new banger i had to show it my friends and tell them about your work. And another thing, it’s crazy how you creat videos which i don’t just watch cause of the technical or art aspect no, also because of you as a person and your character. There aren‘t many creators wich achieve this kind of sympathy level! Keep up the good work Bro!

@emmawright3505 Год назад

@paradisa13 Год назад

Liked the video immediately after seeing just the first few photos, the vision, and the effort that went into it even before knowing what the giveaway is about. I'm normally a fan of natural lighting but this shoot just inspired me to consider studio shoots! Thank you Mike and please continue doing what you love to do!

@chrisperceval193 Год назад

You are a talented man Mr Gray! I wish you every success.

@URBONED Год назад

Love the use of colour for the first shoot and the black and white for the second. Really taking your photoshoots to another level by integrating a level of storytelling that many others wouldn't consider - but using your voice to keep it personal, which makes it all the better.

@dardis1745 Год назад

love the video and i have always liked your transition! i was really blown away from the colors when you got to 1992 and the black and whites from the black panther set were dope...thoroughly enjoyed your video and photos!!

@baxtermarrison5361 Год назад

@gottanikoncamera Год назад

Great photos and cool setup! I grew up in 70s Berkeley and it wasn’t till recently that I learned of the other side of The Black Panthers story, so it was great to see this homage to them. I think you need to give rock skipping another go in a future video. lol lol

@reneweisz9157 Год назад

Fantastic shoot, I am a fan of B&W but in this case I really prefer the color version, awesome lighting.

This was truly a great great video! The winning shot is definitely the one with the lady looking out the back window. So much emotion in that shot and the vibe was incredible. The sets were like wow! That street corner with the Panthers was so cool and authentic. Bravo. This actually had me wishing this was a movie because that beginning with the Rodney King video playing in the background was perfect. Your acting skills was on point too! 😂👊🏾

@MikeGrayFilm Год назад

Haha I appreciate you

@kronkite1530 Год назад

Every time I see one of your videos the colour, the tonality and the (natural, non-gaudy) richness make me crave going back from digital (don’t hate me!) but now also the black and white. It might seem crazy, given we view it on a digital display, but whatever people say I think it’s hard to get that rich, luxurious look from digital, whatever the processing, presets etc. Knocked it out of the park with this one. Direction too, with those authentic looks on the faces and in the eyes of your talented performers. Just ace.

@snakeeye2351 Год назад

I love the lighting on this shoot. It´s gorgeous. Maybe you should invest into some continuos LED light fixtures. I my opinion it gives one more control over the lighting compared to an off-camera-flash. It´s just easier to create interesting lighting ratios and use color contrast to your advantage.

@lukewarmsportsdrink7078 Год назад

I hit a lot of roadblocks when it comes to studio shoots and just doing the same colored backdrop over and over. You've definitely inspired me to try creating my own movie sets in my own visions for shoots. Seeing the detail on that set was super cool. Usually its me getting kicked out of a lot of spots. Love the work.
