This is such an underrated youtube channel. I can't wait to see you tell more stories and get the added benefit of learning more!

Great input here. A larger audience will stay for a good story and a smaller one will be impressed with how well it was shot. Do both and you're that much ahead.

The 6KP is such a tank man and you know how to get the most out of it! Also, extra points for the sweet sweet look from the FD lenses. Keep these vids rolling out man they're so refreshing. Much love from Tennessee 🙏🏼

Great insight into your craft. Thanks for the honest tell Tim!

Amazing insights! Really enjoyed learning about the process. The footage is stunning. 100% agree that learning is key! 👏

Great stuff! Definitely adding the BlackMagic Pocket 12K and Pro Mist filter on my list.

Well said and nicely put together. I have often believed and said that story is a given. Getting access for a doc isnt easy but once done its done. Likewise a script costs nothing to rewrite and perfect but gear is a resource that often is restricted because of budget and it absolutely matters. Shoot on an alexa with cine lenses of your choice super speeds or cookes and then say that gear doesn’t matter. Or use a dolly or full track. Cranes or robotic arms. Gear absolutely matters. It is rare as independents that budgets are not restricted and it’s amazing how much money can be burned on shoots that are inherently expensive eg lights at night genies location costs and have a large cast or crew. Food and transport alone can really add up. That said there are few cameras so affordable as the bmpcc6k that gives such instant results to elevate a scene when budgets are so tight. Excellent work and particularly the studio top down shot. High angle was very nice and it’s exactly the kind if value added shot that can really elevate a production. Easy to not bother but makes all the difference. Well done and thx for sharing the work.

Nice work… definitely the look I’m going for. Can you do an in-depth review on the FD s you used and how you got that look ?

thank you 🔥🔥 u inspire me 🙏🙏

I’m saving for a camera now. I feel like I’ve been saving for years. I hope soon I can just do the things I want. Seeing other following their passion is very inspiring. What’s your documentary about? It looks like you shot it more like a film. Loving the look.

I need that book light set-up

i got a set of fds as well and i was going to convert them to ef for this project with alexa mini but simmods had the fd alexa mount and that just ended up being way easier and cheaper.

Would love to see a breakdown of the cart you built. Carts can be so crazy expensive!

Nice breakdown. Which easyrig knockoff did you get? I didn't see anything like in your pictures on the Proaim site. I've loved using the Easyrig Stabil before but I'm just not willing to spend that much on one.

Sick dude! Subbed

What factored into your initial choice of the URSA Mini 12k for this project?

Totally agree with everything you said about gear at beginning of video. What Pro Mist filter did you use in your documentary? What brand and strength? Als, That looks like a Matthews Junior boom not a Manfrotto.I have one. Did it have a 25 pound weight on the end? I took mine off and use shot bags as it is easier to manage for what I do.

where can i get the slider that you use in this video please

You converted the breech mount fd lenses??? I have the 50 1.4 and would love to convert it! Which kit did you use from Simmod?

Newly subscribed to this channel. I like the breakdown analysis. Where can one buy the Canon vintage lenses set and also get them converted to EF Mount?

Could you tell me more about what cart you bought and what wheels you upgraded to?

Its possible the battery plate was not connected securely on the back of your 12k

The shadow on your face cos of your lighting was a bit scary to me initially 😅
