Legend has it that if you shoot 3 videos in a row at above f/2.8, Tony will appear as a blurry apparition in your mirror and suck you into his out of focus world.
I like how Tony Northrup refuses to acknowledge Camera Conspiracies. Ignores it in comments. Never mentions it in videos (when talking about other camera channels). Toneh is serious business.
He did not know? Amateur.. In all seriousness: In my experience more people watch Kasey than you realize.. And if not point them to this channel anyway.. ;)
I believe Toneh to be a further reaching philosophical and artistic concept. It serves to illustrate the utmost isolation of the individual in modern society, where social media and big corporations act as catalyst of the obliteration of social communitarianism. In Tony’s famous Toneh-construct establishing video, we clearly see a contemporary human making a desperate call for help, much like we already saw in other masterpieces such as ‘the scream’ by Edvard munch or any of Edward Hopper’s works on the theme. Tony will pass to history as one of the seminal figures of american neo expresionism and philosophical solipsism. What a time to be alive
As someone suffering myopia since childhood, I have had to deal with Toneh without my corrective lenses. While some choose to fight the blurry background in their lives, in my latter years I have come to embrace it. Thanks to smartphone technology I can watch videos without my glasses and everything beyond my arm's reach is in glorious Toneh. Toneh is not just cinema -- it is life for the visually-challenged.
I believe we will no more speak of image tonality, but of image “tonehlity”, a much better construct to describe image fidelity and subjective disgustability. Please someone start writing papers on this.
The single greatest contribution to youtube photographic videos since its'inception. Should be mandatory in EVERY photo course worldwide. And the only new addition to the photographic lexicon!
Yeah, just like the Mona Lisa, painted just over 500 years ago, yes, with a blurry background, has people questioning why the hell da Vinci did that......
@@mavfan1 Well the Mona Lisa has multiple layers of disgusting lacquer and dirt on it so will never look that sharp. As they will never clean it, we'll never know.
@@mavfan1 The immediate background is sharp but has not much detail. The distant background is basically impressionistic, as if obscured by haze or something like that. Toneh level 1 on that painting.
I remember the video that started it all and it’s still your most funniest video to date. (Famous line: “why did u bring us to the lake and hide it” LMFAOOOO 😭😭😂😂😂😂
@@dirtymusicassette It was about the EOS-R. Where Toneh spends the whole time saying "We don't need 4K" probably because the EOS-R can only do 4K in a Micro four thirds crop. And talking about how cinematic the image was. He walked towards the camera until he was just a talking head shot with canon's autofocus struggeling to keep his left eyebrow in focus, on a full frame camera with a 50mm lens fully open at Toneh1.2 at a lake. Probably one of the most painful things to watch. For anyone wondering, Movies are most of the time done at 2.8(some stop down to 4 or even 8) on an APS-C sized sensor.
Finally, I understand the Toneh. I've had to endure a great deal of cognitive dissonance while watching many Camera Conspiracies videos, but no longer. Thank you.
Hollywood should pick him up to star in quirky indie movies or even to play quirky side characters in blockbusters. Why not a hacker in the matrix or jurassic park series.
At This Point Your Videos are a Spiritual Experience for me. The humor it’s just Out if This World. You can be an actor a Comedian. Bro Thank You for Being You!
Laughed a lot at this one. 😂 Despite all the humour (which I love) there is a sensible point you make about how much background blur is pleasing/appropriate for shots/videos in different scenarios. And the "blurriest is best" approach is certainly not always (or even usually) correct. Thanks 👍
This video has most of the Kasey quintessentials: - Toneh - the music cues - boardroom meeting - ad thunder - “let’s all go to camera Canada tonight” Love you, man
Still in the Top 5 of your vids pure genius yes it's 2023 but i don't care this vid is timeless 1.8 prime, be out of focus 94% of the time, that other 17% is glory time 8-))) that was just brilliant Respect !
I once woke up in the middle of the night and everything was blurry, I thought I had been sucked into the background in full Toneh! Turns out I was just sleepy and my eyes were full of goo. I was so happy to see my world in f11 once I woke up a bit and washed my face. It was a scary moment.
The style of your sarcasm is so refreshing, love all your content! So glad i came across your channel. It is very insightful for all wanting to follow in your footsteps. The music fits it nicely.!
Northwood?? DARN all this time I had the wrong guy in mind! Heart wrenching monologue at the end. One for the history books. I almost cried several different times when it almost started to make sense. Toneh vs Bokeh. The choice, as always, is ours ❤️👍
first few vids of urs i watched i was like hmm, its a different sense of humor im used to but theres something I really like about ya content. 30 vids later, hooked.
Fuji is the first camera to acknowledge “Toneh” as a mode in their cameras. Look at the dial marked with the letter “T” . I may do a video review about that mode 😂
Great video, it puts so much in perspective if not in focus. A friend of an acquaintance was discussing this some time ago and hinted that a guy called Donald had sponsored Nikon to produce their 0.95 Noct so as to exceed with Toneh. Nothing exceeds like excess! Conrad Lorenz always said that God made ducks to prove he had a sense of humour.
Lens hood ! Damn it , I knew I was doing something wrong . Thank you my Monkey Strength camera God . The shackles have been broken , the scales have fallen from my eyes , I can now soar like a blurry eagle !
