Linus made brandon do a video to justify his purchase lol
I think it's more like "Tell me why we bought it or you lose ur job..."
Don’t know if this justify’s the purchase 🐸
What is the name of the song in the start??
th-cam.com/video/fuSJ5k1orBk/w-d-xo.html
So, they work with Corridor to justify.
Target audience: Corridor-Linus followers
lmao
They specifically bought 2 red cameras to film the other red camera
yeah you can do that when your rich lol
@@donnyblackwell9655 not really rich, just a company.
@@jadelily18 a rich company
People say they aren't reliable lol sometimes film studios have like 10 of them... People who use Arri Alexa only need 1-2 lol
Aaah yes! But how can they film a behind the scene video of this video?? Linus, get these guys a third Red camera!
Literally thought the first part was an ad 😂
yes me too

Looool me in 144p
And me in F****NG 144p
At the park with 144p 👌
I had to look if i am watching LTT for sure as the video started ......
Ha, yes. At first I was just enjoying the recipe, wondering what they were making. Then about 15 seconds in, I snapped back and remembered it was supposed to be an LTT video.
I thought it was an ad...

I got triggered how rough and sloppy he was cooking those... As well as him calling it a quick snack... Baking is not quick.
Fucking open a bag of chips you neanderthal.
Dear Linus Tech Tips,
Thank you for this resolution.

Hahaha Epic! You are my hero Brandon, you made your boss pay 140K so you can shoot better shorts in your free time ;)

How much did that work shop cost lol yet why do is see the money being spent yet not being used or must be behind scenes lol
Why did we get two red cameras?

Haha I co-own a production company and my friend used company money to invest in a ursa mini pro 4.6k g2. He doesn't know how to use it but it's a good investment for us both and it's gotten us more clients. Can't complain

Damn, that is some sharp ass footage. I may be bleeding.

Looks ridiculous on my 4K.. well done, boys.
TH-cam compression...
You are out of your mind if you think that's sharp.Over priced stupid thing that because looks good means its good.
The sharpness is 90 due to the lens, not the sensor of the camera.
When I clicked the video I thought: "where the hell is the 'skip ad' button!"

I think the REAL reason is "We have the money".
If I have the money, i will get a 8K RED camera to film my little one everyday, so that when they grow up, they won't feel too bad to watch 8k family video on their 16k TV.
What the hell, no you would not, nor could you.
The prep before footage with RED cameras alone would be a nightmare and would take hours. That's saying you have a PC that can edit and store RED at all. Also it takes forever to edit RED footage because they are cinema cameras and they record in RAW ungraded footage. Just getting focus on a 8K camera that looks acceptable would take forever. There is a reason these cameras are used on productions.
Source(s):
I am a professional photographer and a short film maker
As a vfx artist, i must say that they spend money without seeing much retaliation because raw its not only for grading and color correction theres a lot going on. Its not a profitable camera for a small production company as they mention in the video
sunnyspeed studio they also have the technology. They'll need 128GB ram and double Titan XP to processes and edit the video and process. You can't just record and upload to a computer.
they will feel bad looking it at their 3d hologram displays
And you call yourself a studio
I'm in Canada... The first time I really noticed the advantage of downsampling a hi-res camera signal was when Rogers broadcasting started to use 4K cameras for ice hockey (downsampled to 1080i for OTA broadcast). The details of the scratches on the ice surface were immediately noticeable compared to the 1080i cameras they were using the previous season. It was night and day. A huge improvement in quality.
I think people are forgetting that LTT to quite a large extent is an enthusiast channel. Yes, they offer advice for the budget minded consumer but how many people can actually afford 16k gaming desks or their petabyte project. It's for entertainment and our enjoyment...so enjoy looking at a 140k piece of kit and the IQ that it provides.
Dan Chen! Yes! It's amazing that RED have made such an incredible camera so cheap at $50k. The "issues" discussed in this and Linus' review are like LTT got hold of a GP F1 Ferrari and gave it to his mum to review. She hated that it didn't have a cup holder or a makeup mirror with lights.
Even the care. Those mags don't fault if taken care of properly.
Some people use their camers, not just take care of them :) Just as some people use their expensive cars, not just collect and take care of them.
Care to provide proof that LTT don't take care of their equipment properly? And no, Linus dropping stuff isn't a good example, as he isn't in charge of the cameras.
That was clearly Linus's hand in the shot holding (and screwing around with) the SSDs, is anyone surprised that four failed when they let Linus anywhere near them.... ;-) He probably tried to 'SLI' them...
" they offer advice for the budget minded consumer " I laughed so hard on this one. They stopped doing so couple years now.
I'm telling you guys, 8k footage looks really good at 480p. Try it some time. Maybe live a little.
Downsampling always looks good. The question is where you draw the line of diminishing returns...
Nicholas Tan holy shit
Nicholas Tan did you watch the video?
XD
480p is the new 1080p
I didn't know you guys used Sennheiser AVX. I do too, I love it.
Factors deciding TH-cam video quality: something like 60% content, 30% presentation, 10% video quality (unless it's really bad). They truly are optimizing the 10% ...
But their content and presentation is perfectly fine. Besides, they do more than just make LTT videos.
content about cameras are only interessting for camera user so increase in video qualtity decline in the content field....
Well, not everyone can get away with PewDiePie's 360p quality :-D
lmao I thought the beginning was an ad
ikr, it was sooo good

When your watching this video on a 720p screen.
I would say I feel your pain, but I'm watching this on my 4K monitor.

RED 8K for compressed YT delivery to smart phones. Genius!!
Considering most people have iPhones or cheap android phones these guys paid 50k to deliver 8K content to 720P screens and shitty overstated LED screens
Cicero 219 most flagships have 1080p and up but 90% of android phones are really cheap and equipped with shitty overstated led screens and a lot of people still use old iPhones that have 720p screens
@@foop8964 who. the fuck. watches. anything. ON A PHONE?
i mean, i get it, sometimes you're outside for a long time, and want to watch some headphones review or whatever, fine, but how can one be ok with watching content on a phone full time when most people have at least a 1080p monitor/TV at home, with decent audio output and stuff
It will still look much better than a footage shot on an average DSLR. Its not only compressing the footage but also downscaling.
LOL

Don't you feel bad publicly admitting you're watching Buzzfeed videos?

buys a 150k camera, talks about beeing a small business owner at the end of the video
Sounds about right.
Better equipment cost more than that nowadays. For larger businesses (edging into movie and digital film area) to buy decent cameras goes into the millions, thats why most productions rent.
(Heck, even the mobile rigs that field news people use are up there in the price, but have near zero resell value as they are not indoor only, and thats for 1080p only.)
Though, I would put Linus in more of a medium owner bracket. Once you have over a million subscribers, the ad revenue from that most likely exceeds the small bracket even with overhead. Just my input.
actually it's only 8k
Wait, he's not considered a small business? Shall we just put him into the income bracket of high earners like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, or any other company?
No, because people who can't spell "being" probably have no fucking clue what's even going on right now.
@@JJJJ-uq6gg First off, Hollywood cinematographer do not invest in cameras because each director asks for a different camera based on their film. Because of that, studios or the producers of major films rent all equipment based on what the DP requests. So get your facts straight.
GuGu is right. If you decide to purchase a camera of this calibre, you need to be sure you'll get the use out of it. If the camera isn't being used multiple times a week, throughout the year (while also earning enough to pay for both the camera and operation), you're best hiring a camera for shoots.
I've used REDs in both enviroments. On a multi-million dollar feature and on no budget shorts. They work very differently in each setting. If you can afford to kit one out properly and afford the crew that requires, they will smash pretty much anything out of the water. If you're a solo shooter who is going to slap a lens on the front and start shooting, they'll be your Achilles heal. Like the Alexa Mini, this camera is not designed to support solo shooter enviroments. It works alright, but you'll find better work flow in an FS7 II or Ursa Mini Pro. BUT, if you are shooting on a production with a camera team ready to conquer the challenges and with the proper gear and accessories to make this shine you won't regret it. That being said, the Alexa Mini is a massively superior camera in nearly every way imaginable ( other than resolution).
A "No Budget" short using a RED is no budget thing sir!
@@RomboutVersluijs a 50k camera is still considered low budget in film making
@@CarlosFlores-pl3lb i still dont call it low budget then
@@CarlosFlores-pl3lb How about Panasonic GH5? I would consider that low budget.
Linus is literally giving nuclear weapons to his employees
But not literally literally.

@@manasseberthelsen1522 I'm just poking fun at the overuse of the word "literally"
@@manasseberthelsen1522 or should I say misuse?
The cameras are nuclear weapons because of the fallout that would happen if they got dropped.
8:54 is having to pay $140,000 on 8K Cameras
That camera cost more than my house
The camera is $50k. 6 years ago we filmed HBO series Spartacus on a $250k HD Sony Cam. The best Film Cams cost half a million.
It's arguably THE BEST digital cinema camera ever made. The issue isn't how expensive it is but how cheap it is. Unfortunately now it can be afforded by people who don't know how to use an elite camera.
It's like complaining a F1 Ferrari doesn't have cup holders or lights for the make up mirror.
you have a really shitty house then
Interesting story, Ashley - I thought film cameras, from pocket still cameras to top movie ones were on average cheaper than their digital counterparts?
Why is it arguably the best camera ever made? Because its 8K? I prefer Arri's colour science and except for the specialty areas of VFX, stabilisation and re-framing the extra resolution is not detectable even in a cinema. Check out Steve Yedlin's resolution tests at NoFilm School nofilmschool.com/2017/08/yedlin-camera-resolution-myths
I dont know if RED is the best camera. ARRI Alexa is still better and more reliable workhorse IMHO that's why so many Hollywood cinematographers and directors prefer ARRI over RED.
No one going to mention how good Maxine looks, especially in 4k
she looks like my friend...

Jesus. Yuck. That's fucking fraud. Her without makeup vs with makeup...
here's what 2017 shooters often are NOT taught - a digital camera/cinecamera is like a roll of film (middle ages) based on its iso (asa) - and like film shooters of old - you had to learn to push or pull based on the film's asa and your shooting conditions. native iso today is exactly the same - every camera has a native iso, but experienced shooters will know how and when to push or pull the camera's native iso both to capture the look they want in camera - and knowing what they plan for in post. as cameras evolve, they become more forgiving for those untrained - but at the same time, experienced film makers/photographers will know how to use this new found high-end latitude to their advantage.
I basically treat adjusting gain away from native ISO/ASA as the last resort. So I sit at native. Need it darker? Think on ND's. Need it brighter? Work on the lighting. It's basically when these first solutions don't pan out that I think of adjusting the ISO/ASA. It's certainly more practical in a run-and-gun situation.
How come DSLRs don't have gain controls? Do you know the native ISO of 5D Mark IV? I know with C-log, it's 400, how about without?
Great point! Thank you!
More fitting start to your comment would be 'here's what 2018 English speakers were NOT taught'.

Yo I'm sure there are many people hating on that camera and listing up many other, cheaper solutions, but from my stand point as an average viewer: Damn that footage is frickin beautiful :D
Can I have it when you're done with it? I'll even drive up and grab it 👍😎
PS: I wouldn't know how to even turn it on.
Nah, you would end up figuring it out. It can't be that hard to turn on a $50,000+ camera. Right? At least you aren't required to pay extra to do so.
@@jay-gb well you need an accessory to even turn it on soo.
Apparently it comes with a power button out of the box (and nothing else).
That's easy it basically only has one button or so 😂😂

HELL YEE ULTRA WIDE 4 LAAAF
As a pro editor and media manager in the UK, this seems ridiculous. For LTT material that is primarily, consistently lit and locked off anyway. No wonder you guys need a petabyte of storage! You're an overkill channel though, so what the hell.
Ross Martin if you zoom in 4x when editing, you will get a 4K video. This resolution is a godsend for editors who don't have to worry about degraded quality.
gfjfj ufidi - maybe keep your cameraman away from booze when shooting in the first place and you don't need to reframe later and spend a quarter million bucks ?!?
@@gfjfjufidi2880 It's been a while, but no. if you zoom in 2x on an 8k video, you get a 4k image.

depression "giving Brandon better toys for best productivity"
Naughtysauce that's why Linus has a company where people love coming in every day and doing their best, and you are a commenter with a bad attitude
@potato Derp the ones he mentions?
@@zedmas9744 Yeah, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars so one of your employees can fool around with projects that give nothing back to the company during his free time is business 101. Of course, if I could convince my boss to do the same thing I would be happy to work there every day.
Honest question: Why not use ARRI? Seems like you guys have been suffering from a lot of headaches from this little monster, ultra high res ARRI cameras may not be quite as high-res as the 8k insanity of RED but are typically a lot more reliable and more intuitive to use. ARRIs are a favorite in cinema, guess you just wanted bleeding edge tech?
Arri is the far superior camera in my opinion. Arri has their issue too, but I still prefer the images Arri produces. Even then the best camera in the world is nothing without a good lens. The lenses they are using on their 8K camera don’t do it justice. Throw some Zeiss cp series lenses on there or if they really want the best go for Zeiss master primes. They think the camera is expensive? Just wait until they decide to buy some cinema glass.
Well, it's a matter of workflow i'll say. To me Arri is really the cinematographer's camera, with all the heritage of film stock, and all the analog approach. The ways to expose, set and use the camera is different than Red, as well as for the post-production steps.
Arri is best
This is the first time a video has used the entire length of my Samsung A51's screen without any need of zooming and cutting out the sides of the video . You have no idea how happy I am and wish every video was like this .
just so that we see a 2 minute cooking tutorial. i get it
1:51 Names it alexa. Makes it a logo of Bixby.
Lmao
XD
As a filmmaker, I didn't get the joke until I realised most people don't think of a camera when they hear the name Alexa.
the DXA cine alexa is a reference to the arri alexa mini camera
Thought my Adblock stopped working for a bit there.........
I occasionally watch this video just for the intro 😂
The bars are negative space. If you use an ultra wide monitor, when you go into full screen they disappear. I use an ultra wide because I like having the increased peripherals in games is a huge advantage. Unfortunately that means I have black bars on the sides of videos. Not on this one though. I guess they editor of this video just wanted to make a video for their ultra wide fans.
most movies support 21:9. I'd say 98% of them.
# if it were only 16:9, it wouldn't support uploads of 21:9 footage... Don't you think? ;)
# With the new youtube style, you can watch an ultra wide video in the large view mode and it will expand to both sides of your 16:9 screen. That way, you can watch a video not in fullscreen but still have a fullscreen width. So technically, you are getting a larger video in non-fullscreen mode.
21:9 only offers more field of vision in games which calculate their FOV using a vertical measurement. In games where horizontal FOV is limited, you will actually see LESS than someone on a 16:9 monitor.
Clearly since TH-cam did not re-render this video in a 16:9 frame TH-cam is also 21:9...
cool! my computer gets a bluescreen when i want to view a 1080p video!
I think it's trying to say it wants 8K instead of 1080p

@@frankce3809 corridor crew said that Linus did this to grab more views 🥴
@@frankce3809 well not only their opinions, but also their claims are wrong. And instead of manning up with their mistakes, they removed parts of their video to cover it up. So they should really be trashed, they are disgusting human beings.
@@9622AvAtAr so your saying they should have just left false information in the video to continue the spread of said false information? Cause to me it makes more sense to edit it out so people don’t believe what they used to believe. Also why do people on the internet gotta be so fuckin toxic, they are disgusting human beings because in one video out of hundreds from 3 years ago they made a claim that they didn’t know was false at the time and decided to edit it out?

@@nathanielperry2714 wow, you really didn't get much from what I said, did you? I said "manning up to their mistakes", and that can be achieved multiple ways. They could've own up to their mistake in: a) the description box; b) the comment section; or c) another video.
People who make false claims and make fun of other people (linus) even if they are right and at the end not apologize isn't disgusting for you?

I can completely relate to the benefit of shooting in 8k! In my previous occupation as a Motion Graphic Designer/Video Editor we only had the luxury of a Canon 5d which shot at around 1920x1080 at 25fps with only pathetic Imacs to edit on. Whether we were just adding Lumetri colour, motion tracking, adjusting compositions or throwing on visual effects it was a nightmare with footage looking pixilated on decent displays despite our high quality presets in Encoder. I was actually let go for taking too long over videos thanks to shocking timeline scrubbing previews and rendering when clients were pushing endless amendments with cross-timezone deadlines.
Albert Ellison i feel you bro, i feel you. Stay strong
$130k camera with rolling shutter. 👍🏼
3 Trees Photography yeah I noticed that too, he was talking about how great it is for motion tracking, but he didn't acknowledge how even very subtle rolling shutter can completely destroy a camera track.

Yeah , Ultrawide is the best , fuck 16:9 monitors , it's 2017 ffs , ultrawides are the future
Would advise waiting for the pg35vq to drop since prices will probably drop for the for the 34q along with it or shortly after. worst case scenario you wait a little longer and either way it's worth af
Agreed.
What I love about the short clip from the corridor channel is that they showed off some of the features of a red camera without even saying anything about it
My ultrawide loved this video, Thanks. Do more widscreen!

Is linus allowed to hold the camera? I'm guessing no.
ahahhaa
Imagine the hubris. What a waste of storage media. The vast majority of working cinematographers are shooting on Arri with much more modest resolutions.
I'm getting the impression corridor digital (to which I am actively subscribed) actually knows what they are doing as filmmakers who do vfx on a daily basis.
And Brandon just stole 100k from his company because he had the credit card for a day
More b-roll of Maxine!

The footage that comes off of this camera looks good. But like... not $140,000 good. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I was kinda underwhelmed. I don't think it's far off to assume that a well set up high end dslr or mirrorless camera can match those shots. You also got to understand that those types of cameras will usually cost less as well.
They bought multiple though. It's more like $50,000 camera with $5,000 lenses, and the other $15,000 on accessories for each camera.
They're using Canon lenses, it's on youtube, there's much more to quality : Lighting, Cine lens that cost a third of the camera price.
TheNickle is there anything Beter?
TH-cam literally makes everything look like the same and its honestly shit they should have options for youtubers to chose a lesser compression especially for short films that are published to youtube.
They bought 2 cameras and its not the quality thats 49,000$ good, its how u can customize the camera. It has 100+ more functions then a normal dslr and alot better colors. But more made for a whole crew to use it.
TLDR - Jim Jannard was the owner of Oakley Optics and is the current owner of Red Cameras.
Ready!? STORY TIME!
I used to work at Oakley Optics well back in 2000, and man named Jim Jannard was the brain of it all. A privately owned company founded and headed by a very creative and disruptive individual. Put it this way (and I can't quote where this came from), he was know to have multiple personality disorder and would sketch out his radical designs.... we all remember the ones... the matrix-style headgear, leather and radical angles. Well, he would come back to his work and designs multiple times within his shifts of personality and would alter them. He boasted that his designs were, in part, due to the fact he was having multiple personalty's working on them. This was the kind of guy that wanted to make titanium frame glasses and insisted to do so, before he even understood how dangerous and difficult that actually was. (This was the Oakley line of X-Metal glasses). He bought a TANK at the company HQ and would take managers and staff from around the company for rides around the property in California.
Around the 2003 mark, I think, Luxottica was pushing down on the company. Luxottica basically owned all manufacturing of almost all popular sunglasses and prescription eye wear at the time. Hell, they even owned the places like Lens Crafters that prescribe you the glasses... You think you were looking at a beautiful wall of different brands of frames. WRONG. They were 80 - 90 % owned by them.. they were even making the prescription lenses! They basically told Oakley, in more political words, we need you to cut you margins so we can make more profit on your glasses or, we just wont carry your stuff. Were are talking a monopoly on a scale people can't even fathom. Oakley is basically forced to fold and sell the company after a settlement... there was some lawsuits in there for some patents infringement too I think. Luxottica bought Oakley... and YES, it still exists today in all it's uncontested monopoly glory.
Jim has actually had Red Camera as a side pursuit, started aroudn the 2000's.. it just didn't manifest to any rapid growth and expansion till he relinquished control of Oakley. Fast-Forward to about 2007 and Jim releases Red's first camera.. the RED ONE. Jim's crazy designs and push for protection still exists and is live and well in his new pursuit. Did you ever take a guess why every Red accessory's is SO MUCH MONEY. Have you ever bought Oakley glasses and accessories ?! :D
You still spent too much for your needs, but you should buy what you want, and that is ultimately the case here forgetting the excuses you use in this video. Your camera guru just wanted a RED and you got him one (or two). You don't NEED one, you just wanted one. Heck if I had the cash I'd buy a RED even though I only make 1080p videos...
Also if you're constantly pushing in your shot in post, then you're not planning your shoots properly... it really should only be used for effect or if you've made a mistake in framing.
I love brandons video because 21:9
I respect that LTT got corridor digital to come on as a "we are cool" rather than trying to fire back like children.
Brandon in a video? What kind of sorcery is this?
And I think the quality upgrade really shows. But just as important as the camera are the lights and the set decorations (and the hand model ;) that add to the lovely frame of each of your videos.
Linus Cooking Tips
5:28..max.. amazing. .
The real reason they bought RED 8K cameras.
Shantanu Bharvirkar that's not really that impressive unfortunately, I have taken pictures on my Google pixel that look better. Not impressed.
Calico Studios
Yeah let's not lie now
Calico Studios the reason you probably view your photos as better is because the Pixel does not have as shallow of a depth of field as the lens they're using does. This serves a lot of different purposes which you can do your own research on if you're interested. Point is, no, the image from a phone is NOT as good as this one.
lol i watch ur videos mostly on 240 p -480p😂🤣
Arif Hassan I watch in 4K, on my pc.
1080 i dont have 4k monitor
Don't need a 4k monitor to see the benefits
u cykablyat I watch in 4K.
I also got 1080p, but 2560x1080p
I don't know. You don't really have a solid point to use RED cameras to shoot TH-cam videos. Those cameras are torturing the whole media group. It tortures Linus's wallet, it tortures Brandon, and it mostly tortures the editors. But, you know what, you are enthusiasts who like to play with cool gadgets so, keep doing what you love.
No one:
Linus: How about watercooling one?
That intro probably took longer to make than the video itself
Oh the intro I thought I was watching an advert
Hunnar Kada Barai Niswan pretty sure the whole thing is an ad.
Me starting the video: What kind of ads this is?
What are they trying to show of?
*A wild Brandon appeared*
Me: Damn, that was the video !? Wow, and the worst was that I already watch it...
So, good for big zoom, good for motion detection... essential things while filming PC pieces on an closed studio....
I wasn't blinded, finally a LTT video without the dank af flash.
Am I supposed to think that was a waffle in the intro?
you were buying repacked plain SSDs at a 2000% mark up, thats why they were failing lol. There was no pixie dust! You were scammed
Another point to consider, a $50 Million movie cannot afford to not have redundancy, big productions will be shooting with two cameras.
1 Card Slot=2 Cameras Sold.
RED is a despicable company.
@@budthecyborg4575 Big productions don't buy cameras, they rent them. Also, they don't record internally lots of the times, but externally. I mean, yes, Red is despicable, but this is not so much of a point for high end productions. Red has been targeting the »Apple users« of film makers ever since. And that's the people they are screwing with.
@@ReyMysterioX Ah yes. Targeting the idiots lol
@@ReyMysterioX big productions record to a card. I do VTR and camera for big budgets. They only use footage recorded to the card. Never use footage from the video feed.
Is the video 21:9?
MIND NOVA sure looks like it
MIND NOVA yes
MIND NOVA Yes it is and its beautiful.
Damn right it is!
Yes.
I hate it.
The real reason? Because 4K is so 2016 :P
And so is Vessel I guess :D
2016 = 2160p
Hey LTT, maybe you should explain to the masses how asset handling as a company works. All the nay sayers seem to think that you're literally -140k and this money is never coming back.
Could you summarise? I have no idea and that sounds like an important point...
I mean, the camera itself still holds value.
Charles Britannia Doesn't matter anymore, they all think they're right and smarter than LTT
No need to waste time on these commentators.
The Heartfelt Kid The problem is they already did waste time on the commenters. They made this video and it just justified to everyone complaining that their bullshit had been heard.
AMAAAAAAZING!!! :O - Not just the resolution, but what you can do with it, even if you never use the 8k for final video.
No rendered black bars, nice!
So basically Brandon makes his boss buy 2 $70k cameras so he could shoot stuff outside of work for fun.
Now you don't need to watch it.
Seriously. I bet Linus made him make another video on this because of his frustration.
He was one of the first employees and inportant to their success. My guess is Linus is essentially giving him a bonus as a reward/way to keep him in the company.
When he shoots stuff outside of work for fun, he is actively improving his skills as a cameraman and his skills using the equipment. Other employers send their staff on (often pointless and expensive) advanced training seminars, Brandon does the advanced training in his free time. As a compensation, he gets to use the camera for free. I've had the same agreement with employers before.
Saying that Brandon "made Linus" buy cameras and now exploits him kind of implies that Linus is a dummy who doesn't know what's going on around him. Do you really think he's dumb?
Hell with that level of camera he should be making a fucking feature film.
@@stevemisfit1 You're an unnecessarily aggressive person towards this one random youtube camera guy (or whatever his job description is). Regardless of how dumb the purchase was or wasn't...get your shit together, child.
" because we're starting a cooking show"..my thoughts during the intro
Top cat gang
I had to make sure I was watching the correct video at the beginning
i thought i was watching a cooking tv show
Why is there a cooking intro?
EliteChano to show off the camara
I fell like that scene was an big "Fkck you" to corridor xD
I think the point was that they do more than film reviews.
why not?
(10 minutes)
Brandon is just as good in front of the camera as behind it! You're amazing bro!
yup, brandon is amazing, he needs to be on camera a lot more. He's charismatic, not overly animated, and pretty to the point. I love his camera reviews on short circuit
Love the part with Niko! It’s awesome to see two of my favorite TH-cam channels working together!
This entire comment section "I have never used a red camera and I don't make videos, but I have very strong opinions on why LTT should have bought a different camera that I have never used instead of the red one"
outsider344 I wish I could like this comment more than once. Why are so many people complaining about how LTT spends its money? It's LTT's money, not mine!
Moop Because quality is going down. Have you seen the thumbnails?
LinusMLGTips The thumbnails prove that quality has gone UP, just a screenshot of the video with some text on it was very lazy, this is a step up
It's like buying a Lambo to go from the bedroom to the kitchen.
Zac Alleywalker Lowing So by your dipshit metaphor he should have bought a more sensible car to drive from his bedroom to kitchen? Because he does have to have a camera of some kind, you know, to make the videos with. The camera being a car in your metaphor...
