One thing I've noticed is how much your confidence has grown, not just in front of the camera but in your overall presence. It's really great to see you doing well.
100% mostly here for you as a personality, rather than any specific content. Bring on the tutorials, bring on the hobbies, bring on the silly stuff. As a fellow gardener, I would be so down to see you sharing stuff about your gardening journey. It's a fun hobby!
YES! Trying to get into gardening (or at least learning about it) myself, so it's nice to see fellow techy peeps trying to get into it as well! EDIT: didn't even get to the LEGO part yet - YES TO THE LEGO TOO! you're living the absolute dream!
Honestly, I don't even care about the video editing stuff (although your work is excellent!) but I definitely want to see more about you and your hobbies. LEGO and gardening FTW!
Man, seeing Taran being this happy is contagious. We all need some contagious joy in our lives. Also about the autofocus. When I do photography I use autofocus to get me into the rough ballpark of where I need to be, but past that manual is best. Id suggested getting used to manual focus because it's sooooo much easier once you practice a little.
Yes, I agree. But. I am not behind the camera in this instance. I filmed once already having set the focus manually, and it was too blurry to use. Had to film again.
On any Sony body from a7iii on, face priority autofocus is totally reliable. There's no reason to go back to the awkward old manual setup. Especially if you're ever gonna hold anything up to camera or ever fidget.
Manual focus is wonderful because on a good camera it's so predictable. Autofocus the past few years is a fascinating subject. Apple integrating LiDAR with iPhone cameras is a really interesting taste of the "future" where we might manually set a position to correct focus instead of distance to focus at. Also... imagine a DSLR that can tell you exactly how far away points are so you can setup faster and more accurately without needing a big screen or relying on autofocus only.
@@opx4real AF has gotten great, though sometimes any shift in focus is more noticeable than letting things blur slightly- especially in scenes where background is important. There's great reasons for both.
Photography is very different from video(especially vlog style content), you don't want to go manual unless you are going to set your focal length to something that won't Bokeh too much or if you have a lot of professional experience shooting. Experience or not though, vlog-style content should usually be shot on auto cause it's quick and dirty
Been following since the old LTT days in the house I always loved your shenanigans and it was even better when I found your channel cant wait to see more ;) Pro tip: I know its obvious but a new mic would make this setup perfect.
I always dreamed about having a LEGO room in my house when I became an adult. So happy for you that you’re in a position to pull that off and have that in your life.
Taran man it's good to see your still kicking brother glad to hear your doing well. Congrats on the up and coming wedding please tell me that all the LTT family will be there. Also great idea make Linus the ring boy for the practice run of the wedding you guys would probably get a kick out of it. But yah Taran I'm glad you are still around hear on TH-cam because it would not feel the same to lose someone who help shape so many people with the works you have had your hands on looking forward to see what you have in store for us all. Thanks again Taran.
@@tailsorange2872 you’re right I went real hard on the “member berries” I should have honestly been more subtle thanks for the criticism! But do you know what’s not subtle?
Im not interested in legos whatsoever, but man, I watched the whole thing and couldnt stop. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL OMG. I know its weird but I feel so happy for you dude, genuinely. I learnt everything I know about video editing thanks to you. Its amazing to see how far making this move in your life took you. You look, sound and even move like a better version of yourself man. I really wish you the best my friend, keep it up!
Taran is the most true form of nerd, and extremely multifaceted. I love it and identify with it, all that's left is being really into dnd. I'm so extremely glad things are going well and I'm keen to watch more :)
I was kinda sad to know that you were leaving LMG, but I am happy about this update It's great to see that you are thriving and that makes me happy I also wanted to say other stuff, but I forgot Good vibes, I shall await patiently for your next videos and with no pressure or expectations, just talk what you want with the passion that you transmit and I shall be happy
+1 re:highlighter assets. The animator I work with made his own highlighter and also Scotch tape assets, totally worth it. Really cool to see that you're editing for some other channels as well.
I feel like with Taran mentioning how he's felt less busy since leaving LMG further proves Madison's points on twitter/X about how she felt overworked and maybe this is all showing a much darker side of LMG and their management.
I am here for the content Taran throws out. So that would mean your tutorials, yes, but also all the other stuff. In fact the other stuff is truly why I'm watching. Your journey from LTT to this is inspiring in many ways to me. Keep this up Taran. You're doing great.
Taran, we love you for you. Even those of us who will forever remain internet strangers. Don’t worry too much about taking things seriously or apologizing for being yourself. We know what we signed up for. Also you may already know this but there exists a machine called xyron that will make anything into a sticker. I’ve found it works great for custom lego projects.
I'm all in for whatever stuff you want to speak about. You're such a fun and interesting person. I'm hooked to any topic you mention and I always end up learning something new or being inspired somehow!
Good to have you back Taran. The moment I heard you're doing part 2 for the 4 -hour long editing tutorial I started to smile and now I can't stop. Can't wait to see that! Also, about the focus - The a7sIII should have excellent autofocus, if you want you can change it to always focus on a specific point and never move, whatever's there will be in focus, that could help a lot if you don't wanna use manual focus because I get that would be hard when you need to be in front of the camera.
Great to see you doing well Taran, love the Lego, 100% should do a channel dedicated to Lego builds, time-lapses etc, I'm sure alot of people would love watching them
Man I just wanna be here to see you, idc if it’s tutorials or you being passionate about legos or taking up new hobbies. I’m here for the ride. Subbed to the second channel. Let’s get a play button for that second channel now 😂
Just saw the video with the toilet paper where you announced your departure at LTT. Congrats on going solo, I've seen you on camera a few times. I'm a motion designer here in Belgium and your work is very inspiring. I started going freelance for a year now and it's very empowering. I came from a very poor background and related to your story a lot. Wishing you all the best.
Just wanted to say that I really look forward to whatever you want to share, and I enjoyed this video full of personality. On a side note to your Lego buildings, I am astonished by your interior decorating and the detail to which you go to recreate reality with those wonderful bricks. Also I hid some of the fluffies you showed in your Intel tech upgrade at my SO place, since it is such a cute way to surprise someone, as well as create some kind of fantasy world with them in it.
Came for the Lego thumbnail, paused and was glad once I saw the WAN hoodie and remembered seeing that LTT video and recognized the logo that this is that really cool guy that left LTT to pursue his own thing. Neat!
I am here for whatever videos you put up lol. I do enjoy "day in the life" style videos as well. Edit: for an even more New York, New York apartment vibe you could have a communal bathroom and long, skinny units.
not to be creepy, i mean this in the best way, it is so good to see you again, i look forward to it, and i want to say that it is very noticable that your confidence has grown in front of the camera
Have been hoping to see more content from you since the Loupedeck review (which was bloody awesome and was such a massive help btw). Best of luck with the next journey, thanks for letting us be part of it.
Congrats on getting married soon, and enjoying your life! That is awesome! Congrats also on going out on your own! I am excited to see what your journey here will be. Just be your authentic self, and you will do great!
Holy hell dude your Lego house blew me away. Please please please keep us updated on the town, I'm dying to see more. I also remember that you said you or your dad was gonna build a new table from wood on your property? I'd love to see how that goes, as I also agree that Ikea tables might not be the best in quality :)
Office in one bedroom, Legos in the other, what are you two doing, sleeping on the couch? LOL Good Luck with the new life chapter, I'm subbed up and ready to watch!
As a NY'r, I totally agree with your girlfriend on how the bathrooms are here 🤣 I love the penthouse as well, awesome job on the whole building! You're definitely having a great time getting settled in that's for sure 🙂 I most definitely look forward to more updates in the future!
Your LEGO building is excellent! I really think you need to do more LEGO videos. Even if you just post videos of your builds that would be great because these ones are amazing, but it would be great to see some videos of your building process and how your ideas evolve. Great job man, glad to see you loving your new life and really enjoying yourself.
Glad you're doing well Taran! You were my fave from the LMG crew a few years ago and I just followed this channel for your sense of humour tbh. Post whatever you like!
Honestly idc about any editing videos. Its great that you do them for those in need, im sure you know LOTS about that. But yeah i mainly subbed for the treehouse and you
I am actually so excited to see the future of your channels and all the content to come! Congrats on all the great things in your life going on right now! :)
Great camera! And also best of luck with everything your doing! Busy man! Would be great to see more about your hobbies like the gardening and lego. Getting into gardening myself. Love what you did with the lego, i wouldn't know where to start with designing stuff. Nice work!
Dang Taran I like you more all the time! I've always loved LEGO and gardening and even have a Night Sky Petunia of my own! It's great to see you so happy
When I saw your video however many months ago, I thought you looked emotionally so intelligent, so I followed. Your intro made me understand why the universe pointed me to you. I left my job of 15 years, a month ago. My last day is Sunday, they have pulled all the stops to keep me and I was in a very comfortable, very well paying position. However, I decided to chase the content creation venue. Seeing the time you took between that video and you quitting, I get that I am allowed to also take time to emotionally rebuild to present my best self to the world. I wish you much success and will look forward to more of your videos. With love from Montreal!
as someone who loves lego, seeing all the detail and backstory behind your designs and why you designed them the way you did is really neat. youre a very creative and talented builder.
Looking forward to watching all of your stuff! I'm very interested in seeing your epic LEGO stuff. Am also interested in the peripherals you have on your desk. Are they for editing? Are they useful? Can you use them for other things (e.g. CAD, streaming, video games)?
So happy to see you're doing well. It really is amazing to see the lives of people I've been watching for years grow and change. LTT has really changed so many lives. Keep up the good work Taran!
One thing I've noticed is how much your confidence has grown, not just in front of the camera but in your overall presence. It's really great to see you doing well.
Yep, I agree, Taran seems to have more energy here.
next step for full hapinness will be switch to Davinci
Undoubtedly true. It's good to see.
Not a good ideea to tell viewers to leave, he should have learned from Linus
@@Warclimb64 I`m sure that will resolve everything. Wondered why no one made that joke already, had to.
sorry haha

Gardening content would be 👌I would love that.
Honestly, I don't even care about the video editing stuff (although your work is excellent!) but I definitely want to see more about you and your hobbies. LEGO and gardening FTW!
I’m here for both :)
This all the way
Totally agree, less editing and more gardening FTW!
yeah I forgot how exciting it is for someone to show off something they're passionate about.

Can't wait to follow this new journey Taran, really hyped to see where you go, good luck!
Never would have thought I'd be so stoked for a treehouse video.
Not a Nintendo fan, eh?
wait, is this the real colton??? O:

It's 8pm in Italy, the sun is about to set. I'm drinking my water, petting my dog and watching Taran's Lego tour. Life is good.
I was kinda sad to know that you were leaving LMG, but I am happy about this update
It's great to see that you are thriving and that makes me happy
I also wanted to say other stuff, but I forgot
Good vibes, I shall await patiently for your next videos and with no pressure or expectations, just talk what you want with the passion that you transmit and I shall be happy
Taran is my inspiration. He quit his job to build a shit ton of Lego and visit his tree house. I couldn't love him more
fuck yea dude taran is goat
I've got heavy into gardening this year, my front yard looks like a jungle, so relaxing.. nice to see your enjoying yourself sir.
+1 re:highlighter assets. The animator I work with made his own highlighter and also Scotch tape assets, totally worth it.
Really cool to see that you're editing for some other channels as well.
aww dude this all sounds awesome, please don't get yourself overwhelmed but I do look forward to the e-bike video, and editing p2.
I love this guy. Hes so genuine, kind and sweet.
I feel like with Taran mentioning how he's felt less busy since leaving LMG further proves Madison's points on twitter/X about how she felt overworked and maybe this is all showing a much darker side of LMG and their management.
That’s what I think as well
Love your vibe Taran, always have. So glad to see you again!

Folding Chable, a man of distinction as well
Glad to see you're doing well! Looking forward to seeing more Taran videos in the future. Love your long tutorials
I am here for the content Taran throws out. So that would mean your tutorials, yes, but also all the other stuff. In fact the other stuff is truly why I'm watching.
Your journey from LTT to this is inspiring in many ways to me. Keep this up Taran. You're doing great.
Glad you're able to pursue this, looking forward to what's to come!
I can't believe you made actual NYC apartments to scale! Excited to have you back :)

Woah!! Love the attention to detail on that LEGO model you did!
I'm here for you taran! Not just your tutorials. So glad to see you doing your own thing now.
Love everything that you've shown in the video. Can't wait to see what's gonna come out of your crazy head!

Glad you're motivated and happy, Taran! Best of luck to you brother.
The idea of how you keep work and play separately is ingenious!! haha. good luck with YT Taran. Hope to see good stuff from you
Glad to see your doing well and enjoy the new journey.
You seem so happy, it really shows in how relaxed you are. Looking forward to the next vid!

Oh hey, Legal Eagle. I love his stuff. Congrats on striking out on your own!
Im beyond excited to see more of what your doing with legos!
Looking forward to watching all of your stuff! I'm very interested in seeing your epic LEGO stuff. Am also interested in the peripherals you have on your desk. Are they for editing? Are they useful? Can you use them for other things (e.g. CAD, streaming, video games)?
i love the smooth transition between voice-over and normal voice
Glad to hear you are having a great time! The Lego stuff looks fun!
Excited to follow you on your new journey!
So happy to see you're doing well. It really is amazing to see the lives of people I've been watching for years grow and change. LTT has really changed so many lives. Keep up the good work Taran!
Loved the Lego stuff! I also recently relived my childhood by collecting Harry Potter Lego big time haha. The builds look awesome!
I don't know why it makes me so happy to know all about what you've done, i can't stop smiling. I'm rooting for you and this channel!
