@@DanFarrar yes I agree, it's an awesome lens. For me, it's much more flexible than the 28-70 that I was using, even though I loved that lens, 20 mm is so much wider than 28. And I have a great 28mm vintage prime, so this was a good move for me. And thanks so much for the kind words and for the constant good energy, it means a lot to me.
@@RockWILK You do a terrific job sharing your thoughts and the production value and edit style is easy on the eyes. I know you don’t watch much TH-camrs (I get that lol) but I did a vid recently I’m pretty happy with. If time permits I’d love to hear your honest feedback. It’s called The Story of the Green Bridge.
It is summer time, weather is nice, spending less time watching youtube. It may just be the summer lull. Interesting b roll, looks like I need to check out the 20-60 on the used sites. I have the 24-105, but it is too heavy for me to carry around all the time. Thanks.
@@steveschnetzler5471 I think it's a great lens. I have a cinebloom filter on it, and I always use an ND filter, but I needed a 20mm focal distance, and the more I use the lens, the more I actually love it. It doesn't Focus as well as my vintage lenses with regards to manual focus, but I actually use the autofocus button to capture Focus sometimes, because the focus ring, even though it's set to "linear", definitely doesn't work like an actual manual lens. And obviously I can't zone focus or anything like that, which is what I'm used to, but having said that, I could have this lens and no other lens and do all my work for sure. It's really awesome. And most importantly, it makes the footage look beautiful. Thanks so much for coming through, and watching this video, I really appreciate that a lot.
You truly have a gift that is rare on TH-cam. You share your experience and views on creating art that reaches a wide audience and focuses on inspiring others. You don't just talk about inspiring others, you actually DO inspire myself and the people that watch your videos. I used to concern myself with watch hours. But, as someone who works full time, I still struggle with making videos. I have a lot of products that I acquired for the sake of making reviews. But, I'm at a point where I want to create narrative work more than product reviews. It's a mental wrestling match between my ears. But, I try to keep my head above water and focus on writing stories. Mostly short stories at the moment. There are moments where I look at my subscriber count and wonder what do I need to do to boost the numbers. But, now I try not to think about that so much, and turn my focus back to storytelling. And there in lies another struggle. I try to outline a compelling story. Sometimes I'll script out a scene in script form with dialogue. I find that I write good dialogue, but still struggle with the story itself. And that's my journey so far. I'm sorry that you're getting such a run around with Patreon. I have a couple people that I support on Patreon, but I recently realized I'm not interested in what they're doing right now. So, I'm going to see about switching my support to you on Patreon. Hopefully, I won't run into the road blocks you talked about. Thanks again for another compelling and inspiring video. Your talks really help with keeping me going. I could not be more grateful for your work. Thank you.
For me, the story always comes first, and then the characters who are going to drive that story, but I can see creating characters and then the journey they'll take, but I think that's more of a challenge. But either way, once you get a good page or two, you will be well on your way, and that is a great place to be. Chasing down the story to the end. What happens along the way to solving the problem. An amazing way to make art, at least to me. ;) Thanks so much for all the kind words, as always, and I am VERY INTERESTED in what happens if you really go to my Patreon and become a paying member. There's a link in the description here. Please let me know if there are still issues. Pisses me off. ;) And THANK YOU for considering joining. I will honor your support, my word. Good luck on your narrative work, you'll find so much more spiritual fulfillment in that kind of focus over views, subs and watch hours. Look at how my videos have slowed down since I got to 1000. It's insidious, but I'm not here to play that game. I'm keeping it organic, always....
@@AllThingsFilm1 I really appreciate that, thank you so much. The problem was actually when people were trying to sign up for the higher tiers, it seemed like patreon was only allowing people to sign up for the lowest tier. Either way, I am humbled and I will honor your support, thank you so much
Beautiful episode, and the idea of being true to oneself, and not chase the clicks, will feel better by each year passing, Like the Alfred Tennyson poem "Ulysses": We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
@@PH-0046 ... and not to yield". Amen and forever. Thanks so much for the kind words, and for the inspiration. It is much appreciated and not taken for granted.
Hell man, the insight on this is awesome. I am about to finish filming a ton of crap to start my own channel. In Portugal from all places and in portuguese from all languages. Is it a wise decision to go with portuguese and not english? I don't know. But damn I want to give out something to my community, tell something, help folk out. Let's hope this algorithm thing helps out. And let me edit this comment to add the following, yeah it might seem like these companies are stopping you from growing and one might feel influenced by "Curated by the website to you", but yeah, be yourself nonetheless. I also see myself as an artist, photography being the big deal here and this is maybe why I also don't see myself as a content creator and this is also why I have this gut feeling that I might fail at this TH-cam game. But I won't quit!
You won't fail. You can't, because you are the only person who gets to decide something like that, and the fact that you want to contribute to your own community is everything. If you're concerned about language, why not add English subtitles to make it more "global". I appreciate this message, thanks so much for coming through and taking the time to comment, it means a lot, and let me know when you open up your channel. As much as I won't understand the language, I would love to see what you do. I watched the film 1917 without sound a few times, so words are not always necessary to tell a great story. There's that... ;) Peace and respect and thanks again.
20-60mm is well above average IMO. Nice roll with the video shots! background music is A+. Thanks for the push…you motivate my friend 👍
