    How crazy would it be if people 100+ years from now looked back at this video the way some of us look at videos from the early 1900’s showing everyday life? It’s actually pretty neat comparing this video to some of the older ones, like the famous one recording Market St. in downtown San Francisco 4 days before the great earthquake of 1906.

    The combination of the GH5, 8-18mm F2.8-4.0 lens, an external shotgun stereo mic, the raw and natural settings of the image, and a quality stabilizer sets a foundation to this style of film making. It's a perfect combination in my opinion. No editing or talking gives me the "you are there" factor. You and Rambalac are pioneers. Thank you for your work.

      Nine Ball right on and thanks! Add strength, endurance and lots of money for the gear to that list. I usually hold up fine for the first 30 minutes or so, then my arms, shoulders and core start feeling the weight of the equipment. It’s a killer workout.

      frank 4434 the camera, gimbal, microphone, field recorder and lens weigh in at about 8lbs. Which isn’t much weight outside the context of carefully holding it out in front of me for an hour.
      When I was in elementary school one of our punishments was to hold a dictionary out in front of us until our arms felt like they were going to fall off. It’s like that.

  • @Blujonny11
    @Blujonny11 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I feel like maybe there needed to be a dry run the day before to map out the most inspiring areas. This reminded me of other cities where the downtown is mainly a business district so there's a huge lull between the daytime hustle and when actual nightlife begins. It seems like the interesting parts don't begin until about the 27 minute mark. Still it seems like a beautiful place to live.

    • @RelaxingWalks

      David Diehl we really enjoy it here. We moved here from Austin a bit over a year ago. I work downtown and enjoy the city and live north of it. We chose Raleigh because of the proximity of major cities, the ocean and the mountains and there were IT jobs. The cost of living is average I would say. I’m surprised more people haven’t already moved here. It’s ideal for us, we’re always finding something new and interesting every weekend. My favorite is the North Carolina Museum of Art.
