Hyce, I have to say that your 105k is definitely earned. You have grown so much as a creator in the last two years, and I'm excited for when 1 million comes. Keep going, my man! Your content is amazing!
Thank you, my friend! I am *far* from an expert in the camera/lighting/visual side of things but I am trying to learn it the best I can. I appreciate you noting the efforts.:)
On a cold wintry morning the Men of the Colorado Railroad Museum prepared 491 for her the days task of pulling the Colorado Express. This train will take people to a place of the past and experience what riding the rails truly meant at one point in time. Its not an easy job but the men and women of this job are happy to do it, for the fun, for the glory and for the people. We're grateful that we who Cannot be there get to witness it all in 4K. Merry Christmas and Hapy New Year to the volunteers of the Colorado Railroad Museum.
Another good one, Hyce! Loved the cam placement on the ash pit/tender refill service track- was awesome to see 491 roll over; felt like a "All Praise Peaches!" moment
Amazing to see how far the channel has come in the last 2 years, we started in Hyce's seattle apartment with videos behind the music of RRO, now we get cinematic shots of peaches at the CRRM
A better camera does NOT make better videography. But what it does, is give you better tools to actually use the skills you already have and also the tools, to further improve on those skills. This shows. Some pretty amazing shots in there and overall a very nice video. Thanks for that! If I may allow myself a bit of feedback; I think both getting/using a tripod (especially on those long shots) and more courage for manual focus (so the focus stays on the engine even when people pass through the frame) would do a further difference. But already now that's "lamenting on a high level" as we say in German.
Aye, manual focus is something I want to work on. I also need a better tripod and I didn't have a strap yet for this camera lol so this is all freehand. One of these days! Haha
A beautiful site of incredible videography and the talent of Hyce and the rest of the crew at the Colorado Railroad Museum, A true masterpiece, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year
As a young man, I've always been fascinated by planes, trains, and automobiles. I strived to follow in my father's footsteps of being in the air force and flying a f16. (he worked on the numerous computer systems of the f15 in the late 80's) alas, this plan didn't come to fruition, but my fascination of all marvelous machines hasn't ever dwindled. When I stumbled upon your channel last year, I knew next to nothing about steam locos, and now I know slightly more about them all due to your knowledge that you share Hyce. I live within driving distance of the east broadtop railroad, and had I more free time, (3 kids etc) I would volunteer my time, just to be around these incredible machines made 90-100 years ago. Thank you for bestowing your knowledge of all things steam. Fantastic video as others have mentioned, cinematic beauty.
👏 Crisp and smooth and looks so impressive with the new camera! Professional looking productions have been Hyce’s staple, but this will ensure they continue to shine. 👍
Great video as usual! Usually I'm not one to enjoy music that is playing during a video, but I'll make an exception for this kind of thing. Like I said before, great as usual and keep up the amazing work!
Love the content and am really happy i stumbled across this channel. I recently started to get into trains and have been learning so much about them through you and really appreciate the detail and depth as well as the dedication you put into trains and sharing them. Don’t have any train museums close to me but fly in and out of Denver for work a lot and hope to stop by the museum one day!
The qualty of that new camera is excellent, but it must be said that even the best camera is wasted if it isn't being pointed in the right direction, and let me tell you, you picked some absolutely stunning shots for that camera. Great job as always Hyce.
I've got to say Mark, I'm so happy to see how far this channel has come through the years. I definitely found you when you played with kAN, but have stayed for the wholesome, & joyous content. I'm glad to see your channel growing and am happy you joined the Sony Team. You've got an extraordinary talent with music, a natural gift that's been honed with camera work, & a superb story telling ability. Congrats on passing 100k and here's to many more!
Oh wow, I had no idea the fidelity would be that different! Congratulations on the new tech, and thank you so much for continuing to share these amazing sights and sounds with us!
Dude, it is like we are there... I can almost smell it. That really is a great camera, and well worth the investment. The quality of the videos to come will be amazing.
I'll just come right out and say it, when you make a video that reduces a man past the 40 milestone to a smiling mess of tears, you've got skills and content worthy of admiration... I could barely keep myself together for the feature film, but the behind the scenes outtakes had me completely dying. From starting to rock my feelings with coal in the hole and Leighton in action to the perceived end with the Polar Express entry, so darn good footage I'm at a loss of words. Then Bubbles rocks on after the credits just adding to the pressure and Leighton with the coup de grâce at the end, can you really blame me? I needed to say this, no matter how it makes me look, I don't care because I'm a happy mess that needs to clean up. Maybe a course in filming and photography would take it to new heights, but what's here already gave me much more than innumerable others have managed through a video. You might think you're a fiddling mess with ten thumbs when you're filming Hyce, but there's clearly talent and progression made that should be nurtured and not just be looked at by the perfection trap that many engineers and craftsmen have a tendency to fall into. If it wasn't clear already, thank you Hyce and everyone at Colorado Railroad Museum for making this possible, I would thank you all by name but I'm too fearful of leaving anyone out of their well deserved praise.
Goddamnit Mark, THIS, is why I'm subbed to this channel and give you shmecals with a membership. Wonderful video and great music to go along with it. :)
The new Sony is top-tier. The snifters lift, the blowdown has a drip, the air doors open to a dancing fire, and the outside frame “Big Mike” looks like it floats with no wheels down the track In the snow with an extra express a week and change before Christmas. It’s magic. (Jokes aside, great camera work breaking in the new hardware. Framing and acuity are chef’s kiss🤌.)
Around here there's a local tree company that sells firewood. I wonder if any tree companies near you would be willing to give you wood as a donation to the museum. I bet they could probably even find some stuff to give you that they might not otherwise be able to sell.
Hi Mark, this video is beautiful! Detail shots of Peaches is always a treat. I so liked watching her pull into the station and hearing Jingle Bells sound through the whistle. And observing the crew getting her ready for Polar Express is so fun. Wish I could be there to help and learn! As always Mark, your videography is excellent as you virtually take us there! I so enjoy these CRRM moments! Many thanks for this and as always cheers to you Professor!
Beautiful pictures and great camera work! This is a massive step up for the channel and can’t wait to see what you do with it. As someone who works is TV/Broadcasting was a little heart broken to see the dead/stuck pixel in lots of the shots (sorry is quite literally part of my job spotting and fixing those, sometimes you can’t just turn off ‘work’ mode). It was nothing you did, they just happen for lots of reasons. Hopefully you found a way to fix it, or the camera did. But if you ever need help with camera/technical things feel free to ask! Also if you don’t have some already HIGHLY recommend getting some ‘Magic Arms’ and ‘super clamps’ (Manfrotto or Impact). And would love to see some shots with a 14mm prime lens, Samyang 14mm f2.8 mk2 is a great cheap lens that’s also ‘de-clicked’ Also worth looking into ND filters as using shutter instead isn’t your friend for video.
Question for you Hyce. Do your steam locomotives have an emergency steam release valve lever in the cab? For example, if you, while underway, experience a situation in which the steam pressure starts rising to dangerous levels beyond the structural integrity of the boiler and no matter what you can't get the steam pressure to drop back down to a safe level. Is there a lever in the cab you could pull to vent out that steam and thus prevent a catastrophic explosion from happening? I know Steam ships have an emergency steam release valve. That is to protect the ship's boilers from exploding if the ship starts taking on water and cold seawater ends up coming into contact with the red hot boilers with very high steam pressure still present.
We have several automatic safety valves for this purpose, yes. They are designed and sized such that they can always vent more steam than the boiler can generate.
@Hyce777 That's a relief to know. I presumed your locomotives have a safety valve like that, but now I know for certain. Thanks for responding. I hope you have a good day.
Think of how cool it will be to do smore`s in the cab of a steam locomotive with the Polar Express and think of your whistle in the cold and think of the echo at night time. You can try and do more Christmas songs and one time you should do a double header with the Polar Express
Just got the basic shake down on firing PCRR No3. Awesome to see a different process, oil vs coal, small vs large. Even if the comparison is just a. Glimpse. By the way, the new camera looks great.
Love the new camera (which does justice to the skill of its cinematographer)! What do you do to for a draft when starting up? Run the blower on shop air?
We wait until we get steam, unless we're behind for some reason. The engines draft decently well while cold, surprisingly. This was from a hot engine still - she had 25 lbs from the day before, so we used her naturral blower.
Nice photography and choice of guitar music. you play similar style?) A suggestion when editing your audio. In right channel, keep your mix of music and live locomotive sounds... but for the left audio channel, turn the music down by 70%, but keep live steam sounds full normal volume. This will let audience choose if they want to listen to more detail without as much music layered on top, or if they want to listen to the "full mix" with musical effect layered in.
awesome video right there hyce and the song fit really well with it too. really came together nicely speaking of songs is the OLD ro OST ( your'e ver ) still available to buy some where i'd like to get a copy.
Peaches is such a darling. I could watch her chuff around all day. On a random note, I clicked on to this video just in time for it to roll over to 491 likes. Perfect timing.
Watching this on my phone at break and holy f*** is the quality good!! Even on a four year old cheap phone! Love that music too, do my ears hear me some bull fiddle in there?? Thanks for sharing!!

This is legit professional camerawork. Great job as usual.
i live 40 minutes from the CRM and still have not been since i was a child. Next warm day i will ride my motorcycle down and say hi!
Now im normally pretty stoic but, through this whole video, my jaw was on the floor from the improvement of video quality from the new camera.
The detail in the paintwork alone, I also loved the shot of the blowdown!

Damn Hyce! Love that new bull fiddle of yours driving the music!!! As an octave lower octave slower kinda guy myself I love it!!!!
The Jingle Bells at the last clip was super wholesome. Stuff like that is why I love the people in this industry 🤣
4k looks amazing, and I'm glad you applied it to this video.
Awesome job Hyce this is one of my new favorites! That is some Great camera work and that awesome music made the whole video even better!

Most impressive. Next step, liquid cooled firebox camera.
Another video to watch on repeat for hours on end!
Fantastic . thank you sir. Happy Holidays to you and yours
Nothing like hearing a piece of machinery just doing its thing. I could so fall asleep and sleep like the dead listening to steam locomotives.
