i love this channel way to mutch. first intro is so perfect and this outro. also your voice is so relaxing to listen to. same as anthony from ltt. you need to do some voice overs, you will be great at it.
First creator channel I ever subscribed to. Great story teller and video craftsman yet no fuss. It's like eating a simple omelette at a 3 star restaurant. Cheers :)
Hi Paul! Love the opening shot! And spotted immediately why you needed to reshoot 🤣 Honestly, the cloud cover of the second shoot felt more appropriate/dramatic so I think it worked out in the end. Also, good on you for following a path that's right for you. :)
I've missed you. One of best channels in the UK, because you are British and you know what you are talking about and you really are great at what you do.
@@extrashot, Hope you review the new Panasonic GH6 mate. I'm a filmmaker that uses the GH5 & GH5s, I can't wait for you to do a nice long review of it! If you are going to review it, please say Hi to Mark Forbes (That's me) who is a filmmaker. :)
If it’s not selling you stuff it’s selling you “cinematic” lighting tutorials. So now we spend more time setting up than we do capturing stories. Yeah, lovely cinematic lighting for someone reliving a personal tragedy!
We never forgotten you ! Very wise words along with a great video as always except for the great big nob at the right hand side of you on the beach (end of video!) Fab Humour!
Your channel is currently 10x bigger than mine, and I get the same number of 'collaboration’ requests. It's nuts, and I too don't get involved anymore. In fact, the whole camera TH-cam thing is wearing a bit thin on me now, which is why my channel is changing direction. I'll continue to watch you because I enjoy your playful sense of fun and subtle comedic inserts. It's a double whammy when it's educational too. You were missed by the way. 👍
Glad to see you're back. Your new direction is convincing enough that for the first time since browsing so many TH-cam videos for so long, I actually hit the subscribe button for the first time.
Yes!! 100% co-signing with the new direction. Seeing all the camera reviews on the Sony A7 IV drop at the same time was the last straw for me. Looking forward to seeing the new content!
Hey, just found your channel. Must say this is probably the most sensible, honest video ive seen in a while! Ive just been through a period of being sent free gear ending up making videos I didnt feel good about. That has now changed into making videos to have better memories for myself, and if that inspires other on the channel its a cool bonus. This video only reinforced my newfound mindset. Still learning video and editing. Having fun in the process is an important factor! Cheers for making this!
Thanks for your comment Daniel, nice of you to say so. It's a difficult subject but we have to make stuff that makes us feel good. There's no point otherwise! Thanks also for pointing me to your channel... I love the direction you're taking it. Nice work and relevant points for all creators. 👍
Where is that quadruple-thumbs up again? Thanks and good to see/hear from you again. The Algo might have forgotten, humans (and elephants, they say) don't... made good use from "an object" that you mentioned way back, came in handy for a production... thanks.
I'm so happy you are back :) , and if I may -> I love to learn more autofocus technics, or how to improve them and to use them in video; always thank you and keep up 🙌 , Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Oh boy that was worth the wait!👏🏾 Your sabbatical soul searching has paid off Paul. Your decision as to your future content is totally refreshing because I reached the the same conclusion about the ethics of many tech related TH-cam Channels, which resulted in myself getting bored and questioning the authenticity of the content. So I started to cut my subs to increase the quality. 🙏🏾 Ps: you got me laughing when you could not avoid having a dig at JVC! 😂
I'm very pleased you agree Eugene. You can see a lot of channels struggling with the dilemma of all the 'free stuff' they get offered. Be nice to change the conversation to more important things. Take care.
Love the video. So glad to see you are going to be making more vids. And so glad to see you keeping it honest and taking your channel in a different direction.
Loved this video! Great to see you back btw! I just stumbled on your channel, pretty much the same time you took a break. So I thought you might’ve checked out for good. Glad that’s not the case. I thoroughly enjoy everything you have to say, and your great insight! Also, did you have to reshoot the opening scene bc what was drawn on the beach, in the sand? Immediately caught my eye 😅
your videos are amazing, you are one of those creators that make content with real value for learning about filming editing and gettin better in general, you create culture, thanks for that ....
I just want to sincerely thank you. Its about time actually said it. The final straw for me was two very large TH-cam personalities referring to the iPhone 13 as "a cinematic beast" I think the real issue is with so many new people coming into the game so is so much misinformation and bias doing the rounds. Ps...if you didn't etch it into the sand, I will be so disappointed 🤣
JVC made good video recorders though ... (drumroll please). On a serious note, I respect your new approach so much that if there was a double subscribe button I would hit it.
I'm a fan of cinematic, and every time there are new cameras, I can't stop myself to think, If I want to upgrade. This video helps me a lot Currently I'm using sony zve10. I'm starting following you Sir
Welcome back and the direction change is most welcome too. First tutorial can be about post production and object removal. You can use the final drone shot as your sample footage and remove the disproportionate phallic art piece 😉.
Ciao amico ! Your words should be the motto for a lot of us that every day waste his time on the tube looking for the last geek! thanks from Swizerland
Good Morning/evening... ! THANK YOU, thank you, for this video so much healthier than the one, where we sell you only a product while trying, in the best case, to remain objective. I love your philosophy and i will continue to follow you from Belgium where i live. I also really liked the humor in this video, especially bon the end shot. Good continuation mister "extrashot" 😁
Great video! Would be great to see you make a video using older equipment, and how it doesn't matter hugely when compared to story/content. I shoot with the fs7 and am just about to buy a used fs5, even though I could upgrade to the fx9 and fx6, as business wise it doesn't make sense to pay for more expensive camera's at the moment!
Having just seen the news that Sony are struggling to get semiconductors and therefore halting production of the Alpha 7 II, a6400, a6100, the ECM-B1M microphone and the Z190 you need not have worried as it looks as though they won't have anything to send you anyway.
Sony are masters at hype , every single product they announce no matter how trivial is guaranteed to flood TH-cam with a hoard of clickbaiters professing their undying love for it
@@jimstirling7223 The reason is that sending a few cameras out to TH-camrs is so much cheaper than a few ads in magazines. Canon on the other hand don't seem to get this hence Sony leading them in sales even though the Sony colour science still creates magenta images most of the TH-camrs followers believe the problem has been solved because they are being told this by the Influencers. I don't blame Sony for this in fact they are very switch on as you say compared to a lot of other companies. I do hope sooner or later there are more restrictions on advertising via influencers but of course this will never happen. I have had a number of occasions to pick up on what influencers have obviously not even tested the product properly and have made claims that are not true. There was a case yesterday where Rode claimed their new Lavalier II microphone having a front facing capsule is a revolutionary new design. This is completely untrue as there have been broadcast lavaliers such as the Tram T50 around for years. Rant now over and by the way I was for all my life a Sony user but I have sold everything and bought a Canon which to my mind has much nicer colours.
Thanks for your work. The worst part of the gear dog and pony show is that the "hottest" gear gets the most views, and the more reviewers who simultaneous post their opinions the "hotter" the gear appears. If you post reviews of great unknown stuff, the algorithm suffocates it. So you've set yourself a challenge... I'll be along for the ride.
Mattias Burling is one of the best reviewers of obscure gear. He picks old cameras, often available for great prices, like the Sigma DP1, Ricoh GR, etc.
Whatever direction you go in, it will be worth watching. But what does the 'C' word really mean? Somebody should formulate the rules so that we can break them creatively!
I respect what you are doing. Get the focus away from a gear selling platform….. but I do also like you talking about equipment, so try and squeeze some in.
I watch your content because I like your presentation and that you dont dumb stuff down. Now with that said, I dont understand 30% of what you are talking about. lol. I used to travel with a Nikon dslr (dx) but as you said "does any one make a bad camera anymore" meaning that I am probably the limiting factor. So now I travel with a canon gx5 II and find that I take it more places and with the larger sensor I get better snap shots. Paired with a R79 (+/- 4.3$) very light tripod goes into my backpack making up one half of my crucial kit, the other being my Jetboil and stove top espresso maker :) accompanying me on every hike and scramble. Thanks for the content. Cheers - Cape Town.

Welcome back - good to see you again. "agenda free" is the new "cinematic". And I love it, thanks for sharing 👍
Glad you’re back and love the new direction! That’s why I’ve liked your material.
Thanks Steve.
The seagull’s timing was perfect!

Great to see you back and I'm glad you are well, Paul. You have been greatly missed! Look forward to the direction of the new content.
Already loved the first shot! Awesome video! I think you made the right decision :)
Thank you!
Welcome back Paul! Appreciate your genuine approach and always enjoy your videos. I look forward to your future content!

You reshot the opening to match the sunlight in the on camera close up.
