Great video It's really great when a professional with your experience and credits does a video with equipment anyone can afford. So many people show what great shots or video they have taken with super expensive equipment and although nice it seems to be more about the equipment than the person behind the lens. Thank You for all of the great content you have created over the years and the places that you have let us enjoy through your eyes.
Lovely snaps on the Olympus super zoom, I've seen several for sale very cheap but always discounted them in favour of the mju models! I've since sold my mju zoom 105, everyone has their price I guess and I got offered a very good price for it. I must pick up a super zoom. One of my other new retro camera finds I picked up is a 1960s Olympus Pen EE half frame camera in mint condition, I paid just £15 for it. Looking forward to putting some film through it. 👍
@@BrianCWeed Quite a niche camera at a time when film and processing was quite expensive, so double the exposures on a film roll was very appealing. Obviously as film and processing costs became cheaper, they lost favour but I think now with those higher costs back currently they make perfect sense!. I believe there were many different, very quirky half frame cameras produced just for the Japanese Market around that era that are surfacing now on ebay very cheap etc.
Yeah, it's got a good shutter, not too loud, and the zoom motor isn't obnoxious either. I signed up for a Grainery account a while back, but seemed like a lot of work with putting in cameras, lenses, films, etc. What do you think, worth it? How's the community?
@@itriskymagic1450 I wasn't really "discovered" - I just worked my butt off on whatever I could and kept learning as much as I could. My first production job was through a friend that needed help on extremely low-budget educational videos for the Los Angeles School District. I just kept doing as good a job as I could and being a pleasant person to be around on set, and worked my way up the ladder.
Beautiful, Brian!! Love it!
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching

Lots of underrated and forgotten gems out there! thanks for watching

I haven’t shot any half frame cameras - waiting to find a good deal, but I doubt I’ll find one as good as yours!

I like the sound camera shoots with.
Do you have Grainery account?

⛔what did you do to get a television production job ?
I've been working in TV production for almost 15 years. I used to live in Los Angeles, and that's where I got my start
@@BrianCWeed and how were you discovered by tv?
