Video

Hey dude,just found your channel,love it.Just got an xpro2 and like you I hate editing…..just out of interest did you use a lens filter of any sort?Thanks man.✌️

Hello! Could you tell me which memory card to use in this camera? I can't find any compatible ones.

Ever wonder what Cinestill 800T would say if it were a person instead of a film stock? Well wonder no more! If you like having fun and have 51 seconds to share, go check out my latest youtube short "If Film Were People Episode 2" Thanks for sharing brother! Subbed!!

Bonjour.. Great video.. Thanks for sharing... You've mentioned leica b&w recipe being great for portrait... Which color one would you recommend for portrait.. Merci

Thanks for sharing your recipes with us. My shooting style is very similar to yours. I prefer to shoot jpeg and do not care for a lot of post processing. Of my seven custom recipes, two are black & white. One of the two B&W is infrared. I will study your two B&W recipes to see what I can use.

Its more like advertising useless x100 line, you can shoot Jpegs with all Fuji cameras using same recipea

Just got the X100VI. At first I was disappointed. I typically shoot Sony and the Fuju was just not as responsive, fast or precise. But the more I explore these recipes I have a whole new approach and appreciation of Fuji. I set up the X100VI with a few of your recommended recipes and am excited to explore them. Sub.

Spot on! I have owned the x100s, x100t and x100f (yeah, GAS). Sold them all. Mainly because I also have an x-t3 with a 23mm lens, and just couldn't justify having one more camera - and never could decide which to bring. It is stressfull enough when I want to bring a camera to whatever, and can't decide on which lens (or lenses 😵) to bring for my x-t3. Photography should be fun! Fast forward and I finally got time (two grown up kids) to look through all my images (more than 1Tb) and I constantly got dragged towards images with a certain look (character), and lo and behold, they were all taken with my x100 cameras throughout the years. So I started looking on the used market and found a well kept x100s, bought it, and I absolutely LOVE it. Suddenly it is fun to take photos again. And yeah, it occasionally gives me false AF confirmation, and is not the fastest camera in the world (I have high performance on), but overall I am super happy having my "old buddy" back, and the images it produces still looks stellar. Actually I prefer the s over the t and f, as the first thing I noticed when I upgraded to the t and had both cameras in hand, was the noisy AF of the later models. I guess it's because the AF is more aggressive (faster) on the newer models, but it kind of goes against the quiet leaf shutter, when the AF noise is what brings the attention to you.

I've had this camera for about five years. It's the only digital camera I've ever owned but I agree with everything said. Still after 5 years a third of what I shoot is unusable (too light, too dark, too shaky, badly focussed), but the 2/3 that remains looks great. I grade it with Cineprint 16 and it gives you the best impression of 16mm you could get without actually shooting in 16mm. I cannot tell the difference, if you'd told me the footage in your video was shot on a 16mm I would have believed you.

Lately, I really like the way the image turns out, if you process the video from the camera through the Filmbox plugin, it turns out as if you are shooting on a real 16 mm film) I plan to conduct several experiments on my channel.

It's been 8 months since I posted this and I've only used Dehancer twice. One on a work project and the other to test a diffusion look on some personal footage. That should sum up how I feel about it.

Do you guys keep your Fuji at the Auto mode (Aperture priority) Whenever I am not on this mode my recipes are just trash

Brilliant video bud, inspires me to get shooting with my x100s arriving next week

Is that the BUF logo on your shirt?

Drop your wedding photography tips below!

will these work similarly on the x100vi?

What is one piece of filmmaking advice you'd give to everyone?

Awesome video, thanks for sharing your favorites. I've tried so many film recipes/simulations and somehow I keep going back to Kodachrome 64 for just about everything I shoot.

Great video - I'm subscriber 991!

I shoot with the X100T....one hell of a camera !!!! just amazing !!! It doesn't have many of the color simulations that yours has (X100V?)...anyway, I really like Classic Chrome for street and Astia for people...also like the others.....what I love about this little gem, is not only the color simulations but.......the built in flash......I don't know if you have noticed that this little camera's built in flash, always...and I mean always....delivers just the right amount of light (fill flash)....I have tried this with my DSLR's and after a few tweaks I can get the same results (fill flash wise) but, many times, while shooting out there, you have no time for adjustments...it's all shoot and go for me. Thanks for the video, found it very useful !!!! (Subscribed).

you can name the Sims in camera

this is gold, keep up bro

The world needs more people like you

Ricoh custom settings can be named and since they're "custom defaults" instead of simulations, they can come with their own min/max ISO settings. Finding a Ricoh simulation community has been great fun

I enjoyed this, thank you! I like your black and white format, it's different :)

Love this shit. But on my X-T1 I simply shoot straight Monochrome with highlights and shadows both pushed all the way up. That’s what I consider perfect Black & White.

Awesome video love the simulations you showed off. I'm going to give them a try for sure.

What's your number one editing tip?

20 years??????? you mean 10 years!!!

Im not personally a fan of country music. (I actually kinda hate it lol.) But this era for country is pretty good.

Cool Man! Thanks for Share! :)

What are your goals for 2024?

Colin, this was a lot of fun. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. They were helpful and I kinda feel the way you do. I'd love to have Dehancer, but honestly I wouldn't use it that often. and I kind of like tweaking my own looks. The subscription plan is for me outrageously additive. If I could get it free with a use meter of say 10 times a year, I'd definitely get it.

Hey Colin! Love the video. Just curious to ask, when you say ISO, is that the ISO you are ALWAYS shooting at for each film recipe?

A question about the stated ISO for each filter. Is this a target ISO that I should not change or it is just the baseline that I should not go lower?

Great feeling, simple, but solid straight to the point advice. You should definitely do more of these kinds of videos, keep it up!

Trying to find the right camera for a podcast room. We rent the room by the hour and are typically shooting 2 to 3 Guest at a time. I heard the black magic was great because it worked with so many of the pieces of equipment that we use. Getting ready to work with it this week. What’s your favourite glass for the BM?

could you link the music , curious where you find good tunes

Grat job! 🙂The "OG" is still beast! 🔥

@colin! Quick question: What are the film sims that you used on the first 4 photos in the recap part? (esp the 2 after 3:50).... BEAUTIFUL colours on them ....THANKS a ton in advance! Also, as for me - Kodachrome 64 sims from Ritchie are a godsend .... also, Pro Neg Std is SUCH an underrated simulation.

What lut you used for your BW video? Looks great

I bought Dehancer Lite and since I already owned Filmconvert I added their halation effect.

Was just going to ask if you had that "line" down the middle with some of your "bokeh" since its been moded..I have scene it with some other videos...but you answered the question already..lol I guess you can't escape that "fishing line" down the middle since..thats the only way they have figured to get that "effect"..lol I have had mine for a while and enjoy it a lot..the only "mod" I asked them to do is to put a larger rubber like focus ring around the original focus ring..so it will be easier to focus..and kinda future proof myself incase I ever want to use a follow focus adapter for video..it will be easier to grab the larger focus ring..

Brilliant video, thank you. Like you I feel they have an amazing product but think with some further development they can make this a mainstream tool for Newbs, like me, to experts like you. I have spent months trying to understand what works with what and I feel that grouping and presents would help. Example, is it positive or negative grain with x, how best to use if you want to stay in a HDR workflow and so on. I paid for it and and now, after 7 months plus, beginning to get somewhere.

Is it good for stills or it’s particularly for cinematic videos? Thanks

I have one unmodded one. And I have a love hate relationship with it. It's sooo annoying sometimes but some of the things it helps create is just pure magic haha. Does the anamorphic mod increase the field of view at all?

What other lenses are you pairing with it? Because it's such a distinct look (Anamorfake or not) that it's hard to find other glass that will give continuity in any shoot. Or are you literally shooting your entire deliverable(s) with one type of glass?

This lens is a beast. I own non-anamorphic one yet it is still a tool I enjoy creating with. Great photos and great video capabilities. And it is so cheap everyone can afford it. I got mine in perfect condition. Great footage. Cool content. What I can see nowadays people start understanding digital image is becoming less natural and pleasing. I own top photo lenses but none of em is as good as Helios. Keep going with more interesting content. Cheers!

Have you used a Helios? Do you want one? What about the anamorphic mod?

I really love those cameras for lower resolution work, but they are no longer supported, at least from what I understand. My first one pretty much fell apart, mechanically, and my second one quit working as well, with an electronic problem relating to the camera talking to the lens; it was over-heating too... It's a shame. The main issue I had was that the display is so small and has such low resolution. Other than that, the Cinema DNG 10 bit capability just rocks! For a higher resolution camera, the Ursa mini pro G2 is pretty great, and the newer Ursa with Gen 5 color... The Ursa, at least to my eye, has the best color and all around picture quality short of getting into something like a Red. As much as I like the various Japanese cameras, at least for me, the color response just doesn't look as natural as the Blackmagic cameras or the Red.
