Thanks for the video! How long did it take to shoot the interview & how long were you intending the interview to be?
6:17 kind of always wanted an A-Minima, but sounds like the 200ft magazine makes it a bit awkward to load. Glad to see some are still being used these days though.
What about the audio set up? We’re they all lav’ed up?
Great video and production, well done!
Link to the music video?
Great job!
Very helpful
More backstage footages would be more pleasing to watch
Great short ;) How did you manage the rolling shots ? Blackarm / Ronin 2 or something lighter ? Lovely film great job !
Great work! What audio gear did you use?
Thanks for checking it out! I mainly used a dji wireless mic
Dayumm its so cool ngl
This is actually sick 😮🤯👌
One of the best visual representation of the amazing Japan, Love it!!
Thank you very much!
I was in Japan in September for a month last year and also documented my trip - can't wait to go back. Great video.
Looks absolutely fucking sick bro
thanks dude!
CL that was a dope quick cinematography lesson🎉🤝🏾💙🎙♠️👈🏾🇿🇦Ima look at ya videos when I shoot my 2nd music video on my bday / April 20
Why not use an Arri with 400ft mags? Longer takes and a more straightforward camera.
Nice work man, really digging your aesthetic
I find these videos so funny. Having working for more than 30 years with the BBC Film Unit. We were more than happy to ditch working with film,
Thanks for the tips. Ive only shot super8, so havent had the experience with 250D, but shot all others available. But I do have a startup budget 16mm camera and some film, including doubleX and some expired to text before shooting something, so you experience really encourages me
Rapha the walmart brand ..
Whats with a options? Why it's so much noises?I have 44-2 on my much older Canon 5D Mark II is no noises at all, in BMPCC6k it must looks even in 5 times better
wow super cool one
thanks you for checking it out!
Great video.
This was a sick breakdown! Thx for sharing!!!
You bet! Hope it was helpful!
saw every rapha edit - this fits perfectly. sub'ed!

Last year, my friends and I stumbled upon this amazing video that lit a fire in us. It inspired us to create our own music video using just an iPhone. We were a bit unsure at first, but the result was mind-blowing. It goes to show, when you stop seeing limits, you start seeing opportunities, and the magic happens. This was our first iPhone video, and it reached more people than any of our previous work. It's truly incredible, and I had to come back to say thank you. Many can't believe it was made with an iPhone! it's just crazy. I'll drop the link here for those who want to see the video and maybe show support: czcams.com/video/veqL9lOLH60/video.html
AR15? Scary stuff, but nice video dude. Helped a ton
This is really helpful, thanks!
glad it was! thanks for checking it out! what aspect of it was the most helpful?
Damn this video is super underrated. Amazing job bro!
Cool colours, performance, walk through, and coordination. Great DP and Grip. Thanks for the breakdown.
Super kind of you to say 🙏🏼🙏🏼took a village to make it happen!
Great breakdown and insight in how you made the shoot happen! Looks amazing too - love the hightened/stylized reality look
Thanks Jay! Very kind of you to say. Yea the colors we chose for the fixtures ended up really working in our favor
pretty nice LUTs. thanks
Thanks for watching!
This is dope
Thank you!!

you're too kind 🙏🏼 thank you for watching
Nice shots
thank you! i appreciate it
Really nice Video! If you ever come to Germany hook me up :)
I've always wanted to visit! thanks for watching
Very nice! I am in the SF Bay Area and the houses here are so expensive - even 60 miles out. But, I have to say that this sounds like a worthy goal for me. Thanks man!
I hear you Marcos! geographic location is a big factor to affordability. I got lucky in Nashville because of the boom that's slowly happening here. I can't imagine trying to buy in LA or just Bay area right now
Can you give a rough idea of how much a 1 minute ad cost to Film (record) excluding actors
Your lighting approach and camera movements added so much to the overall look and feel of the video. Great look into the process 👏
Thanks so much! It’s definitely a combination of lighting, movement, and a collaborative crew to pull it off
Great breakdown. It’s always great to see how other DP’s think it through.
Yes I definitely agree! I love learning from other creatives and getting a sneak peak into their world
