    I love the fact that everyone has their own unique style and cinematography.

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před rokem +7

      Yes, and so perfectly mirrors the personalities. Cheers!!

    You really are raising the bar for the genre. And while I'm 1% jealous I'm 99% loving it. That glass in the right hands is a treat to look at but it's a lot more than the lenses...this is a skillfully crafted perspective on a multi-creator whitewater trip which I would argue is the toughest kind to film. Well done man

    Ahh yes. That trip where Xander flipped his canoe and swam down the rapids, but was also happy when big brother failed later on lol. I literally laughed out loud when you accepted your fate and let the waters take you gently. 🤣

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před rokem +3

      Hi, Amy! Yeah I thought the same thing when I saw that show - like I had accepted my fate haha. Thanks a lot for watching! :)

      Thanks, Evan! Very happy to hear you say it felt immersive - that's the vibe I'm going for. Cheers and thanks again!

      It’s already been said but I will say it again, the cinematography is impressive. The work on camera placement and editing was perfect. Accomplishing all that in addition to hiking through the forest with gear and then navigating the rapids shows your determination to produce quality content. Plus you got to share the experience with some buds, a cute pup and even Xander. ;)
      Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

    Maxim, this is the best video you have ever made and you have made some great ones.
    If you keep moving along this path you will be the single best storyteller of this genre.
    Beautiful. Truly beautiful.
    What a great document of this trip. Peace

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před rokem +1

      Thanks, Trippers! That too kind a compliment but it makes me happy! Took my time trying to smoothen the little details out on this one. Thanks for watching and have an excellent rest of your Sunday!

    Those falls at the 16 minute mark are absolutely stunning/breathtaking...I could probably spend 3 days standing on the edge of that river just staring at them.

    • @maximbudnick

  • @BogWraith1
    @BogWraith1 Před rokem +6

    Your eye for the camera & editing skills are a real gift to all of us. Mix that in with your drone footage & your perfectly matched music, it aurally conveys what the heart feels when this incredible vista is presented in your videos. Thanks again for taking us along Max. ❤ you & Xander always, as well as the Baird Bros & especially North!

    • @maximbudnick

      @maximbudnick  Před rokem +1

      Haha they're miles ahead of me in quite a few ways, so I'll take the compliment! Yes, the ducks were awesome - I love when you can see the beads of water rolling off their slick feathers. Cheers and thanks for watching!

    Maxim you outdone yourself. You really showed the vibe of being there with you all. For a moment it felt i was there also. Thanks.

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před rokem +1

      That's awesome! I love the feeling of being brought into the trip when watching a camping video, so it's strange and wonderful to have people tell me that my video is doing that for them. All the best, and thanks for that!

  • @brucedow3883
    @brucedow3883 Před rokem +3

    I like the way you mixed the chaotic rapids with the calm camp life, just the right blend. Got a good feel for the trip. The 4 of you seemed real comfortable. Maybe brewers black bird or are they so common in Ontario; no need for label. We have huge blended flocks in fall, winter. Thanks again for the efforts.

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před rokem

      Hey there, Bruce! I believe it was a grackle - not sure if that's the same as brewers blackbird or just closely related. Sometimes I have to skip the label due to the way it was filmed - in this case it was a little too unstable and bumpy, which makes text look very distracting. Thanks for the feedback. I felt good about how I captured the camp life and conversations on this trip - I've haven't really felt I did a great job at it before so I'm happy for some improvement. Thanks again for watching and for the thoughtful feedback. Have a great Sunday!

    • @brucedow3883
      @brucedow3883 Před rokem

      I agree, grackle. Surprisingly brewers aren’t common in Ontario or Quebec. Seems like they would fit in the ecosystem then fly south when the snows come.

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před rokem

      Thanks, Richard. The talking/camp moments aren't something that comes easily to me - both with filming and editing, so I was pleased with how it came out on this video. Thanks a lot for the feedback - it's much appreciated. Cheers!

    Yahooo Maxim and friends.Those rapids...eish...gave us an adrenaline rush. It was kinda scary 😨 but you guys had a ball. The woofs look happy you arrived back to feed them 😅. Your adventures in Mother Natures domain are so cool. It feels like we're there sharing it and keep Nature and the wild alive for us that have flipped politics and would rather watch your videos. From a sunny and yet Wintery cold, sardine hectic run, and permanently electricity loadshedding South Africa we say cheers 🍻 and enjoy 😉.

    Fantastic viewpoint of this trip. Really beautiful nature footage.
    You definitely had the best line on several of those rapids.
    When Jim Baird washes the inside of his canoe, you know it’s no game. Xander won for best yard sale 😆
    Watching you get out of your dry suit reminded me of watching old films (early 1900’s) of Harry Houdini getting out of a straight jacket 🤣

    • @maximbudnick
      @maximbudnick  Před rokem +1

      Hey Alan! Haha I really got a laugh out of your Houdini comment. And yeah, Xander's yard sale was spectacular - we all flip here and there, but he happened to do it at the start of a 1km stretch of rapids haha. Thanks for watching and nice to hear from you!

      Hey there! Thanks a lot for the kind comment - though I have to give all drone credit to Xander who is not only a good drone pilot, but was kind enough to let me use his shots. North was just the nicest dog you could ask for on a trip!

    Wow, Max. Once again, your eye and your videography skills leave me floored. I follow a few bushcrafters, Xander included, and I signed up for the adventures of course. But with you it's as much about the way you tell the story as the story itself. Right from the intro, that beaver scene, it's on par with National Geographic, three seconds in I was already hooked. Then a canoe tips over in the rapids and I'm like, right, adventure. lol. Absolutely next level, Max. Already looking forward to the next one...

    Those rapids got my heart beating, I can't imagine the rush you got running them. I also think the bird @14:00 is a Northern Blue Jay and @26:19 is a Brewer's Black Bird. Thanks for another great video. 🙂

    • @maximbudnick

      I'm thinking it's a grackle (rather than a brewers blackbird) though I could be wrong.
