how's he do that goddamn
Tiffen filter 1/4/maybe
Im here just to see Willem stress with " Golden Hour Anxiety " 😁
Can't stretch this enough : this "Rollnote" series is gold. I don't know whether or not the people watch it as much as gear reviews, but the quality is so much higher. Thanks for making these videos Willem and hope you keep this series alive!
I agree, it's so excellent!
Awesome for me as I used to live in LA (now in Berlin) and I never did as much as I had wanted to photography wise. We used to bike and swim there often and this video brought back fond warm (& hot) memories of time gone by. Thanks for putting your lens out there…
Ngl some shots felt that they where captured str8 out of a dream, I have seen Willem's work but these were something else(especially the shots at the pier).
great photographs as always Willem!
Hi Isaiah!
nice
Nice
We gotta get u a carhartt sponsorship‼️
trueee
Production quality of these videos has gone up a bunch
I’m a simple man… I see a new Willem video and I click it as fast as possible!! :)
The color grading on this video is so damn good and matches the film stock perfectly
Willem moved to the next stage of the film-wallet suffering: the motion picture.
friend: willem, let's go take some photos at-
willem: p o w e r p l a n t
The Medium is the Message...the visual grammar is getting serious here Willem!
That glorious 16mm was “la petite touche finale” bravo!
I read that book.
« Cerise sur le gâteau »
I don't know why but the footage of the 16mm film just made me cry. It reminded me of a childhood memory. Thanks for that Willem!
Yep haha. When the sunset and the silhouetted trees came up 😢. So beautiful!!
Sometimes I think "how is this dude taking pictures and every frame of the roll looks so good?". All of your creative work is so inspiring and I think your are an idol for me. Thanks for the great content.
Nothing makes me want to go out and take pictures more than seeing Willems videos.
You should check out Redondo pier. It’s like 10 minutes south of Manhattan beach.
7:00 damn, dude. Beautiful composition... and at 7:16 your videographer stole the perfect angle! :D
Only a few places in the world has light like this. Beautiful.
The other is far away. The south of France.
I got "bo-tanical garden" vibes when you kept saying "power plant". Awesome pictures my friend
i feel like you live in another world, the weather is alway excelent in your videos
The video footage was absolutely beautiful, I could almost cry 🥺
I live right near there and it's great to see a new perspective on a place I've been shooing/visiting my whole life. I was literally just down there yesterday thinking about how I need to take my camera down there again hahaha. If you decide to go shoot in that area again you should go walk El Segundo main st, some of the planes look massive coming out of LAX and it's a pretty cool place to take some odd perspective shots and the food there is pretty great haha
I pretty much grew up in El Segundo and seeing him visit here and taking photos that I have also similarly taken was crazy. I agree with you, its awesome to see a different perspective here. There is also some interesting composition within El Segundo's "industrial" part which is closest to the refinery. You should definitely check that out as well @willem
The ship in the distance of the frame you mentioned - made me smile because I just thought the same and then you mentioned it. Often it is the fine details (not talking resolution) that make the shot. As always very inspiring. Oh and that video clip... magic. It just gives a totally different vibe and creates emotions otherwise not possible. At least for me.
The view in 0:40 is the same as the first shot in P.T.A's "Inherent Vice"
It is literally the same building as inherent vice czcams.com/video/1PUjFFPIrAI/video.html
Yep. Same street the 2nd yellow building the background. He is just further up the street.
Absolutely loved this video! I’m dying over these colors in the shots, and the added geometry from the shadows makes for some really wonderful compositions. You're crushing it!
Did anyone notice Willem was wearing his headphones the wrong way round during the sponsor bit? 😆 I love this guy
Beautiful, loved the spontaneous shots and how you tried to catch them!
I don't understand why some photographers doesn't like Ektar. They seem to hate Ektar's colors but actually as you can see in this video: Ektar is amazing!
Ektar makes skin tones look weird. A lot of people don't like it because they can't take portraits.
@@julianaframe4200 I don't know. I saw a lot of excellents portraits. Maybe it's the same people who said the same about 400H but I did some portraits with that film and they turned amazing
Production quality is up 100x! Congrats Willem!
Great work again. I love your compositions and subject selections. The punchy colors were invigorating and the pastels set a relaxing mood, Ektar did a good job there.
The Super 16 shot of the waves looking toward the beach reminded me of the ocean blues I got on some Ektachrome shots a few decades ago. So vivid and pleasing I still remember them.
The videos you took, were absolutely breathtaking. Seriously brought me to a different place, and somehow were so powerful to me and felt so nostalgic and meaningful. I think it’s beautiful what moments you capture and you find are valuable to you. It is truly a gift to find that out of every location. Thank you so much for sharing, seriously a blessing to see your work in action🙏🏻 much love!!
I grew up in the beach cities, would love to see you shoot more of them (Redondo, Hermosa, Torrance, Palos Verdes)
Can we get a behind the scenes of your vlogs? The camera man talking about his equipment and the process of colorgrading..
Watching with while scanning, couldn’t be a better day
Great stuff! I love the warm colors in your photos
These photos are amazing! I love the variety of textures there is inside most of the shots
The production quality on these vids is insane! Beautiful work as always
Well done my man.
Loved the film segment towards the end.
I noticed the Holiday magazine next to the turntable. Haven’t seen an issue in a couple of generations.
Thanks
So stylish to walk so casually with the camera hanging down in one hand and the neck strap dragging on the sidewalk. Smooth!
The music for the super 16mm footage was perfect :')
I think it’s disrespectful how amazing your photos are bro, Jesus Christ. The colors are insane.
That 16mm clip literally made it seem like everything’s going to be alright in our world.
You guys snapped with this video
That photo with the cooler at 6:46 -- so good. People hate on Ektar but when it works, man, it *works*.
Amazing film!!!! Can’t wait to see what else you film!
Film on film (probably not the right verbiage) was absolutely beautiful, it didn't give me goosebumps, it didn't take my breath away, it just made me freeze in time and just bask. Truly amazing.
So amazing to watch you make these bangers. People say California light hits different, that’s so true but also your skill set is great.
thank you willy, your video really bring me to an era that i've never been before.
The tone of your work is just so nostalgic
whoah! This Bolex footage is awesome! Looking forward to see more of this too!
dude the super 16 montage made me feel like i was inside a story
Did you manage to get all your gear back that was stolen Willem? Looking forward to watching this one.
The quality of your video's editing and colouring has improved a lot lately! Cheers kid!
The vibes are everything and more when Willem’s taking photos 📸📸📸
some really great photos in here man, gotta love that west coast sunlight, the color in these is amazing
Willem just casually shooting BANGER
You’re so good Willem!! Such an inspiration
for me this is one of your most beautiful videos. the super 16 footage made the time go backwards for a secound. you always inspire me with your work :) thank you willem for creating these wonderful pieces of art.
This series is the best work on the channel you've done to date - soooo good
As soon as the first photo popped up, I was like "damn this is gonna be a good one" haha. Amazing work bro! Colors, light and comp in all of these were so dreamy. 🔥🔥
THIS is the content I need. Every one of these videos is what I love. Simple photo walks.
Best one yet. Great series, man.
Manhattan Beach was the first beach I went to when I was in LA in the summer of 2012! Memories!!! Lovely photos as always Willem x the Bolex footage is icing on the cake too!
the color grade in this video looks so nice! by far fav series on youtube!
How is it possible for this video to be as beautiful as the photos? Great work. The first photo reminded me of the opening shot of Inherent Vice. 👌
FIRE! I can't believe how easy you make this look!
I really liked the shot of the waves on the 16mm film 😳
Does anybody else get nervous when Willem aggressively advances the lever?
I was more like, this guy knows what he's doing.
And the way he carries that camera in his hand not using the strap.
@@carbonejack I thought I was the only one!
Those photos make me remind , awesome!
loving this series
I really love this work. The photographs, videography & music.
0:51 image is gorgeous. I keep coming back to the video and just pausing it on my second monitor. The toe of the red car, the umbrella/seating, the stop sign, street names, greenery, power lines, recycling bin, and leading lines to the beach/water in the distance absolutely wows me. Even the roadwork patching leads the eye down to the water. This one's begging to be printed.
Love your work man!
I just love your vision!! 🎞🙌🏻
Really enjoying your channel. This episode is a favorite! You have an amazing eye for composition. Most people would walk right by, but you see the magic💪 Thanks for sharing.
The look on your video footage. that was also sooo pleasing. just wow
The quality of these new videos are soooo good and 16mm film shots are amazing.
Feel both relaxed and emotional after watching that, lovely stuff.
This video had me like, 'Oooooo okay' then he had to whip out the super 16! Banger of a video Will!
The tests you did with the Super 16 Bolex were beautiful!
my man, i live in mb, love this vid. gotta head down early morning get sunrise with surfers it’s great !
He seems so happy. I have a canon rebel t6i and although it’s been a while, I used to walk around my hometown and the surrounding cities and take pictures. It’s so relaxing and fun to capture the moment as well as perfect your craft 😌
this was such a dope episode!
Always enjoy your videos Willem. So relaxing.
Amazing work! So inspirational
These colors and the mood of your video 😍! Manhattan’s beaches look amazing, and for a European, it makes you want to travel to the United States and take pictures 📸
such a pleasure to watch your videos!
this video made me think about "The life aquatic" and " The grand budapest hotel" movies, the aesthetic looks like that
the super 16 is so stunning
Beautiful photos Willem!!!! Loved it! Regards.
Thanks for such a nice episode!
4:42 that's such a nice composition!
Love it!
Awesome job Willem, wonderful video.
oh my god, that 16mm footage was amazing. i was in awe and literally felt like i could cry 🥺
I live close to the power plant, ride my bike by it all the time. Glad you came by there!
These shots were absolutely fire dude! As always, awesome work ✊
Very nice, love the bolex video !
