    I think you should start a series called "Quick Take:" or something similar. That way you feel free to make the quicker videos different, and the viewers know when they click on a video without that title, they're still going to get the extreme detail 100% of the time. Both preserves the brand and gives you freedom.

    I really appreciate how fast he get down to business. 5-second hook, 4-second theme song, 4 second non-sequitur, and then straight onto the topic. Just long enough to get my attention and to adjust my thinking mode for Gerald Undone absorption. He does not waste my time. It's respect for the audience.

    Mate, you're probably the best CZcamsr here right now for Sony E mount camera and lens reviews.
    No fluff, no click-baiting bull crap and honest, solid reviews with great comparisons and great examples of the strengths and weaknesses of each lens you come across.
    You're the first and also the last person I go to when I want to know about something.
    Whatever your choices wrt your vids, I'll be here for them. :) :)

    I really enjoy these overview type videos as they alert me to things I may not have considered or know about yet. Also sometimes the longer videos just go over my head at my skill level and knowledge base - less can be more sometimes but really it's your overall communication style that works for me.

    I personally love to hear your thoughts regardless of if you have time to a "full review" or not! Even in these shorter(lol at a 15min video being short) videos you offer a great perspective on things! Maybe to help people understand which type of video you are able to do, you could implement a system similar to MKBHD and do a something similar to his "first impressions" videos, which are somewhat understood by the public to be less of a deep dive than his "full review" videos. Just some thoughts! LOVE your content! Can't overstate how much you've taught me!

      @nafnaf0 Před 2 lety +1

      It really needs a side by side comparison to 40mm. I am not convinced the 35mm F1.8 is sharper by any means. He might be coming at from using it more as a video lens than a photo lens. Sure the F1.8 is faster, but it is not very sharp for its first two stops

    I absolutely love this format. I think that your random thoughts about the equipment are way more useful to an average consumer of such lenses than the very scientific comparisons. I think it’d work out great if you had your precise scripted etc comparisons for pro cinema gear that requires that level of detail and you could make those quick rant videos about consumer/prosumer gear. I love your videos, your style etc and I’d love to see you review things like budget APS-C gear for example.

    I have a lot more respect for reviewers and your reviews in particular after watching MKBHDs iPhone hour long review. I understand the pressure of feeling the need to release a video at the lift of the embargo. I think this video and these style of videos have more than enough information and I’d love to see more similar videos in the future! However, I don’t want the pressure from these videos affect the depth of a classic Undone video.

    There is something very fun and charming about the off-the-cuff style video that we see in the livestreams as well. A lot of good info is given but it feels more like a conversational highlight reel than a presentation with all of the fine details. Both styles are great but this was a nice complement to the traditional Undone video style. Will continue to watch whatever style video you put out, keep up the good work!

    I really like this style of video for you! Feels much more conversational and entertaining. You seem much more energetic! Definitely ditch the script more often! :)
