- In today's video @megantanart challenged me to shoot a whole day with just a digicam, while she shot one day with my Pentax K1000. It was really interesting to see whether a digicam could be an alternative to film photography.

Hellooo, I hope you enjoyed this pretty different video! :D You can see Megan's results with my film camera in her video. The digicam was a fun change. While I personally do not see myself switching, I do think that a digicam can be a cheap and accessible way to dip your toes into photography, if you haven't done so yet :)

Loved spending this cool adventure with ya !!! Till next time
You two made for a great video and should do some more!
You Guys should date each other 😂.. Can see the chemistry between you two guys already
@@spencerxox350 HAHAHAHAH no
@@spencerxox350I think he have a girlfriend named Nelly
@@spencerxox350No they have their own lives. It’s weird to say that
this is like the top 10 best anime crossovers of all time but photography
BAHAHAHAHHAH true
I dare you to try take 28 photos with the sky showing and people in the picture@@megantanart
Teo AND Megan in one video? What a treat. What. a. treat.
my god it’s the better with an egg guy
HAHHAHHAH
seeing u out 'in the wild' compared to talking in ur studio / room is a completely different vibe
It was fun, I must say :D
Both of your videos are "toutes douces" as we say in French. Congrats for trying, creating, daring and going on unexpected adventures. You both are a pleasure to follow on the Internet and you are gems for CZcams.
Agreed with the "toutes douces" vibes ahah
really didn't expect this collab
I love using my Digicam bc i feel like I'm 8 years old again just taking pics and not thinking about all the rules and stuff, just having fun with that type of camera
more japanese-related skits please, they were hilarious
agreed!! i lol'd many times 😄
“avoid the weaknesses and focus on the strengths” hundred percent true! it applies in creativity when we thought we couldn’t create something beautiful because we tend to focus on the weaknesses of equipment we use (like camera) even on ourselves- so yes find the strengths more and see what it could give out to us at the end, and just don’t forget to enjoy the over all process❤
Oh that was an amazing video. Loving the vibes of you two, not only as photographers but also as human beings. Lots of love
thanks for including all the before/after versions of your digicam shots! I just got one of these little cameras myself, and it really helps to get inspired with my own edits :)
This was a joy to watch. I particularly enjoy the part you mentioned about creating with another solo creator as teamwork. Agreed. It’s the best feeling to connect with fellow creators.
I really love the artistic focus of your channel. Its genuinely inspiring. Makes me want to try new things every time.
Am I watching a kdrama?
The colors are so beautiful.
What a Treat 💛....Loved your Storytelling, Editing, Color Grading, Sound Designing and your skits...in short I loved Every Part of this Video...
such a nice collab! i stumbled upon both your channels quite recently and at around the same time and love both your videos. great to see you working together. especially since we don't seem to have many people making cinematic videos like your guys' around here in austria 😊
it was such a fun and relaxing video to watch ☺️
Every time I watch a Teo video I think the next one can't possibly get even better, but still it does. amazing :D
I love Megan ! 🥰I am so happy to see the both of you working together. The street photos were really good ! I love this concept 😊
thank youuuuu
great video & awesome collab!
i love using digicams for these kinds of experiments/challenges here’s a tip that i’ve found along the way; if you wanna level-up your digicam flash photography u can try to use an external camera flash, one of those that you’d usually mount on your hot-shoe but it has to be one with a built-in photocell in order to sync it up.
you can get some exaggerated shadows by holding the flash really far apart as long as the photocell can see the tiny digicam flash or hold it in unconventional positions. you can also use it for more regular photos but with much more of the scene visible due to the power increase.
just be aware that these photos will likely have a tendency towards overexposure especially in the foreground due to the camera not being able to factor-in the excessive flash power
Very cool video with a good mood and nice vibes! Nice collaboration video with Megan 🙏🏼🌿
Really fun video Teo, looks like you guys had a laugh creating it too. Great stuff, enjoyed this ✌
wow! love you both separately and never expected this collab :) but iloved it!!
waaah how cool!! Watching Megan's videos for a long time too, such a cool collab! :D
You really upped your production quality for this one!
Big fan of you two... Nice seeing you do things together...
The K1000 is a very satisfying machine indeed... I learned how to shoot on a K1000, back in 1999, when I was in College... I'm looking for one to buy...
Brilliant video! Really love the interaction and how much fun everyone is having. I been using older cameras for years, they bring something into every photo. Depends on the camera and the sensor. I find the Kodak ccd sensors produce in the early to mid 2000s some of the most filmic looks with bold saturation. Thanks for sharing!
Aww sweet, glad you enjoyed it! :)) Ohh wow, Kodak ccd sensors sound intriguing :o
Full inspirations in this video were, thank Teo and Megan
watching ur videos back to back
Awesome stuff guys!
Great video, always good to limit yourself sometimes for more of a challenge.
I enjoy using older cameras 📷 and trying to create impressive images with them.😊
Love this content n collaboration with her.
Just got a Fujifilm xt1 to chase the film style and your works are really inspiring to what I’m goin for 🤙
I just have to say this is incredible work, especially at location 3. Every short video clip and photo had such thoughtful composition and lighting. Honestly makes me want to get out and shoot some photos. Keep it up!
Aww so happy to read this, thank you!
Love this style of video it was great! I personally love a digicam, they are just fun to shoot with ha!
omg two of my faves!
one of the collabs of all time
Atmospheric, very special. Enjoyed it. Please, more collabs! :]
The collaboration of the year!
There's something about this video that feels relaxing
This collaboration is soo wholesome ^^
Super Video !
Macht Laune auf den Sommer :D
+++++ Gut Gesungen :D
the skits in the suit were amazing lol. More of these in the coming videos pls xD
Yoooooo the pentax first shot took her breath away.. Sheeeeeeeesh!!!
I am totally a fan of yours!!
this is my favorite channel!
wtfreak video quality and editing context🔥love from nepal
I was planning on getting a digicam, the canon sd1000 to be precise because I heard rumours that it was supposed to be really good but I delayed the purchase too much and then the whole digicam craze started and the price went up from like £25 - £50 all the way up to £300 in some places online. Some other good digicams increased in price as well and it kinda put me off for a bit but now the prices have seemed to be decreasing and levelling out a bit (still more than they were being roughly around £100) so i might try purchasing one because my god do the images really have a beautiful feel to them, similar to film but without the hassle of developing.
Awesome video! Loved the vibes ☀
Aww glad you like it Thiên!
All the shots here are so good!! My favorite has got to be that one in 14:36
This is so good
yaaaaay more female creative creators
das inspiriert mich sehr, danke ❤
This was so good
The crossover we needed 🤝🤝🤝
Such a warm video:) Also, what song plays near the end of it, during conclusion part?
Before we know it Teo's releasing a folk album
this is a sick collab
This looks like a dream :)
11:52 Apologize for your sorry right now , you have an amazing voice 😭🤍
THE BEST CROSSOSVER AH
1:37 I went oop when I saw Teo all dressed up in a suit. Very classy, lookin sharp!
I love the cinematography!!! wish to know the music thooo
How are you editing your audio I like how the mic sounds. The volume is even. Are you mainly doing compression?
Ps I love all your videos your dope
u guys are sooo cute!
I'm quite familiar with digicams, too, and I have a Nikon Coolpix A100. I always get weird looks when I shoot with it 😅
Teo I love that you keep an Olympus XA around your neck in case you need to whip out a quality shot at a moments notice! haha
Much love from Tennessee USA🙏🏼
Always! hahah :D In came in handy a couple times on that day :)
@@teocrawford I keep mine in my car at all times for similar reasons! Haha
This was really fun :)
Nice videoo! How do you record all your videos and maybe make a video on how you record and what gear you use for VIDEO in the future😄😊
Huh that's actually a neat idea - just wrote it down :D
Thank you! :)
I looove digicams they are so practical and fun
Hey loved the video absolutely beautiful please do a Lightroom tutorial for these images
Thnx
Maybe the next video could be a general guide/explanation of how you make your lightroom edits? those digicam shots really went from rubbish to art after your adjustments!
great to see your channel growing with great contents! keep it up Teo
Digicams are in my opinion another option just like how film is. However what I like about film more is waiting for your pictures to arrive whereas digital is the opposite of that. While digital might sorta have a resurgence, film seems to have more of a resurgence for a good reason, it’s mostly the experience of shooting film that draws people’s attention. This isn’t to say digicams aren’t great. They are cool but I don’t think they’d replace film as another medium
That's pretty much the conclusion I've come to as well. It was fun to try, but film stays my love (for ever maybe who knows lol)
wait isnt that the fountain from call me by your name? The whole video gives me vibes that remind me of that film now that i think about it..
Wonderful video(s) from both of you ... I have to admit that I watch your channel mostly because of your excellent video storytelling style and not for your photos ;-0
can you share how you color graded the digicam pics? :) love your content! love this collab!
Actually I'm going to make a tutorial for those edits on my Patreon in the coming weeks :D
I don't make tutorials on my channel, because it just doesn't fit in very well and so instead I've made my Patreon page a little hub of mine for educational content :)
How do you give the filters?
I love the suit get up! Haha
Wondering how, generally, you edit your photos. I loved how every pic was edited, and kinda loved the grainy look of the digicam!
Especially the shots for your “stop motion” I was surprised by how different the original shot was, and loved how the finished product looked
Aww thank you! It comes down to decreasing contrast to a pleasing level and pushing colours in a way that creates a noticable palette instead of a mess :)
If you're very interested and want to learn it, I actually have tutorials for photo editing on my Patreon :D And I'm planning on filming a tutorial for the edits I did with the Digicam next month :)
@@teocrawfordthank you so much! So just to be clear, the upcoming tutorial for these pics will be on your patreon? Or will it be on your channel. Either way thank you, new to photography and editing and I just love how these look
@@Eli.Josephh Yes, they'll be on Patreon only. I veeery rarely make tutorials on CZcams, because they just don't really fit in with the rest of my work here, so I've made Patreon like a little hub for sharing educational content. Once you sign up you get access to all videos I've ever posted there (12+) and I'm always producing one video per month for the Patreon. For this month of April I'm working on a video covering the calibration tab in Lightroom and then in May I'll post a breakdown of the edits I made for the digicam :)
@@teocrawford alright thank you a lot! Totally makes sense how the editing stuff wouldn’t fit the rest of your main channel. I’ll fs look into it but probably won’t purchase cuz I’m broke 😭. Just wondering, overall, in light room how do you change/push colors, are you just messing with color mixed and gradings? Thank you btw 🙏
Which country is this??
I love the entire Vibe, Scenary, People and really lovely to see this collab and Both of you having fun in the city!
I live in Austria, but in this video we drove down south to northern Italy (South Tyrol).
@@teocrawford Oml Teo, How are you? Ive been a big fan for a long time! Ive been following your videos for a while and tried buying the Film and Digicams... But unfortunately they aren't available in my Country (UAE)
@@teocrawford Oml Teo, How are you? Ive been watching and following your channel for a year or so and I love it! Ive tried going through and buying some Digicams and film cameras but unfortunately they aren't available in the country I live in... Ive been watching learning from your channel and really enjoy the lively videos
Keep it up and Have fun!
We need more of Professor Krohfurd
have you ever tried any of the kodak vision films? (with the coating thing not what cinestill does), i find it to be a relatively cheap film with some nice warm tones
Once yes, via Silbersalz. However I didn't get a hang of it and most didn't come out very nicely so I'm in need to another attempt :,)
anyone know what the song at the end is called?
whoa where did you guys go? looks beautiful
South Tyrol in Italy. We checked out the area around Bressanone and Bolzano :)
I think Teo just wanted to shoot his normal subject matter instead of the reflections in the beginning hahaha 😂…. I love the shot at 21:35
Good video
is that ur tokina sz-x 60-300mm f/4-5.6 lens or are u just happy to see me 📸
❤❤❤
the petax k1000 i saw it on the strange things
Hello everybody! I have a question regardening metering light. I understood how to use the app teo suggested in one of his video but I started to look into the sunny 16 rule. Why do they match the iso to the shutter speed?
I don't understand what you mean by matching the ISO?
@@teocrawford They say in the sunny 16 rule that: if you are using kodak kold 200 you set your iso to 200 and your shutter speed to 1/200 or the closest on your camera. And than chose the f stop based on the scale sunny 16.
@@teocrawford Now I get it. They set the shutter speed equal to the iso as a base line. Than based on the occasion if you need a higher o lower shutterspeed, per every stop you move you shutter speed , you move one stop opposite for you aperture.
Hi Teo, i’m so curious about how you select your songs for these videos. I’m from Mexico and every time an spanish song pops
up here I ask myself how an austrian boy discover these songs.
I source all my music from Epidemic Sound and on their platform I listen to all sorts of genres and languages. I really like the tempo and sound of some of these Spanish songs... due to a lack of language skills though I have no idea what the lyrics are about hahaha :,D
shot at 14:35 with the mirror and hills behind it goes CRAZY
I would love to see what you can achieve with a better quality digital camera
I‘m not sure if you’re new to the channel, but I have looots of videos covering my digital photography👀☺️🙌🏼
Song used at 16:33?
sumpah ya suaranya Teo nih sopan banget di kuping 🙂
professor Krohfurd must be a model instead of a professor tbh 🤫🧏🏻♂
hi teo
im pretty young (teen years, im not going to specify anything cuz of the internet), and i see photography as something really fun and intriguing. ive seen many videos of yours, and i took a few pictures using a film camera. i really want to see this as something that i want to stick with forever (maybe as a job) in the future. my parents keep telling me that being a photographer wont give me much money, but it seems so fun and im really hooked with it. what should i do? if you can tell me anything, id much appreciate it. thanks teo, youre the best, and i love your videos :)
Hi Aaron, thank you for the kind words, I'm happy to read that you enjoy my videos :))
Ahh I see. Well first of all I think as a young person it is ok to dismiss the parents' opinions to an extent, because they are too old to know what is like to be young in this time.
However in case this relaxes your parents: Photographers can make great money, it's just pretty tough and takes a lot of time and passion. And to be honest, I think it could even suck the fun out of photography for you and make it something that is purely for work and not for personal fulfilment (the danger of turning your hobby into your job).
Alternatively, if you enjoy creating digital media, you could try something else than photography and make that the professional skill and keep photography as an artistic outlet.
For your parents again, becoming a film maker and creating videos for clients can also be very lucrative. You could either do this as a freelancer or in a company.
For example when I was 19 I worked in the video production team of a marketing agency for a year which was fun and taught me a lot. Arguably that is also the easier route than doing freelance work.
Also the demand for video is as high as ever, so I do think there is money to be made in the industry.
Hope that gives you a couple thoughts to further explore :)
