I loved your 'Racing Namibia' series! Seriously, it could be on Nextlix or National Geographic! It was cool to see/hear how you made the films. Thanks Jeff!
I would definitely go for a director’s cut edition!! I really enjoyed the series, however I think it would be really interesting for you to go back and enhance the events as you remember them.
Fascinating, Not my area of work so seeing the level of planning and attentions to detail is incredible. And, the series did double as a great race video and a travel video. Makes me want to go to Namibia.
racing, travelling and cinema direction. this is better than going to school. Thanks for this backstage and making of, im very fond of watching more of the know how for filming and interviewing!
Wow! As a 1 month old baby tuber making running in my local scene in poco in Vancouver. I'm super excited that you did this. Thank you very much. I love your style. With the travel documentary feel to it. And I hope to be informative for my audience in the future. I think you're just doing so great man. I really appreciate the great content. It's really inspiring and I really appreciate the hard hard work. That being said. It would still make me happy to leave you in my dust one day. -still training. Big fan. Peace!!
A Director’s Cut would be awesome! Thanks for being willing to be a bit stressed during your race experience to share it with us. I’m sure the folks who raced Namibia have enjoyed the ability to relive their experience through your documentaries.
I know nothing about photography or filming but this was a great insight into how much work was required to publish all the videos. I watched the entire series and just loved it, so thanks for all your work. Looking forward to following the next one - from Montreal Quebec.
I haven't actually seen this series but wow I'm so thoroughly impressed with every one of your videos! I absolutely love seeing your process and equipment, so thank you so much for sharing!!
Hello, yes I came to you via the series (which I have sent to friends and family) and since then been following you and watching older videos to look at the beautiful places you run. I posted on the live chat that I really enjoyed the i/v with the other competitors so it's great to hear that you are planning to do more of that. I personally also loved the before and after videos (your holidays) because it gave me a great image of the country. Your production skills are very good and I'm just imagining watching the whole Namibia series on the big screen... a running version of the English Patient (well some other differences). What a good idea to have Audree take part in one too! Thanks for sharing
Thanks - I am learning so much from watching your videos anyway and this is NEXT LEVEL help and interest! I am on episode 6 of my first series and I can already see how much better my videos have become. But this has highlighted to me how much more learning and practicing of this craft there is to go! Keep up the great work
Impossible! You do not sound scripted at all. No wind in Georgia? In your dreams. Hearing the music and seeing the clips again means I'm going to see the whole thing again!
Hah, you’re right, it probably will be windy. But it couldn’t be anywhere nearly as bad - the wind is what created the sand dunes in Namibia, after all!
It was a joy to watch your videos of the Namibia race, and I look forward to your race in Georgia. It seemed like this was so laborious for you, but also, a labor of love. I hope you are adequately compensated for your time and energy in doing these productions! Your videos, past and present, are extremely well done, and they bring happiness to my life. Thank you, sir.
Fascinating stuff. Really professionally made end product. You kept me riveted at the edge of my seat. Best of luck in Georgia, I look forward to watch it on CZcams.
Jeff, simply amazing like all of your work. I often choose your videos vs going to one of the bgi streaming platforms for entertainment. They're always relatable, informative and educational all rolled into one. Keep up the good work.
The Namib series was captured so beautifully Jeff. I will never forget how it touched me personally. You’re so good at your craft and please continue doing such a great job capturing such beautiful moments.
Jeff, Fantastic insight into what it takes for you to put together such a fascinating series. It was really varied and the human stories were excellent. The music you hand picked was wonderful and relevant too. One minor suggestion if you can incorporate it briefly somehow would be from the racing perspective a list at episode/day's end of the places and times for the competitors participating. Best wishes for racing, filming and fun at the Georgia race :) Cheers, Richard (Australia)
What an eye opener when it comes to the amount of work that goes into each minute of a finished film! Thank you for going through all that trouble so that we got to enjoy an amazing series. Can’t wait for the Georgia one!
I didn't realise how much work it all was Jeff. This was really interesting, thank you. Racing Namibia was indeed the first of your films that I watched. Now I'm a regular follower! P.x
Wow, I am so impressed! I had not realised how much work it represented before seeing this video. Thanks for sharing, you are even more a model for me !
Great video and insights - answered all my questions about how you had pieced the series together. Thank you! Your enjoyment of the work/process, honest straight-forward delivery, and attention to detail make all the difference.
I'm blown away. I'd say you are a genius 💎 I wish one day I become just nearly that good. Amazing how you understand story telling!! Would you mind sharing where you learned about telling stories like that?
Very inspiring for me as a filmmaker, thanks Jeff. I can appreciate the level of planning involved in this despite not having done anything as complex as this before. Top work and hope to see you maybe in Chamonix this year?
This was fantastic to watch. It's so interesting to see how you put all this together behind the scenes, thanks for sharing this. You answered so many of the questions I had as soon as you announced you going to this race, I find the filming side of it fascinating. Already looking forward to 'Making of Racing Georgia'!
Great work! I can't wait to hear about the event in Georgia, and I'd definitely be interested in watching director's commentary versions of these events. Good luck!
Thanks for the impressive work that you put in your videos, would it be possible also to talk more about your nutrition during the race (1 or 2 min per episode) in Georgia? I think it is an interesting aspect of the race as well. Have fun there!
Super cool Jeff, and really insightful given that I am also sharing my adventures through films. Amazing to see that we have similar gear!! I also have the peakdesign bag! I relate on the issue of weight and trying to get as many different angles for the film. Not easy at all especially in those sandy conditions… all this whilst racing. Bravo.
It's a great series Jeff, and yes it was why I joined your channel. And it's inspired me to tackle a stage race, so I'm working towards the For Rangers next September. Thank you 😊
You were chasing the podium at one point. And you confirmed the impact of film (on preparation, resting…) Do you think that filming cost you places in races ? If so, any idea of the impact ? PS : keep this way to give us such good videos !
It may have cost me the podium, but it’s always so hard to say. For example, had I ran 30 minutes faster overall that week, Radmir who finished ahead of me may have simply pushed himself that much harder in response.
Thanks Jeff! I was planning to follow your path and start filming myself :) Can you help : - As a member of your channel, I still do not have access to your videos about sound and gear. - Can you tell me what is your set-up colour on your sony? And thank you again for all your amazing videos 🎉
Thanks Veronique! Are you on the second tier of membership? The additional videos are only available for that level of support 😀 On my Sony a6600 I use a custom ‘Color profile’ that I created. It’s similar to S-log but not quite as flat, since S-log doesn’t perform well in 8-bit. If you’re not planning on doing a lot of Color correction though, the standard Color profile is just fine!
Hey Veronique, I double-checked your membership and unfortunately you’re on the first level of support but not the ‘Bonus content’ level which is for the higher tier only. Sorry if it wasn’t clear how those membership levels are setup when you joined!
A really interesting look behind the process, thanks for letting us see the process. I have one more question: That wicked cool black Salomon hat, is it a prototype or some sort of athlete exclusive product? I have looked everywhere for it, but no luck.
Thanks! Are you referring to the dark blue one I wore in Namibia? Yea, I think I was given that as part of an ambassador kit, so I’m not sure it ever hit the market.
I just completed the entire Namibia series in one evening. Absolutely incredible and inspirational documentary.
I loved your 'Racing Namibia' series! Seriously, it could be on Nextlix or National Geographic! It was cool to see/hear how you made the films. Thanks Jeff!
I would definitely go for a director’s cut edition!! I really enjoyed the series, however I think it would be really interesting for you to go back and enhance the events as you remember them.
This series is how I found you. You are so talented as a filmmaker. ❤
Fascinating, Not my area of work so seeing the level of planning and attentions to detail is incredible. And, the series did double as a great race video and a travel video. Makes me want to go to Namibia.

You nailed the intro sequence for these films, just hearing that music again makes me want to go back and rewatch the series!
We truly enjoyed your Namibia series. Thank you for sharing your entire experience.
Amazing. The quality of your productions is outstanding. Much gratitude for your efforts. Love watching and following your adventures and races.
directors commentary would be cool to see! I love the 🐘
Thanx for these insights! And braveau to getting it all done. Looking forward to Georgië.

You re hard working and dedicated. Really impressive. An inspiration. Thank you!
Thanks for putting in the effort of filming during races. The end result is great and inspirational.
I'm blown away. I'd say you are a genius 💎 I wish one day I become just nearly that good. Amazing how you understand story telling!! Would you mind sharing where you learned about telling stories like that?
Awesome video man, I haven't seen your videos before but I'll make sure to check the series out.
Very inspiring for me as a filmmaker, thanks Jeff. I can appreciate the level of planning involved in this despite not having done anything as complex as this before. Top work and hope to see you maybe in Chamonix this year?
Yes, hopefully!
thank you so much for sharing with us the way you process. Great !
SUCH good content! Would love a director's cut!
Awesome stuff.
I so appreciated this Jeff- I love the series and can’t wait for the next one.
Great vid. Always educational to see other people's process. Thanks so much

You have really inspired me to go to Namibia especially for a great run
Great vid Jeff. Enjoyed getting a peak behind stage with the series. Incredible amount of work. Amazing work product though! Well worth the effort.
Wow that is all very interesting! Thank you for sharing and kudos for all your hardwork!
Super cool Jeff, and really insightful given that I am also sharing my adventures through films. Amazing to see that we have similar gear!! I also have the peakdesign bag!

Awesome, glad to hear that! I’ll have to look into that race.
@@JeffPelletier just had my 2023 entry confirmed. Very excited 😊 All the best for Georgia 🇬🇪
Thank you.
Such a joy to watch your videos. Are people generally OK with being filmed and interviewed?
Yep, I always ask first but generally people are excited to be part of it.
You were chasing the podium at one point. And you confirmed the impact of film (on preparation, resting…)
Do you think that filming cost you places in races ? If so, any idea of the impact ?
PS : keep this way to give us such good videos !
It may have cost me the podium, but it’s always so hard to say. For example, had I ran 30 minutes faster overall that week, Radmir who finished ahead of me may have simply pushed himself that much harder in response.
I watched all the episodes without breaks. Thank you!
Question: what software you used for editing?
Glad you enjoyed the series! I use DaVinci Resolve.
Director's cut, please!
Thanks Jeff! I was planning to follow your path and start filming myself :)
Can you help :
- As a member of your channel, I still do not have access to your videos about sound and gear.
- Can you tell me what is your set-up colour on your sony?

Can you respond to my other question as well?

Really great content !!! Just want to know what deck are you using for your color grading et Davinci Resolve?
Thanks! I use the Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel. Love it, worth every penny. I also have the Speed Editor, but I don’t use it much.
@@JeffPelletier Thanks for taking the time to respond !!! :)

Are you coming to Lofoten ultra trail?
the series was awesome ... watching this vid here on how you produced that, you make it look so easy. love this channel!
