At a loss for words, its an absolute dream come true to direct the launch film for the Canon R5 Mark II. Couldn't have done this without you all <3

[KanishkGupta]

Man, you've just set a new benchmark in YouTube filmmaking.

[rprbeck]

Such an honor to make the music for this! You and the boys killed it!!! Probably the best launch film I‘ve seen so far!

[JacekBilczynski]

As a pilot and a guy who loves filming, thank you for this breathtaking piece of art! Thanks to people like you, YouTube is a better place.

20% of the credit: R5 II
80% of the credit: Sam Newton's knowledge of framing and color grading.

Do you all know the feeling of void we feel after watching a GREAT Hollywood film? Like we want more
This is the first YouTube shortfilm that I have watched and have gotten that feeling

I’m not a photographer but I’ve never been happier to be a Stearman pilot!

Incredible work on this! By far the best short film release canon has had made.

[stookymedia]

The music and momentum build had me waiting for Optimus Prime to come in and do a "Autobots roll out" scene. This is an amazing video man, keep doing what you're doing.
