I always feel like I'm in a film shop class when I watch your videos. Love it dude!!

[Democratese]

Really blown away by the 16mm footage compared. Thank you for finishing the series.

[Zach_Films]

I think the footage from the 35mm camera is beautiful, super dream-like

[Derrikbulginheadin]

The soft focus actually adds a really interesting effect to the 35mm footage, I thought you were using vaseline or a diffusion filter to create that effect. You should definitely save that diy lens and use it for a dream sequence or something like that. Very cool!

Hey there!
Could you please do a tutorial on the PBS Entertainment intro? The sound is awesome with the distorted sound (besides the crackling of course) is there a way to recreate that? Thanks!

[sabasmendivil]

This is incredible!!!! Thanks for the series, you just calmed a lot of my doubts, amazing material! Hope you are well

Definitely would be nice to get the right lens to take advantage of the higher resolution compared to 16mm.

Does anybody else think Joey Shanks and Devon Graham sound and look alike, maybe they are long lost filmmaker brothers! 😂😂😂

[razareg]

What if you used a AA battery holder with four slots? It might be a safer option than the lead battery.

[gersoneduardojimenezbarret]

can those cameras catch colour or you give colour in post production, how is that process... is here a video about it?

[wwsvs]

Loved your videos. Where did you go? Hope all is well with you!

[maximebeaudoin]

Hey shanks just wondering when we'll get to see galaxy gulch and i have a question\video idea. What if for your super 8 night shots you either put a blue gel in front of the lens and shoot during day or shot in the night time but use blue lighting paired with normal lighting? Thanks

[WinSchutten]

Are the orange lights on the side due to light leaks or lack of a lens hood?

[CyberCreeper]

that is one expensive ass xmass morning home video

[remjet]

Do you find the 6V battery can power the camera at 24fps okay?
