The Lumix S1H actually records 3:2. If you shoot with 1.6 squeeze factor, you will get an aspect ratio of 2.4:1, which looks dope af ^^

Really like this more relaxed format with guests! Don't get me wrong, the 30 minute long technical deep-dives are great too. Good stuff!

[savnac]

I love how “not seriously” the vibe on this video is. Feels like you’re all being more “yourself”. Fun to watch :)

[impatrickt]

I hope I get to collab with Peter Tomato one day.


haha. great video! thanks for having me.

[Miguel_.O]

Gerald, love that you are trying new things! Whatever you come up with, I'll be watching.

[zebrazone]

So good to see you make a video with Devinsupertramp !

[reecegrocott]

I really love the more casual approach to this video, it really feels like you you are having more fun with the production of the video and the gear, however, I do wish there was a way to incorporate your 'experiments' into the video. The reason I was drawn to your channel was because of that extra layer of detail you brought to the conversation. Your video on 4/3 sensors really stands out to me for that reason. I was thinking about how you could manage this and still retain that fun, casual tone to your videos, and a thought I had would be that instead of you talking to the camera and relaying your findings afterwards, you take the audience through the experiments and as you are testing things we get to see it happen in the moment, and then you can give your opinions off the cuff as you get the new information. I dunno food for thought, bottom line I will continue to support you because you are one of the few YouTubers I really enjoy watching. I hope you are doing well.

I can see you're having more fun already. Way to go, Gerald, keep it up!

[HannsSchmelzer]

I am digging the new format so so much! I hope you are having fun doing this videos.

[sammymorales]

I love that Gerald is trying new things, but the reason I love him is that he is so surgical about accurate information, He is the most percised youtuber, and this format is just like every youtuber. Follow your heart, but hope you keep doing what you used to do about gear. I feel like Gerald takes us to school

[brettpatching]

Great experiment! I liked the Unnecessary B-Roll Montage :) I really appreciated the sample footage – it gave a good impression of how the lens would make a film look. I also really liked Patrick's Stabilization Notes afterwards – sharing insights in his own studio space after he edited. I love the "discussion" format; same with your Not a Podcasts with Josh. Can't wait to see what you make next.

[mribi]

I prefer your highly nerdy deep dives but I’m so happy to see you having more fun on camera and doing what you want to do ❤️🔥

[Linealo]

Loved this video style. Felt way more casual and less condensed / stressed out. Surely not one that fits every format, but I could see this "easy" handling be something that could nix up the overall content in a nice way.

[ForestCinema]

Just a heads up (from an anamorphic nut job) SmallHD monitors can desqueeze anamorphic anywhere from 1.00X to 3.00X on a sliding scale with an accuracy of 0.01. They’re a must-have for shooting with anamorphics and can handle whatever you throw at them. I film regularly with my vintage 1.75X Kowa on S1H Open Gate 6K, and I’m able to desqueeze and have 2.40:1 frame guides no problem.

"You are the first thing I am trying"
Love that part!

[johnnyfitzlive]

Look, if you're going to change your format like this, then go right ahead because this was a great video and we're all excited for any new Gerald Undone content in any style you choose.

[MikeLindup]

Great to see you sharing with your peers, in your studio, Gerald - especially after all the lockdowns and enforced isolation - and i love the informal yet informed approach to reviewing this lens. I don't know if I'd ever dabble in anamorphic, but Sirui seems to be making good stuff for those of us who are aspirational.

[AlexGTech]

Love the new angles and relaxed feel Gerald

[LeeZavitz]

"It's actually kindda fishy, not gonna lie" lol

[AmritaBhortake]

Gerald, I love this format. Felt like I was listening to my peers talk about gear and I was really into it. Nice work 🙌🏼
