Michael and Dustin open the show with some shout-outs to the most ubiquitous sponsors of podcasts. They spend a bit of time discussing their favorite Youtube personalities and the impact of rolling shutter on handheld filming and why Aputure makes some of the best lights for the money. After some more chit chat about YouTube personalities you should definitely check out... they slam the titles that said YouTubers give their videos. Michael and Dustin zero in on one YouTuber who is challenging RED Digital Cinema on the quality of their products and why RED is way overpriced. Dustin then gives major props to another YouTuber with a show about drinking and one named Daniel Schiffer, who really makes some incredible videos with handheld shots. They then turn the conversation towards whether it makes sense to give away all your filming secrets for free. The guys take a break to talk abut Dustin’s glasses that he bought from Warby Parker, and their thinning hairlines. After that, they move on to more pressing topics... like how Dustin allocates his time during an edit. They wrap the show by talking about Dustin’s real calling.
Some of Michael's favorite YouTube Video creators:
Creative North

When The Angels Win The Pennant

Send us a text

Michael and Dustin open the show with a discussion about movies and Dustin makes an embarrassing admission about both his Netflix subscription and an odd contraption that he keeps in his basement. The conversation turns back to baseball movies and the weird storylines in family movies that seemed perfectly acceptable in the 1990’s. Dustin then proposes the idea of forcing his kids to follow in his videographer footsteps while simultaneously questioning his own life path. The guys talk about drinking on shoot days and their worst client experiences. Before wrapping up the guys discuss filming their families, how much they do it, and the idea of filming video of other people’s vacation. Instead of wrapping up, Michael reveals the celebrity who’s Dustin’s voice is a dead ringer for. Then they start to wrap the show with wife talk, and other domesticated chit chat. Michael tells a story about a list he made that got him into a lot of trouble with his wife, Kate and Dustin tells a story about an interaction he had with Kate.
The movie that guys referenced in the beginning of the movie: Angles in The Outfield

Looks, Lenses, Interns, and Pocket 4K vs. DSLRs

Send us a text

The guys open the show with some bullshit that no one actually cares about. Dustin says “breathtaking” at one point and they move on to more pressing topics. After the initial opening remarks, they chat about their picture styles... the videography styles they are into... their favorite lenses, etc. Michael talks about buying new gear (storage, computers, cameras) and making the transition to entry level cinema cameras after filming on DSLR’s for almost a decade. Michael receives an email during the podcast regarding how to host a video that will be emailed to 10,000+ people in a fan-club. Michael then spends a couple minutes bashing Vimeo and their “chapters” feature. The guys talk about ProRes proxy and whether the BMPCC4K is worth fussing with at weddings. After that Dustin asks Michael what gear he’s going to buy next. They pour a couple drinks and talk about interns and the terrible experiences they’ve had with them, including a lawsuit that Dustin had filed against him. They hit on the concept of “reels” and why they are worthless, and eventually wrap up with some more personal shit and how lots of people expect creative video work to be free.
