Companies should not be able to run creator's YouTube videos as ads. One of my videos is currently an ad without my permission. It makes me look biased and conflicts with my ethics statement in that video. View duration on that video is in the toilet now and dislikes are up. 🤦♂️😡

The conspiracy theories about how much I was paid by Sony for my review. That I don't even have the R5 and I made up all my thoughts about it. Wow. Just wow, wow, wow. To those people, you're too heavily attached to your brand. Not everyone is going to like what you like.

Here it is! My Sony a7S III video. It's exactly what you'd want from an "Undone" video: 26 minutes of me yammering on about codecs, dynamic range, obscure menu functions, and system stability. But fear not... this camera is as perfect as it gets. 😜👍

I'm about to turn down the largest sum of money I've ever been offered to do a showcase video on my channel because the product in question JUST falls below my threshold to recommend it. I guess I just want a pat on the back from Twitter. 🤣🤓🤷♂️

To those asking: No, I don't have any thoughts on the R5's new firmware--I don't have the camera anymore. In fact, Canon stopped replying to my emails after my review came out. 🤷♂️

Possibly controversial opinion, but to those complaining about the drive speed on the new Sony camera--or any other camera by any brand for that matter--if you can't get the shot with 5-10 fps, don't worry, you weren't gonna get it anyway. 😜🤓🤠

I just had a surreal moment. I was looking at who I follow and noticed that 90%+ of the amazing creators I follow on here that inspire me, follow me back. I watched many of you before I even had a channel. It's very trippy, but I'm grateful to be a part of this community. 🤓🙏💜

Yes, I was featured in the latest Sony newsletter. To my rational followers who assume this was just Sony fairly leveraging my positive review, don't be so rational! I was actually paid $125,006 for this article and I get 69% of all revenue from every a7S III sold worldwide. 🤠💁♂️

Filming a video today about log vs linear footage and why adding contrast and saturation is not enough for log. I'm making it either way, but let me know if this topic sounds exciting to you. 😜🤓👍

Okay,
@canonrumorsguy
, I've reached out thrice now and even sent an email. You won't seem to respond to me directly, just insult me on other tweet threads. Not sure what else to do, but I gotta move on now. Offer still stands, but if not, I hope you find some peace. Take care.

Today I announce that I officially have a new favourite camera. The Sony a1. 🤓🎉
So now the the timeline of Gerald's favourite cameras goes:

4. BMPCC4K
3. Sony a7 III
2. Panasonic GH5

YouTubers always be like, "Look how complicated my timeline is for my next video." And I'm always thinking, "You ever heard of a compound clip? That's just messy and inefficient, not impressive." How do y'all even find anything in those labyrinths?! 🤓💜🤣

A message to any new YouTubers: Don't try and build an audience by making a hit piece or negative review of another creator. Maybe in certain niches that works, but in tech/creative it just looks bad and never seems to yield wanted results from what I've witnessed. 🤓👍

Ugh! These overheating tests take so long to do because you need to leave them to cool for a good 2 hours before you can run another valid test again. I've made a chill room to try and cool them down quickly, but still. I think I'm on hour 35 of overheating tests. Almost done...

I dedicate a small window of time each day to replying to messages & comments. It's disappointing to see one like this. We should not act entitled to a creator's time. Not to sound big time, but I receive 500+ comments & 150+ DMs every single day. I'm trying my best, I promise.🙏

Good news! My a7S III guide for picture profiles, colour, exposure, etc. is shot and the edit has begun. Currently the video is only 95 minutes long...🙃🤦♂️

Latest video is underperforming big time, which surprised me a bit. 😭
Also, it has several endlessly annoying comments telling me how I *should* be setting up my desk instead. As if a 35 year-old man who edits 60+ hours a week doesn't know how he likes his own desk set up. 🤦♂️

I think the Canon R6 with a Ninja V is a better use of money than the R5. Oversampled 4K60 with unlimited record times and a terrific codec, while leveraging the better pricing of sata SSDs over CFExpress. If I had to give a recommendation on specs alone, that would be it.

More bad news about the R5. Every minute that you spend taking photos with it reduces the time you can shoot HQ video. Today I shot photos for 1 hour in 30C summer weather, and by the end of it, I switched to video and the overheat warning was on and 0 mins remaining due to heat.

Latest GH6 video is my most disliked video in a long time. I guess people forgot I'm one of the original GH5 hype boys. 😜 Built my channel on the M4/3 system. I still mostly praised the GH6, but I had some reasonable criticisms. Fan groups got no chill.

So, I've shot and done a basic edit on that log/linear video I asked you about earlier today. It's 30-minutes of me yelling theoretical ravings about curves and luminance values. Why did I think this was a good idea? 🤓🤦♂️🤣

At least once a day I see comments like this calling me abnormal or saying I talk fast to fakely impress or compensate for a lack of intelligence or self-confidence.
I just talk quickly. I do everything quickly. I don't know how to be slower. IRL people think I'm on drugs. 🤣🤓👍

I'm conducting an experiment. I've disabled all mid-roll ads from my YouTube channel for the month of September. I'm going to see how it affects my ad revenue. If the impact isn't too heavy, I'll leave them off. Either way, I'll let you know the impact. 🤓

So I saw a fascinating video recently by
@GeraldUndone
about video waveforms, and today I've been tinkering up a visualisation to help explain how they work.
It's Really Simple™ - just think of the image as a five-dimensional object being rotated 90° in three-dimensional space.

Just recorded a video and it was full gonzo. I had a table full of junk, no script, a nuisance fly, FedEx called me about my delayed a7S III shipment in the middle of it, and it sounded like a war zone outside for some reason. The video goes up tomorrow. Should be terrible. 🙃🤠

Short selling and short squeezing is not investing. Neither is speculating on hot stonks. Investing is a mostly unexciting marathon.

A reminder to always trust your instincts and not base creative decisions on comments. Back to back comments like this show you can't please everyone. Also, I've been adding comedic stuff into my videos for years. So, you can't always trust their frame of reference either.

For everyone asking me about S-Cinetone on the a7S III.
The ISOs are 100 & 2000.
Maximum zebra level is 109+
Expose naturally, but protect highlights.
Dynamic range is about 1.5 to 2 stops worse than S-Log3.

1. Make 90-minute video detailing channel ethics.
2. Get called a shill in the comments of that video because according to one delusional commenter the Canon RP is smaller than the a7C and I was paid by Sony to lie about it.
3. Tweet about that comment.
4. Profit?

There's a misunderstanding of what the word "bias" actually means in the YouTube comments section. Liking a product or even an entire brand is not a bias. Bias is a prejudice that prevents fair analysis. And it's impossible to gauge someone's bias when you disagree with them. 🤠

Interesting observation: I've shot my last couple videos on the a7S III, but it wasn't until I told people in a video that I was shooting on it that any comments about colour came up. You see what you want to see. 🤔
