"HAVE FUN" Yep that hit harrrd

very interesting, thanks for this and all that you do on here

I can relate to that feeling so much. Thanks for sharing dude

Wonderful cinematography! Does anyone know what kind of lenses he uses?

What lenses is Gian using here?

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

👍🏾👍🏾Many Thanks, my Good Brother! Awesome Work. Instant subscribe from me. Best Wishes to ya, Man. Carlos from Detroit.

Thank you so much for this video. Its really helping me right now.

Do you have any tips on color grading? The colors on this are amazing!

Very nice. What were the large diffused square light boxes you used in this? Does anyone know? @21:37

nice advice mate...cheers ! greeting from indonesia people who love filmaking🤗

What camera did you previously have ?

Great video. I've been looking to wind up and just get a job after 8 years of throwing a camera around... I don't enjoy it anymore, creativity has dried up, can't be bothered doing passion projects. Super weird timing though - I had my best year ever last year. this year is my worst year since I started.

I feel like sometimes doing work you hate might come as a blessing if you keep giving your 100% to it even though it’s exhausting. In my case I hated doing highlights reels vertically. But overtime it kinda became the niche everyone in my area thought I was better at so it wasn’t so bad at the end. Also I feel like as filmmakers we will never be satisfied. Always finding the next way to be creative

I needed this today, thank you ✌️🎥

Thanks for your stories Gian Carlo, seems like your videos are always coming at the right time and your words are just what I need to hear. Feels like a big hug and bucket full of approval!

So regretful that I sold my Bolex H16 outfit and Kern lenses and Beaulieu R16mm with an angeneuix zoom!!

Gian Carlo, you have often helped me on my journey as a DP and Human already. I really appreciate your vulnerable, calm way of describing things and inviting us into your thoughts. It is not taken for granted. Thank you very much man.

That “have fun” hit hard bro. Cause sometimes we forget that this is our passion you’re working with everyday. This video helped to ease my anxiety alot. You should’ve went to school to be a therapist bro haha. Well done video as usual man. 🤘🏾

Hey mate, one thing that's helped me over the years is remembering that you ARE NOT a filmmaker, you are a person who makes films. If you tie your identity too closely to your art or what you do, then when you're not doing it, you start to feel lost in your identity, and this can lead to depression, anxiety etc. This happens to a lot of people especially when they retire or a fired from a job (or in your case, just in between projects), they feel lost or lose the 'social belonging' that they had connected so closely to what they do, rather than who they are. You are you without those things. Hope this helps others also, take care :)

This is what I needed today cuz a brotha is going through it! Thanks for this Gian Carlo

06:38 facts - the challenge is such a critically important part for me, it makes doing the thing worth it.

You might not be therapist, but you sure seem to be a natural at coaching, thank you for you time.

Needed this brother!

I've found as of recent that I have more time, so I've been grinding away at the RUclips channel. It feels so refreshing because I can create things that I find fun and doesn't require stress or excessive planning. It's definitely nice to have an outlet to let your creative mind flow. Whatever that might be for people, I certainly hope they can find the time to do it. Great video Gian, happy to see you out and about shooting with your wife.

Thanks for making this

Perfectly timed video. Always love the honesty and authenticity of your channel!

Good talk Carlo!

It’s tough, Brother. Filming by oneself is hard. I went to CineGear with all these plans to do technical interviews but eked out only one interview but I found something greater at the end of it; people…old friends and new friends. Keep trucking and stay creative.

makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one. and people more skilled than me STILL have my same issue sometimes. On another note, FILM IS FOREVER!

Haha the intro goes so hard at the moment

aww film. The Arri 16SR II. Occasionally the 35 BL3. Waiting a couple day for dailes to be shipped back from Foto-kem. The anticipation of finding out if everything looks like you wanted it to. The old Spectra lightmeter that used metal slides with holes…each corresponding to a particular ASA. Actually still have it. To many memories.

Damn I'm a 16mm hobbyist and I've never seen those lenses before what are those? Also- congrats on putting some film through the Bolex, such a special and deeply satisfying exercise isn't it? Did you use the spot metering too or mainly just incident readings? I find spot metering to be a bit easier and more intuitive. Great video man, wonderful message

Your YT is my favorite channel right now man. I love how every video has these meta lessons on life, filmmaking or family. Big inspiration!

Related so much to your idea of being grateful for when you're busy but also when it's slow. It can be so easy to be stressed when things are slow and not enjoy the extra time to relax and be creative!

Hi guys I had this idea also like a month ago I bought super 8mm camera but somehow can’t find website to buy the film in Europe. Can you recommend?

Will you share the clips filmed?

So good.

Beautiful stuff, Carlo! I've recently returned to creating RUclips video and it's been _slow_ and _rough_ and this video was _such_ a balm to my anxieties! Thank you for always being so willing to share of yourself - both your creativity and _your heart_

"Just do the thing." hit hard man! Great video Carlo👍

Brother, this video is so refreshing and is hitting me at a milestone moment in my life. I'm so grateful there are other DP's actually learning how to use light meters and I have mad respect for you, not only because of your work, but also because it's a huge dream of mine to shoot a narrative project on 16mm film. I'm glad for you and your videos and hope one of these days we could work together! love your stuff man, keep pushing through during this moment of downtime in the industry!

👍

Love this so much dude. Following your curiosity as an artist and a human as a wise man once said is truly how I've been going about life since I heard him say it. Thanks for all you do Carlo. Keep having fun and enjoying life.

you the actual best man. can't wait to see the 16mm!

❤❤

love this Gian, keep going! always appreciative for the openness with your journey on the week to week. i have to ask what brand those croc looking white shoes are...

That's so cool. we used that in class this semester. Loading it and hearing that sound after was one of the best feeling I have felt In a long time ...if anyone need help out there with the stuff and is in the riverside CA area let me.know I love this film stuff so much....

Recently did something similar, where shot medium format portraits on film for the first time so I borrowed a friends RB67 and light meter, bought some rolls and went out and shot and felt so good afterwards!
