The Unique Visual Tapestry of 'At Eternity's Gate' | A Journey Into Van Gogh's Inner World
Переглядів 309Рік тому
So, what makes this film stand out among a slew of biopics? It's the innovative way it tells the story and delves deep into Van Gogh's psyche. In this video, I explain how "At Eternity's Gate" redefines the biopic genre. It ditches the usual linear story for an empathetic exploration into Van Gogh's inner world. From the film's evocative visual poetry to its empathetic portrayal of Van Gogh, we...

Our adventure in the Solomon Islands was a wake-up call. We were one of the first big tour groups to visit since the pandemic and what we experienced was a shocker.

Despite our meeting with the tourism office, their promises to...

Sea was not rough. its the driver
Hello the 6K Anamorphic support OIS ? or 4.2.2 ? thanks I love this old but with Low pass filter camera! I need one
Very poor service provider. RAX BOY you should be fully responsible.
WOW I'm searching and this is the most cinematic I was looking and the close up are amazing too! I will try to use in a Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5k MFT mount
My grandfather was in the 172nd infantry 43 division Vermont national guard
This video should be in our school curriculum in year 8, knowing our history. Great effort.
The sea is not rough, the skipper is to be blame.
Man, this looks so sick
Hello! Could you tell me which memory card to use in this camera? I can't find any compatible ones.
Do you think this would be ok for casual handheld shooting without a rig?
You definitely can! But you'll need to use a lens with image stabilization, like the Panasonic 14-42mm or 12-35mm.
I saw that you worked with Brian. He was on a trip there for the 75 anniversary in 2017 with our group and asked us to allow him to get the best advantage for filming( seat location in van etc). He had promised us a copy of his work in exchange. Got back to the states and tried to contact him multiple times but he never got back to us. We initially were worried about him, but came to the realization that he just kind of flaked out. Sad, we thought better of him.
Me encanta esa cámara, y me venden una en 200 USD. Pero no sé qué debo revisar para saber si funcionará al 100%
My most favorite movie since it came out, still now to this day.
Mr. Neal Howland, have you made a video on Biak too ? Thank you.
I read an excellent account of this campaign , ACTUALLY STUDYING it intensively : one of the most amazing incidents involved Mr. Jacob vuza , CAPTURED by the Japanese , tortured and barometer , to get him to talk ... which he did not . This GREAT MANS STORY in itself would be worth reading , AS A tribute to his outstanding loyalty to the marines X GOD BLESS YOU JACOB WHERE EVER YOU ARE X BY OCEAN SUPPLY VESSEL CAPTAIN P. van ESS.

This maybe a controversial opinion… The Thin Red Line is better than Saving Private Ryan. And it surprises that even with a star cast, it doesn’t get much of the same love
No, not at all! I completely agree with you. I credit both of the movies for spiking my interest in WWII. Saw them both in theaters when they released!
@@howlandneal I agree. I mean I love SPR but there’s something about this just speaks better
dope
It was a fun Covid lockdown experiment!
The movie is poetry
Absolutely.
Extremely well done!
Does the boat service provide life jackets...and how many times the skipper experience to travel in any weather situation.
I am from the Solomon Islands and I am deeply ashamed of this situation, as it highlights greed (as rightfully stated), and total disregard from the Authorities in terms of policing sea transports. This would probably be a criminal case if reported to the police upon your arrival in Honiara. Anyways, I'm glad there's no fatalities.
Love this. What lenses?
I found mine to not work really properly in bright sunshine outside. Did you experience the same?
Should be 3 boats carrying at least 6 to 7 people in each boats when travelling that distance. 20 passengers together in one boat was just too much....surely anything can happen
What lenses did you use for the wedding? Looking for sharp rendering glass that enhances the detail look, hopefully without the annoying chromatic aberration look seen in bmpcc og footage, and budget friendly. Is a speed booster worth a buy? This video has a great example of "clean" looking wedding footage that rivals more recent cameras without degrading to a "film look"...
Also where did you get the cage or is there another compatible one in stock somewhere? I saw some others using a universal cage or eos m cage...
This is really fascinating. My grandfather was a medic with the 43rd during WWII. In one sense, I cannot imagine the things he must’ve seen - the horror and terror of it all. In another sense, I can see why he was assigned to the medical battalion and why he was such a kind, patient, loving man in the rest of his life. It’s amazing that he could’ve endured these conditions and come back sound, stable, and gentle, but he did. Perhaps that was simply his nature all along, perhaps going to war and seeing the things he saw only increased a natural tendency he had toward compassion. I’m so proud to know who he was after the war - it only makes his service that much more incredible to me - that he made it back without becoming jaded or cynical. It’s miraculous, really.
My grandfather was there as well. 43rd
Should be open tourism, free to all armed force family members. I say let people pay a fee to scour for artifacts they can keep. Find an old gun, bayonet, its yours. Find a skull, well, might cost you alittle more. I know Pres Trump wont let this potential for big income go to waste.
My Canon kit was stolen and a friend just gave me this camera. I'm excited to charge up the four batteries and start shooting! Thanks for the great video introduction.
unfortunately i can't find anywhere
Do you need RavenEye for 3D Focus?
The narration is the best part of the movie. Really captures the inner thoughts and emotions of the servicemen.
I completely agree. Even the performances of the lines are spot on.
great camera!
If you are lucky enough to own this camera, for the love of god, keep it. They will be sought after in years to come.
Really? Whys that do you think? I have one and was just considering selling it lol. The battery life is just awful! But RAW footage is great
@@soundsidecolour Because its one of those cameras that is totally unique, especially with the look you can get out of it. Also, the form factor is excellent. The battery is awful for sure, but they are cheap enough just to load a few and take it out shooting. I don't think you should sell it but its up to you. I've kept mine and use it all the time for random days out grabbing cinematic shots and compiling short stories.
@@thedigitalemotion you're right, I think the reason why I fell out of love with it was because of the battery and the grading that was required and how it's not always a simple one to pick up and go but it still works and is a very solid piece of kit. Maybe I'll keep it and look towards getting a more solid rig with a battery solution for future use. I have a Fujifilm x-e4 now which is also semi rare due to its limited run but I love it for its quick ease of use and small body. Good to have both I guess!
@@soundsidecolour Sounds like a good idea! I think you'd regret selling it, I really do. If in doubt, just watch a few more of these videos about how good it actually is, you'll soon be pleased you kept it! Happy shooting! :D
@@thedigitalemotion thank you for the motivation, I will keep it! Glad I came to this video! Have a good summer and enjoy the Olympics if you're watching :)
Should have got one of Gizo marine's Boats
Dave Holland the guide is THE most knowledgeable historian on WW2 regarding the Solomon Islands in the world. His accent is a mix of Aussie and Yank, quirky cool
Great upload, I’m Australian we owe the local Solomon Islanders and Papuans a lot. They were essential in both U.S. and Australian WW2 victories in both countries, helping the wounded, trekking supplies and providing intel as well as taking up arms against the Japanese who were hated by the locals as much as our boys.
I just bought BMPCC OG for really cheap ($300 + 3 batteries) and can't wait to start shooting with this little beast. I also bought old soviet lens Helios 44-2 and adapter for it. I always want this camera since almost 11 years ago whet Blackmagic release it, and today I already have it!
Hey! That's awesome that you got your hands on the BMPCC OG and for such a good deal! It has its own unique charm, and it's cool that you've been wanting it for so long, I did too! Have a blast with your new gear and hope to see some of it on here.
i own this camera and I love it
Wow.. that was phenomenal! Thank you! That was well done! Everything I would have wanted to see, and more. You have spared me a long arduous trip. Perfect narration, music, editing.. I can't say enough... wonderful!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the content. Your support means a lot.

no te entendi mucho pero mil gracias en este preciso momento acabo de adquirir esa misma y soy creador de contenido, y gracias a ti podre dormir tranquilo pense que no habia considerado todos los aspectos de la camara que adquiri pero gracias a ti me quedo claro
It's a great little camera, have fun using it and learning new skills. You'll find it easy to use other more modern options after mastering the essentials with this one.
@@howlandneal muchas gracias crack y mucha suerte con tu contenido
another pointless ilm made by an amateur who knos nothing about cameras.
Fantastic sample footage, looks good and really shows what the filters look like. The 2-5 is so perfect for day to day while the 6-9 is much too strong as a normal dehancer-style effect. Argh.
Couldn't agree more!
What lenses do you use blacjmagic camera
Munda to Emperess Augusta I think, a raid on Dublon Island. the plane was shot up, later covered by RNZAF fighters, as the B-24 somehow werent firing back, Travis was the co-pilot, the plane then lost it's other engine(s) and crashed (maybe somewhat sort of idk if it is) near a small island out in the sea away from Munda and not terribly far from Chuuk, all the crew was, first MIA and later KIA, his name is engraved on a wall of the missing under M in manila Phillippenes war cemetary
my 2nd gt uncle Travis Moore was stationed at Munda at a B-24 airbase, he died durring a mission 2 april 1944 a raid on Truk, after the bombing his plane mustve been shot up and later crashed in the water on the way back to base 394 BS 5 GP H Jesus is coming soon😊 I hope all the crew are home! he never made it back to his earthly abode in Chattanooga TN where my Grandfather's Moore's were from after Alabama, after their Grandfather's? Family moved there. God bless you all
what is the best shutter speed for better results in catalyst
It seems that the best shutter speed for gyro stabilized Sony FX3 footage would depend on various factors such as the motion in the scene, lighting conditions, and desired level of stabilization.
Thinking about buying the lens and would love to know about the setup you used to get these shots! This is incredible
Thank you! We put the liquids in a large clear glass baking dish and then put an LED light stick underneath it for lighting. Worked out pretty well! A sturdy tripod was used too of course.
well done video, we have been to Guadalcanal in Solomon and it was amazing. Thanks
nice edits
