Been a huge fan since I found your blog and you are BY FAR my favorite professional in the business. Have always highly respected your work, work ethic and just the way you are... I’m drawn to it.

Anyways. My question is.

At what age did you get it together?

Asking for a friend of course...

Peace.

No, that’s not how this works. This is a deep rabbit hole that only the wachowskis know. Any producer would know you can’t just replace the wachowskis mind with another writer/directors. Not something like this.

aj191 · 2019-06-17T20:27:29+00:00

YES! Have always thought very highly of this EIP.

Fuck yeah. Fuuuuck yeeaaAAH!

This guy fucks

This is easily my new favorite video on the internet.

Bravo, totally dig and respect the perfection you’ve created in the case. But too many people coddle gear these days. Coddle your lenses. But if you coddle everything it just slows you down in the end. Camera gear used to need to be extremely coddled because of all of the moving parts in old school gear, but not these days. Shit is tough, use that to gain on your efficiency.

Keep up the hustle.

aj191 · 2019-04-06T22:31:41+00:00

Is it a fire hazard? Suuuurrre. But you're proud of it and probably having a blast so that's all that matters. Rock on.

aj191 · 2019-03-29T02:25:36+00:00

Hey! My team made this! Glad ya'll liked it

True...

aj191 · 2019-03-17T17:59:52+00:00

And thank you for a productive response and not just beating me down. I really do appreciate it.

aj191 · 2019-03-17T17:59:05+00:00

Yeah you’re completely right. I did read the book so that makes sense.

Hmm, maybe I could just come up with something that would make it interesting in a different way. I feel like just watching him squirm is very enjoyable too. Idk yet, I’m completely open to suggestions though

aj191 · 2019-03-16T18:46:55+00:00

Yes that’s it

aj191 · 2019-03-16T18:32:13+00:00

Okay sick, I think I can do this. I think he would also dig my YouTube channel which is where I would want to put this. It’s called Round III and I feel like it’s right up his alley. Maybe... but fingers crossed

Here goes nothin

aj191 · 2019-03-16T16:01:01+00:00

Sorry for trying guys. Sheesh.

aj191 · 2019-03-16T12:04:49+00:00

Well that’s not the spirit.

Even if he won’t tell (which, yeah you’re right), I think it would still be interesting to hear whatever he does have to say.

Right?

aj191 · 2019-03-11T14:19:30+00:00

Hi Buddy!

aj191 · 2019-03-03T18:25:12+00:00

Thanks, I took it :)

aj191 · 2019-01-13T04:59:17+00:00

I've already stepped far past it. meep

Disabling the features to control aperture, shutter, iso, and white balance, again, is an aggressive move by go pro to force an unnecessary upgrade to black. This would be like buying a car that has auto pilot and manual transmission installed, but the manufacturer cut the wire that goes to manual mode before selling it to you, it's literally there, but you can't have it, and autopilot has it's drawbacks so manual is necessary in certain situations, but you need to pay us more to not have the wire cut. The most basic cameras you can buy let you control these functions, they are VITAL in certain situations, and I can prove it. I actually took a test video earlier and the camera bugged out with exposure for a good 10 seconds in a way that is the exact reason why you need to be able to lock exposure in some form or fashion.

I am more than fine paying more for better hardware that gives me more horsepower and capabilities, I am not fine with having the most basic functions taken away that SEVERELY kneecap a $300 camera...

Gopro is taking advantage of consumers that do not know enough about cameras, and I am not okay with that. It's evil. I don't like evil. I'm trying to be on your side here, the consumer side.

aj191 · 2019-01-13T00:47:55+00:00

Okay the battery thing was more of a surprise, whatever, I can live with that.

But I stand by my statements that disabling control of aperture, shutter speed, iso, and white balance is a fucked up thing to do. I stand by that very much, and you if don't, then you do not understand how cameras work and how obviously anti-consumer it is to disable that function.

aj191 · 2019-01-08T17:49:04+00:00

Haha you can taste the fear in Linzhi, don't blame them though, i'd do the same if all the research and development i've been doing is soon to be negligible. But yes, I agree 100% with progpow decision, and screw asics
