I am binge watching all your videos in a row and my only complain so far is that... there are not enough! I really like your aesthetic. I'm not exactly sure what it is, maybe the warmth of the color, maybe your specific oranges and browns and greens...? Watching your videos puts me in some kind of meditating state. Nothing else matter and it ease my soul. Thank you. I'm looking for your next piece of art. PS : Love your dog! He has character.

Really appreciate that, Thomas! Hahaha I don’t have too many secrets really, just a workflow that involves basic corrections, then creative decisions like curves, colors and power windows, then a chain of effects like grain, sometimes subtle halation, etc.. overall it’s usually ~15 nodes per clip. I’ll use the hero shot from each scene as the starting point for that color palette/location. Hope that helps! It’s a wildly capable camera and I absolutely adore it.

Dylan the attention to the smallest details in this video make the difference, I noticed you use different shutter clicking sounds depending on the camera used for each shot shown in the video... phenomenal.

Beautiful. Can I ask how you take care of your camera gear while on a beach/near sand? When I was young, I had sand ruin a zoom lens on a camera, and since have been very hesitant to shoot anything near sandy areas. Easy to do when I live in a land-locked state, but would love some advice for when I am able to travel to the ocean!
