PannySVHS Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Holy crap! I started loosing interest with the Sony 7R2 review, because I felt some oddity shining through his message about the cameras that "might be for me, don´t have to be for others". At first he focused his reviews on the underdog and niche cameras. With the R2 review it was all big releases after another. Gee, I never I figured he has been a ghostspotter. His otherwordly youtubechannel has been around 2012 even! Crazy! Would have never thought that. I am not into Hifi though. 😀 Started a third video of his ghost expertise. Not easy to watch at all! Puh! But he quit the camera review game. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 30, 2022 Administrators Share Posted March 30, 2022 Steve's spirit box app should have a sponsor like Kessler and accompanying pocket dolly. Until it all goes wrong, the spirit jokes about his balding head and he ends up smacking the ghost in the mouth Will Smith style.

That´s right. And date of the video is three weeks before his info video about the camera review business. Don´t wanna post it here, cuz I kinda feel uncomfortable. "You´re bald!" The ghost sounds like he is making fun of Steve Huff big time, even kinda mimiking his voice. Some videos with 10Mio+ viewers on his channel!

The politics are probably easier to navigate too, considering that you can make videos about the dead without worrying about lobbyists or PR departments and audience members can't ever fact-check you! I suppose there is always the possibility of getting a fatwa declared against you, but that's nothing compared to the retribution of Canon fanboys when you criticise Canon about, well, anything really. majoraxis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 mr reid just make an app that takes a photo of the stars, do some fancy connect the dots stuff, add some ai texting and bobs your uncle or maybe you aunt these days. btm_pix could probably whip something up in an hour. although if it takes off i'll want a percentage of the profits.

PannySVHS Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 After Andrews awesome interview and beautiful parade of GH series EOSHD film vignettes in his latest masterpiece blog post, I feel even more bummed about Steve Huffs 10 years old ghost youtube channel.

webrunner5 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I may be wrong, but I know I read a few months ago that to have Phase Detect in a camera you have to pay Sony a royalty for every camera you sell, and probably a huge upfront fee to even start.

Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Never had heard about that Steve's ghostbuster channel. Now that he makes hifi review videos, I'm dying (oops) to see his testing a XLR interface with phantom power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I have to wonder if he's made a cameo in the latest ghostbusters maybe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Anyone know where I can get one of those disco light speakers that communes with the other side in slow motion? Asking for a friend. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzynormal Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 The paranormal thing is amusing to me. A decade back or so in my hometown there was a rapper/filmmaker that would go around to different regional neighborhoods and make docs about places that were "haunted". Some rural and some urban. Didn't matter. He'd just make these haunted films. All were horribly crafted. In the middle of it all one of his co-producers approached me for advice. They wanted to make the films technically better. After explaining what they'd have to spend in time and money to do that, they (rightfully) said, "The hell with that" and kept making the films their way. He'd then hype the hell out of whatever film he had just made. He's instinctually good and marketing --and there's always and endless supply of people desperate to believe in the afterlife. Thousands upon thousands of of people would go to his screenings. He'd sell out 1,700 seat old-school movie houses. They'd buy his DVD's and his other merch. He did this year end and year out, eventually parlaying the shtick into a producing gig with a major studio. The dude was ahead of his time, but maybe the time eventually just came around to him? Or maybe our culture is what it is. Worked for Barnum too. Don't know...whatever hustle mojo the rapper guy made work for him is remarkable. God bless him, he made a career out of it! All that's just to say that American filmmaking is ultimately a commercial endeavor, quality be damned -- even though some art does comes out of it occasionally. Eh. I'm rambling.

webrunner5 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Well religion fits into that category at times. Plus it sort of keeps the average person in order also. Sort of a hmm moment when you really think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
