Where did Mattias Burling go? Youtube channel is gone.

Anyone know where he went? It would seem his "Gear Doesn't Matter" doesn't exist anymore.

That's really unfortunate. His Vimeo is still up, and his Instagram too, though they haven't been updated recently. His content output decreased a lot once Gunpowder passed, but he had already been less active as I think he became more and more disillusioned with the entire YouTube/Filmmaking/Photography scene.

I hope he is well and creating the art that he loves.

Miss him. He also randomly deleted or privated a bunch of his older videos; I noticed this happen maybe 2-3 yrs ago. Tons of old Blackmagic videos, his awesome Canon XC10/XC15 review, etc etc.

I miss Gunpowder!

 

Burling's YouTube channel went down a few days ago, and the only thing that remains is the title, "ICE was here."  It's a shame, because he created some exceptionally informative videos.

 

Some of the transcripts from his videos are archived here.

Really sad if he has indeed given up on YouTube.

He's still on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mattiasburling

Maybe we should ask him if he's alright?

I've seen this before, but usually it's with channels (especially old ones) that have been hit with copyright strikes and such. Mattias's channel take down seems to be voluntary and perhaps political.

I simply don't have the hard disk space to save all the videos I really enjoy, but it makes me really sad to say goodbye. It feels like it's the digital equivalent of burning books and erasing history. Personally, I don't think I could do that. Then again, we don't know the exact circumstances. @Mattias Burling, care to respond?
