I’m starting to think that GxAce is actually an embodied avatar of Gear Acquisition Syndrome because I want to buy new gear every time a video comes out
They call it GAS in the guitar world
@@ophhate THAY DO. Happy Guitar Day GAS
Ever since he did a video on the Fuji x100v I’ve wanted one
ikr lol
@@ophhate Yessir, thats what I was gonna say

When this video released, it randomly showed up in my recommendations. I fell into a deep film photography rabbit hole, and now, 8 months later, i‘m the proud owner of two film cameras and I also just got my first Leica. Thank you, Gx. Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful world of film photography.
Still married?😅
@@Stan_the_Belgian :D
And now you are pregnant 😂
That photo at 7:34 is just incredible. So well framed with all the reflections.
It's not.
@@trolojolo6178 Dude ya that picture is sick actually.
Looks like a shot straight out of some 80s/90s cyberpunk yakuza movie. Then again, nearly all the shots in this video look like those out of a movie.
This video encapsulates why I prefer film cameras so much. Photos/movie shot with film always have this ever so slight grainy "dream-like" feel
@@PootisDaLoopis You can emulate it with presets nowadays tho.
@@trolojolo6178 it is, sorry little crap head
I'm a blacksmith/machinist/welder, and have been for a long time. I've also been a wannabe photographer for every bit as long, but I always funnel all my resources into the metal. Your videos (this one Especially) and photography give me the same chills and almost teary eyed inspiration that an extremely fine crafted tool does.
This is going to be a problem, but in the greatest of ways.
Thank you.
I come back to this video every 2 days or so and just rewatch the photo montage segment, it is both calming and inspiring
Because I can’t afford an X Pan anymore I have been haunted by this production because I love 65:24…. so after watching this a long time ago eventually I bought a GFX 50R. Ironically this bigger is slowly creeping up in price as well but will never I think be like the XPan! What a camera! What a production!
For anyone wondering the Music used is:
Primordial by Melodysheep
Relax by Yuppycult
Smoke Rings by Tim Mann
Retour by Tony Anderson
It's always surreal getting engrossed in a really good YT video and then suddenly i hear my brother's music. perfectly used here, especially with the synced cuts in the images

The ability to shoot 65:24 on the GFX cameras is a big reason why I want to pick up a used GFX 50r or GFX 50s II at some stage
Absolutely! Its a really cool experience on those cameras! Thanks for watching, Cian!
If GFX sensor "cut in halph horizontally (to place in two cameras)" this will perfectly match Xpan proportions. This is what Fuji should do for TX-3 in my opinion. Crop on post is not interesting, I'd do not accept this personally. Untill TX-3 do not exist, I'd buy TX-1/2 but not GFX.
I actually do have TX-1 - the best camera for me.
I just picked up a GFX 50Sii partially for this reason. The new kit zoom is wonderful and is a 28mm ff equivalent on the widest end which I find the perfect focal length, equal to the XPan.
Also, the GFX has quickly become my favorite camera to adapt older film lenses to. I’ve been using Leica M and Pentax 67 lenses on it and I love the results.
Sales pitch over.
Have a 50r. I've found that shooting the 65x24 aspect ratio is an enjoyable phase but have challenged myself this year to only shoot the native 4x3 aspect and try to fill up the entire sensor with interest. Only a slight crop in post if required but in the 4x3 aspect.
Shooting mainly landscapes it's harder than it looks! and really pushes you to decide what to include in the frame.
When you capture a good image you know it!
Will never sell my 50r. Its coming to the grave with me. lol..
@@nowisthetime6093 Cool! Just out of interest, how easy is it to handhold the 50r in terms of getting non-blurry pics?
Why do i get goosebumbs watching this video! My man you made something special, you are something special! The overall presentation i think i care less about the technology but rather the Thoughts, Emotions and Memories you bring with this. Everything just blends in perfectly, Phenomenal! Please never stop to amaze people with your work and existence! Its rare people like you that keeps a lot of us alive and thriving! Thank you 🙏👍
It's because it's Cyberpunk vibes that's why you get goosebumps. Anything Cyberpunk will give you goosebumps
Picture are amazing you can imagine how many story's can come out of them
Hi Gx! I moved from sound engineering (over 15 years) and went doing photos now. Well, I must tell you mate, your sound is huge. Absolutely love the way its done.
If you want to be a good little corpo-consumer acolyte, head over to GxAce.com/shop and pick up some Lightroom Presets If you feel like supporting my future neural enhancements, this is a great way to do so! Also, check out patreon.com/gxace for exclusive behind the scenes content!
Just got one. Haven't even watched this video yet BUT I already know it's going to be a banger. I will also be joining the Collector group soon on the Underground Discord, looking forward to it Cyberpunk brotha
I am shooting on a full frame EOS R5 and would love to get this look, which focal length would you recommend to get this look? I am divinity going to pick up a preset pack, the Blade Runner styling looks incredible.
Was recommended your channel and just picked up one of your Lightroom preset packs and they’re great, will have to pick up the others. Great work
Dude it's been crazy watching your channel blow up over the past few months! Keep it up!

I’ve followed your channel for while but just recently started to really binge-watch your latest videos. I’m not even interested in the gear you review, but your content delivery style, close attention to detail, sound design and overall filmmaking skills are out of this world! You, my friend, are one of a kind!
Finally a collab with david! You both such thoughtful approaches cameras and making photos
Dave is an awesome dude! We filmed this footage 3 years ago ahah
This might be the coolest photography video on YT 🤙
Thanks so much, Thomas! Also, congrats on your new XPAN! What a coincidence haha.
Thank you for the inspiration! After watching this marvelous video, I've shot my next concert only with Canon FD 2/24mm, which has been laying on my shelf for past two years or so and then I did cropping to 2.35:1. The result was beyond my expectations. I didn't like this lens so much in the past, but when I used it differently and with cropping the pictures afterwards in mind, it completely changed the look of the resulting photos and I'm really satisfied. Thank you!
Oh yes, and the sound of your video. Mmmmmmmmuck!
Interesting testimony ! Hello what is the meaning of the 2/ before 24mm when you speak of the Canon lens ?
Thanks 🌟
@@Purplefoxdl it's the aperture number, eg. f2
Dude... your love for film and it's aesthetics is getting through!!! Nice cinematic shots in photo and film. And the love for your camera is really inspiring too. I have that same feeling when i take my camera in my hands and i think that is a big Inspiration and motivation to shot!! Cheers for that clip bro!
These are by far some of the best produced videos I have seen on this platform in a very long time. I feel like I'm watching a movie. The animation, the audio and the cinematic feel is just amazing. I aspire to produce content this good. Can't wait for more!
Wow. By a huge margin one of the best made youtube videos i have ever seen!!
As a Chinese from Ningbo, I can recognize where a lot of those photos were taken, which is pretty cool, and the images do look really good!
How the heck can you be a master cinematographer using his resources and skill on some truly epic YT content, huh?! It’s amazing! You’re amazing! Hot damnint I’m grateful for your videos.
for God's sake ho could you pull this much of production quality ??????😭😭😍
Thanks ;)
Wow. This was increadible. From the photos to the video to the music.
best of your work that i saw up to now, xpan-china-colors-framing was a delight to watch
This video is the singular reason I wanted to jump head first into film. While I may not be able to snag one of these atm, one day I hope too ❤️
These photos are a dream. This goes without saying whoever the photographer was is what really makes these photos so great though. Composition, color grading. Just beautiful
This video is so well made, he does an amazing job of bringing the story instead of telling
I have a 3440 x 1440 monitor and I thank you for this experience, it gave me gossebumps.
good lord, this video is beautiful. everything about it, the sets, the framing, the music,,,, oooh it's so good
oh my god, the amount of production in this video is beyond fathomable
Before I made a comment I wanted to check and see if anyone else had mentioned that the Lumix S5 has the 65:24 crop as an option. It's a full frame camera the size of a Fuji X-T3. I recently rented a GFX 50R and loved being able to shoot with the crop, but it's just too damn bulky to walk around streetwise. But the Lumix S5 might be a nice substitute and less bulk. Plus the L-mount lenses and the video capabilities are very good bonuses.
are this dudes videos always this incredible wtf
I like to think so ;)
The background sound make lot of sens of the quality of your productions. this edit make me feel the real quality of this old camera. Good and True Production.
this camera is every retro-futurist's wet dream, mine included.
This video just got recommended to me, instant subscribe, the video quality is outstanding !
The music and feeling is so DUNE😇
It's so dramatic.
Yet, I can't stop watching it.
looks like from a movie?? damnn THIS IS BETTER THAN ANY MOVIE
BRO YOU DONT NEED THIS CAMERA THIS VIDEO IS A FREAKING MOVIE ALREADY. THIS IS THE HIGHEST PRODUCTION VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN ON RUclips!
I discovered now this channel and this concept is blowing my mind.
this actually made me giggle a little. the serious tone just comes off funny bahhah
You kiddin me? What the actual fuck is this channel? Instant subscribe. This is just pure art.
I aim to be at least 10% as talented as you are, an ABSOLUTE GENIUS!
Finding a video that covers the full 21:9 screen is amazing!
I hate when people put the fake black bars instead of letting youtube do it with its player on non 21:9 screens.
Nice to see several pictures of my hometown, Ningbo, good job
你是宁波人吗？牛逼
@@GxAce 是啊
How am i not subscribed to this channel? Man's a Beast!
the production is incredible
The production quality here is incredible, both video and audio.
4:53 If every ad on youtube was like that one I would never skip them again
I absolutly love your commitment to the bladerunner aesthetic. Just really really impressive work.
Holy crap production level is Crazy had to confirm subscriber count.
the wide view is amazing
That was the first patreon plug I’ve ever not skipped.
To all who end up here by the algorithm choosing like me: this dude needs more publicity. Share, like and support. Such content is so unique.
This video is such a vibe! Why didn’t I discover your Chanel earlier❤
Your epic body shots with all the tech covering your face kinda reminds me of Rache Bartmoss from Cyberpunk 2079 lol. Like some hightech Hacker/Netrunner from a dystopian future.
But oh my! This camera truly is one of it's kind! Good video as always :)
excuse my language but these videos are fucking awesome holy shit such breath taking work you can really tell that he puts alot of tlc into these videos
bruh the effort on this video..... SUBSCRIBED
Never in my youtube experience I've seen a video like this. A cinematic experience of a review. I found myself in a kind of spellbounding state learning about the machine and amazed byt the cinematography. You just won a subscriber.
2:38 did not expect to see David Imel on this channel, nice!
this is 🔥🔥
I love this camera and the cinematic feeling that gives you. Sadly for me, I can found it or get it here in Chile. And buy it abroad it can make it even expensive; dude, I don't have money like rich level.
Anyway, the efforts put in the production of this video is chef kiss.
I congratulate you very much GxAce, you did a splendid work! 😊
What a compelling intro! Fantastic Job!!
I thought this was a short movie about a camera from an alternate universe 😮
Amazing production quality!
Another excellent video. From watching landscape photography videos made by people who shoot with the GFX100 I added a 65:24 crop in Photoshop. Thanks for creating/sharing.
its giving Blade runner and Dune bgm vibe😱🤩... This sound design is awesome|||||||||
this so goddamn beautiful, every wong kar wai kinda guy must have this
These are always the most intense cinematic reviews I've seen in my life hahahaha
chills.
That was a well deserved thumbs up for this video.
next level production, great work!
damm this is an awesomer video. i love the retro cyberpunk feel of every image
THIS VIDEO IS 🔥🔥🔥
My god 🙌 . Truly amazing content. What a ride and experience you have delivered. Thank you for sharing and for this awesome content. Love to see more of this. You have got me as a subscriber and a buyer for your presets 👊
I feel bad watching this masterpiece for free..
Amazing video!!! It felt like a dam movie watch this video!
I was just looking for a camera like this 😍. Can't afford it but still!
Watching in 4K using my Xperia 1 ii !
Love the Neuromancer reference
Nice to see such beautifully alluring shots of China! If you ever get the chance, I’d recommend visiting Shantou and some of the older sites and villages in Guangzhou; the two both have really cool places that provide some rather interesting concepts to play around with in cinematography (- although of course there are a bunch of other places that also provide intriguing concepts too e.g Shanghai, Hunan etc.)
Love the videos- Keep up the great work! :D
WHERE do you find music like this?? Sound production quality is insane. Amazing watch
I think the music is from one of Melodysheeps videos
Amazing edition and art direction. Well done!
Blade Runner vibes is giving me goosebumps.
What an amazing video!
insane video aesthetics!!!
The modern equivalent is shooting with a Lumix s5iiX and an anamorphic lens which they are compatible with.
first minute of the video got my sub\
this video is amazing
3:51 I know this type of titles are coming from a lot earlier but i reminds me the Mr. Robot.
what a great video, just subscribed!
SO COOL
thanks for the inspiration. You inspired me to produce better content with nicer images and better storytelling
what an amazing intro wow
Waaaaait a minute, isn't this music from melodysheep and his space vids? Is he cool with people using his music?
I think it fits fantastically well here, just checking
Nice video but the shots where it cuts to you with the headset on just seem out of place and kind of cringe. Sound design, script, and editing is absolutely phenomenal
I just watched one video about Red cameras and got you recommended 🗿
Oh, hey David
Edit: oh, hey Caleb
the slow framerate when panning over the camera is really killing my eyes
4:51 - Man I'd really love to know how you accomplished this. At first I thought it's VFX, but it looks like you used a real device for that.
Did you explain/show this in any of your videos yet?
i have xt4 wow amazing
