@GxAce just curious what you ultimately hope people experience with your content? To buy a camera or lens? To enjoy your story? To compare you to other tech reviewers?
Me, I enjoy your perspective and would love to see your approach to a short film about something deep and meaningful to you.
You should just send this to the Iceland Tourism Bureau.
This is a hell of a sizzle reel of their country’s natural beauty.
"a relaxing vacation"
*continues to make the most epic & dramatic video about a camera on youtube*
This is insane! The sound design and music on this one is INSANE! Jaw dropping shots man, and some of them made me feel like i was in Death Stranding. What a masterpiece.
Thanks so much man! I wasn’t sure if people were gonna like this more ponderous style video so I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@GxAce Have no fear on that count - masterpiece is the right word. I've been to Iceland, but I felt like I was back and seeing it through new eyes!
@@GxAce Who does your sound design!? It's sooooooo good!
@pwnisher it’s just me over here haha. Thanks so much dude.
yeah, a very good remark!
I subscribed to GxAce when he was at 14k subs, in maybe 2-3 weeks he was at 50k subs and I knew he would become a RUclips legend within the filmmaking community and now at 221k subs, I think that there truly will never be a more immersive experience on RUclips than there is within a GxAce Video. A singular 8-minute video is more immersive than most movies I have seen in the cinema recently.
I subscribed before he even created his channel.
I found him at 5k. This guy is doing something special here on RUclips. Nothing like it. Unique. Excellent execution.
@@Leicam10Are you talking about the 7Artisans 28mm f1.4 video? I started watching a couple videos after that but I do remember that one, I love his old videos you are right
@@Leicam10you should unsubscribe.
@@lackoliver55I subscribed before there was RUclips 💪😉
This is like nothing else on RUclips. Love it.
There is nothing else.....but GxAce
We need a new category for the Oscars for best RUclips cinematography so GxAce would get the global recognition he deserves for this absolute masterpiece of a video.
He'd be up against "Melodysheep" IMO but I certainly welcome it
I’m convinced GxAce has a spaceship because these visuals are simply out of this world
All about the colors 👏🏼
Can't believe these productions are 'just for a photo camera' this is totally insane.
Wow, thats wow
Le me just speechless after watching. Your videos are so incredible. I hope no one watches them on tiny smartphone screens. They must viewed on large screens with a good hifi. Just love your work, thank you! 💙
I agree, this must be listened to on a real hi-fi system.
this.. I've just watched it on a 21:9 5k 34" Monitor, breathtaking.
My guy casually makes a cinematic masterpiece every time he releases a video
The beauty of your work combined with the ambiance makes me physically emotional (in a good way) every time, I am in awe of your creative talent!
I think you've really outdone yourself with this one, it is wholly unique and insanely captivating.
It may be goofy, but it's what I refer to as "main monitor content" (kind of hate the word content, but it's the best term atm), a lot of youtube I can just throw on my secondary monitor and keep browsing the internet, but never with your videos. Every time I see a new upload - that's an immediate full screen, headphones on, full attention required experience.
The visuals are insanely striking, the photos are amazing as always, and the sound design in this one especially is off the charts. Good work.
I fully agree. I do the same thing. I think this type of compliment is one of the highest you can give to someone right now, especially since our attention spans are a little short on youtube. The first time I watched one of these videos I was immediately drawn in 100%
Props for bringing the dystopian gear with you to Iceland. And carrying the head piece from the car park to the dunes in Stokksnes. The landscape there is very complimentary to your style. Great video as always.
It takes legends to properly use legendary gear. Thanks for inspiring me to become 1/10th of what you have accomplished with your work. The sound combined with the video is just perfect.
Holy Jesus what a production!! How can someone say so much about a camera without opening the mouth. You’re awesome. God dangit i still have the chills. Master piece only you could come up with. I couldn’t ask for anything better to end my Sunday. 🙌
Stranding + Deakin. Masterclass.
Inspirational. The Iceland landscape and drone shots are to die for, BRAVO👏 😍
i was wondering where this was with chinese signs and drone footage 😅
@@johngonzales7130 no problem! Watch his other videos and the vibe makes a lot more sense. He spends a lot of time in China.
This is video is epic. Period. Amazing photography and cinematography and to that a stellar soundtrack and sound design! Hat’s off.
Breathtaking!
You deserve a bigger platform.
Thank you so much my friend :)
This is a showcase of the camera's work without much other than needed context. I love it. I want more of this.
I know Death Stranding is supposed to be in America, but Death Stranding is just straight up Iceland. Absolutely incredible scenery and drone shots!
Hahaha. Not pictured just off screen is an exceptionally large stack of things I was just carrying
@@GxAce😂
So far, your best one.
Man oh man... what a masterpiece... the video shots, drone shots, the stills... and then the music... when people talk about "cinematic", this is the kind of stuff i think about! ❤🙌🏾❤
I am obsessed with your style. You make the world look abondonded but so alive at the same time. I love the dark and detailed landscapes you capture. The fog and mist in this video were so ethereal. I aspire to be on the level you are with photography! Keep crushing it man.
There is NOT A WORD FOR THIS MASTERPIECE OF A VIDEO. THIS IS BEYOND ART. 😭
Jaw dropping, unbelievable that this is our world we live in. Somehow it can become an entirely different world when we can see your vision.
This felt like a true cinematic experience!!!!!
But then again, ALL your videos (actually films) are cinematic experiences!!!!!
I would love to see what you can do with old digicams, now that they're getting trendy again!!
Sometimes I couldn't tell if I'm looking at a video clip or a photo. You matched editing of the photos with colour grading of the footage so well! This is your best work so far. Bravo.
Epic! I appreciate that you did it without a voiceover. 🖤
That’s the visual narrative in its purest form. Simply joy for the eyes❤
This is simply the best landscape vid and photos ive ever seen. Ever. Masterpiece. Im watching this GRAND for the 3rd time. Fabulous. Thank you for sharing this to me, to us.
I only wish it was longer. I could watch these for hours. You're the only channel I make sure to wear both my ear buds and wait until I know I'll have uninturpted time to watch. It's a masterpiece to both watch and listen to.
Always love your selection of music!
Yeah, the music is great! Could someone tell me how does it names this kind of music genre?
@@PakkMan86 It's ambient music. There are lots of subgenres for ambient music and this sounds like some kind of dark ambient or something.
@@Karnaerkki thank you for your reply.
My favorite video I've watched on youtube in the last few months. Just beautiful.
The sound design is so amazing. In the past videos I was always focusing on the video and the color grading. This video I really noticed the sound and how immersive it is.
Dude... these shots bring back so many memories. What a strange sight to see Grindavik in the background in its pre eruption state in that drone shot around Mt. Thorbjörn. I took an old path from the 2021 eruption to see last year's one which was some km's further away. On the way back I used the antennas on the hill to gauge where I was at in the landscape. Walking back from the eruption at dawn through a valley flanked by extinct volcanoes and NO ONE within at least a 5km radius. Total quiet and the landscape. This comes close to what that felt like.
I’ve watched all the videos on this channel, and this might just be my favorite of them all. Everything comes together just right. And the sound design just elevates this to a whole different level!
Wow, this is unreal. Insanely good, these pictures, these sounds… I’m blown away, a real masterpiece
The photography in this video may as well been on a different planet. Thank you for taking me there.
Thanks for getting me into photography I think about two years ago I stumbled across your x100V video and ended up buying a used x100f anyway around that time I was fighting some mental battles and was In and out of hospital on Suici*d watch. that camera allowed me to express my emotions without having to talk to somebody but here I am today still alive & kicking. Thanks gxace
Its a video master piece - blown away by this extraordinary footage. Wow !
consistent, high quality and original content. props for not blending in with the rest
the most ridiculously high production value "here's some cool photos I shot on holiday" video I've ever seen, hats off
Gx flexing photography, cinematography and sound-scape all in one video, someone give this man a raise!
This video evocs an emotion that I havent felt for a long time.
Your best video yet! A million people have gone to Iceland before you, but none have delivered such a cinematic masterpiece.
Your video is the best, but I think your talent for choosing music that fits the video is also the best. It was a very impressive piece.
Love to see you covering my favourite camera. Amazing work as always, Casey!
There's only one youtube creator whose every single video leaves me speechless. If you're reading this comment, you have found him.
Pure artistry all the way through
stunning visuals as always
This is exceptional! 😳
the throwback soundtrack of the xpan video intro
Mesmerising! Those scenes are worthy to be in a movie.
Even more imressive than the visuals is the audio. Masterpiece. Period.
Incredible visual at consistent intervals, 👏 also bravo for the great audio.
THIS IS CINEMA 🙌🏼
This whole video is Master Piece! The shots, drone shots, scenery, weather, the TX-1 Colors, the color grading, sound design and overall music! This whole video is one of the best I've ever seen to this day. bravo sir!
These videos put me in a meditative state
I live in Höfn í hornafirði, next to Vestrahorn. Quite a few pictures are from here. I love the way your eyes see. Say hi next time!
So cool! Will do!
The G7 was my first camera. I love the ergonomics and buttons the most. Its feels nice in your hand
Producing bangers since day one but this one sets a new bar, be proud of yourself!
I'm never relaxed watching your videos. Which of course means they work perfectly as intended. Incredible!
You may be the greatest and yet most underrated youtuber of all time
Can you try some cheap lenses from ttartisan and 7artisan i would liketo see your revievs abouth them
GxAce is the one robot I would love to see direct a feature film.
GXAce is the real reason I got an Apple Vision Pro. Glorious.
this isn't a video
this is an experience
your filmography just keeps getting better and better
and damn, that grading is just.. incredible
HOT DAMN - the landscapes.
I FINALLY FOUND THE TRACK. For anyone else wondering for the song after 5 mins. Luke Atencio - Erosion. I've been on a search for the ambient sound. thank you for doing what you do. Wonderful music selection as always!
The shot at 5:30 made me tear up with how beautiful it is
I just have one word, Wow 😮
I am lost for words to describe how amazing this was. You have outdone yourself. WOW!
What a talented man. Breathtaking
Your videos are pure ART. I usually don't give a f..k to the products you review I just tune in and immerse in your perfectly credible future world. Amazing work. Best channel on RUclips ever.
Well that was astonishing, even by your standards. Wow. What a trip in a few different ways.
Absolutely breathtaking
Everytime you ulpoad a video i get SUPER SUPER EXCITED! you turn RUclips into the world of Blade Runner 2049. The sound effects, colour grading, shots everything!
the last photo is surreal. omg
I love your videos. Stunning atmosphere in this one (as always).
One man and a camera, incredible 😲 You're an inspiration to us all GxAce
Your videos are the only videos I fully sit down and watch, immersing myself into whatever you make. Amazing work man!
Not even Prometheus looked this good fr 🔥🔥
2:17 this is one of the most incredible drone sequence I’ve seen
Uncomfortable truth - the drone footage is so much more compelling than most of the xpan shots. I have a tx2 and have been to Iceland with it and the landscapes really support the format, I’m just not sure this vid makes any argument for the insane cost and struggle that film photos are today, vs the majesty of the aerials. Beautiful work as always and the sound design is unreal. Thank you so much !
He did it again, creating a masterpiece that most 100+ mil buget films can't do
some of your best imagery. the TX-1 is a legend. this whole film is incredible.
Absolutely breathtaking shots.
One of my top three creators of all time with one of my top three cameras of all time. Freaking HYPED to see some of the adventures from this trip with the one and only Rask! 💪 Some INCREDIBLE images Casey, absolutely awe inspiring. Thank you 🙏
Jesus christ, GxAce... speechless.
Man that was so cinematic. I thought I was watching some prequel to Blade Runner or something. Amazing work.
At this point nobody cares even if you make a video about a disposable camera we know it's going to be legendary! Amazing and so inspiring as always!
We are going to Iceland this year, for the first and probably last time in our lives.
Seeing videos like this makes me super excited, but also super anxious as i believe i lack the skill / vision to take such images.
genuinely the best creator on social media
Commenting to give the sound design some love.
Every upload surpasses the last. By and large you are my favorite cyberpunk creator.
Wow I'm speechless. Only GXace can deliver a widescreen dystopic future like this 🔥Creative Genius
Just insane... stunning every time. Best cinematics on youtube.
Every shot here could be straight out of a starwars movie, lovin it. Your so inspiring to me. Keep it going!
