Griffin didn’t buy the Insta360 Link 4K Webcam because it has a gimbal. But it turns out, auto-tracking movement is its most useful feature. Even better, the image quality outperforms the similarly priced 4K Opal C1 ($300), which is marketed as “The ... more

Griffin calls it a “Robo Camera.” It’s the Feelworld NDI20X, and it’s $6,244 cheaper than the pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera used at his former job (Panasonic AW-UE100). Nick helps Griffin set up his network to remote control this 1080p camera over ether... more

United States7 years ago - Lots of Information
Started from the beginning and gaining so much valuble information! Thanks Griffin and Nick for doing what you do!
Apple Podcasts5JGar/United States7 years ago - Disappointed
Sampled an episode and was disappointed to be honest. The hosts started off discussing the upcoming Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, plus a new Vimeo app for MacOS. Unfortunately, neither of them seemed to know much about either topic ... certainly less than one could glean from marketing material.
I struggled on for a while, waiting for startling expertise or insights on any subject, but eventually got annoyed.

Apple Podcasts5iamalfr3dUnited States8 years ago - Best Indie film making podcast
Nick and Griffin are doing a great job in sharing their experience and answering questions. You'll get a good sense of what it means to be a filmmaker if you follow this weekly podcast but high chances are Griffin will make you feel jealous about talking about his new gears :)
Apple Podcasts5ThulsZUnited States8 years ago - Talent and Insight
Original and Insightfully sardonic at times, almost like a mini warblers scatting riffs of experience, techniques, and misadventure - “Orange Man” and “Yellow Guy” (a call back to their White Balance video) have a relationship of friendship and make the listener feel like he’s meeting with equals rather than instructors. A plutocracy of profound producers sitting ‘round and having a dialogue with their listeners about matters of practicality as opposed to those bombastic pontifications and promu... more
Apple Podcasts5The Faustian ManUnited States8 years ago - Fantastic info and very relaxed format...

Enjoyable from the insightful information through to the comical two way banter. Bravo.
Apple Podcasts5robbyboyoUnited Kingdom8 years ago - Very Useful Information
Hammond and Bodmer go out of their way to be helpful during each second of their podcast. Every film tip or (startup) business advice is told with personal experience, honesty and a genuine passion to create. If you're an indie filmmaker, you HAVE to listen to this podcast.
