uh welcome to tri-flick's cast we are professional videographers and photographers talking about the latest techniques big business practices and Tech uh with a little bit of fun sprinkled you waited like a couple months for that intro I did I was actually really pumped about it not gonna lie so uh but you're probably wondering you know if you haven't been listening like who is this guy well my name is Cole and I am the producer here at triflix to my right the director and your name Tristan thank you wow and then my buddy over here to the left yeah I'm buddy uh also named David I do a lot of stuff around here efficiency office managing I.T friend if that's the best friend that's the order no I couldn't promote it was waiting on it witnessed it best friend and together uh we run triflix a digital media company based out of Columbus Indiana and this is our podcast yes we're pumped to be here um this is season four and it's a this is a big one for us I I can feel it in my bones if you if you if you've been listening I'm sorry if you haven't been welcome to the new and improved hopefully we will not have to apologize after the end of this run are you okay over there buddy does it still taste weird it's getting bubbly it's getting worse

coming on and starting recording here um we cleaned all of our drinking utensils graciously provided by uh coffeehouse five in Franklin and Greenwood thank you we love there's nothing wrong with them specifically to be clear oh yeah great mugs and husky uh containers what they come in different sizes that's a husky cup that is one of the larger sizes yes um it has made it completely out of coffee husks so they are sustainable yeah but we'll get into that but the the big thing here is the fact that we cleaned them and the soap the soap residue was still left behind due to not you know insufficient rinsing yeah that guy yeah so Tristan's drinking soapy water that tastes like blueberries I don't know it's blue tastes like blue nobody told me that this is snozberries tastes like snozzberries what a customer give it a got more so

uh anyways uh yeah this is stop drinking it this is gonna be a lot so um we're just gonna jump right into this stuff and then we'll talk more about the season one of the things we like to do is we like to start every episode with a news story um we find kind of odd funny stupid weird news stories and we talk about them every week so um I like to throw out a little title and see what the guys think it could be about um this today we're going to talk about this sleepy chicken uh challenge I almost said sleepy chicken salad the Sleepy chicken challenge that's a hint do you think you can guess what this is

you put it your chicken's head dig into the ground and you draw a line in front of it and it's paralyzed for like a little bit what that's a real thing I've never heard of this it's not even close but I've never heard of this no it's like a real thing like if you take the chicken and you put it's like beak towards the ground so that it has to look forward and you draw a line from the tip of its beak away from it it just stands there and doesn't know what to do it's kind of like drawing a circle around ants and they won't go past the the circle do we know why no idea I just saw it online I saw it on Tick Tock I was on BuzzFeed you know how to paralyze your chicken in 30 seconds interesting that sounds like torture and like it'll go back to normal yeah like after a couple minutes gets bored eventually it's like wait a second that alignment yeah it's a really nice slide I was just admiring oh my gosh I've never seen anything like this before so it's not that but go ahead sleepy chicken challenge um is it where you like have to approach a sleeping chicken so this is what people are doing it is a tick tock thing and they're taking a chicken a dead a dead featherless ready to cook chicken you know imagine okay A little the little little wings and legs you know and a big old big old body and they're like a rotisserie chicken like a rotisserie chicken okay so they're taking this uncooked large chicken and they're cooking it in Nyquil oh no no I did hear about this a snow Bueno was it good no like but like what's wrong with it does it taste powder just put you to sleep well yeah that's that's the whole thing uh you're cooking medicine that's not yeah you don't do that yeah but like what I what's the challenge like do you eat it right yeah so it's cold it's cold medication right yeah that's that's um so we eat the whole thing before you fall asleep no so when you're when you boil medicine it can make it much more concentrated and change the properties uh yeah so it's like definitely against so it says even if you don't eat the chicken inhaling the medications Vapors while cooking could cause high levels of the drugs to enter the body and it can also hurt your lungs oh my God so like the FDA is legit like do not do not do this yeah no I I saw this in a chat that I'm in somebody mentioned NyQuil chicken and that like the FDA had to come out and be like please don't don't cook your chicken and NyQuil don't do that please but does it taste good

there's certain things that are like the cinnamon challenge it didn't taste good people just did it because it was hard to do so I was like yeah what's the difficulty because breaking FDA law isn't like oh that's a world challenge what you're getting at is like are we going to get a Prohibition response like are we gonna get underground sleepy chickens like not quite but I mean it could be let's let's go from that angle but like like what's the challenge like because I don't think the FDA is gonna like nothing but like is it like you the cinnamon challenge is it was a challenge because it was hard to do but like eating a chicken that soaked in Nyquil doesn't sound that hard it just sounds like a crackhead right but it says challenge like drinking a whole gallon of milk was a challenge because that's hard to do yeah so what's hard about eating a chicken that's soaked in Nyquil well I think it's the face I mean it's just like uh if you fall asleep while you're eating it I don't know well I bet it's like whoever started it probably it was probably on Tick Tock right it probably had been on time it was probably some cooking channel like it was a legitimate person some influencer did it and like you know like played it up to where they're having a hard time doing it or whatever I bet they didn't even do it but like they just soaked in like purple Kool-Aid right and they were like you should do this yeah yeah it's interesting because there's not a lot of information as to like exactly why they're doing it it's a lot of most of these are about like you know not doing it and why you shouldn't um and like make something up to tell people to not do that thing well it's like licking toilet seats whenever during covid and like eating Thai pods you did it because the challenge was you could die or get really sick it's like I just I don't I don't see the problems to survive the the challenge of this is like I think yeah I literally think it is because like I don't know I mean they've definitely it's condensed NyQuil just a coma medicine at that point relation of a whole different like uh cold medicines that you just take it once which I mean isn't that kind of like uh can you do a pressure cooker isn't that what Sip and syrup is or whatever isn't that just cough herb drink yeah yeah it's it's Sprite and codeine what are you talking about coffee syrup yeah yeah that's perfect

the memes on lean I thought that was like Sprite coding and like yeah Kool-Aid and then I don't know

I drink Mug Root Beer instead now really what was your original lean

oh my gosh lean buddy lean With It Rock with it why don't we just lean on back into this podcast get it oh man that's uh it's your job producer man I feel like if you did in a pressure cooker you won't have to worry about the vapors like oh my gosh yeah until you go to release the pressure and it literally blows it into your face Take It Outside I'm just I'm just saying like I just can't start taking it outside I just want to know what the check outside wear a mask in 95 now thank you well this is how you do it just want to know what the challenge is it doesn't sound I just don't get why that's the challenge you want to go home and you're gonna try all these different ways to do NyQuil chicken maybe we all need to do it next time we all need to make us some sleepy chicken yeah let's see how long we can podcast until we need some content for this week yeah we need we need some YouTube shorts no that's uh it'll be our uh tip of the week yeah since the old FDA is is against it you know there's nothing in uh making world yeah right yeah the only problem is is you know the IRS already hates us yeah they're your best friends with us now that's they know everything about trying this is true yeah I just made a video on how to avoid a bad audit you weren't a part of that one though I was not a part of that one and that one's yeah that one's not released yet so yeah it'll come out don't tell them by the time this is out probably I doubt it I doubt it this will be out very soon and we have something else coming up which we could probably talk about that later but we have we have a lot to talk about so one of the things I think uh we'll get started with after the the old sleepy chicken challenge here um is uh yeah we're freaking back and we have a if you if you're watching for those of you listening you won't hear hear much new uh they're recording a gear is about the same but for the people watching this on YouTube we have a new set and uh this is the cash the cash cast yeah we're doing the old casual cast the couch cast there you go okay we're just gonna say names until one stick so like I like that one

yeah yeah there was one I was just like not that one off the list um but this uh Tristan and I are sitting here on a couch and David's sitting in a nice fluffy chair yep we got another fluffy chair over there yeah it's to the left of Tristan yeah to the left of Tristan so we could technically to the right I guess I don't know his left you're right they're facing each other that's why it's over here yeah we got some LED lights and stuff but this one's looking it's looking tasty in here yeah it feels a lot better being here to be honest I agree uh we've worked on our sound deadening so I mean I think that might be noticeable uh we've heard very good feedback about our sound quality so um keeping that alive yeah uh don't say it's worse yeah don't say it's worse because we put a lot of time and effort and money into this place yeah I want all the comments to say it's worse now yeah no hey have you got this far into the podcast um we have a new song as well yes still produced by our favorite person King Flamingo Flamingo our favorite elusive sound stripe I still think it's a real person I think it's you don't think so I think it's a bot oh no don't discredit a human doing there because they won't give us the contact info or any social media he's a dude yesterday that's sound stripe though like soundstripe is a company and you know they've got like they're probably like a subsidiary to a larger company and that's why they're like oh if you want that what was it like five thousand dollars to commission him to make a song yeah what really yeah we asked we literally were like and they were like oh well you can pay XML and then yeah we were like five grand yeah there's like a big issue though with all of those paid licensed musics where they're just stealing music from each other oh yeah like it was a big thing Spotify was in on it too like people would people would steal the license music and go to us uh paid platforms like Spotify and YouTube and then license them out there and oh yeah yeah I I know it's probably not on topic what we're talking about it's not but I saw that where somebody was like making their own music on YouTube or just their YouTube videos and they would steal them sample them make music from those samples and then upload that sampled music to like Spotify and register it like made in like 2005. ah YouTube was like made until like 2008 and so they're like trying to like copyright claim people's videos by stealing audio from their videos and like saying they made that audio the whole system makes me sad yeah I know it's unfortunate music industry stinks that's why we're in video right yeah none of those issues exist no not at all yeah anything about audio no we don't know we don't know anything about it whoa we're not even trying we're talking into the little uh little cell phones right now these aren't even mics yes tiny little cell phones we found these at a good way the kind that you'd sneak into the prisons yeah the old backdoor cell phone yeah okay um anyways yes we're supporting our favorite elusive artist I guess who knows possibly AI artist I don't know an option I believe the songs are great yeah we're gonna keep cycling through hopefully he'll make something new at some point but I'm about it we might have to check some other platforms maybe moved on to something better he could have I also tried to look him up and there's like another band or something called King Flamingo and they make music as well but it's not it's not the same person I can just tell so I don't know but anyway so we got the new song um I mean in general uh we are trying to get more concise about what we're doing and so technically we have a new direction to a certain degree um still going to be us three uh bing bongs here trying to talk through something um but uh you know we're really focused up on uh you know when we have guests on which we're not doing any specific you know this is when we're gonna have them when they come in we shoot them we'll we'll post them um but we uh we want to help support the community and have people on so that they can promote what they're doing and and learn more in general um it's not just about the ad ad or promotion or whatever but it's nice to get somebody on and learn something new and see what they're doing and everybody can help support each other um yeah and then you know as well as we're in we're in the the film industry I mean we're we're helping companies to to make media and so we have what we believe a skill set to help offer some of you listeners some tips and tricks and maybe some other ideas that come along the way uh we're also trying to run a business and grow one too so we are uh not in the formal sense of the word entrepreneurs

wow that's a that's a good Friday night well with the new Direction uh we're gonna start doing some segments we have one today but we're gonna wait till a little later um but we're gonna start doing some segments and we've got some fun one planned um like random bleeps I'm excited to do that one we did we we gave that a shot last season and it went like four minutes long it was we need to set a timer yes so we promise we're gonna dial that one in um what else uh we talked about doing some two uh what is it two truths and a lie type of thing we're gonna see if Tristan tristanis oddly not seen a lot of mainstream movies no not sure what's up with that but we're gonna like read some plot lines or some synopsises yeah and see if he could guess oh no it was the title we're going to talk about the titles and see if he gets what the movie's about okay yeah so that'll be fun um so yeah we've got a lot of fun fun stuff coming up um another uh fun thing that we have is sponsors the most fun the most fun we're actually we're actually really excited about this because um I'm tired of drinking blueberry water I'm tired of drinking that's why we're excited about our sponsors I'm sorry that you can't you don't have any regular water buddy it's in the other room yes it is in the other room you know what I'll go get it it's okay you'll have it on the water that's fine you get you get a water and and we'll we'll we'll do what we're doing here um just ignore that um so yeah with the sponsors um we have two uh organizations almost to the companies they're organizations that are helping us out this season um uh one of those is coffee house five um yes so we're drinking we talked about this we're drinking out of the mugs today um we're gonna do some cool things with them over this season um they are a client of ours as well we've we've made a lot of media for them um it's a super awesome organization so we uh we have an ad wow this is crazy so bear with me I'm gonna read this or this is this is a sponsored ad segment here we want to be as open as Tran and transparent as possible by this sort of stuff with you guys so this is this is our first ad sponsored segment here and I'm I'm gonna can this be like a Bible study where you read the first paragraph and I read the second you want to let's do it I'm fine with that all right okay okay and then I'll ask where we are there you go with translation wait which one okay so coffee house five um with locations in Franklin and Greenwood and soon a third in Bargersville coffee house five is Johnson counties Premier independent coffee shop to relax study or meet friends around great coffee and great food Monday through Saturday whether it's a handcrafted espresso or a single origin pour over you'll enjoy the freshest smoothest coffee possible roasted in-house at their Franklin location using the unique air bed roasting process and don't forget to pair your copy with your copy to pair your coffee with a ham and cheddar scone biscuits and gravy made with their award-winning parmesan chive biscuit fantastic by the way um or any of their other pastries uh and sandwiches prepared in their Franklin kitchen using family recipes and a style they call Midwest comfort food isn't that the best as if as it's not enough though to get your attention coffeehouse 5 is a four benef fit coffeehouse all profits are invested in the building in a stronger Community through their support of local Mental Health Services which you can read more about on their website coffeehouse5.com so next time you're there in Franklin or Greenwood and soon burgersville stop by coffee house five we did it we we did it we are ad readers hopefully they heard it and they liked it we do really like we believe in these guys who really like these guys um it's pretty cool yeah Michelle and Brian are the owners they're awesome people and what they're doing is really cool uh we all we all are about the uh being able to access um help uh you know especially in the community um with their counseling that's a big deal so yeah and they're not paying us to say that we've gone there willingly multiple times yeah we really like the place yes we're just really excited that they are giving us a sponsor because we believe in it and we'll let you know when somebody when we're chilling yeah

I'm an awesome box all right he hit 37. I saw it I saw it in the I shot in there I make sure the man gets paid I'll make sure the man gets so yeah we got a a lady so Daniel is strapping young man yeah so Daniel has been getting some more hours which is awesome and super exciting we had to get Workers Comp oh this is crazy that sounds like fun for you yeah yeah for the for those of you wondering when you have an employee and you're in Indiana and you have to get Workers Comp that's a mandatory thing so we found that out because we have an insurance guy which is awesome which we also got insurance yeah yeah everything in the office is insured now yes it burns down we won't be as sad it's true still be sad but uh just not

anyways before we are bordering insurance fraud here uh whoa whoa you said it I didn't say it don't say the f word oh we just bleeped it man oh we didn't yeah um yeah we also we hired redacted yeah we hired a cat Baylor yes

she came in this morning and there was there's I don't remember what it was she did but we had a shoot today and I I I I brought something over to her and I was gonna give her like a battery or something I was like Catherine she does not like it I felt bad but I don't know it pops in my every once when I want to be formal I'm like oh Catherine ah this is yours yeah uh but no so this was this is our first female to join the group yes and it is it is welcomed yeah it is welcomed I'm just saying it wasn't welcomed yeah I'm just happy to have it yeah another guy another Bing Bong in the office it's it's welcome it is funny it was fun yeah I did not expect that but uh yeah she is a secondary Bing Bong yeah but I dig it yeah it's it's pretty wholesome it's starting to get used to it so a lot of my friends tend to be kind of Bing bongy I realized yeah it's a pattern it's a pattern it's a relief it's from my own self really you're saying why would I be surrounded by people like me that would suck I get that I get that I can only do one of you as well so oh but also cat is going to help us expand um our reach and if you guys if you guys go to any events around here in Columbus you've probably seen her already um she is our proxy now yeah but she's she's bubbly and fun and super personable and and she's she's a great photographer so it was it was the perfect fit and she poked us for about a year yeah kept asking that's hey can I can I can I come help you guys out because my inventing system so if you ever want to work here just know that you're gonna have to message us for six months continuously and then we'll consider you it was almost a year there were I think and you even told me you're like hey we should get back to her and I was like what are we gonna have her do everything we're actually already she's already been here for like a month and we're already talking about like hey we should give her some more I know yeah I forget who I think I might have mentioned this before but somebody told me like if you're uh you get emails from a lot of people what you should do is like if they email you once just ignore it if it's important they'll email you again and so we just ignored her like 50 million that's what I do with my alarms in the morning we have alarms oh

like then it was worse it was worse than not replying I was pretty much gaslighting her well I remember you like mentioned it was like oh yeah like we might have someone and then like I asked like a month later I was like oh yeah I haven't gotten around too like what are you doing I never had a doubt we had enough work for I guess I did the thing with it I did it I did it first bringing in people is like it's not just you having work for them it's also the time to train them to do the work even if you have uh unlimited work it's like I still have to teach you how to do all of it and Daniel's like he interned for like six months before he knew how to do some of the basic stuff which he didn't have prior experience and she has a degree but still it's like she picked it up yeah it's because then if you have someone who's done stuff similar you have to untrain them yes how to do what they were doing before yeah stupid Canon so well and it's true though I mean like we had the conversation today right she was like I'm finally feeling comfortable uh with the Nikon in hand that's awesome because like the lens I mean the lens all the dials they spin in the opposite direction yeah the lens goes on in the opposite direction like it's just the little things of getting used to literally unlearned everything and do the opposite to a certain degree right I mean kind of yeah and two I mean I remember my jump from uh you know a CMOS to a full frame yeah and that was that's that's a learning curve how so uh the biggest thing um what is it I was gonna say those words so what we're talking about and I could not tell you what CMOS stands for do you know no okay so essentially smaller senses yeah so essentially what we're talking about here are two different sensor sizes So when you buy a camera and let's just again let's use the DSLR again I don't know what that stands for

that's just what they call these so so we're talking about like a a larger camera you know not a point and shoot so not something small with a fixed lens we're talking about a detachable lens camera here so when you go to buy one the one of the biggest thing that that changes the price from a lot to a little is the sensor size so one of the entry level ways to do it is to get a CMOS sensor it is a smaller sensor but it's still bigger than anything you'd find in a phone or a point and shoot or you know it's still it's still a next level up right and you can get a decent amount of resolution out of these things uh but that the size difference and the data difference between you know your CMOS and your full frame makes a huge difference in your photos because again the bigger the sensor the more data you get the the more information you have in a picture uh you know color data you know objects Shadow highlight data all that stuff is is huge especially when you're doing it professionally um and not that again not that you can't get get away with it without having a full frame but as you you know tricks of the trade I mean that's exactly why we have a cinema camera oh yeah for video because again we can retain more data and that helps us to be able to get a better image and and you know in our final product yeah um so again I think the biggest thing is is when you when you make the jump to a full frame you're having to remember remember that oh my pictures might be a little less or a little more forgiving because I have more data to play around with with the final image that makes sense yeah yeah because it's not it's don't think of it as a resolution jump that it's like oh now because my camera is you know it's got more megapixels more better yeah which is which is false um it depends it's just like uh you can't just go feature yeah no it's like a feature so it's like just because your TV's 80 inches doesn't mean it's better than a smaller TV because like there's there's a lot of attributes to technology that's like it depends on what you're using it for yeah when I was a kid um my brother and I played this racing game called Gran Turismo yeah yeah we played on PlayStation 2. and I would look at the RPMs of the vehicles and I would find them with the highest RPM okay now what does RPM stand for it's a revolutions per minute usually Times by a thousand and that's how fast the how fast like the engine goes on the inside it rounds and around and that's not the metric if you want to look at for how fast the car goes no it's important to know for other reasons but it's not the single metric you go off of and that's the same with megapixels they're important but they're not the thing that matters I thought that's why the S2000 was so popular it redlined at like 9k it's impressive it is there's like and there's a crazy amount of stuff there's a sound that comes with that and there's a feeling that comes I mean there's things right when you're revving out to 9000 it's pretty awesome yeah look at me

what those sensor sizes there's like um you were talking about uh CMOS and then full frame there's like a lot of them that are available so like a lot of the Blackmagic cameras are usually micro four thirds and maybe within the last couple years right around 2020 they started releasing the full frame so with that usually like you said you're getting more dynamic range and yeah more so more importantly it's like you're getting better low light performance because the larger the sensor it's like a bucket and and light is water and the larger the bucket the the more water it can capture it's like all that that's just more light it can capture too I think that was one of the biggest things I noticed when switching from a smaller sensor to a full frame yeah because I was like wow yeah and the amount of light that you can get yeah and that's I mean that that applies across the board right so I mean it's just like they were talking like let's let's use the new iPhone for example they jumped from 12 megapixels to 48. yeah and it's like yes you can get a larger image and they're doing some some trickery there in the normal yeah in the normal camera app uh but you can shoot it in a full 48 megapixel but you get more light uh the pixels are larger you get more light like that helps in low light photography and the thing with phones is normally we're shooting in subpar light so okay that's why these guys Focus so much on that stuff and with the new iPhone they made the lenses like a little bit bigger too right yes the whole thing because like you need to be able to capture a bit more light for that bigger sensor size I'm just wait till the back of them looks like a leprosy or something like that there's just gonna be sensors and Bubbles and dents all over the back of your microphone that did that where there's like 20 different cameras yes but I literally as someone Photoshopped it the other day I saw an iPhone that had lenses all over the back of it it's gross like I'm glad like I'm happy with the two lenses I have because I I recently upgraded from the three pixel 3A to the 6A and it has two lenses and that's I I've never realized how big of a deal it was until I started shooting videos with your phone yes at like the I think it's like 0.7 or 0.6 and 5.5 honestly I wish my phone had a 0.5 because the 0.7 it's it's way better I just wish I had the one and then the 0.5 I don't I don't really need the zoom lens and all that stuff but it's like just two compact little ones and even on the back of my phone like I like how small it is I like the profile of the bump on the back versus like some phones is like the whole top quarter of the phone is just raised well that's why I don't know if you've ever seen it but like when I get my phone out to take a picture I like put my index and middle finger up out of the way because I'm worried that it's going to get in the way of the camera yeah uh because they're just it's the bump is huge yeah is it um the case with the iPhones is the low light performance better with the wide angle similar to like how it generally would be with other cameras because like your barrel of your lens is what helps like bring light in so the shorter the barrel more light can go in without bouncing around yes so does it matter so essentially so essentially for the main camera right so all these phones have a main sensor and then secondary sensors right they're not all made equally okay yeah so the main sensor is the is the best and that's technically a wide

and I don't remember the the millimeter equivalence of all the lenses um but I think the only one I can remember is maybe the the telephoto which I think it's like equivalent to like a 70. yeah really yeah but that's weird because I usually shoot portraits with a 70 so it's weird that you would use a tell you would use the standard lens for for portraits well hold on a second so like in an iPhone with portraits it defaults to the telephoto ah that makes sense but they just they they did back off like now it defaults to that but you can back it to the regular angle yeah because the problem is when you want to do it you got to stand way back right yeah um but yeah so the main sensor is the one that captures the most light um as opposed to the wide but you essentially have a telephoto what they call the main sensor the wide and then the ultra wide okay yeah so none of them are really kind of like a base focal length of like 35 or 50. yeah and the reason I was saying we I personally like the way the 70 looks for portraits is because like with a GoPros like whatever everybody's familiar with is a wide angle lens everything looks fish eyed like it's bubbly and you won't want to take a portrait with that because everybody like their nose is small and then the side the nose is large and the side of their face like distorts to be really weird but with the 70 it whatever is near and whatever's far starts to look close together um so the the face looks a little more flat the jawline usually looks more chiseled as opposed to like bubbly or like really sharp I don't know it just it's more pleasing and there's like always display disputes whether 50 60 70 90 mil 85 I've heard a lot of people it's like I think 70 looks nice yeah I mean it all depends on so so we'll backtrack Just a Touch we're talking focal lengths yeah um 70 millimeter yeah so essentially that is the the length of your lens your focal length of your lens and this you know a a wide lens has a lower millimeter and a long lens yeah is a higher number so like a telephoto lens that shoots really far can be you know 300 millimeter or it could be more yeah 700 whatever depends on what you're using it for if you're if you're standing in like a 10 by 10 room and you're in a corner facing the room and you're using like a 14 millimeter lens you would see the whole room for the most part now if you're in that same room and you're using like um 70 millimeter you would you would not see very much it would be very closed off and if you're using like a 200 300 millimeter you're looking at like details on the brick yes on the wall across from you like it would just be so closed off so all right and if your camera on your phone has multiple lenses like you can see that in real time like just switching between the lenses how much of the room's visible yeah like if you go into your settings you can uh your phone is essentially fixing the concave a little bit with your Ultra wide on an iPhone because it there's an auto setting to fix that or you can let it be but I I would rather it fix just because again I think I think the wide on the the ultra wide on the iPhone is like equivalent to like a 12 millimeter I did not know it's a wide lens so it starts to make things look real bubbly the phone is made by light the phone I was talking about okay and I think MKBHD did a review on it that's that that's a real this is a real phone no I was making a joke that yeah that's real the iPhone's gonna look like it has leprosy someday and that phone already does it came out like maybe three or four years ago amazing photos but like it used like every single sensor we'll put a link into the description the problem for that I don't know just you can't leave that out in the sun like if you left that out in the sun face down your phone would cook so like again your your sensor's a bucket and the the ones it wants to capture light so it's like if you put that um if you put that face down it'd be like having 10 magnifying glasses on the back of your phone yeah it's just going to cook your battery it's going to cook your your everything about the phone it's just yeah not a you'd have to be very careful with something that's special yeah that's I think the manufacturers are going to keep leaning into computational photography like I don't think it's going to be a lens War I think it's just going to be like again leaning more into yeah how can we can really do unless we invent some new magical sensor yeah because at this point in time this is not one of those things where like it doesn't matter what size it is as long as you get the same megapixel count like the larger the sensor the more data and you cannot fit a normal size sensor in a phone it's just that's that's using like the same sensor and iPhone for like almost like the past like five or six years they did the same with the laptops too yeah and so they just found one that they knew was good and like the benefit is that is like you can continue build up uh all this data and analyze how this one specific sensor reacts in certain conditions and you can use the computational stuff to correct that yeah and so that's why it's taking them a long time to move to something new and that's why it's a big deal yeah and that's why it's our recommendation to wait not buy a 14 if you like the cameras because they got bugs to work out oh yeah they already have they're having a camera Shake problem that that they just updated and fixed it but the stabilization was off on the main camera and it was shaking yes was that like one of the selling points where like you could have an action mode yes you could run with it super stable video yeah yeah it's like oh okay that's why you let these things iron themselves out yeah and it looks like the iPhone 12 anyway so like why that's why I waited three years to buy a new phone hey man the dynamic Island it's going to disappear I don't think it's going to stay around no it's gonna be covered with fingerprints anytime you want to take a selfie it's going to look like trash which I don't take selfies but people that buy Apple phones generally are the same type of people that are going to be using it for social media purposes so it's a younger demographic and that want the latest and greatest every year I'm not saying all about that but I'm just saying I wouldn't say younger I just it's a large demographic I wasn't in school that long ago and if you had an Android you were that was like oh you're poor you report if you had an Android jeez whether or not you actually did it was the same as it was a uh it was a branding thing like it was entirely based on branding it was like a status thing like you had beats yeah that's because they were good you bought beats because everybody thought they were cool yeah that was that's my point though it's like they sound like crap yeah it's a younger demographic man like an apple bottom I know right they kind of fixed them sort of I don't know I think they took all the good stuff and used it for their I stole their pockets not to a certain degree we could go down this Rabbit Hole I don't know if we should yeah we're not an audio people no no and we'll talk uh we'll we'll we've got we talked about talking about like some more Apple stuff in the future episodes so yeah they've got some this is a big year and we're getting ready to roll into October so that's they're gonna have another event coming up soon so that's I can't wait to roast them I know well there's there's there's things that affect our industry big time I mean we all we all use Apple Computers here in the office because we use final cut and apple and Adobe are best friends so therefore their products work better so we use a lot of this stuff it makes a big difference for us and anytime we can save time we can save money I wouldn't want to be best friends of Microsoft they ruined Halo hey did you hear they had um they have multiplayer available in Halo on Console but it was like deep in the actual like code of the game like it was there they just haven't released it as a feature and they were worried it would be buggy and they're like talking about the split screen yeah split screen yeah yeah so I mean to me uh the reason I would buy a console over a PC and like the reason I still prefer console over PC despite not having one anymore is for Co-Op like I want to play split screen with my friends like yeah Margaret Mario Party or um like like any of the racing games or any like the older Call of Duty games it's like yeah it was fun having Lan environments and uh Xbox kind of canned it whenever they started doing like live like you had to be online to even access a game so it'd be like Christmas and in order to play the game you'd have to like download something yeah it's like I bought the game that's the worst dude I just want to play it with my friend sitting right next to me they're like we have to be on the internet yeah I have a brother like all we wanted to do was like what were good split screen games yep do you guys play Army of Two ever no I saw people play that's a good game tell me about it um so I'm trying to think so it's uh the cool thing is is like the split screen is really good and I want to say it's one of those ones where like you can is it true split screeners I think it might be all on like one screen essentially right but you can see both the people because there's you can't it's not open world right a lot of games back then weren't no it was it's big trends yeah you kind of played checkpoints right yeah so you know you kill the guys yeah yes yeah so okay the cool part about this is is it's one of those games where you might have like 10 missions they last a good while but you could beat it in a night right but the cool thing is again you can you get your split screen partner you play you go on and it helps you to beat the missions a little bit easier because you got two people and you know of course you can change difficulty but you can like customize your weapons and stuff but it's like two muscular dudes that you wear masks and they like are in Mexico and they're like killing the cartel or something along the way I think I've heard of this then yeah it was just it was really cool because after you beat it the first time you know you unlocked all the guns and all the different paint schemes and stuff and so like my gun loadout like everything was golden red it was like I had a whole Iron Man Loadout Iron Man and it's like you could pick all the stuff and it never got old never got old like we'd be like Army of Two heck yeah and get on there and just play through that was this uh growing up it was a Need for Speed Hot Pursuit too so a racing game and Battlefront and like those two games that were worked really really well on uh like earlier PlayStation models for split screen and now hear me out I could put on my 10-fold hat I think I think the reason companies don't offer it as much anymore is because of money

what if I make a game and you pay for it and you play it and then you and then you beat it and you're done it's like well I don't make money there for that you have to go online they push all their online stores and stuff but then it's like I want to play with my brother in the same room with like well I don't make any more money if I offered my devs time to produce a split screen mode how about you just buy the same game twice in another console yeah and play in a different room with your brother and it's like oh for sure I don't I've never really actually put the time to think about it but I mean that would make sense on there's no money in it correct and these people clearly didn't have a great childhood otherwise they would be pushing for how awesome it was to just they care about their bottom line dude punch your sibling because they cheated it was the best I'm seriously is when they were starting it was starting to go away it was like come on like we would only buy games that had split screen that's why so like hey Nintendo screen was amazing for all their all their downsides and Nintendo's at least kept Co-op and split screens that's true yeah that's true makes sense wow we totally we went from hiring cat to cameras learning cameras and then the sensors and then somehow landed at iPhones and video games yeah it's all connected welcome to all we're working at Microsoft that's what it was everything influences something Adobe this is true Microsoft this is true all the evil companies I have on my list Lessons Learned and I think we've learned a lot of lessons we've learned uh corporate greed yeah that will never be us yeah no it all starts with insurance no we're an LLC we're not corporate not yet escort once you go public I think you lose your soul I can see that yeah well there's a lot of uh external factors right shareholders that's what I'm saying unless you sell like all the shares like directly to people that only like really care about your business see the thing with it is though like it doesn't matter who's buying it but if um if if the shareholder is just looking for a quick Buck like you said that's kind of the problem is like they're the people who don't believe in it but at the end of the day if as soon as you start bending to shareholders they um your product says has sacrifices and then the sales will decline which is what makes the shareholders leave like the fact that you're not selling as many units because your product has you've decreased the worth of it or the quality of it it's like well if you're a video company and if we work yeah we were a video company that went public okay okay how would those influences change what we make Well we'd have to be profitable for one I mean that's the thing that's a good one right yeah so there's a huge focus on being profitable right yeah and it seems to be growth right yeah constantly reoccurring things that are stagnant in terms of like you don't want to push the envelope because it's the same thing with Hollywood right now is like if I try something new and it flops we lose money yeah so that's where you get into the whole Marvel starting releasing Star Wars constantly uh releasing things that are nostalgic that you know people grew up 20 years with earlier that will take their kids to it to get the cyclical income so it's like for us if we were producing content for you know Internet it's like okay well how do we how do we optimize production yeah for the same three things and then how do we optimize not just the production but how do we optimize making money so it's like all right for this episode of the podcast we're gonna have 20 sponsors and you'll get four minutes of content of us talking about some other product that we liked yeah and it's like wow we optimized the heck out of it and now nobody wants to watch it that's where like the stuff with like corporate businesses like they just really lose me because I feel like there should be a intentional effort towards doing the things that are risky like that because like there's not a point in like having it's all about like the passion right like if you're passionate about something you're willing to try something and like do something even though like it may not be like the Avenue for more money you're not doing something out of passion because you want money out of it like you want to do it because you you like it or you just want to see what will happen well that's what a market is as soon as you lose that that's when I think like the company kind of

I mean I think about Apple and again I'm probably gonna have a bunch of people that are gonna be like I can't believe you'd even say this but yeah it's like you look at where their market cap is and like what their profits are and the things that they do and they're still pushing for growth all they care about is growth they just want number go up yeah and it's like at some point you got enough money when is it enough and then you just run out of people to sell to well then you then you offer service so they ran out of products because the iPhone tablet and laptop and now they're like well now we have to offer service which I mean yeah this started with iTunes but now they're offering the family media video games TV yeah it's like apple arcade Apple TV um app you know Fitness plus there's I mean there's a app store is still like 30 to 60 of their income it's like it's a large substantial amount it's somewhere between a third and two it's actually like a pathetic way to look at like having a company he's like I want to make the best of the best and then like you do that and then like I sold everything that I have and everybody has it and enjoys it and now they don't now there's no nothing to sell because everybody has it's like you did your job congratulations yeah and and expand upon that product you know yeah that's what I said make it better yeah innovate the market uh disruptors or I think I said distributors or it's the disruptors I wonder what you meant by that yeah no it's those are Market Distributors I'm like expand sir uh disruptors so it's like you know with like the medical industry every once in a while some new product comes out and it's like oh it'll cure this one thing and then they get bought and never the product never goes anywhere because it's not in the shareholders best interest to release a cure for something whenever they could treat it but I know that's like a whole that's a whole tenfold hat but like a little bit the logic still makes sense of like every time a new whether it's in Tech or medical or whatever there's a new product that comes out and if it either gets purchased by a big company or they stay independent and then they blow up or or They're ran from overseas where it's less competitive with the US so like djis obviously like they have a ton of products but they're Chinese zones so like there's less competition for them in the U.S sector because the U.S can't void their patents like steal from DJI but DJI has openly stolen from some other there are it's ran by like these companies are overseen by the Chinese government so like there are patents that get traded around in some ways and that's a lot of us companies are like hesitant with how much IP they're willing to share with overseas companies so it's like it's either your your disrupter you get bought out or you're ran from overseas where you have less legality on how you can be told what you can do there's a really similar problem like in the medical field too not MediCal a scientific field where like you know the whole purpose of science is like you test something and then like you see like what the results are and then you have like 20 other people independently do that but nobody wants to do that anymore because they want to be on The Cutting Edge of science yes and they want to be the first person to discover X Y or Z and they don't want to waste time testing a study somebody made instead of you because then you wouldn't get credit you would just be verifying them and so people like it the whole system's flawed where everybody's just selfishly thinking about them and how they push themselves forward yeah um it was ruled in 2020 and then there was another article in 2021 about DJI was ruled uh for infringing on a patent I wanted to make sure that I wasn't too far off on that I don't know if it was intentional or if it wasn't but regardless it's a big company so years of sales before that the judge made the decision or until the decision was made so there's yeah branding that's changed oh wow DJI is awesome they're doing this thing this other company may get ignored the sales go through like over the course of three years you have no idea how much it impacted both companies it's like the whole slander thing like the like the whole Johnny Depp case it's like yeah Johnny won the case and all but you don't know how much it actually infected people's perceptions of the product of the brand of the person or so on yeah so yeah all that to say is that's what happens when you don't have passion for your products correct correct and here at Triflix that once a year we put all of our passion into one film this is true this is true and we put it on the biggest screen in Indiana

and a museum oh that's kind of cool Triflix's

well before we get in before we get this sorry I tried to make a great segue I do appreciate your segue but yeah I don't like it yeah it's bad no it's great not enough passion no you got plenty of passion for all of us buddy I'm so passionate great you're great I'm Flex his biggest fan but we have another sponsor we have another sponsor segment so they were also super passionate about yes I was just gonna say did you say that before you read it no I mean like did you say passion and then you saw that it also said passion yeah okay I had no idea what was coming yeah yeah

I'm having maybe not do that while we read this ad yes sir or like our sponsors and we give them our full attention no no no no well you're not at least your mic away here yeah just very crunchy yeah um we apologize sponsor uh it has nothing to do with this uh we don't know him so again local uh organization uh very cool that they uh they gave us the the time of day to be able to work together um uh it's a passion for acting theater company and the cool thing is is uh we will be we'll have a little spot in the playbills um so if you guys go and check them out um you might see our little logo and some information on the back of a playbill which is kind of cool um so yeah so we're gonna go ahead and read this Um passion for acting theater company has a passion for bringing excellent and entertaining Live Theater to audiences in Bartholomew County passion for acting theater company was created in 2018 and they perform dinner theater Productions at the terrific and eclectic willow leaves of Hope on the Square in Hope Indiana the first production The Miracle Worker was a huge success and received great reviews from audience members since then passion for acting theater company has performed 10 shows ranging from comedies like the kitchen witches and The Odd Couple to drama and suspense like their original Murder Mystery Angel Street to Classic children's literature like the secret garden and Anne of the Green Gables their next show will be Kalamazoo a comedy about what happens wow what happens older folks try um to get into the online dating scene Kalamazoo will be performed at willow leaves of Hope in February Justin that's February 2023 just a heads up um just in time for a Valentine's date or to laugh the winter Blues Away enjoy a delicious dinner and a great night of entertainment at willow leaves of Hope the phone number is

812-341-7251 you can go ahead and call that to make reservations for the Laugh Out Loud Comedy wow I didn't know we were being sponsored by them and I have a personal connection through it hey my mom your mom loves to act in these plays there you go so not only are they a sponsor yeah but um and local uh and we know a couple other people there um but uh David's mom yeah David's mom you might remember her from uh triflix filmed a short film the last note yeah

I said it permission multiple times I was like that is not correct um we all will not take credit for that uh just the audio Yeah um but no good job guys you even with the Segway back around um we did another 48 hour guys we did with all our passion we just oozed it out into one big movie yeah so for those of you that don't know what the 48 hour is we every year do a a film festival film challenge called the 48 Hour film project um I believe one of the um uh the co uh kind of creators maybe slash Runners um as indie film festival um there's a couple guys that help out and do judging and stuff from there um we've worked really close with them for what the last three or four years um as triflix to make films yeah um we did our first film which was vitalian you can skip that one invite a lion we we learned a lot from that film okay we put it together very late anyways um we try to remember that that doesn't exist um and then our second film that we did all together was nuts about you yep that within that year span of time we went on to win multiple Awards um three we were runner-up uh that year um uh to winning the whole competition and we got audience Choice Award yep and then we also got um best cinematography yeah for a real cool drone shot real cool that was such a box it was a throne shot too because the phone is corrupted I know it wouldn't even play in the freaking editor yeah you're welcome um and then uh this year uh we made a film called immersion yep um and uh we were very ambitious and we went we actually won best directing we did um unfortunately we did not place but this year was was a really good competition yes our film version would have won the previous year correct you think so this year I think it was so high like it just got dwarfed by all the talents there was a lot more people uh competing than last year yeah and I I think that's a good thing we are very happy more people are getting involved yeah we're not complaining at all let's preface this whole conversation with the fact that we're glad about this the competition is growing it helps to bring to bring money I believe into indie film fest it's it's all good things it helps the our our filmmaking community in Indiana in general it's so positive too when we were there everybody was like oh my God it's your film and like just talking about how like well each other is is just awesome it was really good so the cool thing is is we put a lot of time and effort in again this year and we tried our our hardest to make the best thing we could within that 48-hour time limit yep and after all said and done very proud of the team and everybody else um you can go to our YouTube channel um Triflix films and you can watch the film or you can also go to our Channel traffic's team and watch the behind the scenes and the order can be up to you but recommend watching the film first um it was really cool we had a full feature behind the scenes for the whole weekend um you get to learn a lot and see a lot about uh our crew and how we all work together we just did it a lot that weekend oh that was a crazy amount of things we did I think I think we had the most locations out of anybody yeah like it was I'm surprised how well organized we kept it together like just thinking back I was like how many the only time we really dropped the balls like we went to Pure Barre yeah

it's French so they're not sponsoring but we forgot yeah don't plug that no don't play they're local we like them they're local uh they let us use a location for free we like them they're very good uh they're very good and we played with all of their equipment we played with their bars all right what am I trying to say uh we forgot some power cables and some extension since that wasted about maybe 30 minutes of time uh we were still setting up I don't think it was and I had to walk off to buy a fog machine conveniently right next to uh unnamed store because we they didn't help us that much the uh fog machine yeah it could be like you know a party in a city I don't know something along we are a city and that was a party store yeah DJI needs to release a freaking firmware though because out of all of the issues with this amazing camera but they did release a firmware and you haven't installed it no they need to fix one where it like does some sort of computational like comparison between the lidar and what actually is in camera for Christmas because I don't think there's anything for in-camera at all that compares oh no how sharp something is so we discovered yeah about the fog machine with our ten thousand dollar cinema camera that it will not track Focus because liadar sends out rays that bounce back of light of light that bounce back but it gets diffracted in fog so it can't tell how far away anything is yeah and this amazing cinema camera as soon as there's a bit of fog yeah it does not work at all and you have to go to manual focus which is fine I was to say you know you're gonna hear from people in the industry and they'd be like use manual focus yes but whatever the advertisement it's like you that's just how light works man I know but like every other camera all these other cameras in this price range offer autofocus even Blackmagic as bad as their version is it's like give me anything to compare to and they just don't yeah but that's also are you saying like switch to like the normal type of autofocus just give me the option like okay let me switch over to it I shot the whole thing manual which was fine because they were like three second scenes yeah but maybe we'll talk about the The Fog Mountain shoot we did later on where the entire shoot was manual focus which ended up being probably about four hours of exteriors and fog yeah yeah but I mean but at the end of the day like I mean it's still a better system than any other autofocus on the market for a cinema I know but if they're gonna be stealing and most don't even have it if they're gonna be stealing patterns they could at least get the easy ones like come on now we gotta don't forget and I know I'm playing I'm playing Devil's Devil's Advocate I'm not saying that I agree but I'm just saying like a bit ridiculous me no him oh but like not you we're also early adopters yes I mean this is a fir this is their first Cinema Camera they've ever made yeah right and we're lucky we are so lucky that the the lidar works as well as it does lucky that is good no one else uses lidar Focus it's true yeah actually they're releasing the feature for other Gamers now iPad does something with the lidar right they have a little lidar sensor on there no they're not using it for focus what are you for AR that's it aren't they using it for depth too for photos where you can change the focus and post yes it is there are they are using it for that uh they're saving depth information which is really cool because the thought of shooting raw with lidar means you could yeah possibly do that in later Slater down the road like where you change all the settings with Photoshop but also so whatever's in focus without lidar how does autofocus even work like what is it doing do we know we don't

yeah it is the computer in the camera is looking for what is sharp and then you also have like the the brain part of it's like is this a face or an eyeball do I detect it if so let's lock onto that that's true so it's it's a lot of post-processing in the camera and that's also why like cameras like the people are like oh well my camera lasts for like four hours and your new one doesn't last that long it's like well my camera's doing a lot more work it's the same reason cell phones like whenever you shoot photo and video on those it's like the battery goes really quick because how many yards rotation do we have for our Ronin we have three batteries yeah yes yeah which they charge faster than you use them right they charge really fast yeah which is pretty impressive but it also is when the processing things it depends on how much you're doing with the camera so like if I have all the stabilizers on and it's like bouncing and I'm running and that's a lot for the motors if you're shooting 4K 6K 8K 2K like all the the amount of uh effort the camera has to do is what drastically reduces the battery life and if it's a hot sunny day or cold day so back to your lidar focus issue if we had the wireless monitor yeah and we had someone off to the side this is really shaking the focus I love it it's like hey all you have to do is spend more money the the solution yeah is another people and Equipment yeah the solution we talked about this is twelve hundred dollars and uh like an AC to focus pull would probably be like maybe 60 an hour for a like somebody that's qualified to be what's better than lidar a human doing it well probably for sure probably yeah even without fog like there's there's uh well you probably should like the bigger stuff right you probably should have someone just watching it anyway making sure the lidar is doing what it's supposed to do well there's the human touch I mean I'm not mean yeah I'm just saying like again I mean this is a this is a decision that a business has to make and it's like where's your point of diminishing returns and where am I going to start eating into my profit and it's like if I have to bring an extra person and two thousand dollars worth of equipment so that somebody can pull Focus all day right like yeah that makes no sense if they're qualified the human touch is worth it because they agreed because like lidar even with all their firmware updates it's still not like a smooth roll-off in between Focus like if if there's a cup in the foreground like real close to Karen like two feet away and then there's somebody like six feet back and then there's like a wall 20 feet back the lidar is really fast and that's good because you don't want to miss a shot because it's like I need to snap to the right subject as quick as possible um so it'll switch the cup to the person to the background instantaneously because it's light it's it is the time it takes for the light to go out come back and tell the motor where to be and it's like it's it's basically instant you could snap your fingers fast enough and the problem with that is if you're doing like a cinematic shot and it's like you wanna you wanna sweep from a cup to a person to the background smoothly the lidar doesn't understand that it doesn't have a slow uh I almost guarantee you it does no there was there was a setting that they added in the firmware but it was the first firmware we did okay they added that feature and uh I'm pretty sure we already enabled it we can double check it but yeah maybe the newest firmware maybe the newest firmware that they just came out with like maybe two weeks ago fixes that it was right before we went on our trip yes yeah yes yeah because we were like let's not upgrade the firmware and possibly break our camera right before we go to Colorado where we have no support oh that would be fun yeah sounds awesome especially judging like anything happening be like hey we forgot this we need you to go take it the the FedEx overnight same day blah blah blah there's no way it would have got up that mountain in time no no way no way we had everything planned so tight there's we couldn't even get on the plane in time that's true I didn't even think about that yeah we need to talk about that not today but yeah another time yeah you guys you'll find out about that story who is your favorite person to work with on 48 hour my favorite person that's not a that's not an internal member not an internal member because we pay them we we expect them to be nice I mean I know this is like this is a common occurrence but like I I really do enjoy working with Spencer Spencer obviously I love working with everyone I I love also love working with Derek uh David's brother um and Abby is also fantastic I mean everyone's awesome to work with but it's like I just enjoy Spencer so much like he's just great on set yeah so Spencer if you want to work here start starts emails maybe in a year yeah maybe yeah we're just talking about how we were done my favorite person to work with there's always not internal there's only one right answer I'll say that with Spencer you said Spencer what over our lead actor lyric already knows he loves him oh no I love Andrew yeah I was for sure you'd say like oh that's true your best bud yeah but he knows right yeah he knows yeah he already knows that One's Gonna Change that I get that he's great in camera this is true yeah huh what about you I thought that Meme was a girl just gonna say Spencer no no I was just like genuine like I started it I know like the thing is with those it's a lot of volunteers like we're we're putting in a lot of time and money on our end just to make it work and a lot of people come out yeah whether that's acting or AC or ad or whatever like just to help out I mean that's because everybody wants to make I think everyone was great at least because I'm done with anybody everybody comes on set because we all love working together and we have a passion for filmmaking like and it's such it's such a good team everyone's motivated to be there because they want to see everyone succeed and because it's a good time yeah yeah we have that's it everything to contribute Spencer had like back with him but he had like really good suggestions for like in the middle of us doing a scene like hey what if you did this or that and that was incredible I think it was the hot tub scene yeah uh yeah it's in there uh We're not gonna say anything else so you have to go watch it now yeah but you already know who my favorite is so if you're listening you know who you are you know you know you're right we're not gonna say it and then you're not gonna say it who is it no they know who they're they know just say it are you kidding me say it I'm pretty sure he has no the people watching he has nothing yeah he doesn't know they know tell me who he doesn't know you can't ask the questions yeah go bleep no who is it it's I'm gonna keep asking until you die it doesn't matter it does he doesn't know all right yeah he doesn't know what's his favorite he doesn't want to choose favorites okay we got one more thing we're gonna do and then we're gonna wrap up this episode I think we've already gone probably longer than we should have um but that's okay guys welcome back yeah so um uh we talked about segments uh the one we're gonna do today is we're gonna do a quick little uh photo uh Slash video tip of the week um and I think uh just a heads up like we'll continue to expand upon these things as time goes on but um we wanted to give you guys some good content today so um here's your tip make sure they're in Focus that's not it don't shoot lights you'd be surprised the number of times I don't follow that yeah don't say that out loud I blame lidar oh my goodness we still get the shot I don't know the man pulls it off every time so every time how can you you can't argue with himself well the reason I have the best we do like a shot like three or four times and we check on purpose due diligence to make sure we get the right shot that's awesome um okay so back to the tip so um a heads up on this as well these are gonna coincide with a series that we have that is on uh Instagram reels it's uh it shows up on Facebook it's on YouTube shorts and it's also on Tick Tock um this is a vertical series that we have uh it's a Triflix tips uh every Tuesday we release a video that explains a certain thing um this week it is uh choosing an SD card because that can be kind of difficult so oh it's weird it's super weird yeah it doesn't make any standard well there is incredibly incredibly difficult um yeah but the the main reason we wanted to talk about this was to be able to expand we only have 60 seconds on these verticals uh and we try to make them fun and entertaining and this is a good way for you guys to get a little extra context because this one was especially hard to produce um I've been doing a lot of the like the producing the writing on these and when I put this together and did the research there was there was so much information um it was insanely hard to pack into 60 seconds so um when you when you look at an SD card there's all these different letters and numbers and things on the front and they all stand for something that usually has to do with speed um you know the speed of your of your SD card uh is going to make a big difference when you use it for different applications which I learned that there is an an A1 and an A2 specification are you aware of this David no this is these are specifications that are the amount of the amount of read writes per second that a card can do and this is specifically for app use so if you were to store data on an SD card on a phone or a tablet or a computer and you were going to continually access that card to get data and use an app an application okay that's what it's rated for because the read write on the card is sequential isn't it like that is like if you have one file and you try to run straight through or if you're hitting record on a video it runs straight through because it's just writing continuously it's not as you're finding out with your card right now trying to offload all these photos it's like how many instances of start stop start stop it can do yes at the same time or in a row yes and so there's an A1 A1 and an A2 specification and A2 is faster can do more back and forth okay but it's specifically just for apps and there's also a v specification yes okay and that's your that's your you know that the higher number I think it's uh in in uh threes yeah no it's tens V10 v20 v30 something along those lines and those usually stand for you know how many megabytes it's like I think it's times 10 or whatever so it's like 300 megabytes per second um that it can write with video so obviously the faster it writes the more frames you can do you know the higher frame rates you can do the more you know you could go up to 8K that helps with that specification um and there's also what a there's a class and that's like a c with a number in it um and there's also yeah there's also a u with a number in it I can't I can't remember what that is that's another class it's like the UHS class or something along those lines there's also a bus number standards are these like one companies thing no so these are the standards so like when you look at an SD card it might not have all of these so it might not have an a class and it might not have a v rating like but all of these are standards across all companies whether you're buying a Samsung SSD or SanDisk or whatever I know there's other companies but yeah well there's there's a recorder I have to use not ours uh from time to time and if you put in an SD card that's not like the right class at the right speed it just won't tell you there's an SD card insert it yeah like you put it in it just thinks it says no card yeah doesn't tell you what the issue is that's a good thing I mean it should tell you the issue it's a good thing that isn't let you try because you would be very irritated the issue is it just doesn't tell me what it is which it's usually there's yeah here's another standard or class oh boy um usually on the side of your device which uh I don't know if there's one on the back of here but on the side of our other P4 recorder it says like SDXC yes yes this is usually what stops you from being able to use an SD card because there's a standard SD which you don't see anymore really yeah um so let me see if I can remember there's like an SD um HC and SDXC and then an SD UC and these are extended capacity high capacity and then Ultra Ultra City and these all have a amount of capacity that they go up to and each one starts at the the top range and moves on so Ultra capacity is the newest version but most of these I think like a like a HC is backwards compatible but as soon as you get to like an XC and above they don't tend to be backwards compatible so as soon as you slide in a card in an XC slot that's like uh you know a high capacity like it just doesn't work right and now the Devil's Advocate if you're buying this equipment you should know how to use it you should do your research and you should figure out what it requires for it to to work but like in my case like sometimes it doesn't even tell you what you're doing wrong which is kind of weird like you'd think if you try to try to be user friendly you'd be like hey this requires blah blah blah or like in this case they have there is a cover back here and it says uh I think XC on it yes yes it does and so like in that case like you look at it like okay I know what type of SD card to buy but you know like you're just trying to get started like this is a whole bunch of information that's like hard to take in like yeah I'm trying to buy a kid a device right now it's like I used my parents used to be like double a triple A or D batteries and now it's like what kind of xqd card I gotta use to get my kids as darn camera working they look the same basically they do they're all the same form factor yeah and mostly the only thing that's different is like the little tiny text that says XC or UC uh the I think the number of pins changes too on it so the only time the pins change is when the bus changes bus so if you look at uh so if you look at one of our adapters right because we don't really have any full-size SD cards here in the office we have a couple but I'm getting there but most of our stuff is a full-size SD adapter that a micro slides into yes because micros are the most popular size for devices and they're very insanely it's the size of a fingernail yeah or just did a video on like data density and like how much data you can fit into one of these which is insane if you had a square like a one foot by one foot square of all these little you know all these little tiny SD cards how much information is that and it's like it's actually insane so it's it's very impressive um uh what was I getting out with the size of the buses yeah so the thing that I noticed in doing my research when you look at the back of the adapter it has a set of pins on it and it's kind of what we're used to seeing right yep well we have these fancy SD cards that we use in our audio uh recorders and there's a B1 and a B2 everything that we use is usually a B1 which is the bus type okay those the the angel bird ones are a B2 and they have an extra set of pins and essentially write up the bus part of it is like your Highway Lanes right so like your write speed is the car and then the more bus space you have is how many lanes you have how many cars you can fit through at the same time exactly so I learned this as well that's the only one we have in the office that is a B2 uh ninety percent of the time you're only going to have a B1 but this that's these guys are another class above fast guy huh yeah so real fast they need a special reader for it um no so it's all backwards compatible oh okay so in in most of the readers that are out there they they work with that car works on two lane and one lane highways yeah it's like a motorcycle but again I mean I'm sure I mean again for people who are listening I'm sure or watching um it's it's a lot of information yeah so they're you're not even taking all of it in I clicked a link literally and it took me to sandisk's website which is like they're like the main they like own all the things right they're like oh we're Seagate and you know Western Digital they're all of it they own them all um but the interesting thing about them is they had a link that you could go to that would help you find which card was right for you it just takes you to the store now so just figure it out yeah yeah just good luck just too interesting the most expensive ones which is what I was doing yeah and come to find out right it's like I'm looking because it's like they have all these things right and those are all the standards but then you get the company part and it's like it's the SanDisk micro SD extreme pro version three and all that's just marketing jargon yeah which I'm really I'm just learning a lot about your spending habits more and more today well I was like it's the extreme Pro and it's red and black It's gotta be the best one and it's not yeah yeah which is funny because your dad's in sales I figured you'd been on you'd been on to all this marketing BS a lot younger in life no I mean I get it but I also like I'm a human being well they have shareholders don't you know their soul leftover

are you lacking passion it's like are you telling me the extreme Pro is not the best one come on it's gonna be extreme Pro Ultra Plus now you just gotta keep one-upping it it's like uh there's let's talk about like animes and stuff it's like after you like fight God himself it's like what's the next boss or Marvel it's like all right I've defeated the world the world and it's like what's next it's like the the SD card maximum Optimus Prime Edition yeah it's like they're gonna start branding it so like you can get the SD card and put your face on it oh there you go that's not a bad idea don't take that it's mine right I want to eat I have the baker yeah let's try to look branded SD cards I want to Mint that there you go I'm gonna make it nft okay one episode I'm calling it I'm calling it we are having to wrap it up because Cole wants to go home uh no we just we've this has been a great episode you gotta finish on a high right we just we just taught everybody about choosing an SD card and I am just as confused as we were before the people that skip through that section you made it good for you and there's nothing else at the end of this rainbow hey this is the silly stuff that was it hey you know what at the end of the day if you go buy an SD card you're probably gonna be fine tell them uh try to find the most yeah don't buy the most expensive one that's a ripoff yeah buy the cheapest one the most likely from a brand you've never heard most likely if you have a device that is a camera or video recorder that shoots in any high quality it's probably not using an SD card anyways so that's a great it's a very easy way out of that market yeah do your research yeah find out what you need not more and you know what if you guys have any questions more than welcome to comment on this uh send us send us a message do we do we have contact don't we have contact try flukes yeah contact to tryflix.com more than welcome send us an email we have a chat on the website triplex.com you're more than welcome to use that as well it goes straight through the Facebook so yeah okay awesome guys um what's happening next week uh next week we'll uh we'll expand upon some of the things we didn't get to talk about today um I think some of that was uh a little bit more 48 hour um yeah uh oh the Colorado wedding that we shot um Colorado yeah there's a good uh good couple things to come back for next week um and uh we'll have a segment that should be a little bit more fun um than choosing SD cards so stick around for that then maybe maybe I don't know we'll see probably not now that you gave it up I don't know
