is the toy story 3 camera really worth the upgrade from the toystory 2 camera?
David has the best attitude.
He made a modifier out of toilet paper and flagged his lens with his driver's license.
Family Jewels FUQ690! ahahahahaha

I just think about how awesome these photos would be with a pro camera 😭
Any one of us who has a halfway decent camera; We have no excuse anymore.
David had a tougher job than most due to the additional requirements about what he was to photograph and how, and the issues with the flash sync. That said, I'm sure DR tested it beforehand and was confident it was at last solvable, these videos are not nearly as disorganised as they are trying to look 😉
What that guy did with the snake was f*cked up. At least kill the thing before you skin it.
Do you use the music from Love/Hate?
Or am I dreaming that?
The care of those snakes is purely animal abuse.
i was drinking a tea and everything was good until that moment when he said hold the snake to your neck i was like buuuuur almost choke on it and ruin my desk. i hate snakes
One of the best – a man who know how to achieve what he wants from what he's got – Brilliant.
He's the reason why I bought a flash and a trigger. Wonderful to watch David work.
I believe this is one the longest video on DRTV, and totally worth it! Those shots are perfect considering those cheap gears :O
fuq69 by family jewels 10/10 legit the best flash
Amazing!!!
take the shots with just the camaera
How can you not find that disturbing?
Whew, had to look away, I personal just don't like snakes, but I can't watch any animal in pain.
That camera has almost twice the resolution of the one I produced my first YouTube 'videos' with. ;-D
Seems like a really cool fella.
How did he sync the second flash with the toy camera?
