“I'm actually filming this, ironically enough, on my Canon EOSR, which is not even, it's kind of a 4K camera, but this is actually just a 1080 signal from it.”

“ইওএস আর (EOS R)-এ ৬০ পি (60p) শুট করতে করতে অভ্যস্ত হয়ে গিয়েছিলাম, কিন্তু আবার ১২০-এ শুট করাটা দারুণ ছিল এবং মনে পড়ে গেল এটা দেখতে কতটা ভালো লাগে, বিশেষ করে ৪ কে ( 4K)-তে।”
