One of the biggest influences on our YouTube success was meeting other Creators and seeing first-hand what was possible. We'd been in Austin creating in isolation. In the early days, we had nobody to talk to who understood what we were trying to do with this weird YouTube thing.
Going to YouTube Space LA for the first time opened our eyes. Something massive was happening, and we were a tiny part of it. We decided to go all-in.

Finally a Patreon for the @LexG_III podcast. It's one of the best movie podcasts going right now. patreon.com/TheLexGPodcast!

The first installment of a new series. This goes back to before I got serious about #YouTube. This experience laid the groundwork for everything that came next.

1 / THE SPIDER BABIES! I somehow logged in to an old, forgotten Flickr account and found a bunch of photos from the production of our sadly never-completed indie movie, The Spider Babies.
The images are a bit low-resolution, but keep in mind—we are time-traveling back to the days of the iPhone 3G.
Here's the main cast. You might recognize @yogawithadriene (left) and Hilah from Hilah Cooking (right)

5/ Here's the band in front of a green screen.
This was for an animated title sequence, so just imagine an animated hellscape behind them. They also played and smashed instruments.
6/ As mentioned, the movie fell apart and was never completed. This was very disappointing and traumatic for me at the time. But - if it hadn't crashed and burned, it's doubtful that we would have ever started making #YouTube videos.
If this interests you, let me know. There are a lot more images where these came from.

I mentioned in my last newsletter that I’ve been shooting almost all of my “personal” projects with my iPhone.
A few people asked if I was using any additional gear. Most of the time, it’s just the iPhone. But if I need to use a tripod or any rigging, I’ve recently started using a BeastCage, and I love it. I can attach lenses if I need to, but I rarely do.

I love how solid and industrial this cage feels. It’s easier to handle and has a lot of mounting points for whatever I might want to attach. It elevates the experience for me.
And for the app, I almost exclusively use Kino (with the @stalman LUT).

Behind the Scenes of Yoga With Adriene: Cameras & Gear + the photo I posted that shattered our "invisible" production style and made us rethink our approach to behind-the-scenes content.
