We have lots to get into today, so we’ll hit a few highlights: our new Artist of the Month, a cell phone with a camera inspired by Kodak film stocks, the Severance season 1 soundtrack on vinyl, and a new video series from Preston Goes that is undoubtedly going to be our favorite thing on YouTube this year.

Thanks for being here. Dive in, get lost, and enjoy.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH

This month’s AOTM is a recent find for us, and has quickly become one of our favorite channels on YouTube: Bokeh Therapy with Jack Wang.

Jack’s background as a scientist and professor (Australian University’s “Teacher of the Year,” might we add) shines beautifully alongside his love of street photography. He weaves in and out of personal stories and musings, while effortlessly demonstrating his blend of vintage and modern camera gear. His reviews are far from the traditional videos you’d expect to find on YouTube, and we think Jack is a truly unique find in the photo/video space. Check out his channel below.

PULSE CHECK

Pulse Check is our way of keeping a finger on the heartbeat of the creative industry. Everything from breaking news to announcements or videos that might have slipped under the radar, this curated list will keep you in the know.

• Portra film stocks influenced the color science behind Light Phone III’s whopping new 50mp camera; read more in the comments.

• Nikon has added shutter angle to the Z8 and Z6III, further proving their commitment to the video market.

• The Lumix S1R II is a beast of a hybrid stills/video camera that punches way above its $3,299 price tag.

• Sony’s new 16mm f/1.8 G lens is compact, sharp, and perfect for YouTube.

OFF-SCRIPT

Every now and then, it feels good to get lost down a few rabbit holes. Off-Script is our catch-all for exactly that; a random assortment of objects, products, music, books, tools, and inspiration we’re finding in our day-to-day.

• Severance S1 soundtrack on vinyl? Yes, please.

• This book instantly jumped to the top of our list for required reading.

• One of our favorite websites for graphic design assets.

• This new series from Preston Goes is going to be one of our favorite things on YouTube this year.
