I don't have any insightful feedback for you, just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, the last thing I was expecting to see was a couple of legendary UFC fighters!

Looking forward to seeing what you shoot Soren, the Komodo is a great camera

The purpose is for me to just feel empowered to get out and make films and work as a director / operator

If this is your goal with getting a camera then in my opinion, the  Komodo is the easy favourite. Nothing will empower you more to get out and make films than not having to fight your gear every time you're out. Like Phil said, the Alexa is a giant chunk of old camera and film is another beast entirely.

Another camera I've been seriously impressed by every single time I see it is the MAVO. Anyone shooting on that?

I've got a buddy who owns and operates a MAVO, if you have any specific questions I'm happy to ask him for you.

To compensate for the compression, upload in 4k, 48-60fps if you can. YouTube gives you 4-6x higher bitrate at high frame rate 4k than say 24fps 1080p.

Corridor Digital were right about the muzzle flashes, though.

I love Corridor! The lens cracking and the full auto pistol at the end kill me every time.

But I'm sure everyone else will want to discuss art house.

Haha, I've gotta agree. I'm not sure if the group will want to talk about how I've seen John Wick 12 times

From the perspective of someone who fairly recently finished film school, it's awesome that you brought students onto this project. I'm sure the whole experience was super valuable to them and what they learned will help them immensely in their own careers. 

Well deserved!
