Fantastic!

Love the craftsmanship on display with the warm tones and the transition to cold city life. Really nice use of hard audio cuts.

Soliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid.
Paul Hamilton 11 months ago

Thank you very much Bugs. Koentopp's craftsmanship is extraordinary - he apprenticed with a gifted violin builder, and this has translated into the style of the guitar he is building - amazing to see it - it's almost finished, stay tuned! P&C&K

Gioacchino Petronicce 11 months ago

The work on the sound is fabulous.
I am student in sound and I see in this movie what the sound can add to the image.

It's you who makes the sound?
Gioacchino Petronicce 11 months ago

And....
What is the sound device ? is it only of the direct sound?

I watched it 3 times, the rhythm is impressive and the very fine sound and very well editing. My congratulations!
Caleb Vinson 11 months ago

Many thanks Gioacchino!! I'll let Paul answer the questions on the sound!! He's the audio Wiz!! :-)

Jose Barrera 11 months ago

Si, he vivido muchos años allí, ahora estoy en un pequeño pueblo llamado Fuentes de Andalucía, cerca de sevilla.Supongo que en sevilla debe de haber muchas personas que hagan guitarras pero no había visto ningún video de ello hasta ahora...No me dirás que vas a venir? ;)

Michael M 11 months ago

Hello Caleb and Paul
Now I have 'seen' this film three times, that is, I saw i twice and then turned the back to the screen and listened through it the third time.
First: The sound is incredible. This 'normal' sound you make into music. The changing between different sounds, high and deep, loud or low - and all in a rythmic way. That is absolutely fantastic.
Second: I like the pictures. The contrasts between the pictures. Indoor outdoor, hot - cold, but also hot -cold in the light. The very fine close ups.
I did not understand the water in the beginning?
Anyway: First class (as usual)

Btw: Did Caleb film this handheld too?
Caleb Vinson 11 months ago

Michael thank you so much for watching from the both of us!! The shots in the beginning falling are wood chips :-)!!
Paul does a sensational job constructing the rhythm of the audio!! It blows me away!! Thanks for stopping by and checking this out!! P&C
Garry B 11 months ago

Its so great to see a fellow artisan at work. Felt right at home in the shop. The sounds of his work rang like a bell to my ears. Can't wait to see the finished product both in the instrument and your documentation of its construction. This teaser is as usual, brilliant.
Caleb Vinson 11 months ago

We are very thankful Garry!! Koentopp's shop is awesome!! It has so much character! He also does awesome work!! Much respects Garry!! P&C&K
Vassili Shields 11 months ago

WOW! That blew me away - from the first shot of the shavings falling to that shot with the snow blowing - it looks amazing and the sound design is great as well! Congrats.

Please do! What's bringing (or brought) you to PC?!
Rafa Sanchez 11 months ago

In this video I liked the little details. Normally we do not see these details in real life. Excellent work as usual.
Thank you for sharing Caleb
Paul Hamilton 11 months ago

Thank you Rafa - you are exactly right - even with the Z-Finder some details are not visible in the viewfinder - and we are amazed when we see the macro shots for the first time on the big screen. It's that Koentopp can cut the miniature pieces by hand - and inlay them in the wood with such precision!

Cheers, P&C&K
Agnieszka Gonczarek 11 months ago

Guitar building - the world of sounds! You have captured it! Can't wait to see the whole documentary. Paul, Caleb, great work!

Cheers, P&C&K

Caleb and Paul - once again...a beautiful and meaningful work. The shots, the editing... everything is splendid...I loved the cut from filing to toothbrushing....
my ex was a stringed-instrument builder, so this kind of brought it all back to me.... I could really feel it.
Paul Hamilton 11 months ago

Thank you so much Kasumi - we've had a great time shooting this project - it's amazing in all respects - Koentopp is fun to work with, and exceptionally talented!
