WEBVTT 00:00:00.079 --> 00:00:05.940 this is the NSI Creator Z16 a laptop 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.840 designed to be the ultimate in performance for digital creators and we 00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:15.660 are going to be pushing it to its absolute limit attempting to create a 00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:17.580 seven and a half gigapixel image 00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:22.140 whether or not that's actually going to work we're not sure but we sure hope so 00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:27.619 because this video is sponsored by MSI and the last thing we want is a repeat 00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:27.619 of last time 00:00:36.620 --> 00:00:45.300 I needed a corner I need I had I like to start with a corner 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:48.420 there we go and who says powerful 00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:50.700 laptops have to be thick anymore even if 00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:56.039 the laptop was this thick it would be thinner than like a lot of the portable 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.980 workstations from Years Gone by 00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.399 let's open this puppy up oh look Lucky's in there 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:08.220 it's fine this merch isn't available yet on the store anyway so let's switch over 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:10.680 to a t-shirt that is lttstore.com now 00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:14.760 hold on a second I don't think I have ever seen 00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:19.260 an MSI laptop this rigid 00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:24.360 that's really impressive actually not just like a impressive for MSI 00:01:23.220 --> 00:01:29.700 um it's actually really good the entire 00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:32.700 bottom is that one gigantic air intake across the back you can see we got 00:01:31.020 --> 00:01:37.320 speaker grilles over here on the left and right Alex has clearly already 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:43.740 opened this that's hilarious in terms of i o we've got exhaust on the 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.659 sides back yeah solid quarter of the 00:01:43.740 --> 00:01:51.360 device is taken up by exhaust grills over on the right we've got micro SD 00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:54.299 Thunderbolt USB 3 10 gigabit per second 00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:58.439 a type a port and then oh basically the exact same thing over on the left there 00:01:56.100 --> 00:02:01.680 is a barrel plug for power and a headphone jack instead of the micro SD 00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:06.000 but that's pretty that's basically what I would 00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:11.400 need in terms of i o the one thing I would like to see is an HDMI port topics 00:02:09.179 --> 00:02:16.680 of battery 90 watt hours 00:02:13.980 --> 00:02:19.580 all right then open it up though 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:31.200 there's not one not two but three fans 00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:32.220 here here and here and it appears as 00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:36.900 though in order to keep the intakes on them as 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.560 unrestricted as possible they're actually pulling in air from both the 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:45.180 top and bottom of the device that is really cool like I can I can see I can 00:02:43.140 --> 00:02:48.840 see you I can see right through it hey Brandon come come see if you can look 00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:52.700 through it flip the camera it's you got to be like right here 00:02:53.660 --> 00:02:58.400 can you see me moving back and forth back here 00:02:58.980 --> 00:03:07.440 makes sense it needs so much cooling it's got an Intel Core I9 11900h and an 00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:10.200 RTX 3060 so it's very powerful on both 00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:13.800 the CPU and GPU side of things of course one of the biggest selling points of 00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:18.599 this machine isn't what's in the bottom half of the clamshell but rather what's 00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:25.560 in the top half this is what MSI is calling their true pixel touch display 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:27.180 it's a 16 inch 2560 by 1600 400 nit Peak 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:32.040 brightness display that is pre-calibrated to a Delta e of less than 00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:36.659 two so the idea here is that you've got a portable machine that has basically a 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:42.239 professional grade creative monitor on it not only that but if you like to game 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:48.120 in your off time it even runs at 120 hertz now I'm a big fan of taller than 00:03:45.659 --> 00:03:54.720 16x9 displays and the reason for that is from a creative standpoint it allows you 00:03:50.459 --> 00:03:57.299 to have more video tracks more tools it 00:03:54.720 --> 00:04:02.040 allows you to just not Auto Hide Your taskbar and not be giving up that extra 00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:05.819 real estate at the bottom of your screen I'm a huge fan and not foreplay though 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.659 the technique that we're going to be using to create our Giant image and 00:04:07.980 --> 00:04:15.299 really show off the grunt of this laptop is called the brennizer method AKA Boca 00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:19.440 Rama it's a technique that is super popular in both portrait and especially 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:25.500 wedding photography because what it allows you to do is create an extra wide 00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:27.660 angle image but still have that pleasing 00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:31.320 bokeh that draws the viewer's eye to the subject let's go out to the Courtyard to 00:04:29.580 --> 00:04:36.780 show you guys how it works this is great we've got our Dream 00:04:33.780 --> 00:04:39.419 photographer this gorgeous location with 00:04:36.780 --> 00:04:44.460 the greenery and the industrial building and Collins motorbike which my betrothed 00:04:42.540 --> 00:04:48.180 here is super into the only problem is that in order to 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:52.139 capture this environment Brennan's got to use a wide-angle lens and unless 00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:57.540 you've got a really expensive camera with a large sensor and a matching 00:04:54.660 --> 00:05:03.120 expensive fast lens you can't get that bokeh effect with a wide angle shot and 00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:06.360 even if you do it doesn't look as natural as it does with a telephoto lens 00:05:04.979 --> 00:05:11.639 the one super fun thing about the bruneiser method is you actually are not 00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:13.440 ever 100 sure that you have every part 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:18.000 of the image that you need I mean you could just trust your instincts which is 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:21.540 what I'm doing but I'm not 100 certain that I'm not missing like a tiny Gap in 00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:27.060 between these photos I'm just trying to over 00:05:23.460 --> 00:05:29.100 okay cool hopefully uh that works now 00:05:27.060 --> 00:05:33.900 that's better with a 50 millimeter lens we get a much more pleasing image but we 00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:37.139 lose this environment how are we going to remember where we were 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:43.800 well that's where the brandeiser method comes in Brandon can take 20 30 40 50 as 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:47.639 many as he wants really additional shots from the same position with the same 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:52.740 lens then we can stitch them all together to get what is essentially The 00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:58.800 Best of Both Worlds nice wide angle nice pleasing bokeh so we have about 71 00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:02.639 photos which is probably a little bit too many I was gonna say I think you 00:06:00.900 --> 00:06:06.840 went a little on the side I went really ham to just make sure we were covered on 00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:12.180 the entire area so for this method it's probably better to 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:16.620 use fewer but I've already started the render for this it's you can see it 00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:21.180 going in the corner it is going um but all you have to do when you do this oh 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:26.819 oh Lightroom I shouldn't have clicked okay hold on 00:06:22.940 --> 00:06:28.740 there we go so you select all of these 00:06:26.819 --> 00:06:34.740 here I can probably do the select all let's see if it lets me oh oh it's it's 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:38.759 working very hard because even though this is a easier 00:06:36.780 --> 00:06:42.780 than what we're going to do later it's still working pretty hard I probably 00:06:40.380 --> 00:06:47.840 push it a little bit too hard well the fact that it hasn't crashed like fully 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.840 crashed I'm impressed 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:54.660 you laugh but like okay okay hey no look it's selected all it's selected all okay 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:58.440 I'm just gonna show you what I did so that we don't actually have to disturb 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.979 this but you just select everything yeah then you right click yeah and then you 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:06.720 go to photo merge yeah and then you go to Panorama and then that's it and then 00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:09.660 it gives you a preview which takes almost as much time as it takes to 00:07:08.580 --> 00:07:13.919 render it because it is essentially rendering it a preview right so you might as well just render it yeah and 00:07:12.479 --> 00:07:16.979 then once you well once you have the preview then you'll know because once 00:07:15.539 --> 00:07:23.460 the preview is completed if there's any gaps in where you take to photos 00:07:20.340 --> 00:07:25.680 Adobe has a fill Edge like 00:07:23.460 --> 00:07:28.979 um AI thing and it works surprisingly well so if you've got like a little tiny 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:36.180 hole in the photo I don't think it can still hold on the photo I don't think I got a hole in the photo 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:39.240 but we can also show the example of the 00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:41.880 like approximation on the wide lens yeah 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:46.139 A View From that distance right you can see I'm beautiful 00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:49.560 you but you can see that the rest of the photo is kind of meh like it's it 00:07:47.880 --> 00:07:52.919 there's not a lot of foreground these trees are pretty dark even these 00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:58.380 buildings the buildings are pretty in Focus like it's it's there's no depth so 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.759 the hope is once this photo is rendered 00:07:58.380 --> 00:08:04.199 we will actually have a photo with much more depth you will be still small but 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:09.599 there will be a lot more like there'll be a bigger feeling to it so small yeah 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:14.340 how many megapixels is each of these 26 26 well there's your 26.1 yeah there's 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:19.500 your problem that point one counts when you take 71 of them 00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:21.360 and we're gonna try 250 later oh good 00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:25.680 I did notice that as part of our preparation for this video we grabbed a 00:08:23.220 --> 00:08:30.300 64 gig kit of crucial ballistics how much RAM are we using right now let's 00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:35.700 take a look 23 out of the 32 gigs and the photo 00:08:33.539 --> 00:08:41.099 isn't fully rendered yet so hopefully 00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:42.479 we don't we don't overdo it it might 00:08:41.099 --> 00:08:48.000 already need the 64. I might have overdone it already but we'll see 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:52.680 okay we're back so after a little bit this is no finish for an effect though 00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:57.000 you can see especially in like the buildings like look how much of a 00:08:54.300 --> 00:09:00.540 difference that is I mean again this is a larger photo overall because I 00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:06.320 approximated what it would look like on the wide but you might say you were over 00:09:03.540 --> 00:09:10.800 compensating but yeah like especially in the bushes I 00:09:09.180 --> 00:09:15.360 am impressed at how I mean I shouldn't be that impressed by how seamlessly it's 00:09:12.540 --> 00:09:21.240 been merged yeah actually to be honest there's we did two takes of this and the 00:09:17.640 --> 00:09:23.940 second take did not fare as well there's 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:30.899 the other take and you see it didn't love this tree this tree is here fine 00:09:27.300 --> 00:09:33.240 here not fine yeah but yeah this is 00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:39.720 actually the third take trees like uh hello I'm I'm I'm I'm 00:09:35.700 --> 00:09:41.640 partially a tree yeah oh wow that's not 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:47.640 even close right because that that's this is one photo at 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:52.820 the tightest point and this is lots of photos right how long did this take to 00:09:49.680 --> 00:09:55.260 render like an hour 00:09:52.820 --> 00:10:00.660 so this is one of those things where okay maybe this new generation of laptop 00:09:57.779 --> 00:10:05.279 is only 20 faster than the old one or even only 10 faster but when it's a 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:12.360 render that literally takes an hour every 10 is another six minutes adds up 00:10:09.660 --> 00:10:16.680 so 21 000 by 10 000 is what we got out of about 70 photos of you 00:10:14.459 --> 00:10:20.240 damn or 70 photos of this area how many megapixels is that hold on a second 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:28.140 216 megapixels wow yeah I think we can 00:10:24.959 --> 00:10:30.000 do more we can do more but first we're 00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:34.980 gonna need to upgrade the rim now you can get the Creator Z16 with 64 gigs of 00:10:32.459 --> 00:10:39.480 RAM out of the box but I mean silly us how were we to know that we were gonna 00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:43.740 need to stitch together 200 photos so we went with the 32 gig model thankfully 00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:47.339 this also gives us an opportunity to show off that this is upgradeable that's 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:51.740 right my friends you can still buy professional grade laptops that can 00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:56.940 actually be improved it's not the easiest I really 00:10:55.140 --> 00:11:01.740 wish that these screws were not under the rubber feet at the back that would 00:10:58.620 --> 00:11:04.140 be that would be bonus marks MSI but 00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:08.220 being able to do it at all is like somehow 00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:13.339 um a win these days so I guess I'll take it or I can get it 00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:18.540 there we go oh yeah 00:11:15.420 --> 00:11:22.740 wow it's a small motherboard isn't it 00:11:18.540 --> 00:11:24.779 where is our m.2 drive oh oh it's got 00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:29.399 spots for two of them oh cool so there's still an open m.2 slot I just couldn't 00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:33.480 see it because it's actually on the Underside relative to where I'm looking 00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:37.800 at it from it's right here more importantly 00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:42.240 we can replace our memory 00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:44.339 crucial ballistics 3200 cl16 sounds 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:47.579 great and once you've spent this much on a laptop 00:11:45.420 --> 00:11:51.440 this honestly is probably a pretty good investment okay are you gonna go in 00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:58.920 you're gonna go in there little buddy oh Alex it's uh so skinny I don't think it 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:03.240 supports a couple sided dins oh my God is it just the difference in 00:12:00.839 --> 00:12:08.579 like the heat spreader thickness I think I have to take off the heat spreader 00:12:05.880 --> 00:12:12.360 it's like a metallic style heat spreader oh that's cute look at that got the 00:12:10.680 --> 00:12:17.160 little got the little imprints of the memory chip IDs 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:21.660 let's see if that fixes it totally did it's in come check this out 00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:26.579 David just to prove to you that I'm not making it up look at this 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:33.019 it will not hold on let me give it a line it will not go in literal actual 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:35.600 sticker okay 00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:48.060 I've never seen tolerances this type before in my life I mean that I've 00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:52.980 noticed obviously lots of products have pieces that fit together with that level 00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:55.860 of precision but I've never seen it 00:12:52.980 --> 00:13:00.240 actually matter like this this might be the best machine that I've ever seen 00:12:57.300 --> 00:13:05.700 from MSI loses some of the rigidity when you take the bottom of the chassis off 00:13:03.060 --> 00:13:09.779 still respectable though I've seen laptops that are worse than this with 00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:15.959 the bottom piece on MSI 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:17.880 and there we are 64 gigs of RAM six of 00:13:15.959 --> 00:13:22.440 which we're using already and it's time to give the reins back to Brandon so I 00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:27.260 actually have no idea what resolution this photo is going to be one billion 00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:31.980 pixels probably not no maybe like half a 00:13:29.940 --> 00:13:38.040 billion and this is just gonna be like this epic landscape picture it's uh it's 00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:39.420 a photo of White Rock Beach and people 00:13:38.040 --> 00:13:42.420 can download it in the video description maybe yes that'd be cool yeah at least 00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:48.959 on Floatplane I don't know if we have any way of hosting it reliably for YouTube viewers to be fair to anyone who 00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:53.279 does this method of taking photos this technique you do not need nearly this 00:13:51.660 --> 00:13:56.880 many photos to do this technique you could do it with nine photos we're just 00:13:55.079 --> 00:13:59.820 pushing it to an extreme that is completely unnecessary and not 00:13:58.500 --> 00:14:05.760 necessarily even the proper way to do it but we want to see if it works yeah 00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:08.339 okay so I've selected all 371 photos 00:14:05.760 --> 00:14:14.700 so I'm just oh there we go well it's not it's not it's trying to do 00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:16.800 it the bar is loading and we're out 21 00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:23.040 gigs of RAM and it's about two percent of the way I 00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:25.339 like my progress bars like I like my milk 00:14:25.800 --> 00:14:28.940 white two percent 00:14:29.160 --> 00:14:38.760 okay so the preview has completed oh no as you can see oh no there is a tiny Gap 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.040 tiny in this tree I think the word you 00:14:38.760 --> 00:14:45.839 were looking for was gaping well look how big the photo is comparatively also 00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:50.220 it if you look if we do if we undo the auto crop this is the pre-cropped 00:14:48.420 --> 00:14:55.800 version of all these photos so how did you manage to miss that I don't know 00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:00.420 a fell Edge Theory 00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:03.600 it will make us some trees and I will have not be I will not be concerned that 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:09.120 there is a gaping hole in this photo yeah because like you can't really just 00:15:06.420 --> 00:15:14.279 like go back to this no and just get just just take that one specific tree 00:15:12.420 --> 00:15:19.260 out to pull out the phone yeah okay we're good oh wow we're well over 32 00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:24.120 gigs though so the RAM was definitely an issue before and the fact that we have 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:28.320 64 is clearly helping in this case 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:30.120 filled edges oh nice pretty good you'd 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:35.459 never know there was a missing Square there yeah you're telling yourself they're 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:40.560 gonna know but yeah you can see 41 of 267 photos 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:45.959 were not able to be merged but that's okay because we still have a full photo 00:15:42.540 --> 00:15:48.899 100 yeah and Moment of Truth we're gonna 00:15:45.959 --> 00:15:56.279 hit merge we're gonna just let it go okay good luck everybody 00:15:50.940 --> 00:15:58.380 yeah the RAM is 100 helping yeah okay so 00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:02.279 well let's let it run yeah good luck everybody 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:07.740 so it's the next day since we are at the end of the work day yesterday but it's 00:16:04.199 --> 00:16:09.600 done it's crazy like look look at it 00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:12.660 it's actually pretty impressive and if we go into 00:16:10.920 --> 00:16:16.699 Lightroom you can see the resolution is 35 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:21.720 913 by 14 873. yeah so that's about half a 00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:25.940 gigapixel to give you some perspective that's 00:16:23.180 --> 00:16:30.300 34 megapixels if we did the calculator but the really cool thing is when you 00:16:28.380 --> 00:16:37.800 look at the photo in the photo viewer you can just zoom right in and we still 00:16:34.079 --> 00:16:41.519 have a lot of detail in here because 00:16:37.800 --> 00:16:42.959 it's just a photo at that distance but 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:47.820 a lot of them it's such a crazy effect because like 00:16:45.060 --> 00:16:51.360 it's a wide but there's like geese here that are just dots 00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:55.320 and then you just go in and it's like oh hello I can completely see this Goose 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:58.980 there's four of them there's a family right there yeah and there's like people 00:16:56.940 --> 00:17:03.180 in here that are just you can't see them at all and you go and it's like oh hey 00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:08.939 there's a guy and some birds and some cars the amount of detail is staggering 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.640 I mean I want to print this I think I'm going to print this and you guys can 00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:15.839 download it in the link in the description yeah I want to make a bunch 00:17:14.040 --> 00:17:19.799 of these I really love telephoto lenses and I'm going to just do this all the 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:23.640 time now yeah for anyone this is my first time using the brandeiser method 00:17:21.419 --> 00:17:27.480 and for anyone who was thinking if they wanted to try it give it a shot it's a 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:30.000 lot of fun maybe don't do it with 200 photos 00:17:28.620 --> 00:17:34.740 but um maybe like 20 9 to 20 you'll be 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:38.580 you'll be real good and if you're a wedding photographer in particular very 00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:43.200 useful freaking unbelievable thanks to MSI for sponsoring this video and for 00:17:40.620 --> 00:17:46.440 sending over your creator Z16 laptop I think we've demonstrated that no matter 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:51.600 what it is you're trying to do with it this is one capable machine the spec 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:55.559 we've got is 2600 US Dollars and then if you want to go to 64 gigs obviously 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:59.039 that's going to cost another few hundred but man is there ever a lot to like 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:03.299 about it everything from the performance to the display to the build quality 00:18:00.780 --> 00:18:10.980 freaking awesome if you guys enjoyed this video maybe check out our other 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:12.600 disastrous MSI sponsored laptop video 00:18:10.980 -->
