Great video.
I’m so interested in how you did the colors and the contrast in the original photo. I’ve been searching a tutoria/help to get that kind of image for so long.
Have you guys tried the Greg Gorman-Holbert B&W Conversion method? It uses LAB and luminosity method to increase the midtone contrast in black and white photographs.

Are you familiar to the method using:
LAB color,
delete the A & B channels,
lightness,
image mode grey scale,
adjust levels,
convert back to rgb color
The Black and White adjustment layer is so simple, and the most powerful, it should be the go-to tool for black and white conversion.
I didn’t realize you could do so much to convert a black & white photo
