I started this thread as some might have missed it where I originally posted it, as the topic is not really for footage. So what do you all think? Any good? Is it "cinematic"? Color? Dynamic range? Noise?
 
 

damn i swear i just saw an interview with construction worklights as practical background decoration.... man let me see if i can find it... examples are definitely out there!

Will there be an iPhone 9? Or straight to 11? Im confused.

The thing with scientology is it isn't actually a religion, it's a cult and a money making ploy.
So the usual rules of not judging somebody by their religion doesn't apply to scientologists.
I instantly distrust them.
Watch the Louix Theroux documentary on it... very good and illuminating.

I redid the grade here, still crazy macro blocking in YT:
 
Also did a ursa mini 4.6k in 16mm mode - like the color better than the micro or pocket. better blues
 

It is also a great camera I will probably get one again in a year or so when they are cheaper. The EVF/OVF is excellent, better than on the X-Pro2.
My Q cost a few dollars less than two used x100f. So there definitely is some money to be saved as well.

Yeah. The DDFX filters that I have are 83mm screw on. I have a matte box for NDs.

If you zoom in 500% you’ll see its not a real horse, but tiny dots.

Check out this little Video i shot on the GH5, Metabones Adapter and the old Sigma 30mm 1.4. (that kendy one :-) ) and the Panasonic 20mm pancake.
Most of the Grafitti stuff was Shot at HD at 120 FPS. I should have used the 4k 60 FPS instead to keep the Quality with the digital zooms and reframes... 
Editing in Premiere. Just a fast Grading with Lumetri Looks.

To reduce sharpness without reducing resolution I'd highly recommend the Tiffen Digital Diffusion FX 2 filter. It doesn't cause highlights to bloom like the Pro Mist but softens the overall look. I keep them on my 2 Sigma Cine Lenses always.

I think the v-log footage you shared grades quite nicely...

GH5 I had sharpening at -5. The UM46K has no internal sharpening but I applied a little bit to match the GH5.
Well to be honest, the GH5 was closer to her actual look in real life, but the background was wacky compared to in real life. The Ursa handled all around color better but it does give her that slightly un-natural look (which I don't mind at all unless it's a beauty commercial).

I was planning on doing a more in depth test, but I only had a few minutes to spare during a shoot to compare the two cameras with our actress.
GH5 Settings: UHD, V Log L 10 bit, ISO 800, 24p, Sigma 18-35, shot at 28mm f4 using Nikon Speedbooster.
Ursa Mini 4.6K Settings: UHD, ProRes 422, ISO 800, 24p, Sigma 18-35, shot at 28mm f4.
Grade: I started with Comet Color A Side for the UM46K. Added a bit of contrast and saturation. From that point I tried matching the GH5's color/exposure to match.
Lighting was mixed conditions. Her face was lit with a Quasar Science 5600K LED tube + natural daylight coming in the window. Background lights were running at around 2600K. Walls are a greenish yellow color naturally.

I shot another video with the GH5 and SLR Magic 50mm 2x anamorphic prime. Calling it Chicago II. Here is one frame that is my favorite.
 

I decided to shoot a short sequel to my GH4 VLog video "Chicago." Recorded internal at 8 bit on the GH5. Handheld with IBIS. V Log L.
