    Music Performance shot on gh4 + voigtlander/nocticron

    All I could see was this guy's nose, definitely unflattering......

    Would have used a longer lens say an 85mm mixed with a wide 12mm and never shoot that close up with someone with that kind of nose, or at least frame it differently. Introducing a nice wide shot on a smooth dolly and an 85mm for your CU shots. I don't like the way the Voigtlander (42.5mm) looks way too sharp, especially combined with the brittle image of the GH4. Main reason why for Music Video 5D is still pretty much asked for time and time again.

    ​What would be the benefit of shooting on a 85mm? Smaller nose in the CU? I agree.. the side shot of the piano is too much with the nose size. 

    I used two lights with this setup with both lenses opened up at their fastest stop. ISO shot from 400-650 (ISO 800 for the slowmo shots at 72fps). Almost all of it was on a shoulder rig, except for the slider shot. 

    I kept the OIS on for the nocticron, which eliminates any micro-jitter. I love the lens, i think it compliments the GH4. 

    This was shot at 1080/100mpbs. I used the picture profile posted in the link below.

    Thanks for watching.

    Wow. That is awesome!
     
    I think the shoot could've benefited from a shallower depth of field, but I mean come on, one take? Very cool. Was someone pulling focus, or was it auto?

    Thanks! I was pulling focus while shooting. I had to throw some gaff tape on the zoom ring, as it was easy to nudge.
    I was stopped down at f 4 actually. Looking back I would have rather been wide open to get the DoF shallower... but in the moment, with riding the focus and hitting all the marks.. I was concerned about having something out of focus.

    Very cool! How many tries did it take?

    About 30 tries over a course of 4 hours. We had a camera rehearsal the day before.
