I am really excited about the camera.  The GH5 ist such a great camera. But i saw few examples of the GH5 that looked really cinematic. If the GH5 ist about to change that: nice! I guess the GH5 will stay the Go to camera for documentaries, Life Concerts, travel Videos,  and everybody who is starting out (cheaper). But i am wondering wether there GH5s will be used in Independent Films and such,  in a way ( and amount) the A7s and A7s2 have been. I guess we will find out in the next 1,5 years. Or someone very  talented will juet show us what is possible with the GH5...

Hey, 

I am still wondering wether to buy a GH5 or not. Fact is that i have seen very few really cinematic material from the camera. I have shot three music promos with it this year. For examples the following (Last shots are BM Pocket). Overall i love the handling of the GH5. It's such a pleasure to use!

Or this one:

Now i have shot another vid using a a7r2 ( it's not released yet) and though the pictures were much noisier somehow the results are looking more cinematic.

I have tried some comparisons of both cameras and am still looking Into it. 

As some stills are looking very nice from GH5 material and the Slomo stuff is looking pretty cinematic as well, i am wondering wether there is something in the shutter in 24fps /25fps mode that gives the GH5 a bit of a video Look. I haven't found any information or comparisons on the web. Maybe one of you has seen something?

Hey Guys, 

check out this musicpromo i shot with the GH5. 

I tried to do some cinematic scenes. Check it out. Grading in Lumetri Looks with LUTs. I wanted to try more of a "flat" look. 

Woud love to hear your feedback. 

Has anyone tested this any further?

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.

As this is a miniature shot i believe it's a motion control rig and they are shooting stills. In that case the videofunction would only be used for setup of the shot.

Edit: Sorry, somehow i missed page two of the conversation where this matter was already discussed.

Thanks for the feedback!

Another little Musicvideo i shot on the GH5 with speedbooster and sigma 18-35.

Due to the  short turnaround ( 3 days) the footage is not graded. Noise is heavy in the slomo shots - luckily youtube smoothens it automatically.  :-)

Here comes another musicvideo. This time we tried to really  tried some stuff that we always wanted to do but never dared to. We started with several ideas that took us back to being 12 again when you started to shoot stuff on vhs. In the end it ended up with quite a lot of work - though it looks so trashy. Shot on GH4. 

Sorry, did not see that you asked for further information. I used the Samsung Gear 360. Plugin was from FX Factory! Rendertimes were really enerving - i don't know wether other plugins have better performance. 

I used the effect extensively on the following video and loved it :-) For traditional Film i think it could mostly be used in dream or hallucination scenes - though i am waiting for someone to use it in an action sequence. Especially with slow motion the effect could be very cool. 

Nice! What Lenses did you use? 

The postproduction workflow took some time to figure out. I edited in Premiere with an addional plugin for the animation of the 360 warp effects. It always needed to render which took endless time.. The colour grading was done in a baselight suite at Deli Creative Collective in Hamburg. Of course the heavy warping adds a lot of artifacts in the corners but i hope due to the fast edit this does not add up.

The matrix effects were shot with a gopro - no additional post except for a little crop.

Hi, 

check out this little Video. I shot it on a Gh4, a 360 degree camera and a gopro... Though the tiny world look is quite en vogue today we really tried to add something to it. Hope it works for some of you!

Hey guys,

 question close to Thobias one: how does the Canon 7D compare running Magic Lantern?

I am still hooked in Canon EF Lenses and would love to invest my money in my upcoming films and lighting instead of a new camera...

Peace,

Chris

Hello,

we just shot a little video with a german MMA Fighter / Hip Hop Artist.

We shot it on GH4 and GH2 and used a Cam-Mini 2 Gimbal. Luckily a friend at Deli Creative Collective graded it for us.

We would love to hear some feedback. We want to grow - as you know there are no limits ;-)

We added the video to the Sony competition and if you like to support us it would be great if you could like the video on youtube. (The youtube likes are needed to get to the next round)

Have a  nice evening!

Hi,

check out my latest musicpromo for Hamburg based "Neonschwarz". Mostly shot on GH4 with Metabones, Tokina 11-16 and Sigma 30mm 1.4. Love the 4K modus to make smooth transitions and "dollymoves"...

But also a few shots with the 700D  with kitlens - can you point them out? ;-)

Looking foward to it! 

Thank you!

Hi guys,

i have a question regarding the RX100.

Where do i actually switch it to the s-log mode? Do i just have to switch it to Picture Profile 7?

Best,

How does the resolution compare to the 7D? I am still waiting for the big article which was announced for "later this week".

As i own some canon glass and am shooting mostly music videos this option is quite interesting for me. I am using the gh4 with ef metabones adapter mostly, but i am looking for a nice photo / video combination...

Hello,

after some years of Canon DSLR stuff i decided to change cameras and went with the Alpha6000. I also ordered the  metabones smart adapter to use my lenses: a Tokina 11-16, 2.8, Tamron SP AF 17-50 2.8 Di II VC and a Sigma 30mm 1.4 old version.

Does anyone have experience using the Alpha 6000 with a smart adapter Mark 3?

I am encountering several problems with the Tamron as well as the Sigma lens. The aperture is changing on screen but not on the lens itself or sometimes takes quite a while to react. With the 30mm the recording even suddenly stops after some seconds.

Has anyone experience regarding this? I am wondering wether the lenses are not supported, wether the smart adapter does not work right with the A6000 or something overall is broken...

The Tokina works fine and the when the stuff works it's looking pretty good. I am also enjoying focus peaking. Of course it's the first day of testing...

Best,

C
