Grimor

Thank you very much for the feedback dear friends.
It is very stressful to make these types of videos when out of 15 people, only 2 really know what they are doing, and the rest are waiting and chatting. So I must dedicate to adjusting the lights, the camera, the set, explaining to an administrative staff how to turn on and start recording the mixpre. Unpack the sweets, distribute the sugar, help to dress the companions ...
Two different locations in 6 hours in total.
The total production budget was 0.
In the end you can't be at all ...
Luckily more and more people want to participate selflessly in our projects, so I think we can only improve for the next time.
I leave some photos of the filming.
 P.S. At the end of the day, the administrative person told me that he did not know why the battery level went up to the red zone and to the green zone so fast. It was the audio level (vu meter) and he thought throughout the recording that it was the state of the battery. At that moment I wanted to die 🤣

As usual in recent years I have been making a Christmas video for the police force where I work.
This year with more sense of humor, parodying Breaking Bad.

No professional, all who appear are police officers.
GH5S + Sirui Anamorphic 35mm. Hope you like it.

Conclusion: fresnels are a lot of fun

Don´t forget that years ago most cinema lights were fresnel

I just learned about this and it's nothing short of brilliant. Did anyone ever post their results?

More than 3 years has passed and I still usin slider app. 

It's a shame, because the camera is able to send and receive timecode continuously. This can be seen during the TC Link process (in and out) the TC operates continuously. Once it is paired, it starts working independently. It would be software fixable in an update if they had the will.

Glad you seem to have sorted it out!
 

But you showed earlier that the MixPre3 was set to 30fps?!

  

If you run into trouble again, would you mind posting this in English please? So I can read what it says. 

My bad, sorry. 

This is the options that works for me. 

Drop Frame (DF) only can be selected on NTSC (60hz) system frecuency.

Usually I get the exact time, or only 1 frame dropped. 

About selecting frame rates on both devices, it seens not possible or necessary when using the hdmi protocol. Sound weird but is autodetected or always running/counting 25fps. 

Well, I just found the solution to my problem. The Drop Frame (DF) option on GH5 must be activated to compensate for the delay of the HDMI connection. The point is that I used PAL system frequency and under this frequency the DF cannot be activated. So you just have to switch to Cinema or NTSC frequency system to unleash that option.

What other options do you have in the settings of each?

You're sure you have the FPS set to exactly the same in both?? (none of these 24 vs 23.97 mistakes)

Thanks again, IronFilm. My configuration of both devices is the one that appears in the photographs. Now I have updated both mixpre (v7.14) and GH5s (v2.x) to the latest version and it seems that I only suffer from drop frames fron the beginning of jamming. 2 or 3 frames of delay currently, which seems to stay in time. So now I don't have that drifting so visible to the naked eye, but those lag frames make post syncing unfeasible. Now it occurs to me to try a new mini hdmi cable that is faster (2.0, 18gbps with ethernet?) To see if things improve. Also, I don't know how the drop frames function is activated in the camera, nor do I know what the Ubits of the sound devices are ... So I will continue to try things and listen to the advice you give me. People like you make this community so great. Thank you

Yes and yes. I'm on free run mode if it's relevant...

 Thanks iron for your help.

What do you mean "drift", what exactly is  your process?

I will try to explain what happens to me: Currently I only have GH5S and Mixpre 3 II connected via hdmi. Rec trigger and jamming seem to work fine. But when the mixpre takes the time that the cam sends, it does exactly 1 frame behind. After about 10 seconds, the count again loses another frame. And so it keeps losing frames. I have checked that the frame rate matches on both devices. My ultimate goal would be to synchronize multiple short shots, usually not more than 1 minute, during the recording of short films and video clips. I do not intend to sync long videos takes.

Late on the party, but any news or workarounds for this issue?? 

I just bought a used GH5S and found hdmi timecode drifting so badly with my mixpre 3 II. 

I have no proper TC cable  yet (bnc to 3,5mm) so I can't test the flash TC port.

Thank you very much for your help, the problem is resolved and my camera is back to factory default.

I do not have the service manual, so I wasn't aware about the above pages.

Forgot to mention that my camera is the G80 and is giving me the "error 0A" when press the WB 2 times in order to restore it to the factory default.

Anybody has any idea has to resolve it?

Thank you,

George

I think you have to push "disp" button to exit "strict mode" first. 

Is on page 18 of the service manual

Yo me se un truco bueno, Juan

For this kind of work I think that audio and lens are more relevant  than camera itself. 

Anyway I just bought a second G81 body (secondhand) with 3 batteries for 350 EUR. You can't go wrong with that (IMO)

Hi Ben and thank you for watching my work! I´ve been enjoying yours right now, I liked a lot. I only have shot once in 16mm here in Spain and the workflow is not simple (there are no labs in Spain), so even I would love to try it again, I have many other preferences right now to learn and improve...and spend money, unfortunately ajaja. I just started in the DIY anamorphic world now and I want to improve my gear in this area...but in the future, I would love to shot in film with any doubts so I will start to look for those K3. Thank you again.

Eres Cordobés? Un saludo desde Málaga la bella!!

Hi Bozzie, what are the options available on bmpcc 4k for 2x anamorphic?

Guess a good way to buy that new camera you want without your wife knowing 😄

I know people who buy "B" Sim card this way!! 😂

Legal or not, if you re-upload to YT a video with material from others, they always can monetize your video, block from some countries/devices or even ban fron the platform.

impresive 👏👏

I had a sneaky suspicion it was going to be a rehoused A7SIII. The shutter release was an obvious tell. It's definitely a lazy move from Sony. That said, if I were in the market for an A7SIII I just might get the FX3 instead. I'll take a fan over an EVF as well as the mounting options. Hopefully they do give it at the very least S-cinetone..

That's the last video posted here was saying. 

An A7SIII "drone edition"

I've done it, need to do more testing but seems to work well and the audio is clear: https://webboggles.com/external-mic-jack-mod-for-lumix-gx80-gx85/

Are you recording external and iternal mic at the same time? In this case you need a 3'5mm stereo female jack,with inner swicht (normally closed) that disconnect inner mic when Jack is plugged. 

Merry Christmas !! 

I use Proshow Producer to make basic animated slide shows and then insert on the video when needed. (examples at 1'35" & 2'30")
