Thpriest reacted to Mark Romero 2 in Wedding videography advice
Well, the video looks awesome overall except for that one part. I shoot Sony so any time I see supersaturated rolloff, I tend to think that it is a Sony.

Haha, it was shot on a GH5 with a SLR Magic 12mm if I remember well. The blown out sun looks a lot worse on Youtube!
Some parts were filmed by drone. I can't remember which.

Looks like it was really shot using a Drone. Translates to "Spectacular wedding in Avila with drone". Could be a big ass drone carrying a Canon C700 for all I know but.. LoL.

That is a really good video. I am guessing it was shot on a Sony camera judging by the sunset at the 0:43 mark (either that or they were testing an atomic bomb explosion in the background).

Here's an example with Portrait (Dunno why it starts at 26 seconds. Scroll back to the beginning please!):

Thpriest reacted to Dave Maze in Panasonic announcing a full frame camera on Sept. 25???
I heard after we filmed this video a rumor from a rep that the Panasonic S1/R may do raw internal. Anyways, here is a top ten video going over some things I haven’t heard a lot of people talk about

Thpriest got a reaction from webrunner5 in X-T3 or Pocket 4K?
To follow on from my last post, I'd be more than happy to get Fuji if it could do all the above. It does have a very pleasing look. To my eyes Fuji, Canon and even Olympus have special looks that are just attractive to my eye.

Thpriest reacted to Oliver Daniel in X-T3 or Pocket 4K?
None of these recent camera releases has persuaded me to parts ways with the GH5, here’s why:
- Ergonomically awesome for video with loads of custom functionality. Feels MADE for video.
- 10 bit 4:2:2 codecs are very strong.
- MFT sensor, while Speedboosted, is easier to focus than a full frame sensor. Very adaptable.
- Great battery life.
- IBIS is excellent.
- EVF and Flip Out LCD are awesome.
- @Sage Alexa conversion makes it a different camera.
- Anamorphic modes.
- Monitor LUT - super useful!
I’ve tried the AF on a gimbal with the GH5 and it works quite well. Not Canon or Sony level, but decent.
Theres features in the other cameras that look appealing, but the way I view it, how much will it change my videos?
I’ve opted to spend and upgrade my lighting to a full Aputure setup and camera movement. These things directly influence the picture more and invite increased skill and knowledge in composition.

Well refurbished / secondhand they seem to often go for sub US$1.5K ish??
And GH5 still has features which are better than the X-T3, such as waveform monitor, full size HDMI, anamorphic, etc
Yes, the GH5 is showing its "age" now (only a few months away from 3yrs since it was announced), but it can still hold is own as a competitive all round option to choose. (especially if you already have a collection of MFT lenses/adapters, like myself and many others would)
Having said that, I likely won't buy a GH5 any time in the next year, but hoping to get a Panasonic G85. But in no rush, I can keep on waiting for their price to slide on down. Hoping for the next low end G series to come out soon (as two of them got released between the GH4 and GH5, but none since the GH5!). Which will then push down the G85 price a lot on eBay

Thpriest reacted to DBounce in GH5S or X-T3?
I set the GH5 upper ISO limit to 1600. After that it gets noisy. The GH5S is much better in low light. The X-T3 is at least as good. I'll do a side by side test soon.

Thpriest reacted to Jimmy in Wedding videography advice
Why not just move the sun while she's at it!?
The bride and groom are going to want things they cherish from the day in frame... The church, the venue, the grounds etc. Sometimes you might get an angle that also gives good light, sometimes you don't.
How can you have shot weddings and have this little awareness of what is possible and not?
"I'm just going to position you next to these grave stones as the light is better than when we have the church in frame"

Excellent, so you can show us some work then? Which I'm sure we won't harshly and unfairly rip into with no thought to context or the conditions you worked under.

Thpriest reacted to Shirozina in Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
Which native zooms have a 1.2 aperture though? Agree it's not a workhorse / walkaround but it's got exceptionally good IQ ( doesn't need software distortion correction like native M43 lenses), low light ability and it's a zoom! I'll only use it in low light situations as the amount of ND filtering needed for bright conditions is an issue esp if the IR filter on the P4k is not that effective?

Thpriest reacted to eyesuncloudedphoto in Panasonic announcing a full frame camera on Sept. 25???
There is a rumor (or is it confirmed already? I don't remember) about a new firmware update coming up for GH5(s)/G9. Could it make color science more consistent among cameras? Can it be done with firmware only or is it too much sensor-specific?
If Panasonic gives us an updated color science which is more or less the same in their whole line of cameras, they will dominate everything. This and high-performance video AF is their only relative weaknesses against the competition.

Thpriest got a reaction from Stab in Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 AF for stills!
I have tried it a couple of times and it seemed reasonably accurate but not very fast.

Thpriest reacted to Oliver Daniel in My new music video showreel!
Hey Everyone,
Here’s a bunch of stuff I’ve shot, graded and edited for music videos between 2012-2018.
The shots in the reel not done by me are the drone shots.
For you camera nerds, I used......
Sony FS700, FS5, FS7, F55, A7SII, A6500.
Panasonic GH3, GH5.
DJI X3, X5R.

Thpriest reacted to Stab in Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 AF for stills!
Is there anyone here with the GH5 / GH4 that shoots with the Sigma 18-35 on a (Canon) Speedbooster and can tell me something about the autofocus when taking stills?
Is it accurate? And is which mode is it working the best? Would I be able to trust it for shooting stills?
I shoot with the Nikon version of this setup now, thinking I would never need to shoot stills, but since recently I get asked a lot to shoot stills. And I love this lens / combo.
Anyone who has tested it or could test it for me? Thanks!

Thpriest got a reaction from OliKMIA in Show Us Your Best Video
Not sure if it's my best work but it's my favourite. A small room, a builder's light (kind of light bulb with a hook) and 20€ plastic cctv lens and the GX85. I think it captures the group well...intense.

Thpriest reacted to Kisaha in C100 - Mark I, Mark II, or just wait???
The low light of the C100mkII is amazing. 4f is great.
I enjoy the 18-135 as a cheap run n gun in some jobs.
The 24-105 is ok. In works we either prefer the L series (ultra wide, 24-70 and 70-200) or the 18-135. The 24-105 is lost in between those, rarely used.
I would love an C100mkIII (yes, the next one with touch DPAF) coupled with the 18-80 and 70-200 cheap CN-E lenses.
Again, in a market full of specs and imaginery uses of them (that never occur), I admire your pragmatistic and realistic thought process.

Thpriest reacted to jpfilmz in C100 - Mark I, Mark II, or just wait???
Is the 18-135 the stm version? when the lighting conditions are good its my favorite handheld run and gun lens for the c100 due its light weight and stabilization. It also can use the face tracking autofocus. see 1min mark below.

Thpriest reacted to ShaunC in Wide angle lens for Panasonic GX85 | Help
I had the SLR Magic 12mm “old version” too. Sold it. Worst decision I ever made. I really miss that lens.

Thpriest reacted to Matt Holder in Wide angle lens for Panasonic GX85 | Help
im interested in the voigtlander 10.5 too (which gets even wider on the gh5s with the reduced crop factor) - its a lens that is surprisingly un loved on line though. Right now I use the Olympus 7-14 and its great - but it has to be locked down - even on the gh5 / Gx85 the IS does not play well with the super wide angle - i think IBIS and super wide angles dont play well as the lenses are actually really sensitive to making small moves look big (i know its counter intuitive) - the sweet spot for wides on IBIS seems to be around 12-15 mm
