Maybe it’s just my personal impression, but the dramatic color palette is what actually makes this footage somewhat watchable. Sorry, I’m not trying to be a hater or anything. Your video popped up in my feed and I watched it. I feel like there is a lack of purpose-what’s the story behind it? It’s not fair to say gear doesn’t matter and make a video without meaning. I feel like I need to watch more of your stuff because I’m sure you know what you’re doing.
The GH7 matches impressively close to the Alexa... it's really an amazing value camera. Footage overall has a bit more of a digital look to it, which is expected, the Alexa sensor will always be more organic and softer than basically all mirrorless sensors. But when cutting the footage together with a proper color grade and watching the final product, no one will ever tell or care about the differences between the two cameras.
Hey Brady. I’ve been struggling with interiors lately. So my camera doesn’t let me manually dial in what color temperature I want or cant even give it a bump up in warmth or coolness. I can only rely on using a white card. My room for example has tungsten lighting but the windows are daylight. So when I white balance to the tungsten the windows get too blue and my room gets too white when it’s suppose to be a little warm looking. And when I balance to the windows then my windows are white but my rooms tungsten light is way too warm and orange. When I white balance to both of them hitting the same white card I actually get a more accurate reading but I still don’t exactly know why that is and I’m confused on this. I’m basically just winging it. Can you help me understand how to white balance in camera when working with mixed lighting in this case a tungsten source and a daylight source being my windows and getting the correct color from them? Thank you for all your videos
Love your nails bro! Seems like you’re in Cali or Vegas so I’m sure you don’t get too many looks but I’m in Nashville, TN and I painted my nails for months and so many people looked at me like wft is that. Also had people I know asked me why I would do that. 😂 Your content is dope!
@@BradyBessette exactly! The same reason people wear glasses, hats, or watches. All a part of your outfit or aesthetic and we like the way it looks. I’ve come to the conclusion some people will never understand 😂
I’m really hoping they bring some of the GH7 features to a full-frame sensor soon. Technically it’s such an amazing little camera and all the haters would be silenced if the sensor were larger. 😂 Great to hear your practical thoughts from use in the field, keep up the good work!
crop factor for effectively longer lenses is 100% a valid point to like. I will use my GH6 for wildlife shots all day long over a LF camera, because I can get the same reach with half the lens size (and cost).
No mean to be harsh but this particular shot on iPhone film looks interesting only within the context of this video. It doesn't have any interesting story or plot twist or anything that actually makes the film interesting so if this film was uploaded alone as it is, it is not going to be so interesting. In another words, budget does matter for good script writing, copy writing and narrative. Budget is not only about the shooting itself.
I got the original s5 and the s5II ... Amazing colors, and the V-Log it's amazing, this gh7 seems to be really great! I coming from the 6DII from canon, really big differences!
The cult of having a 50 pound camera with 10 thousand accessories and team to build it is breaking. Thank god. I'm done sacrificing my body when I can shoot with small cameras and get the same image. Use a speedbooster crop factor is a non issue then.
Yes thank you for the comparison, hopefully when your projects release you'll revisit and give us more details. I have a gh7 on preorder and think I'll keep it and definitely plan to get the arri log, given that other folks out there sell ARRI simulating luts for these camera, having something actually certified by arri is icing!
Lumix S5ii user here, you’re not wrong about the magenta shift! Always have to shift my image away from magenta when color matching to other cameras such as the fx3!
Throw on a PL speed booster and the GH7 is god tier. With 0.71x speed booster, you get an FOV slightly wider than super 35, plus you gain a stop of light. Not to mention all the PL lenses you get access to.
There are no PL speedbooster for the MFT that accept the wide variety of PL Lenses, The only one is made by Metabones and it only works with shallow Zeiss PL Lenses
LUMIX seems to be taking their main camera (S5iiX) and taking pieces away and replacing them with a gimmick like downloadable LUTs or ARRI log C3. It bothers me that people are falling for this. Putting Rosso Corsa paint on a chevy doesn't make it a Ferrari. A tiny, overpriced hybrid camera body with horrible dynamic range that uses tiny lenses cannot ever match a $100,000 cinema camera. Anyone pretending it can is crazy or trying to sell you a GH7. Also... what's the use case here? Somebody that owns both an ARRI and a gh7? Who does that? That's absurd. It's a useless feature that everyone is going on and on about.
There are tons of films that use small form factor cameras for shots that larger cameras are too big for. I don’t think anyone really thinks the GH7 fully replaces a dedicated cinema camera for large budget films. Having a lut to match it with Arri for those times when they do need a smaller camera is a convenience. It’s not a bad thing man, and for a lot of creators this camera is just fine
Share your thoughts... How do you feel about utilizing as a B-Cam to the Arri a BM 6k FF or Ursa Mini Pro 12k? Arri Alexa 35 (Ursa 12k Oplf) Arri Alexa Mini (BM 6k FF) & when released of course the new Ursa Cine 12k FF
Im si glad I didn’t just skip this video. I have watched soo many videos on white balance and none have been able to so simply explain white balance like you did. Thank you light master :)
@@BradyBessette you should just keep making the effect stronger every video until more people say something. 💀 Fantastic content on this. That new camera is pretty sweet for the price, really makes me consider it over the fx3. I wonder if Sony is gonna finally step it up this year.
Not with those colors, your better option is to buy CineMatch which is $149 ($119 on sale) which is cheaper than the $200 Panasonic is asking for this "Arri LOGC3" LUT
@@foljs5858 I agree there's not even a conversation when it comes to young filmmakers owning an Arri. I wouldn't say they're toast as studios will always rent Arri's for big budget work. All I'm saying is the GH7 won't match it. It'll be close as Brady showcased , but we can't expect Arri visuals out of a budget M4/3. My first cam was a GH5 , I have no bad thoughts toward Panasonic, just M4/3. If you can, get a Super35 or Full frame for the same price. Also being a full time Panasonic shooter I know first hand how digital the look is. You need to grade it quite a lot, but if you know you're shit, you're set!
@@foljs5858 I think is Arri was going to be "toast" they would've after the first affordable full frame camera came out. Different ball games, world's apart.
If you don't have close to the budget for even one Alexa, at least you can get close to the look with the GH7. And it will probably be "good enough" in most cases.
So now what I would look for in a camera is less about video quality and more about ease of use. Can you make a good, even cinematic video with a Canon 5D Mark II? Absolutely. But it will be a pain. You have to use manual focus. There's no in-body image stabilization, so forget about handheld shooting. The preamp is awful, so you might have to use an external audio recorder. There's also no headphone jack to monitor audio. The rolling shutter is atrocious, so forget about whip pans and maybe even tracking shots. There are no fast frame rates, so slow motion is out. The dynamic range is quite limited despite the full-frame sensor. There is a short recording limit, which is no good for long events. And, of course, the image is soft, even by 1080p standards. The best thing about newer cameras like the GH7 is that they make it so much easier to get the shot you envision. You can be more spontaneous and flexible about how you film. You can travel with them very easily, and you might not even need a tripod!
@@danieldougan269 You also forgot, most sets still use Focus pullers, Plus with the DJI Focus pro (Which goes on sale for $800) you can get top quality autofocus with a Full Frame to boot :)
@@itisme-fk3zf Magic Lantern can help with the dynamic range issue somewhat, but you have to hack your camera first (not for the faint of heart), and it's still no comparison to more recent cameras.
! Always dope vibes and video bro ! I want to let people know that It's much easier to match footage to the camera you're emulating when you have the actual camera on hand. Those without an Alexa wouldn't know the precise adjustments needed from shot to shot ! GH7 is amazing though 💯🙏🏽
