HA! I understand entirely about doing the once a week posting. Tried it for a few months and just couldn’t keep up. Took a break and now trying it again with a bigger lead time between shooting and posting, we shall see. Looking forward to seeing where you go with the channel.
I don't think you realized something here. Some people said the test isn't equal due to the aperture but that's wrong. The reason why these two look to be at a completely different exposure is because of Log. The canon 80D doesn't encode the linear raw data in log. What it does is transforms the 14bit linear raw data from the sensor directly into the rec.709 gamma. The Sony doesn't do this. It encodes linear raw data in log. Slog does this secret thing where it lifts up the exposure by 2.5 or 3EV to see into the shadows. So when the A7 III is at ISO 800, it's actually at ISO 100 in the analog domain and lifted up 3EV to ISO 800 during the log transform. This is why you can't go lower than ISO 800. Same way you can't go lower than ISO 100 in the Canon. Also the Canon 80D boosts its ISO in the analog domain meaning for each stop you go up, the voltage coming off the sensor into the analog to digital converts goes outside of the range that the ADC can handle, leading to reduced dynamic range in the highlights with some improvements in the shadows. This improvement how ever is however is completely done above ISOs of 800 (1135 to be exact). So going above that ISO value is useless. This ISO 800 is equal to ISO 3200 on the Sony side which makes perfect sense as the cameras like A6700 do really badly above ISO 3200 since it's an asp-c camera like the 80d. The A7III also has dual native ISO at ISO 5000 ISO 640 to be exact which is why it cleans up when it gets to 6400. So this test is quite inaccurate
thanks man! you're very much a part of that so let's keep talking about it 🙂 there's a lot of East Coast boys and gals who are interested in diving deeper.
BMPCC 6k. HHeld tips. I do a lot of impromptu street shooting. The 6k is my everyday carry camera. I go from the bag to recording street action in 6 seconds. I keep it rig free so it looks like I'm pulling a chunky DSLR out of my bag. These are tips for an unweighted camera taking full advantage of its SLR design. 1. Use the strap. I have mine attached to a Manfroto base plate. I slip that onto the Manfrotto quick release plate so its on the bottom of the camera and not getting in my way. Right hand on the controls, left hand on the lens, elbows in and you have three points of stability. Sigma 18-35 is long and heavy, use that length to soften movement with your focus hand. Practice. Keep note of your breathing. 2. Shoot shorter sequences. Are you building a scene or shooting Russian Ark? Most of my takes are 5 to 7 seconds. Switch on HFR. Nice. Think about your takes, do you really need to swirl around your subject? Are you showing off your cool or are you adding to the story? 3. Tamron SP 45mm F1.8 DI VC USD. Fast, has image stabilisation (Vibration Control) sensational for indoors shooting. The stabilisation is smooth with an effective zoom of 72mm. I want their 24 to 70 with 5 stops of VC. That would be way cool. 4. Squat down, get low, use your knee as a platform. Practice body glides, that is sliding your body from one side to another, often you don’t need to move the camera much. Use your torso. Practice. 5. When you get good at this you will command so much more control over your framing you will want to tell better stories.
@@collinausbury Thanks so much. I feel there is a moment that has not been acknowledged in the recent evolution of cameras and their operators that we are in the middle of. The camcorder or dad cam has suddenly morphed into serious film making equipment bringing with it (myself included) stills shooters evolving into moving image makers. No specific issue with that. However when it comes to RU-vid camera discussion so often the viewpoint is from a "content creator" overly enamoured with the features that allow them to vlog. The vloggers love the features that enable them to vlog. This creates a strange bias in what we value in gear versus the skills we practice and the way we connect with each other. So thank you again for a discussion about being behind a camera.
@inSurfersParadise I can’t tell you enough of how many times I see a video on someone claiming to be an expert or recommending a product that they’ve never used, or recommending people do something they’ve never done. What you’re touching on on the Vlog side is really important to notice, super valuable actually. Are we talking to filmmakers? Or are we talking to contact creators? Is this a hobby, or is this a career? Great questions, man.
This is pure magic. No pun intended. To be honest, I was really reluctant to even considering using dehancer. I always thought you could just achieve the same thing with nodes but DAMN. This absolutely blew me away.
Did you use a mist filter shooting this or was it just the sigma? Other than the ND I guess? Why use the ND if its in camera? Or is that a black mist filter? Thanks!
Wow dude you are talented! You deserve more views. I wanted to do videography but gave up a while back (was kinda broke and the standard lens that came with my d3500 just didn't give me the look i wanted. maybe I'm blaming my lack of skill on the lens haha), and your video has got me wanting to pick it up again.
Have you found a good workaround for exporting LUTs from Dehancer to be display LUT on the URSA G2? I recently picked it up and saw that the URSA isn't technically listed under their profiles which leads me to think they've only based it on Gen 5 Color. Problem with that is even if you change the URSA to use Gen 5 within resolve, its Gen 4 in camera and you get a much harsher and contrasted look because Gen 4 LOG isn't has flat as Gen 5
I'm just interested in photography but i think i can learn more from cinematographers. Photographers focus more concrete composition and shapes i feel like but i wanna focus on moods. I wanna capture places and things that make me feel something.
Awesome video. I have Canon FD’s but you have me interested in these Nikkors. Can I ask what recorder are you using to record your vocals? Specifically at the tail end of your video (the talking head) Sounds rich bro!
Thanks man. I use a RODE Caster Pro II. Overkill for this specifically. What’s cool about the RODE Caster is it has the preamp needed for the SHURE SM7B. If you use something like an H5N you’ll likely need to pick up a Cloud Lifter as well. Hope this helps.
I like the pace of your teaching, not too fast and not INTIMIDATING. For beginners like me, honestly, you're the only one that did not make me feel like I'm dumb and I got the skin part right away. I like how detailed you are with the buttons to push, how to change things. I'm looking out for more of your videos.
I absolutely love your review, thanks for sharing these clips that make the film on the vintage Nikon Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AI-S paired with the BMPCC 6K. I have a BMPCC 4K and looking forward to pairing it with the Nikon Nikkor 8mm f/1.4 when I buy one. I love your compositions, color palette and sound design awesomeness.
Great video! Looks awesome with the Sigma lens! How would you compare the 6K FF and Pro against the 6K G2? I'm considering the 6K G2 over the other two, because the difference of the 6K Pro pretty much only is the built-in ND filter. The 6K FF is full-frame, which can be worth it, but not sure if that's a big leap worth the money. I'm making narrative shorts, social media content and some documentary stuff. Currently have a rigged out BMPCC 4k (with ext battery, matte box and nd filters, ext monitor etc.) and I am also not sure if it is worth the upgrade to the 6k G2. The 6k G2 has a crazy deal of €1500 and if I sell the BMPCC 4k, it is only €400 extra for me to upgrade. The 6k FF is €800 more expensive than the G2, lol. Thank you!
for all you videographers out there: Get ANY camera that shoots 4K and beyond that it doesn't matter... I actually started watching this vid at 1080 and didn't notice when I bumped it up. Point is: concentrate on lighting and good lenses like this one. Don't chase the dragon of expensive cameras. It's all about lenses and lighting. You could shoot on a sony A7 and actually make an entire movie. Like something that could be picked up, if it were good enough. Don't chase the camera... put a lens kit and lighting kit together. (or use good natural lighting.)
Does anyone have any recommendations on lens filters for these? I shoot in a lot of daylight scenarios and want to shoot with the wide open. I just bought a 24mm and 50mm. Any suggestions would be great!
Hey man, just wanted to let you know that I really loved this video! I got this lens from my father. But sadly never really use it. Such nice shots! Hope to see more content from you! Best
@@collinausbury no way that's awesome, I was actually really impressed from the beginning with the decision to go with stable, locked off shots in a youtube world where there's all the movement (when unnecessary) and fancy cuts (which I've definitely tried to mimic myself in the past lol), really allows for the the viewer to take in the scenery and breathe. 👏 👏 I got a (relatively smaller) duffle bag and put 4 square pillows in it that I want to try out as a stabilizer too so this video gives me even more encouragement to do that 👏
