It's all internal. Are you talking about auto white balance? If so, it's OK, but I find it shifts more than I'd like and can sometimes lean a little blue.
Holy moly, the colors are GORGEOUS. Good job! What color profile was shot on the drone footage? DLOG-M? What AF settings are you rocking, ever need to use MF for any scenes?
Thank you very much! Yes, lots of APSC. I do sometimes use optical flow and shoot in 30p for shots that don't have much movement (eg venue, room shots etc)
Love your work as always! With the S5ii when you're filming a bride by the window for example, or the shot of the dress at 1:13 ...do you expose a bit higher and bring it down in post or just expose for the windows from the jump?
Thanks! I used to be pretty strict about now blowing out highlights, especially with older cameras as those overexposed areas looked like a harsh wall of white. With the S5ii I find the roll off is so much better, as well as there often being some details preserved that I can pull back, that I feel more comfortable blowing out shots a bit. So it's really a judgement call that I make on a scene to scene basis. If I'm not sure, I might get a couple of versions; one that looks better according to what I see on the screen and once that's exposed for the highlights, just in case.
Stunning wedding film! I'm actually looking into purchasing an S5iiX for my wedding films too. Question, what settings did you mostly shoot in? Did you ever shoot 4K60? if so, was the crop ever an issue? Or did you mostly shoot in 4K24? Thanks!
Thank you! S5ii(x) is a great camera. We shoot a lot in 4k60 (crop) and don't have any issues with it. Would love it if it were full frame, but on balance I'm OK with it in order to have the other benefits of the S5ii. I do sometimes shoot 4k30 and use optical flow for certain shots if there's not a lot of movement in them (details shots and venue shots for example).
Thanks! This was a huge help. And yeah, hopefully their next model will have 4k 60 full frame haha. Appreciate you for answering my questions 🙏🏽@@KismetCreative
We bring along our Aperture 60x and spotlight the couple (often backlighting). We set it pretty bright as we want to keep the background dark, so we're actually exposing at quite a low ISO (I can't remember exactly, but that's the reason there's little noise).
Always love you all's videos. As an S5ii and S5 owner, yall give me the most inspiration, best in the game! I wonder, how much of your shots are handheld? At 2:25 for example, I see very clean subtle camera movement that looks like handheld but is too much for a gimble. Is that actually handheld or done in post?
Wow, thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it. So yes, lots of hand held and that shot (looking down at her leg) is handheld. I added the push in in post. I actually keyframe pretty much all shots in our edits so that I can help with eye trace as well as draw a attention to subjects. I also like to add keyframes to change up the energy of the edit (so up to 15-20% post-zooms on shots on the dance floor, for example). I just like everything to be moving and flowing. I hope that helps!
@@KismetCreative Woah, What do you use the s5i for? How many shooters do you have tho? Im planning to make a team here in the PH but no one uses Panasonics xD
@@Filmsimulation The S5i is for a safety cam. Actually I just realized the info in the description is out of date. We now have 3 S5ii's and 1 S5i. There's 2 of us on a shoot. Everyone here uses Sony so very few Panasonic shooters as well!
