Good stuff! I got my X-S20 in August over the Sony A6700. Though I agree that Log will always give you better results, for a beginner like me, picking one of those film recipes for talking head videos or even street videos is an awesome way to start! Keep doing your thing brother!
I did purchase an XT5 a couple of months ago and I am suuuuper happy with it, both for video and photo. I don't have the money to get the XH2S but this XS20 is going to be my main video camera for sure. I love shooting video with the classic chrome sim (K5600, DR100, H-2 S-2, color -2, sharpness -4) when the exposure it's right it just looks fantastic sooc. Great video! I would love to see more content like this about the XS20
Yo that’s sick! Yeah I’ve heard that the XT5 is pretty sick overall! I’ll definitely look into creating more content like this! I might even have to make a video with your recipe!
I legit think if Fuji would jump into the cinema camera market with the XH2s specs (at least as a starting point, as it’s sooo close already) and incorporate all their film simulations/customization options with it, it would turn a lot of heads. There’s basically no professional cinema camera that lets you easily create different film vibes and looks straight out of camera. Which seems like it would lend itself perfectly to a cinema camera. Who wouldn’t want to use their cinema camera to lean into old school film vibes from time to time? The s20 seems like the little sibling to the XH2s, now let’s see the bigger sibling to the XH2s. Do it, Fuji! Ha
yeah for sure! I think there's definitely a place for that in the camera space! fuji making a proper cinema camera would be wild! I feel like more pro filmmakers will still end up shooting log BUT if you could give the option for some more "filmic" characteristics, it could be a really cool addition!
Edward, your in cameras video looks more film like to me than tha small videos. I think that the way you expose them and the color palette you choose makes them ( your talking to camera videos) looks really cool.
Duuuuuuuuuuude finally someone does it!!! Great video, pretty awesome results too! I wonder how much more you do in camera to really create specific looks that give the film sim that chefs kiss. Maybe doing a video where you use film sims to create images from certain films with those film sims 🤔 Good to see you back, feel like I’ve been missing some good Edward videos lately!
AYYYYY Ben! You're too kind bro! I will definitely look into making a video with that idea in mind! I think there is a really cool video in that idea! but hey thanks for being here! much more content on the way!
Subscribed. Edward I always see you on the Cine Dailies channel. I love using this camera and cannot wait to buy it. A video on using it for streaming or podcasting on riverside/strem yard would be cool to see how you have the fuji look SOOC for such workflows
Yoooo thank you for subbing! that is freakin awesome! And that is a very interesting idea! I think you could really create a pretty unique look for your stream set up through this! I don't know if it totally fits into the direction that I want to go with the channel HOWEVER, I am going to be doing more livestreaming soon and I definitely talk about it on a stream!
Ayyy thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and samples! Also I noticed you subscribed so thank you a ton for doing that! Seriously means a lot!
Brilliant thesis, flawless execution. I’ve instantly subscribed. One question: did you use any filters at all? One moment of encouragement: don’t stop. You’re amazing.
Dang Timothy! thank you for all the kind words! I really really appreciate that! and THANK YOU for subbing! that's incredible! As to your question, I did not use any filters at all for the shorts or for the rest of the shots in the video!
Thank you so much! I’m making those cutouts using the magic mask in davinci! It’s super easy honestly and there’s plenty of videos out there on how to do it! BUT I’ll make a video to explain it for you!
Mate, great work! This edit is great. Could you (in short keywords) tell me how you made the edit with the film slide layer? Did you just over lay a 14:9 video track over a solid image or? Just anything so I can research. Thanks again
@@edwardcrockett of course dude, loved it! Shooting BTS is a pain on jobs, but I'm a big fan of following people along in their work, seeing the process, showing the journey. Love this style of video as well though!
Do you think xs-20 will be good at professional/lightly professional video? I am really considering buying it over A7C but i am confused should i get full frame or crop fuji. I already have an XE-3 and an 18-55 lens. So i am considering fuji. But do you think crop sensor is limiting your workflow? Please let me know.
Simple A7C doesn't have 10 bit video - the X-S20 would be a better choice in my opinion. I don't personally find crop sensor very limiting at all but it depends what you like. I personally enjoy being able to use smaller and cheaper lenses vs getting the most bokeh ever but now with lenses like the sirui sniper series there's also plenty of great options for bokeh. Honestly the x-s20 does everything I need and I would have a hard time justifying getting a better camera unless I absolutely needed 2 card slots @@param2014
Really nice video and interesting points out there Edward ! 🔥🔥🔥 Short question, have you sharpened the mini sample video in post / Or leave them with their sharpness settings from the recipes ? They look tackle sharp but maybe it's because you shot them in 6.2k in camera 🤔 Thank you for the good work 🌞
Thanks a ton for the kind words! When it comes to the sample videos, I did no color correction or manipulating of the footage besides cutting it together so that would be the straight out of camera sharpness you're getting and the funny part is that I believe all of those recipes have sharpness at -4 so I guess it's the magic of 6.2k!
an awesome concept! I sometimes find myself getting bogged down by color grading so using film sims are the best way to shoot for me and cover 99% of my client's needs honestly. Btw what lens did you use to film the shorts?? I'm an XT3 user but I'm going to be revamping my video set up and am planning on getting the XS20 and XH2S for client and personal work
hey thank you so much! I totally get that and honestly these film sims are a great way to get an easy but solid straight out of camera look! When it comes to the lens, that is the Fuji 16-55 F2.8! I honestly love it because it's just a super versatile lens for most projects! Lastly, that camera combo will be so solid! after making this video and having to return the xs20 rental to lensrentals i decided to go ahead and buy it so that's the same combo I'm rocking now as well! XS20 and XH2S!
can you make more video SOOC with those simulations ? Especially to see how the same recipe ( porta 400 for example ) will look like in the dark and light situations
Great video. From what I can tell its new that you can film using recipes. With my old XT3 its pretty much only the provided film simulations you can shoot with. Imagine Being able to shoot a gritty scene in the Fuji Superia 800 recipe with its already more desaturated tones and slight green tint
I've been filming with Fuji simulations also on my XS10. There's a small record button on top of the camera, and when I click on it while I'm on any pre-saved C setting, it just shoots with those picture simulations.
Hey man great video! I just got an x100v myself and have been loving it so far. Where did you get the sound effect for the photos shutter sound around 0:09?
Brilliant, searched for thus on a whim as I'm loving recipes on my xs20 for photos but never thought of video. Don't suppose it can save both raw/natural video and color graded one like it does with photos?
ya know sadly it can't save both UNLESS... it might be possible if you're using an external recorder because I think you can record a different format to HDMI and a different one internally.
Great video!! Do shoot with a monitor and use false color? Making me contemplate selling my Sony set up...Was thinking of getting the fx3 but I still want a camera I can feel good doing street photography with too
Thanks so much! and no i'm not shooting with a monitor and false color! I am just focusing on the histogram! but a monitor and everything would level the fuji system up even more! I'm looking for a small HD one currently! I will say, do whatever you want but I sold my FX3 for the XH2S and i don't regret it one bit but I don't know what situation you're in so I couldn't recommend you do anything without talking in depth
@@edwardcrockett I appreciate the reply!! Completely understand where your coming from...Its not a simply choice because everyone has different needs. But its safe to say i need a camera that can be flexible with my lifestyle and opportunities that take on a guerilla filmmaking approaches. I do want do more with supplemental lighting. Cinematography and being in control of my image is important to me. Maybe this is video idea for you? Either way i appreciate the time you put into this!!
@@brandonbarash9177 yeah for sure! I'm working on some cinematography lighting videos to hopefully help out with that! Stay tuned for sure and thanks for watching!
Where did you get your film like overlay effects that frame your footage?? I enjoyed this video! Still in limo weather to get the sony 6700 or the xs20. For short for content and youtube vidoes of no kore then 10mins
The film look overlay is from Tropic Colour and yeahh that's a tough one but I would honestly choose the XS20 because after using it during this video, I loved it so much I ended up buying it BUT I don't know your situation so I couldn't speak to what you actually need! just what I like using
I have an XT30 ii and I can’t find a way to use my saved recipes (for photos) while recording… Can someone please help or send me a youtube video? I just can’t seem to find it! I can’t make new ones and save them in the menu like you do for your photo’s. Any help is appreciated!!
Possible on all Fuji cameras but the xs20 and a few others shoot 10bit video which makes it a little better of a technique for to use with those specific ones
I set my C1/C2/.. dials to different recipes, but if I use video record functions with this dials, my ISO is jumping, so I can‘t set it to native (640). Do you know how to fix it?
Yeah that’s the thing! Nobody really uses them for video but 90% of the same recipe settings are available in video too so you can definitely use them for video!!
I haven't found this information online, but, whenever you apply a film simulation to a video, is the output still in a 10bit color space? or does it get converted directly to 8bit? It'd be crazy to have the colors baked in but the flexibility of 10bit to add some spice in post.
Okay sooo you do keep the 10bit color info as long as you select that codec in camera HOWEVER, because those colors are baked in, if you clip highlights in camera they aren’t coming back🥴
@@edwardcrockett Ahh!! That's actually great info. So it's somewhere in between, more flexibility than 8bit but not so much as flog. Noted! That helps a ton :)
Welcome Andy! Really appreciate the sub 🙏🏼 lemme know if there’s anything you’d like to see! I’ve got plenty on the way but also would love to make content that you’re specifically looking for!🤙🏼
