Excellent video Sergio and thanks for the tutorial, love the lighting, grading and editing, the Canon FD lens works so well on the EOS M. You certainly get the best out of the EOS M and take it to the next level, really enjoyed this, thank you very much
Great improvisation I like your appproach .. Fresnells fronts are so helpfull.. I have not used the newer digital liights only the old yellow tempature with ctb gel change in front of the bulbs in the 1970s area mole richardson 1k fresnells. Nice job here. I was always a fan of a tinny pepper light for a sparkle but always had it behind camera for a retnia .. which was way hotter then this setup . I hope more people play with softer lighting as you did and just have fun .. as you have shown is as a do it yourself
Fantastic stuff, love it! Really practical tutorial on lighting a scene too! How much budget would you say did you invested in your lights and accessories? This is an area I have not invested anything in yet... what's the minimum lighting setup one would need for the most typical filming situations? Maybe a subject for a future video? ;)
To be honest you can film great footages with any camera, but lighting make the difference. You can get great results with one light (and a lot of creativity), but surelly 2 or 3 lights would make things easier
@@russo-filmmaking I believe it... excellent advice and maybe you could make an educational video about which lights and hardware would be a must have for a beginner!? :)
Love it! I’m a very enthusiastic EOS-M user and recently have taken a liking to the 4.8K mode, but I can only shoot in 14-bit for such a short burst. I basically leave it at 10-bit or 11-bit. I would love to shoot in 14-bit to get cleaner shadows (less color noise IMHO). The SD card I use is the 256gb SanDisk Extreme Pro 200MB/s. Could you share your overclocking settings or any other advice that would help me shoot more in 14-bit in the 4.8K mode??? Thanks in advance. 1st
Hey thanks!! I follow your Channel, great footages. Your SD card is ok. If I shoot outdoor or in very bright environment I try to avoid harsh lights and hight contrasts. In these cases I use 4.8K 12bit leveling the exposure. For example me talking was filmed in 4.2K 16:9, 12bit because of a very bright source of light behind me. If I film in the night or generally in low light conditions I use 14bit without any problems. For the rest I have no other advice to give, my settings are the basic ones recommended for the crop mood: we have only take care of light.
@@russo-filmmaking First of all, I'm honored that you are even following me. Your content is GOLD! Secondly, thanks for the explanation about controlling light. Thank you for the details as well of your camera settings in different scenarios. Cheers!
I’ve been looking at getting a mirror less camera for filming (just starting out) and was looking at the Nikon Z range, but watching this has convinced me to look at the MUCH cheaper Canon eos M. Great work
Great recreation, very impressive! Thank you for taking the time to show us how you set this up. Did you feel the Godox LA200D and the fresnel was bright enough to get the effect you wanted? Happy about the purchase? I'm thinking about getting the combination of a 200w light with a fresnel too. Would be great to be able to make similar scenes. I'm on a budget, but there are some good deals out there now. Looking forward to part 2!
Thanks!! For little spaces to be illuminated the LA200D coupled with the Fresnel lens works great. The LA200 it's a very powerful 200W light, very bright, and cheaper compared to other lights with the same caracteritics. Coupled with the fresnel lens it duplicates almost its output.
I had thrown around getting FD lens (until I saw how much more they were than EF lens since everyone wanted that K35 look with the FD's). One thing I was wondering with the FD speedbooster I thought I had read it didn't really affect the crop it only allowed the lens to focus to infinity while on the EOSM? Does this indeed give a 0.71x crop to negate some of the 1.6x of the APS-C sensor?
If you use for example a 50mm FD lens F/1.4, like the one I used in the video, in 4.8K anamorphic mode you'll get a crop factor of 1.74X. If you coupled the lens with a 0.71X speed booster you're gonna get an aprox. 62mm (full frame equivalent) field of view (50mm x 1.74 crop factor x 0.71 speed booster) and an equivalen wide open aperture of about F1.8
@@russo-filmmaking okay so it's similar to using EF lenses then it actually does affect the crop factor which is nice. I may end up getting a FD speed booster as well then, wouldn't mind picking up a 28/50/85mm in FD at some point.
@@georgepeverill6116 I'm using the Pixco Speed Booster with excellent results and it gives that extra focal lenght that always it's welcome in a aps-c sensor
@@russo-filmmaking Mi hai aperto un nuovo mondo con questa EOS M e magic lantern , incredibile cosa esce da quella macchinetta!! Saluti dall Australia !!
I’m sorry I don’t understand your comment, because the video is about lighting and not cameras, and the camera I used is a Canon Eos M (about $230 dollars) and not an Arri Alexa
@serrus71 I know bro and I appreciate your work, but I am talking about camera's depth of field and dynamic range, I have same canon eos m mirror less camera with new firmware magic lantern installed, but blade runner recorded on Arri alexa xt studio camera, you can see difference between camera quality, I putting efforts on my eos m but I face problem like noise in my video , and one thing if I move my eos m and objects moving arround it's look more cinematic like motion blur but if I still my camera on one spot it is nothing and look like daily soap like normal mobile video
@@kingalhind425 Man, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, which is the movie we are talking about, was shoot on Eastman 35mm Film Stock using Panavision cameras in 1982. Nothing to do with the digital Arri Alexa you mention (it was used on blade runner 2049, in 2017 and other director, not the topic of this video). All people involved in filmmaking know the capabilities of an Arri Alexa not comparable with a Canon EOS M which cost is 400 times less expensive. If your footage look like a normal mobile phone, like a soap opera , it depends on lenses you use, how the scene is lighting and how you grade your footage. Even the most expensive camera in the world, like Alexa, Venice etc...., will look like a phone or soap opera if you don't get the right light and the right lens. All my video are shooting on a EOS M and I absolutely don't think they look like a soap opera, so the quality of your footage only depends on how you shoot, light and grade your scene, and not on the camera you use.
@serrus71 good man now I am watching your all videos and learn how to use lights and correct lenses, I am glad to watch your videos look more cinematic, thank you very much for learn us , God bless you
