Thanks! We determine the focus for the end frame and set the focus manually, then with a few tries, we ensure to hit that end focus point when walking towards the models.
Thank you so much!!! It's not a definite yes or no because they're from different segments and each has its own unique capabilities. However this is definitely something in our pipeline to compare, so stay tuned!
okay question. your first shot was on the gimbal with the BM6k. but there is no autofocus on the Blackmagics, so I don't understand how did it keep its focus from coming from 20 feet away to 5 feet away??
We have recently released an explanation video on how we nailed focus using a manual lens on a gimbal. Please find the video in the link below and I hope it helps!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HNhseRh0pFs.html
@@PlaybyPause Thanks for posting that. However, the video (I watched it. very good tips) didn't address the 3 dancing girls that you used the gimbal from about 15' all the way up to 5'. what did you do to keep focus on that particular shot? (I'm assuming just using a wide lens kept the focus)? because I didn't see you use a follow focus... just hold and walk with the gimbal. :) thanks!
Hi! You should check out this video because we have create a video that talks about this topic 😉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HNhseRh0pFs.html
Hi there! I hope it’s okay for us to explain in English as we are not familiar with the professional terms in Mandarin. First we determine the end focus point, get the manual focus right and follow through with the shot, it takes a few takes but we did not adjust focus while filming.
Since this video was shot entirely without any wireless focus puller so we’re kind restricted ourselves but let me share you some of the tips 1) keep the focus distance 2) use higher aperture 3) pull focus using another hand ( but it’s not advisable because it’s pretty hard to grab your gimbal with one arm) Hope it helps!
Hi Eric, here's how we do it, similar to operating any manual focus while filming: 1) Set your focus beforehand between your subject and camera, make sure your end point is consistent ie. have talent stand in the same spot or if you're the one moving, always pace yourself consistently so the focus wouldn't be off. 2) I'm not using a focus puller or focus controller so I pull focus with my unoccupied hand, but this has to be done a few times to get the shot tact sharp. It takes practice, do try it out and let us know if it works!
There’s 2 way of us doing this 1) keep the focal distance 2) rack focus manually with another hand Alternative method 1) get a wireless follow focus system 2) or get a camera with autofocus 👍🏻😉
@@PlaybyPause I have the 6k also but hate racking focus on the ronin with it. I’ve tried with the wireless focus also but can never get it balanced right
