You should work in their marketing dept. which is non existent. Probably more marketing in your comment and this video than LG have managed to do the last 5 years for their phones. At least in Europe. Love the V series!
@@magnusfiskvik509 thats what everyone says even in the US. LG is superior to samsung. better camera. Better battery (look up v30 vs s9 comparison) Faster, runs heavy games great, QUAD DAC high fidelity audio only brand to have that. OLED screen gorgeous.
Thanks! Just sold my Arri and Reds and upgraded to a complete set of these phones! My cameras before, were never able to make a phone calls on them, now I can! Thanks!!
I got the LG V30 phone from a friend and had no clue that it was also such a powerful video camera! I watched your video comparison twice and I thought that the cell phone footage was actually better than the one taken with the other, professional camera-amazing! Anyway, thanks for creating this video, I find it extremely informative and helpful!
Wow, mobile cameras has gone a long way. You could definitely tell that the LG had a lot more haloing effect to increase its sharpness, and that the RED camera had much nicer color and better detail along with its natural sharpness. But if you told me that the V30 footage was from pro grade camera, I wouldn't doubt it at all.
I'm not easily impressed, but I am. It is so clear to see in your video that it it's the creative direction, not the tools, that create cinematic masterpieces!
Without V30 this video 8s failure. Prove it if you can. Try to do the same with any iPhones/galaxies which was available during the V30 period. I challenge you.
@@MyPowerman12 yeah people passing in this video is not aware on Parker's background, They will be damned to know it. Having those free comparisons just an honor to everybody in the industry.
CyberEditing, Normally technology drops in price through time, in order for the cell phone companies to continue high prices they must keep adding tech to the toy. Imagine what we'll have in even 5 years. I have the V30 and it just about obsoleted my D800 Nikon, 1000+ lens as well as other cheaper lenses.
FireZek bitch slapped in terms of camera quality i believe. And even now on some social media platforms the android camera quality gets downgraded for some reason.
This is great example of how the shot composition, lighting (natural or artificial), pacing, editing, sound design, music, story/flow, etc. all play a big part in that "cinematic" filmmaking. A lot of times we remember how much we liked a particular film or scene, but forget that many times it's the story, the music, the characters and their expressions, sounds, etc that play a big role in making that memory and connection. Sure the cameras have their own qualities to nitpick, but so much more went behind you putting the scenes together. I'd almost tell people NOT to get something like a RED unless they can afford the other necessary tools to go along with it for a good film. In this case (of this video), if you only have the money to buy a RED, don't expect to get everything you see in this video right away. You might be better off buying a less expensive camera, so you can get the lenses, the lighting, book the locations, assistants, hire actors, stabilizers, drones, editing techniques, time to learn, etc. If one is growing in their skills as a photographer or videographer, we shouldn't say "I can't get a good shot on my phone, I need my $2000-$10000 camera. Be right back!" We should be able to say "Hey, I'll just use my cameras to shoot this mockup and not miss this shot...don't worry, I can make it look good!" That's the place I feel we should strive to get to. Great work and examples for us! hanks Parker
This video has inspired me to create stuff with this phone i didnt think was possible. It made me realize, its not about the camera, its if you know how to use it
OK so the main camera on the v 30 takes great photos in manual with 10 bit RAW< but those basically mandate some editing to look good Use these apps below to get pixel-quality photos at the tough of a button I've been using them for the last year on my G6 and I can tell you : THEY'RE AMAZING p.s. portrait mode works too on all 3 cameras drive.google.com/file/d/1NW4gz96vMeHyJl7YusebSffUf1OaNC5Z/view drive.google.com/file/d/1P4Stv-GlvfrRsTtHP25eggPp8uhLFWyx/view
Just saw this for the first time today - passed to me by a fellow stock footage aficionado... I bought my V30 because of it's features and because of the built-in software, not to mention it's ability to go from off to shoot in record time. It's manual options still beat many of the smartphones out there. Because of this, it stays in my kit of things I can use to take quality footage to sell online. There's times when my Sony Alpha can't compete, or if it did compete, the ease of grabbing the phone, dropping it in a stabilizer, and taking the shot is far easier than setting up the Sony. By the time the Sony is setup, the scene is often gone. Plus, there's so many more margins of error with the Sony. So yes, these kind of smartphones are going to stay in videographer's kits for many years to come. There's no reason why not. You're going to carry it anyway!
tell me , is this phone still relevant ? i am planning to buy V30+ and only concern is it was launched 2yrs back so many new devices in market now . just don't want another eaten apple in my box
You still need to spend around 1,500-3,000$ for the drone, and gimbal for smooth footage. 100$ for the editing software. 30$ for the SD Card. 800$ for the phone. 1,000-2,000$ for a well capable p.c. Audio Recorders and Microphones for better audio, 250-1,000$
Theft Tv still great compared to the millions of dollars that professional filmmakers need. We're talking about a phone that produced similar video results to a $50,000 camera
LG video had too much contrast and saturation in the color grading. If the color grading had been less agressive it would have looked even better. Of course the Red wepon is an 8k camera and this was all shot during the day so just about any 4k smartphone camera would come close with proper color grading. Night time shots would be very different. Overall smartphone cameras have improved enough that in the right hands and with decent lighting you can make great videos.
The best thing about this is you can use and bring this everyday in regular family gathering. Imagine telling your family to smile and say hi in front of a RED.
The important thing to note is, we don't have to like just one of them. Sure, the 50k RED blows the LG V30 out of the water, but at the same time, the best camera is the one you'll always have with you. In a small package, V30 is already damn impressive.
@@richhilman maybe not the words I would use, but the RED did resolve a lot more detail (the lens) and the panning was smoother. The mobile camera had a jellowy look at times and showed judder.
RED footage was of course way smoother with better dynamic range, but we're talking about a camera specially built for filmmaking costing maybe 100 times more compared to a LG smartphone with very good optics that fits in your pocket! Smartphones will never have the video quality of high-end purpose built hardware such as the RED cameras, but they are getting close enough that the untrained eye may not even consider that the footage would have come from a smartphone, and that just shows how far we've come technology wise.
It's amazing how far we've come. And the LG actually holds a number of advantages because of weight and size, you can use it in a lot more situations and with a lot less expensive gear (drones, stabilizers).
Killed it! And yes I may be just a face, but that didn't stop me from trying to do my own stunts! haha Great job Parker! Loved the shoot and end product.
I love the fact that you are being really transparent about the sponsorship!!! I just resgistered to your lifetime Fulltime Filmmaker Academy and I'm super excited! :-D . Thank you for sharing your experience and talent with all of us! :-)
People still buy stupid iPhones... I am LG loyal customer... Never turned back since my LG Cookie till LG V series...Waiting for LG V50. This year I am gonna skip it since I need to find money for my studies.
@@RecordLifeMedia Nope. I'm almost ran out of money and I need to find money for my studies as well so this year I won't be able to buy hence I'll wait untill next year for the successor of LG V40. That's what I meant 😊
I would say the RED Weapon did a better job this time. It highlighted shadows a little better and colors were a bit more vivid. Although, the V30 is sooooo close! Impressive!
And I can say when a true professional get behind the camera.. it does not matter if it's an smartphone.. he will get the best of it.. hats off to your work guys..
Really stunning footage. Hard to believe you had this from a smartphone. I could see additional detail in the RED, of course, such as the clouds, but really amazing for a smartphone. Obviously, the guy behind the camera makes all of the difference but I can't blame the tool when I shoot with the V30
Both look great, the V30 seems to be too vibrant for me compared to the RED, also the focus on the V30 seems to be a bit funny from scene to scene. It's an amazing camera especially when comparing prices and size!
Simon you can adjust the vibrancy because it records the video in log without effects. it's all added later. that's the point. so just lower the vibrancy in the post processing
kugick why? The iPhone doesn't have an SD card slot. Even if it was better what good is it as a film camera? You're not going into the mountains of Utah and filming on an iPhone of any kind.
The shutter speed on the phone was faster showing clearer shots when paused. The phone when paused wasn't focused as well as the red camera. Damn awesome footage from the phone though. Shocked me!
The huawei p30 pro doesn't have good video quality....What it has good only is the zooming ...Of course lg and sony is better in overall camera performence..... Huawei p30pro is actually overhiped and if you are looking for a smartphone. Which is good at every side...Samsung Galaxy s10 is the perfect
adithya shukapuri From the looks of this video you can. Though it's actually been done in Hollywood before. There was an acclaimed 2015 film that was filmed entirely on an iPhone called "Tangerine".
Same man, that is just mindblowing. I just got the G6 after having a Stylo (1). Camera(s) are insane. LG definitely has me stuck in their loop. Not one of the giants (Apple+Samsung) and they have some incredible bang for your buck - granted this phone is pricey. I love having people ask me what my G6 is. And the manual focus outlined in green is just breathtaking. I mean that 100% literally. To have such an awesome manual camera in my pocket at all times is just hard to comprehend. I do wonder if the V30 is capable of 60FPS with Stabilization, because my G6 is either 30FPS with Stabilization, or 60FPS without it.
you ruin thesposor Why you do that .. do you get paied let every company do their job to get more fans and to give them the corage to bring's us somthing new i like this phone and the camera is good and i havn't seen any bad review about this phone .. it is one of his kind look very clearly at the phone design and package you got a good camera good CPU 4Gb ram is enouph 64/128 gb storage dual camera fps on the back face unlock 2k oled display a Quad dac and 3 Mic 16bit recording with no noise the best screen to body ratio for me and slightly curved on the edges ip68 water resistant cons Nothing only maybe the front facing camera it's 5 mp but the resolution it's has no relation with Quality its good for selfie instagram w nad snapchat
It will NOT match the Red. Different Lenses and Sensor size affect sharpness, brightness, bokeh, among other things. By the time LG comes up with a phone better than the Red Weapon, which they won't, RED would have released a 16k Resolution Camera. The Red Weapon itself is 8k Resolution.
@@call-me-a-dreamer7339 I LOVE this phone! You can use the phone non-stop without charging it for 2 days. The speakers are AMAZING, the camera is the best, the storage is great and it has many other fantastic qualities!
I can see that the LG v30 footage is more crisp and vibrant colors. LG V series of phones are by far the best way to go when looking for a device that doesn't cost an arm and a leg but still packs a punch.
They mixed the red camera images with the V30 ones, its so obvious, there are parts of the footage which are the V30 ones but very few, its like 75% fake
@@2004FordRangerXLT this video is pretty much an LG commercial. Not saying the V30 is bad and the camera is bad or anything, but its wildly over the top
@@MrDeLaCruise are you guys even using log profile and manual settings? A big part of getting good results is having skills. I don't know if this is has been taken with the phone or not for sure but most of you guys simply go full auto and that's just hilarious if you expect to get amazing results using full auto on any phone. If you use manual controls you can get pretty stunning video out of these LG phones. I have the LG G7 so I know what I'm talking about. You can also look for the LG V60 8K video from Dany Winget
Yeah, on first glance the V30 looks better until you realize that's because of color saturation and contrast. Nothing beats a real lens and big sensor, however, for detail. But the V30 looks awesome and the in-camera controls make it a real winner. Thanks for doing this video!
I guarantee this exact same youtube clip could have been done to the same effect with any other phone, iPhone or Android, and you'd have still said the phone version was better. People always underestimate how powerful postwork is, and how drastically it can improve the perceived quality of a photo/video.
I'm really surprised. I actually enjoyed the V30 footage more than the RED on most of the shots. It's a little fuzzy and over saturated, but it looks really good. It's too bad the v30 doesn't come with a film degree because I'd have no idea how to do this shit if I had one though.
XDeadzX I think you didn't understand something here. The guy shot the video in LOG. Means the colour of the video was very flat and looked very pale. This lets him colour grade the video later in post processing software like Premiere or Davinci. If you think the video is oversaturated that's because the guy colour graded the video that way.
Having a Film Degree isn't gonna teach you how to make films lol. Film is a time and practice thing, you can't just book learn it. You have to do it to be good at it.
Oh sure, education isn't everything. But you're telling me you can equally brute force your way to experience with no external information, verse being told things by someone who's already gained experience and knowledge? Yeah I'm sure all the successful people are self-made and have never taken a course on anything film related.
XDeadzX yep all successful directors and cinematographers never went to film school and if they did they would say it's useless because it actually is. You learn a lot more from being an intern.
I’m surprised at how well the phone did. The RED was more color correct, sharper, etc., but the footage on the LG was really nice, and you have to remember that the RED costs about $13,000 and above. One more thing that I’ll say, is that if you’re going to get a few $300 stabilizers, and you’re interested in videography, then you should just buy a nice DSLR. But if you want something that has phone capabilities, and a nice camera, the LG is a good choice. Last thing (I promise): The Apple X has a very nice camera, with pretty much the same features, you’d just need to get a free app on the App Store, to get aperture features, etc.. So if you’re and Apple user, you shouldn’t switch to LG just for the camera. (iPhone 8 plus is good too.)
You'd have to be stupid to buy the LG just to use it as a camera. You can get a pretty good DSLR for that money. However, if you only have a grand to spend on a smart phone and a video camera, I guess it's not a bad choice.
So for all of you who may not realize, the RED was filmed and edited to match the LG as close as possible. The RED was not used to its full potential. Notice the same blown out highlights in the sky, and not the 16.5 stops in dynamic range. This was just an ad for LG. A pretty clever yet misleading ad.
*WOW AMAZING! After watching couple of 4k 60fps footage from the iPhone 8, I thought Apple had this in the bag when it comes to camera until seeing this, both devices are amazing in their own ways. I hope LG sends me one for a review on my channel.*
YourTechGuide The LG v30 doesn't record at 60fps @ 4k, and doesn't do a good job at slow Mo when compared to the iPhone 8, however it has more flexibility which may make better videos then the iPhone 8
YourTechGuide I agree this is amazing and well done to LG. However, this has been colour graded to within an inch of its life. Most other reviews I’ve seen, including of the iPhone 8, are demonstrating the capabilities of the camera directly from the camera roll. It would have been more interesting for me as a smartphone enthusiast to compare the V30 to the iPhone 8 instead of the big expensive camera... but I guess that’s more in line with what LG really wanted to achieve with this.
On May 2nd 2018, I shot the entire wedding of one my kids with this phone. Everything was absolutely perfect in color and lighting. The video above was nice but taking lots of 10-20 min videos and all were perfect is amazing. The there were the still shots over 100 … One full day pics and videos and there was still 40% battery left.. Really nice. Thank you LG and Sprint for selling the LG v30+ HFreeman
Watching this on my iPhone, the difference is negligible. I expect things would be very different if it was viewed in a theatre which the Red was made for, not really RU-vid videos. Awesome footage Parker. I can see you put a lot of effort into this.
I remember watching that movie in school a while back. Awesome comparison and btw, the smartphone was really similar to the Red (which is what amazes me the most) :)
I continually scoff at the thought of shooting a whole project with a phone, and wouldn't do it myself over using "proper" gear, but at 6:45 you are dead-on right.
i asked my brother to choose which one is better and he has no idea about this red weapon camera, he chose lg v30's picture quality better than red weapon. m shocked
Gabe Hoekman he's not smart about this particular subject, to be specific, and if the average Joe can't tell your $800 camera isn't a $50,000 camera, then LG has done something right
