Amazing work ❤❤
. Impressive. .
Nice!
Absolutely beautiful, great photo shot
Thanks for sharing, New Sub🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thanks for the sub! You interested in color grading?
Would love a short breakdown as to why you use three CST. Love it just interested!
sell the lut please 😍
I’m actually working on one of my own!
Nice Sam!
Thank you 😊
What camera do you use? Nikon or ?
Nikon Z6iii
Nice🔥@@itscinemasam
What kind do you use?
<3
Keep doing these videos, Sam! I always watch Davinci Resolve videos to continue learning things I don't know. It is great to watch and learn techniques from someone I know. Thank you Sir!
Thank you so much man for watching!! I’m learning something new in resolve everyday! And I most definitely keep making these vids!
Great video. I love my Z8, but the Z6III video looks softer and more filmic, a little creamier. What lens did you use here? Thanks
Thank you and yes I agree that the z6iii has a type of softness to it, and I’m using the nikor lenses mostly the 35 and the 50
Nice review, i love your video color, how can i get it, thanks
Thank you! And you can subscribe because I’ll be doing g a color grading video sook
@@itscinemasam Can you share this LUT for me or where can I buy it. I just received my Nikon Z6 III today.
@@FungHar yes I can! send me a dm on Instagram
Very helpful video
Glad you think so!
Simple and beautiful. Love your videos, brah
Thank you 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
Going to get the reflector this week..
Yes sir!!! While editing this video I realized that there is an ever larger one that Neewer makes
Great video!!! Which Aspect Ratio is this ?
Thank you! And I shot this in 4K dci
Nice looking footage.
Thank you!!!
Hi, Thank you for the test. Did you added grain effect to these test shots or Is it Nikon's normal noise? Because I see the noise on you shirt on the 3rd scene (by the stair) Thank you.
No grain was added! And yes that’s the noise from being severely under exposed then raising the shadows in post.
@@itscinemasam Thanks for the reply. Pretty concerning since I expect the images to be cleaner.
@@videoeventjakarta it can be concerning. But I never plan to push this camera that far, 99% of the time I will make sure I am in better lighting conditions. However, because of the many other SDR color profiles this camera has I will be fine in any condition the SDR camera profiles have built in noise reduction.
Been using mine for my architectural work and I work with lots of shadows, no problem here
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
great real world test, thank you!
Thank you!
2!
i want your great life, bro.
It may seem great, but we all have issues man, no life is better than your own.
Another banger! Love the tones in your videos!
Thanks for watching bro!!
Beautiful video, love the colors and tones!
Thank you 🙏🏾
색감 좋아요!! good!
Thank you!!!
Love the tone! Same here brother a Nikon Z6iii User!
Thank you and Nice!m to know a fellow Z user 🙌🏾
This is the hardest edit for this shitest cat lmao
Aye chill 😂😂😂 reliable cars deserve some shine too 😂😂😂
Love it! What lenses did you shoot on?
I shot on the Nikkor 35 mm F1.8
Thank you 🙏🏾
💥💥💥
I was absolutely about to switch to Sony aswell, My OG Z6 was going to get sold along with all the lenses. Also was tempted to just get the Z8 but not having the articulating screen was almost a deciding factor for me not that I even vlog I just wanted something different. Im so glad I waited because like you said I get some of those Z8 features but for less of the price. And because ive invested in Z Mount lenses and know the camera well it was a no brainer really, so my Z6 OG with the Atomos Ninja V has now became my B-Cam and I couldn't be happier. Great video
Wow bro our situation ls are so similar! I had the ninja v as well but I was tired of having to use it in order to get higher quality so I sold the ninja v and used that money to get the bmpcc 6k pro but then I was tired of not having the option of auto gos and in body stabilization. Just when I was about to give up on Nikon the dropped the z6iii
And thank you for watching 🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is more a reflection on the social media /YT algorithm than any camera… unfortunately negativity and outrage strokes the algorithm. Feels as though many UA-camrs simply exploit this by looking for controversy and negative angles. I just bought the Z6iii after years of tentative shopping around and being put off by reviews. I ended up waiting for the next big thing to fix everything but ended up never buying a camera and almost losing interest… until now. I’m loving the camera so far. Cameras are damn expensive (Australia)! Don’t need any buyers remorse that’s for sure.
Glad you found a camera that works for you man! Thank you for watching 🙏🏾
I don't really know much about Nikon cameras, especially for filming video but.. It seems like the LOG is kinda noisey.. I notice this on several other camera brands also.. I personally got away from LOG a while ago, cuz of the noise...so I actively try to find other flat profiles that still let me shape color and mood later. Once your look / LUT was on there tho, it looked good. Thanks for sharing this bruh, and good luck on your goal. I'm already subscribed !
That’s a great observation! I definitely noticed the noise. Nikon dose have a flat and neutral profile that I use sometimes that has no noise at all. I would love it if NLog was less noisier, I like the color science though! It just seems like NLog is geared towards shooting outside on a sunny day lol.
Comparing the Noise pattern on my old A7R V (traded for Z8) and the FX30, they are "finer" while the Z8 is "larger" in some situations however, I haven't had any issues cleaning things up in Resolve.
@@TopshelfJunior Forgot to mention that Sony cameras have noise reduction in camera that the menu setting cannot affect, which Nikon’s do not.
@waynerm002 true the Nikon 📸 has it built into the 10 bit 420 and 8bit 420 codecs
@@itscinemasam Yep, in SDR and HLG modes, not NLog.
Beautiful work mate! 👊👊
Thanks 👍
@@itscinemasam could you share color grading process
Nice footage! I pulled the trigger and picked up the Z6III.😅 What iso were these scenes captured with?
🔥🔥🔥🔥 and I shot these with ISO 800.
Also, I didn’t use any dennoise on the footage.
Nice, you don't seem to have the flickering issue in the shadows shooting Log. I unfortunately do.
I noticed it helps to over expose a little bit, the Z6iii is more forgiving in the highlights
@@itscinemasam True, but in darker environments that it's always possible. You managed to pull it of well.
@@itscinemasam This is seeming to be like what one would do with Sony cameras in SLog 3, over expose in recording and reduce brightness in post to decrease noise in shadows, then apply noise reduction (mostly night or low light area footage) if required.
I think the point is not to pull the shadows up to too far. Here the shadows are where they belong.
DaVinci also removes the flickering
I love your stuff man. Keep going! Im new to this and I find it all very inspiring
@@StevenBoz thank you! I really needed that encouragement 🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@itscinemasam love to see your process for colour grading one day. I know a lot of those exist on the web, but you have a wonderful way of presenting
I've been a Nikon shooter since the D40 came out and a Minolta film shooter before that so I get that if you're a good photographer, you'll make the best of what you have, but with the Z6iii, I've noticed that any criticism of it is taken personally by the other Nikon faithful. Yeah I get it's a great camera, but when someone even brings up the fact that it's ~1.5 EVs worse in dynamic range than the D600 which came out 12 years ago, they get attacked by generic statements like "If you can't take a good picture with this, it's you" and completely lose their mind at the audacity of someone criticizing the corporate brand they have attached their identity to. So let's get that out of the way, this IS a great camera, but it's a great camera that has a potential deal breaker for someone who already has a camera that is higher in DR and it's something that makes a difference in their photography. It may not matter 99% of the time, but that 1% of the time when you have a great photo where the subject is in the light but the background is too bright, that extra 1.5EV can really change a photo from good to great. If it doesn't affect you, then great, congrats, but to say it doesn't matter at all is just copium. Everything else in cameras have gotten better but looking at all the cameras in the last 5 years, DR has either been stagnant or getting worse. That's worth a discussion at least.
@@Arieeeee I was referring to the dynamic range for video. Because the bit depth is only up to 12 for video and I’ll be using 10 most of the time. But the dynamic range is great for photo and a bit depth is 16 so this is not a dealbreaker I took it out and shot and broad daylight, and I had people in shadow with a bright background and when I edit it perfectly. I understand how you feel but at the same time if you don’t have the camera, you should not have much to say. I have actually used it in the field so I know it is capable of. Dynamic range does matter don’t get me wrong. It’s just that if it’s over10 or 11 you have plenty
What lens did you use?
35mm
Nice!
Thank you ❤️
Yeah I enjoyed this. Great grading.
Glad you enjoyed it
Enjoyed this vid, loving the "ambience" of the scenes you shot, great work.
Thank you!!
I think overheating is the main concern for these hybrid cameras over dynamic range.
This camera won’t overheat unless the sun is beaming down on it for 5 hours on a day over 90 degrees.
Can you please make the original ProRes video files available for download?
My camera has 15 stops of dynamic range and it was made in 2005 can you guess what it is by the way it isn't just ratio it's also the number of clear steps between brightness and darkness
Let me see some footage and I can guess
My God, everything looks so wonderful. Please tell how you do such fantastic color grading I see a glowing effect, was this effect achieved using a filter on the lens? Or in post-processing?
@@jr.17 thank you! I used a black diffusion filter from Neewer. And for color grading I used premiere pro curves adjustments after I put on the Nikon NLog lut
How many takes to make the basket?
It took me about five tries to get a swish. But I did make the first one I shot lol
The customisation are far more convenient and numerous options on the Z9. These podcaster are singing for their supper.... I've noticed similarities in their appraisal of the Lieca SL3. Which is a street and portrait camera. Not a fast elite action-sport wildlife photography /professional work. It's all %110 marketing. I have since Diss photography equipment podcasters. They all spout from the same script. That's after I had the Z8 for 2 soccer matches and a Mobile phone conference/launch. I litterally felt some Tech- digital steps back. Great size and weight though from the Z8, but for 4g,nah! I appreciate that though. It's a great alternative back-up +when tone down to a Press Conference nothing more. Oh the battery takes so long to fully charge.
I think that ISO 800 looks better in low light, though the 6400 isn't bad by any stretch.
I definitely agree!!
Great video! ❤
