Can you Shoot a Music Video on the Nikon Z6III?
I shot a music video on the Nikon Z6III. How did it turn out?
I've really grown to love the Nikon Z6III. The Z6III is great in low light, and I can use all my Sony E Mount glass on it. I wanted to try it out for this project and I was really pleased with the results. I really enjoy music video cinematography, and had a blast using the Nikon to capture these dark scenes. It was also a great time to test the Sirui anamorphics on the Nikon Z6iii

Try This ONE TRICK for CLEAN N-Log Footage | Nikon Z6III
Переглядів 631День тому
I hope this trick helps you clean up your shadows! The Nikon Z6III has such a good image, but I wasn't loving the noise in the shadows. I did a camera test to see if overexposing by a stop or two would clean it up by lowering the noise floor. The noise cleaned up SO MUCH, and the image was EVEN BETTER. I hope this sheds a little more light on how to expose N-Log on the Nikon Z6iii, and really s...

I Investigated the Z6III Flickering Shadows Myself...Unusable?
Переглядів 4 тис.2 місяці тому
I've seen some very controversial opinions on the Nikon Z6iii, especially when it comes to flickering shadows. I knew it was time for me to sleuth around to see how bad the issue actually was, so I investigated the flickering shadows on the Nikon Z6iii myself. Shot in N-Raw 12 bit.
Is the Nikon Z6III Good in Low Light?
Переглядів 11 тис.3 місяці тому
*EDIT* In the comparison shots, the Z6iii is on the right and the A7Siii is on the left! There's been a bit of controversy around the Nikon Z6iii since it's release with it's lower dynamic range, "noisy sensor", "flickering shadows". I decided to put it to the test in an actual low light shoot to see if the footage worked. Of course, I shot half of it with my Sony A7Siii to be safe, since it wa...
3 Weeks with the Nikon Z6iii (From a Sony Shooter)
Переглядів 8 тис.3 місяці тому
Everything in this video was shot on Z6iii, and the Sirui Venus 35mm and 100mm anamorphic lenses. Talking head was on the Nikkor Z 24-120. I used a Neewer Sony E to Nikon Z mount lens adapter for the Siruis. The Nikon Z6iii is far from perfect, but I really fell in love with some of the new features. They got me out of my tent (I was camping, not homeless) and shooting some fun photos and video...
This AFFORDABLE Lens is actually AMAZING
Переглядів 874 місяці тому
Affordable lenses or cheap lenses can be a scary investment, because you never know if it's going to be a worthwhile investment, but I highly recommend this lens to anyone looking for a long lens. One of the best vintage lenses. Filmed this talking head on my new Nikon Z6iii, but all footage from this vintage lens was shot on my Sony A7Siii.
Camera Rigs: How Big is TOO Big? Hiking with Sirui Anamorphics
Переглядів 544 місяці тому
Camera Rigs are awesome for productions, but what about for hiking? Is it worth it to take heavy lenses and big batteries/monitors? The cinematics were shot on a Sony A7Siii with Sirui Venus Anamorphic lenses. I love the cinematic look that comes straight from the sensor with these lenses.

  • @geoffreybassett6741

    I've found the same thing. Nikon's LUT is absolutely garbage. The sensor likes to be overexposed and brought down in post. Having a LUT that makes properly exposed footage look overexposed is crazy. When you turn on the exposure preview in camera it makes it look like your highlights are blown out even if they're clean. I've been Colorizers ACES LUTs for NLOG, which let you monitor with the shot more exposed while clearly showing when the highlights start clipping. Doing this makes final footage so much cleaner.

    • @TannerSimpsonMedia

      Thanks for your comment, Matti! I think you're 100% correct. I just wonder if there's a more positive way to reframe it in our minds. Maybe instead of "I'm not good enough" We should frame it as "Look at how much more I can learn".

    Love this! I started filmmaking in Oct of 2018. I was 28. 2 months ago, I did a shoot for Sony for a non-profit in North Carolina and a few others since. I still get depressed. I still get unmotivated sometimes. What really matters, is the process is the goal. If you are just concerned with getting to a place, and you aren't happy taking the steps to get there, you won't be happy when you make it there. Thats what I have learned anyways. We are always chasing the next project, but we need to enjoy the current project we are on. Have fun and never forget why you fell in love with this in the first place. Thank you for reading.

    For those who create full time, its important to do personal projects too. Use the same skills, but apply them to different subjects that interest you. It helps the creative flow, helps you build new skills, helps you build new connections, and frees the creative mind. Just my view and hope it helps a little. I always feel the same - constantly comparing myself too. My content sucks so far, but that means it can only get better :-)

      It's there in H.265 N-Log when the shadows are cranked like crazy. If you expose even a little bit correctly, and use native ISOs, you won't see it. Rumor has it Nikon is working on a fix as well.

  • @feejsf
    @feejsf Місяць тому

    Enjoyed the intro, thanks! Isn't it the opposite of the "flicker issue" though? Presumably for the intro you have exposed properly and then darkened the shadows, whereas the flickering happens when trying to pull shadow brightness up.
