Great! As always my man!
May have to pick one up myself
Yeah lol all of a sudden cameras prices are up 25% in 4 months. Your s5 is now $969 cheapest used model, while SII is $1200
As relevent today as ever! Happy to see you've been uploading regularly since this.
For manual vintage lenses ( and not only ) wouldn’t a PD movie auto focus system solve the problem ? I have rigged my S5 with an Atomos Ninja V on top of it, but the auto focus problem isn’t solved yet. Can’t make up my mind between the DJI ( LIDAR ? ) auto focus system or the newest PD Movie system 🤦🏻♂️🤔 Great content! Keep it up 👍🏻
There is a way easier way to convert it now
I just bought a sony handycam.low budget films from the 70-early 2000s are my inspiration and i wanted a digital camera to give me that retro feel at first i wanted to shoot on a super 8 film but starting out that way would be difficult for a beginner so i choose the camcord route and this video help alot now im confident in the camera i got and cant wait to shoot with it
Cool techniques but why black and white? Why cancel all the beautiful colors and also skip the joy of grading?
If its not Panavision fuck off
Am looking forward to seeing Gossamer in the forest. (Re: see Bugs Bunny)
wear reflective vests/clothing when filming at night, just don't point your lights at it. They are scooter proof.
I enjoyed the flashing light also. We have the bloody lime scooters in Cologne also. If they are running you over, they are flashing on the sidewalks. annoying. Thanks.
great video! How are you getting your filmic look in your talking head shot? Post or lens or both?
"Whenever I see videos shot with the Lumix S5, I always fall in love with the video quality-the cinematic look and V-Log on this camera are truly impressive, with a nice, soft feel. This week, I bought a used Lumix S5 for around $1,000, barely used and in like-new condition. It’s only a year old, with no signs of wear, a shutter count of just 479, and it came with the Lumix S 20-60mm kit lens. It seemed to come from a wealthy household, probably an impulse purchase. For comparison, I also looked at the Sony A6000 lineup and the ZV-E10 used, because I had some doubts. I found that some of the better Sony APS-C models, like the A6400, A6500, and A6600, go for $744 to $967 used, and around $1,100 to $1,300 new. And yes, the autofocus on those cameras is superior in every way, but I believe the overall image quality is far better on the Lumix S5. So, I decided to go with the Lumix S5. I’ve seen UA-camrs claim it’s not as good as [another camera], but they usually mention models that are way above my budget. Of course, if I had a bigger budget, I’d buy a more expensive camera, but this one fits my needs perfectly."
Ur going crazy with these man, super talented
Nice video! So you use nikon lenses on the S5? Which adapter?
Thanks! I use a basic l mount to f mount dummy adapter from Fotasy.
I would argue that at a basic level, Gear doesn't matter. (In some ways!!) Its better to learn an hone your storytelling skills, and your understanding in composition, lighting, audio and editing. Skill doesn't come from gear.
I've definitely been guilty of thinking that a piece of gear will help me make better videos, but especially from a content perspective that's just never the case. The subject is always more important than what's being used to capture it.
Robert Bresson used exclusively 50mm lens c:
good, you're slowly becoming a believer in non-diagetic lighting. we have trained you well. it's REALLY great to see this creature in motion from an exterior perspective. i am so happy with how it turned out and am looking forward to shooting with it again!!! #2spooky4me
I agree with your lists of responsibilities. Might I add, a director is responsible for the completion of a film project on time and within budget.
That's a great thing to add!
LOVE
I love my op snoot It’s the first modifier I go for if I want hard light
OKC?
Yep!
That's awesome. I love those Nikon Lenses and I have the Tokina 28-80mm 2.8 ATX-PRO and like 5 other awesome Nikkor/Nikon Lenses. I had them originally using my A7R Mark ii and now on my blackmagic 4k. Awesome looks bro!
I'll have to try out the Tokina. Thanks!
@@ZacktheFilm Fair warning... The Tokina 28-80mm ATX-Pro is REALLY REALLY soft wide open and there's no way out of it. If you like vintage soft, snag it. Too much pro-misty until around F5.6-F8
How it´s called the effect that you put on the video in the first seconds?
It's a FCP plugin called m cam rig, by Motion VFX.
What camera did you combine your lenses with
I'm using the Panasonic S5 and these lenses with an adapter.
One light - for the city streets One light - for the hip-hop beats One light - oh I do believe One light is all we need
What did you use to shoot the shots of you talking about the camera ?
Panasonic S5
If you got the DJI focus system then you're in the game
I'll have to try that out!
Thanks for the good video!
Glad you liked it!
Shooting full frame, all I need is a 14mm. If it's s35, all I need is a 14mm. Micro 4/3 I think i could shoot the whole movie with a 14mm. Why waste any time swapping lenses or even zooming.
This debate was a tough one for me at a point in time. I needed to upgrade multiple cameras for Event Shooting and coming from multiple GH5 and one Atomos Ninja V. My time to consider upgrading came right before the release of the S5 II. The AF in the S5 II, the consideration that I really needed to buy a few more Ninja V for my workflow alongside with buying the S5 for the cheaper cost. I ended up with 3 - S5 II, 1 - S5 IIX ( and recently bought the S9 for EDC but now also use it also for long form with my Ninja V that was now sitting around 😅). The S5 is a phenomenal Camera and the S5 II is just the icing on the cake.
It's hard to go wrong with any of these cameras. I recently picked up an S5 ii more for my UA-cam stuff and to use as a B-cam to my S5 for multicam shoots. The only thing I dislike about the S5 ii is that the Raw output is a paid upgrade even though it came standard with the original.
I have both and I would definitely choose the S5ii for the convenience but the S5 OG does have a better imagine Quality.
Totally agree!
… but I just picked up the s5iix at a crazy deal with a free nifty fifty from Panasonic 😭
Just keep it because the S5 is $1k and the Ninja V is $600. This way makes more sense if you already have the S5 and already need a recording monitor. I have the S5 and went the monitor route and now am staring at the same deal wondering if I sell the S5 + Ninja V now.
Zack when ever you cross 1M subs give me fx3 with 24-70 sigma ok.
You got it!
Same! I’ve been shooting on a 12mm and a 1200mm for my feature film. Everything I just crop because…. Yknow, 4k? Anyone heard of it?
I prefer a 9mm and a 600mm for my 2 lens set up
Only 600mm? Weak. Real filmmakers shoot with a 1200mm and a 2x tele on super 8
@@Wildridefilms 😂
@@WildridefilmsI kinda want to see a film shot like that.
You guys are hacks, everyone knows you're not a real filmmaker unless you shoot on 35 mm photography film and pantomom your actors like stop-motion, figures frame by frame and then play it all back together like a flipbook. Amateurs
Really? I am quite interested in seeing the movies you produce with those lenses. 🙂
I subscribed, you too
Thank you for all these useful services. Not often do UA-camrs highlight free to use things, earned a sub.
You're welcome! Thanks for the sub!
Aspect ratio looks amazing on an iPad
Anamorphic lenses crying watching this....
That true. I tested tons on vintage lenses and keep only Nikkor 35 and 50 mm AI. For my taste it's render better than Minolta MD, Canon FD, Zeiss flektogon and distagon. I do prefer Nikkor's lenses even over the DZO Vespid prime and other "CHEAP" cinema lenses. I also have a separate love for Helios 44-2 and Jupiter 37-A. If i would have unlimited budget i would go for ZEISS Touit which is 100x expensive and slightly better.
ive been watching your videos the past couple days they've been very inspiring💪
Glad you like them!
you have good actor
noo way i love your setup
Thanks! It's surprisingly effective for the price
@@ZacktheFilm wooow👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The s5 has a recording limit only for certain recording modes, specifically h.265. The rest will be unlimited
I didn't realize there was no recording limit in 8 bit. Although since I exclusively shoot 10bit, it's kind of a non-factor for me.
GOOD TO KNOW!!
You can improve Hi-8 by a huge margin by skipping tape and grabbing video off the svideo out. Use a ::powered:: svideo/rca to hdmi converter box - those will clean up the signal and set it to IRE 7.5 (the rca to usb dongles are crap now, don’t use them) A cheap HDMI to USB 2.0 dongle will capture perfectly. I like to record to ProRes HQ 8bit. When brought into your editor, set it as you would to comply with SD NTSC standards (black gamma level raised to 15.9, highlights rolled off around 235). Recording to tape on Hi-8 throws out a TON of luma data you’ll want to keep during grade and matching.
I'll definitely have to try this out. Thanks!
hello, can you clarify some information for me on this topic? I use of of these av clear click capture cards and what I love it how they save and separate each recording as separate clips on my usb drive. Using the method you described I would have to manually record the played back footage via OBS or something correct? Or is there any sort of a video to hdmi capture device that can make use of the analog sources and still retain the separate clip functionality?
Have you got a good pro level script and a distribution/marketing model? Otherwise all your gear talk will be money down the drain
My colleague who is an award winning screenwriter wrote the script. All the gear we're using is stuff we already had so it's only costing us time.
Valid question. But extremely invalid supposition. The most difficult part of making a movie is making a movie. It will either work or it will get him the attention or appointment for his next project. Most importantly, when it comes to being intimidated by a task, the movie serves as a proof of concept to the individual that they are capable of making a feature length project.
Some of my shoots are fx heavy... Some client specs want 10bit 4k So 4k 8bit is not good for me. I am looking to go back to Sony again 😂 I guess it's the fs7 for me then🤔
The FS7 is still an excellent choice. There's amazing deals to be had on it too!
I would watch more of these
I plan on doing an episode for each production day, so look out for those!
