This is a short test video I made using the Sony A7R V filming in 4k 60fps ProRes Raw. I got this camera to be a B/C camera to my Sony FX3 and Sony FS7ii. I wanted to try out all of its video features to learn how capable the camera is in video mode. Nobody has posted any ProRes Raw footage with it so I thought I would test it out and let others see the results. Here are my thoughts: The image ...

The beauty of Kauai captured in 4K raw using the Sony FS5 and Atomos Shogun Inferno. I filmed this video back in 2019 but decided to remaster it. My color grading skills have come a long way since then and I was able to really make use of the raw files. The footage has lots of latitude to work with which allowed for really clean color rendition. I did notice the raw footage has substantial nois...

    'i thought you could use a new dresser', she says while standing in a room with THREE dressers in it. the girl who weighs 240lbs at the table saying dude looks like crap, while sitting next to a grass roots activist is rich. i cant relate with anything these kids do or how they bahave, theyre so corny & boring. all they do is talk, eat toast, sleep and get coffee.

    I really enjoyed this - very well done! I'd love to know what you used to get the camera movements so smooth. Great characters, believable, appropriate sound effects - pretty much a home run!

    • @peakcinematics
      @peakcinematics 3 місяці тому

      Thanks! So to get those super smooth shots I had the FX3 + RS3 Pro gimbal mounted on a tripod which was on a dolly track system. You have to get a special plate to mount the gimbal without its battery to the tripod and then supply external power. Then in post I could add a bit of stabilization and you're left with a super smooth shot. Most of the short film was shot using the RS3 Pro gimbal either on the dolly or handheld. The shot of the car approaching the mansion I was actually in a wheelchair holding the gimbal.

    • @peakcinematics
      @peakcinematics 3 місяці тому

      Also I've gotten very good at eliminating the 4th axis (footsteps) while hand holding the gimbal. Most of the mansion scenes were shot hand holding the gimbal. It just takes a lot of time to master the synched arm movements to cancel out your footsteps.

    Certainly way more cinematic than most shorts on this platform, I do however find the lack of static shots a bit overwhelming. If I may offer any critique, it's to not overly rely on camera-pan during dialogues, it can take us away from being engrossed and positioning ourselves within the dialogue on screen, and its excessive use can come across as a bit 'amateurish' - for lack of a better word. I personally felt like the camera very seldom sat still if at all, it was always moving in some way or another, and while it's nice to see a bit more artistry in the cinematography it can be to your detriment to forego the power of a stationary shot. Otherwise, good short, and good on you for going beyond the basics!

    • @peakcinematics
      @peakcinematics 3 місяці тому

      Thanks for the constructive criticism! I do agree for some of the dialogue the camera could be stiller. I should just put it on a tripod vs dolly for some of those scenes. Horror films like Sinister 2 tend to do locked down dialogue shots but still have a little camera movement. We had very limited time shooting this short film (all shot in about 7 days with usually 2-3 hour time slots) so planning cinematography that would flow together was tough. The scene in the pub we only had about an hour with the actors so it gets a bit stressful haha.

    Haunted house rule number one: don’t go in the basement. Haunted house rule number two: don’t split up. But what really boggles my mind is that in this mansion full of incredible antiques, the parents pick up a shitty old dresser that most people would’ve left at the curb to give to their son. Makes zero sense to me.

    Pretty good film. Wish I had friends like these two. They have his back. Good thriller. My son starter hearing growling in his room when we got a dresser from the thrift store..He was 11. It had a weird sticker on it. He removed the sticker at 12 and the growling stopped.

  • @SweetUniverse
    @SweetUniverse 6 місяців тому

    No. You introduce the subject (the dresser) and then use it. Remember- this genre is horror. At night while the main char. is sleeping, something comes out of the dresser, or a drawer opens & main char. investigates, leading to something horrible happening. Action needs to escalate. There needs to be descending action, ascending action & a twist. Life gets worse. Usually in horror it ends in death or serious injury.

    Horror films are great in low light, like at 14:35 I think the story needs some improvements. Like the boy should have left the house with horror when he first felt the ghost thing. People love the scenes that are related to real situations, and what naturally they do in that situation. Still great. 3.8/5 Congrats!
