Check out my latest film produced in collaboration with LUMIX here:
• THE STAGE | LUMIX GH6
It's finally here! The highly anticipated Panasonic LUMIX GH6. Here is my short film produced for the official announcement.
After attending the pre-disclosure event in London at the beginning of the month, I've now had my hands on the camera for a couple of weeks and used it to put together this short film. It was a real pleasure to be involved in the announcement and release of this one, so thanks for the guys at LUMIX for giving me a shout.
As soon as it arrived a couple of weeks ago, I shot some test footage and could instantly see that this camera and I are going to get on very well. What a powerhouse the GH6 is. Genuinely fire. The footage has a beautifully cinematic quality, filmic character, everything that I love about the LUMIX look. But more to come on that...
As is the nature of this kind of work, I only had a couple of weeks to come up with an idea, plan, shoot, edit and deliver, ready for the announcement tonight. Initially it didn't look like there was much in the way of good shooting conditions for the foreseeable. But then my brother, music for film composer Life In Colour happened to mention he had a new composition in the works, titled 'The Storm'. Low and behold, a matter of hours after we floated the idea, the UK received its first two named storms, both of them in the same week (we actually had a third last night). So, the stars aligned, and it was meant to be.
The film was shot entirely on the GH6. We had to brave some brutal (if not slightly treacherous) conditions. In doing so, shooting this piece I have genuinely put the camera through the ultimate test. Storm force winds, torrential rain, hail, angry seas and sea spray by the tonne. Of course the GH6 took it all in its stride, and managed it like an absolute boss. Speaks for itself!
It was a lot of fun to produce. Very wet. Very cold. Pretty miserable and borderline savage at times. Working in these conditions is seriously hard work. But fun all the same.

I'd imagine this is what Panasonic was hoping when sending the preproduction models out to some of those Big "film" UA-camrs and all they do is go over the specs and show clips of their coffee or B roll xDDD where small, unknown UA-camrs like yourself go out and truly craft something MAGICALLY! I hope your channel blows up from this video because this was the definition of Cinematic! 🙌
Thanks mate that's very kind! 😊
100% spot on. This camera is meant for filmmakers, not UA-camrs who film themselves and therefore all they care about is AF.
Is everyone here as toxic as all of you?
@@MarcoBayod_MB it's not toxic if it's facts lol
@@Samiam-mu5ln this is extremely toxic, there is no need to mention what others are doing to talk well about this video, it's not their fault if this channel doesn't "blows up". This is Ridley Scott blaming on cell phones on why people didn't want to watch his "high art" medieval blonde Ben Affleck movie (awesome movie, go watch it), this is Scorsese saying Marvel is not cinematic and not understanding that people want to be entertained.
People on UA-cam wants to be entertained and Panasonic wants to sell cameras, it's so simple.
Stop complaining about what others are doing and if you want this to succeed, then spread it
This isn’t just the GH6, dont get me wrong though because it looks phenomenal and the specs are insane, but the composition and flow of this short film is what really stands out. Kudos to your imagination and execution of this magical display of nature and storytelling sir. Still trying to get the hairs on my arm back to normal 👏 👏
Ah man that's lovely to hear thank you 🙏
How do you think he was able to capture the wave splashes/water droplets in such high detail??? Most film makers (unless they have a camera with high fps) always have grainy/blurred quality when it comes to the splashes and water motion. What do you think the trick is?
An honour to work with you on this one brother. Man was that camera impressive. But as this film shows, the old story still stands that what really matters is who is stood behind it 🙌 It’s been hell of a ride 🤘
Thank you for everything, unbelievable work!!! 🎥
Bless you mate. Thank you for working with me! Your epic track made it possible ⛈ ⚡️
Absolutely beautiful piece of music Con. love it. The both of you brothers doing what your doing is so talented and complement each other incredibly well. Such raw talent lads. Keep the magic coming 🙌🙌🙌
Half of this production is the score. Well done, man. Absolutely nailed the vibe.
@@TerenceKearns totally agree mate. It couldn’t have been done without the epic track. Inspired the entire piece. So it’s at least half!
Thank you so much guys. ❤️ You are very kind 🙏
🚨 EXCITING NEWS! 🚨 This look is now available via my creative grading pack available here:
rowe-films.sellfy.store/p/the-storm/
Good to know thanks
Bro, this is insane. Absolutely love it mate. Still blows my mind how quickly you put this together and executed it so beautifully. You’ve made the GH6 look incredible and shown us what the camera is capable of. Honestly one of the worlds most talented videographers. Can’t wait to get my hands on the GH6. Incredible work once again mate. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thanks mate!! That’s very kind of you to say so 👍🏻😊
@@RoweFilms u got some real talent men.. that was fast
@@Arvidje thanks my man
Thank you all for the love and kind words. Very much appreciated! 🙏
Awesome video, one more subscribe
@@WillianPortela cheers man and welcome 👍
Rather than complaining the AF, you did what this camera capable of. 🔥
Yeah that's how I like to do things man. Thanks very much!
There we have it guys. The GH6 is finally here! It's been painful keeping it all quiet over the last few weeks 🤣!
What are you thoughts? Is the 6 doing it for you? 🌩
Did you use Prores 422 HQ or VLOG?
@@samsay7954 Hi. You're talking about two different things there. VLog is the logarithmic gamma curve, a picture profile. ProRes is a codec. You can shoot VLog footage in ProRes codecs.
Definitely yes. It is a very different aesthetic from the 'full-frame look', somewhere between the "Super 16" and "Super 35" feel, and it's gorgeous. Pretty much all you need in a camera. And the 4K120P is just gorgeous. The way you've shot and graded is also key for the result. In conclusion, this will eventually end up in the MFT bag as "A-Cam" and GH5 will stay on as the "B-Cam" :)
@@vaidehiarts yep with you there mate 👍
Sold more on your abilities. Great work!
So beautiful! Looks stunning! What a great camera but also what a great talent 🙌
Thanks Emily and right back at ya 😊
While the internet whines about autofocus, this shows what actual videography looks like at its best. Great work, great editing and superb cinematography.
Thanks very much dude! 👍
Is it whining when it's a feature of the camera? Static shots are easy to pull focus on. Others, not so much. Be careful what you call whining. Makes you look pretentious.
@@GunnyNinja It's not being pretentious to acknowledge the ongoing blathering about Panasonic and autofocus. It's tiresome, work with it, work around it or find a camera that best suits your shooting style. every single mention of the camera and it's capabilities gets hampered by the ongoing autofocus chatter. Panasonic is not changing the autofocus, for what ever reason, chip, chip manufacturing, they think they can perfect their ideas, whatever it is and I am fine with that, lots of users of their cameras are, I used it as more of a cinema camera, these cameras by design do not utilize autofocus in most cases. I prefer old, many times, crap lenses, the least pretentious thing you can imagine. I want to know what the camera can do for me and in the end, just tired of the autofocus discussion dominating any other talk about the camera and its features.
@@GoTread Which do you think is more tiresome, still talking about not getting good autofocus, or still not getting good autofocus? It's great for you guys that don't care, but it's a feature that makes a difference. Even Nikon is trying to improve it. If I'm making a film, I might not care as much as when I had my 5D3. But I want a hybrid camera, and that is a feature I want. I can always turn it off when I don't need or want it. It is not unreasonable to expect a company to improve their weakest feature. I'm a guy who bought a Samsung NX1 when everyone was trashing it. Still maybe the best camera I ever owned. Just couldn't stick with a dead system. All these years later, companies still struggling to make a better camera than one that was too far ahead of it's time.
From INDONESIA ❤️
Much better then most so-called "Cinimatic" videos. This is a real movie, great job.
This type of video is what I hope to make one day. Your composition is some of the best I've seen on UA-cam. You defined what "cinematic" footage looks like without even mentioning it once. I truly hope you get millions of views from this video.
Thanks so much! Happy you liked it :)
Gh6 ,Legend reborn. I absolutely adore your cinematography .you deserve more fame❤️
Legend indeed! Thanks very much 🙂
Love it! Also i knew you had a gh6 video just waiting to be posted. They’d be doing themselves a disservice by not working with you.
Bless you thanks! It's been painful having to keep it all quiet for so long 🤣
If you were in PA I’d say you have a job with us!
Thanks dude. There's only an ocean in the way 🤣
Awesome - thanks for sharing this. I have an EVA 1 and GH5s... guess my collection will grow now.
No problem and thanks for the comment 👍
Simply amazing I just bought Panasonic gh5ii Looking for a lens for documentary amazing
Rowe films. I am in love. You have captured such beauty that I cant describe. Can you please please explain how you captured the wave splashes in such high resolution? I have seen film makers with all sorts of different cameras, lenses and post production but none truly capture such crisp details of water splashes. PLEASE tell me how you did it? Was it stabilization, fps, shutter, post production? I need to know please 🙏
Wow amazing, cinematic! I'm dropping Canon R5C for GH6. Thank you for this video.
Thank you! That's good to hear! 🤗
when will we have the music from this video post on Life in Colour spotify?
‘The Storm’ soundtrack will be available on all streaming platforms very shortly. Thank you for your interest and support; please do follow #lifeincolourmusic on Instagram for the latest updates on releases.
☝️👍
Nothing in this video showed me anything about the camera, absolutely nothing, the only thing I see, is a good videographer with a passion for patience.
Stunning 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks mate!
Dada.. good to see you here 😃
beautifull, man. Congrats
I'm glad they fixed the mic input. But Panasonic still owes the rest of us Panasonic user a software update with -25db. Instead of using my s5 I lean towards my 2015 a7sii more and more because of the ridiculous mic inputs on all the other Panasonic cameras smh
Fair one dude. Maybe that will come in a future fw update, because I know they have big plans. I also think one thing that is really obvious to me with the release of the GH6 - they really have been listening to what filmmakers want and need. The 6 is a massive leap ahead from the GH5 in terms of functionality, and so much that we have been saying over the years has been rectified!
@@RoweFilms I'm a fan of micro 4/3rds because of how small their zoom lenses are. But I'm not at all hopeful that Panasonoc will update their audio inputs and I'm afraid I spent 2kusd on a brick. The gh6 is a good camera no doubt about it but I just can't believe they sold the gh5 the 5s and the gh5ii the s1 and s5 and never addressed the unstable mic inputs. There are work arounds. But in a run gun situation you just want the camera to work... 😥
Panasonic Officially have two camera's to compete against the Blackmagic Pocket cinema camera 4K.
That is
The Panasonic Gh5s
And
The Panasonic Gh6
Wow. i wish all camera reviews were like this. just show me what it can do, not this crap most people do by listing what's on the box. excellent film you have made sir!!!! keep it up!
Thanks bro, appreciate that.
Yeah, in depth reviews are not really my bag. They have their place of course, but I prefer to learn what kit can do by getting out there and making stuff.
I am going to do a little video about my experience using it over the last couple of weeks. It will follow shortly 👍
Epic video reveal) I was happy in the storm. I shoot on Sony, but I also monitor other cameras. I've always liked Panasonic. In general, the Japanese are great!
Amazing camera and amazing short
Wow just wow... Panasonic should be grateful lol
🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you didn't tell that this was shot on GH6 I wouldn't believe
I've seen 3 reviews of the GH6 and two did not do the camera any justice....this one looks absolutely amazing!!!!
Thanks Brian. Pleased to hear that 🙌
@@RoweFilms You are very welcome.
wow, that is amazing! the visuals, sounds, music and the words. Making something so brutal and destructive look so beautiful. Great job! loved it.
Thanks very much :)
Very good quality filming, good job
naisu! true filmmaker. glad that youtube recommend this video to me, all the best m8
Thanks very much 😊
No reviews
Just using the GH6 it was supposed to do, it's to help story tellers create wonderful cinematography and transform that into fascinating stories.
That's it, and it does that extremely well 👌
@@RoweFilms awesome
Nice colours, great flow and score. Perfect! Did you use any external stabilization? Or just the in-body IS?
gilaaa aku dari indonesia dan aku menginginkan gh6 tahuh ini🤩🤩
Thank you beautiful work. What is the font used in this movie?
The Great "Natural" Reset... as opposed to the Great "Unnatural" Reset? ;) Absolutely stunning quality from the GH6 and amazing work here!!
If you know, you know 😉
Cheers brother! ✌
This is amazing dude !!. The colour science is very nice. Behind the scene please bro.
Thanks mate! Yes the colours are awesome. I expected no less from LUMIX!
I didn't have a BTS shooter for much of this one bud, too much of a tight turnaround to get all the pieces together, but I do have a bit, and will be posting a video with my experiences over the last couple of weeks shortly
👍
Simply Epic Stuff! Bravo
Thank you!
is this camera good in low light?? whats the max iso b4 it gets grainy?
Yes it performs very well. I wouldn't say its possible to say a max ISO before noise, because that depends entirely on the scene and amount of light.
Great video! But where can I find “the storm” track?
Check out @lifeincolourmusic on Instagram for news on that 😉
The Perfect storm paired w/ the Perfect cinematographer to capture its essence. Well done! I just bought the GH6 and Leica 25-50 as well. Can’t wait!
Cheers Scott very kind 👍🏻
Nice one mate. You’re gunna love it 👌
My next body/lens combo. Just got the gh5 ii but want the gh6 now after watching this!
wow! el nivel de produccion es simplemente asombroso! esto inspira a crear. saludos desde colombia
Absolutely stunning lighting!! I'd be thrilled to be able to nail just one of those shots in that lighting, but you managed enough for this entire video!!!!!!!! Incredible work, mate! Very well done!
Thanks mate :)
Gorgeous. Wish I could see how bad the rolling shutter is but this looked very much like it was shot on film or a high end ARRI. I have the GH4 still. Have to get some gigs to upgrade.
Thanks! Rolling shutter is very controlled on the GH6
This was great. Like.. really really great. There is a lot of stuff that says "cinematic" in the title. This says it with the work. Really great work. Looks like the camera allows you to do the work you want to do. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks very much. Yes for my needs, I think this might be my perfect camera!
whooo, so cool brooo, idk how you take this video, but this so cool
I need a high resolution still from 3:24 on my wall. Most beautifthink. Interesting shot from this short I think.
Yeah those conditions were unlike anything I've ever seen before. True magic
nice one 👏
Amazing film and Amazing channel.
Do you sell your custom luts?
Do you use filmconvert Just to put grain on footage or do you do anything else with filmconvert?
Keep going with this amazing videos
Thanks very much! Not yet, but it's something I've been thinking about for a while. I use FilmConvert mainly for the colour emulation, and grain. I don't often use it for much more than that
@@RoweFilms I noticed Filmconvert doesn't yet have profiles for GH6 - are you using S1 luts on V-LOG instead?
@@ArvinAbadilla I don't actually use it for that. I just use the generic settings at the end, not the built in profiles
Actually this camera is the follower of the GH2 with the essence of beauty and texture that characterized the GH2. Beautiful image ! , thank you
God! How cool, congratulations!
Fucking Ridiculous!!!! Awesome honestly.
Thank you mate, glad you liked it 🙂
Insane
Very enjoyable film. Love the colors and grade
Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely brilliant video.
would one one... one day when I mastered the skill of manual focusing!!!
ridiculous how affordable this camera is when you think about the fact its basically a cinema camera first THEN and hybrid camera after!
This or S5 is on my list along side my Canon R6
Thanks mate!
There's been a lot of talk about what the GH6 is and who its for. I really like your description. Totally consistent with my thoughts on it.
To me, Its a super versatile filmmaker's camera.
3:24 ...amazing lighting - best shot in the video ,,, but only on screen for 1 or 2 seconds??????????? what the???
Haha! Too much good stuff to squeeze into a short edit 🤣
You killed this dude, you know how to get the best out of your gear 🙌🏼
Thanks bro. I posted and crashed last night 🤣
About to have a watch of yours 👍
Is this UA-cam? Because I am sure there needs to be someone with a terrible skin condition not using the camera while complaining about autofocus and then there needs to be a shot of some lines on a chart, while they review from their basement.
This guy had THE BALLS to actually go outside and make art!
Sir, camera reviews aren't made for those who venture outside. You need to complain in your basement about the "death" of a camera system.
DELETE THIS!
This made me laugh 🤣
Thanks mate I'm glad you liked it
Great job man... Beautifully composed and timed. Great imaging.
Thank you 😊
this short movie you made, wants me to buy GH6 so bad. this is healthy toxic. thank you for making such a cinematic grade movie with GH6, for so long i want to change from GH5 to GH6. now i know i will buy a good product, thanks to you. keep doing what you love to do. i love to see your movie again.
Pleased to hear that mate thanks
Really good little film. Such a great camera. I use and BMPCC 4K so this camera has piqued my interest.
Thanks Jonas
wow!!! That was amazing!
Just amazing mind blowing and captive. Would you mind creating content with OM-1?
Thanks man. I'd give it a try for sure
Wow! That is Amazing! Subscribed!
Cheers Jordan mate 👍
Great film. Anyone who watch this video. They will change mind to go micro 4/3. And Gh6 is really good camera. I
Love to watch this kind of short movies, I can see what cameras are capable to do it. We all know spec. We need more UA-camr like you to watch. I’m thinking to get Gh6 after your film. Great job 🙏🏻👍
Thanks man that's great to hear! 👍
Every camera you've used you always produce mind boggling imagery. I envy your skills and eye for lights and colors but at the same time I freaking admire the work. Man your legit keep on doing what your doing. Bless up🙏🏻
That's very kind mate thank you. Really appreciate it. Keeping plugging away bro! 💪
You actually know how to use a camera with maximum strength
Thanks mate!
Thats one of the best Videos about Videographie. I start one Year ago with filming. And between all the other Videos were I learnd a little bit from,is this very awesome for my Eyes. Very very well.👍🏻
Thanks man that's very kind 🙏
This is absolutely stunning! I had asked you about the gh5 vs the Gh5s before but what about the GH6 vs the bmpcc4k? That seems the mft comparison right now
Cheers 👍🏻
As someone who has both, to be honest they are different tools. But on paper the only real advantage the BM has over the GH6 is internal RAW. And that will be somewhat nullified shortly when the 6 is updated to support RAW output over HDMI.
In pretty much every other regard the 6 is far more advanced, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone as the pocket 4K is getting on a bit.
Still a beautiful image of course, and everyone has their preferences, but the GH6 specs far exceed what the Pocket 4K can do.
Top notch storytelling. And tbg the video looks like it was filmed with an ARRI camera.
Thanks man appreciate that!
This is amazing dude!
Cheers man!
after watching ur video damn m ur biggest dan got to learn alot from u
Thanks mate 👍
Woooaaaaaahhh!!! Loved it!!
Thanks man
And they say M4/3 is not cinematic... Amazing work mate, you master the tools!
Thanks! It definitely can be in the same way that pretty much any other camera can 👍
Great video😮Loved it ❤️ Subscribe button smashed👊
Thanks very much and welcome 🙌
How do you like the color science on the GH6? I've always had a tough time making the GH5 look good. I switched over to the GH5S because I really like the colors in that Camara.
Personally I've always loved LUMIX colour but I'd say its improved. Especially skin tones. Less red!
I just ordered my panasonic G7 and it arrives tomorrow super excited. This quality is super amazing. Reminds me of the sony cameras
Fantastic. Enjoy it! 🙌
Awasome film.👏👏👏👏
Would Imagine you had to wipe the lens constantly during filming with all that overspray! The footage is terrific.
Every 5 seconds and after every shot. Gave up in the end 😂
👍🏻💯 I just got my gh6 I really don’t know how to use it, but I will learn 🫡
Take that Gerald Undone....the GH6 is made for filmmakers.
It certainly is! 💪
Sir, as requested, please do a paid GH6 workshop for us. Will help us immensely. Pre-ordered GH6 based on this video
Thanks dude. I'll see what I can do!
Awesome did you use a black pro mis filter ? And what lens did you use? Looks amazing
Thanks. On a few shots I did yes. When I was using the native lenses. List is in the description mate 👍
Excuse me,which part is Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f/1.7?
Amazing job ,if you didn't mention that it was shot with the gh6 we would have thought ,you used one of those ARRI cameras ....
Thanks very much! Haha maybe. The gap is certainly narrowing, that's for sure.
Legit! So inspiring. The metabones used for your production, was it ultra or XL?
This one here mate

Thanks very much 😊
I’m just relieved there wasn’t an Earthquake in Dorset otherwise you’d be like, “Great! Let’s make a Short” 🤦♂️🤣🤣
Best comment of the day.
Yes. Yes I would.
🤣🤣🤣
i'm sure this video will be the best or one of the best footage of gh6. I like it a lot. Excellent job!!!!!
Very kind thank you!
The best video of my day maaaaannn…😍😍😍awesome..share the lens used and hiw u colour grade..is it straight out from camera or vlog ?
Thanks! Lenses used are listed in the description mate. Grade was using one of my custom LUTs and then finished with FilmConvert. I always shoot exclusively in Log
