I love the 500b. We took it in our last interviews for a documentary and used it we left the Aputure 600 in the case. Its size is crazy for the power it has. We used it with a 90cm lantern.

I use the Wooden Camera director’s monitor cage with a 7” monitor. It pretty much facilitates everything you need.

Did you use any promist filter or similar on your lens? I was not expecting that window light to do much, but it actually worked great. Just discovered your channel and must say I'm very impressed! Quality content

Do you have a video on how you built your director's monitor?

Beautiful set up and what a detailed walk through, man! Thank you! Would love to know, how you graded this particular scene/shot - these colors are 🔥!

Very nice. I have a 6" Portkey which I really like.

Gosh I am such an amateur, I needed this lol

What’s that portable monitor you are working with?

What a banger of a video

Wow. That's brilliant. Well done team.

Strangely, they haven't updated their bodies to be more boxy. It's getting very tall. I'm also surprised they haven't gone with two CFexpress B cards or at least one. I'd also like a better slow-motion option.

Reverse key means the key light is behind the subject to some greater or lesser degree(or very nearly so). If to a greater degree, then the subject will be significantly silhouetted. If to a lesser degree, they will be “short sided” where the short or narrow side of the face, further from camera is lit and the broad side closest to camera is in shadow. This setup does short side the subject slightly but it’s definitely not a reverse key as the angle between light and camera at the point of the subject is quite acute 5:22

13:26 just to be clear, you zoomed to crop but this did NOT create compression. Zooming just changes the angle of view which is what a focal length is all about. Compression only happens if you move the camera (essentially to maintain the size of the subject in the frame - think zolly) and then you’re experiencing the parallax effect that different focal lengths exhibit on the background when the position relative to the subject changes to maintain its size in frame. Without moving the camera, zooming (changing focal length) doesn’t compress anything (making the background appear farther or closer to the subject)

Have you tried to go a little wild in your interview setups? Let me know what you tried!

This is brilliant. I'm so bored of the same setups and have been thinking of breaking the rules to some extent. So hard to do when in every job you have to play it safe.

I know projection can be overdone, but right of frame could have had a projected dappled light motivated from the windows or a motivated projection of the window frames. This would be super subtle though. Great shot though.

8:36 - Panasonic has DGO in their G9ii and GH7 cameras too.

Doesn't achieve a look close to several of the cameras you mentioned and the rolling shutter is what made me sell my ronin-6d. It's versatile, but they need a global shutter and i'll go back to it.

Great breakout! I love it! I would probably go slight lower on back (hair light) as it looks slightly unnatural, but it is personal preference. Thank you for a great advice!

How do you turn on the level on the C80?

Interesting. I absolutely share your original view about cinema documentaries, to me the interviews are the least important and least interesting thing. They audio might be important but the interviewee is rarely in vision for very long. In fact I love the films of Asif Kapadia and find them a big influence (Senna, Amy, Diego Maradonna) and he purposely only uses the voices of interviewees and never shows their faces unless they are in some sort of archive or some sort of action. But watching this has given me a bit of perspective about what producers/production companies might be asking for, I am also not super confident in lighting interviews and probably should be!

Nice review. It’s a marvellous bit of kit. Definitely the newcomer to the game is thinking outside the box and it pays off. 5.02 is that Warsaw old town?

I don’t see a huge difference in DR when I’ve seen side by side C70 and C80, but there is something mysterious about that DGO sensor. It might be to do with roll off or something, there is just a kind of smoothness to the entire image which makes it feel a bit more filmic. That said, corporate clients don’t really care about things being filmic! And that is most of my money. I’m going to push the C70 for longer though, as I don’t think the C80 would drastically change my workflow right now but time might change that feeling. All of my clients have only said good things about the images I’ve made with the C70.

Stop showing the censor. I can already see dust on it! Don’t understand why people do this. Other than that, good video. Love my C70 and have an R5c so I can’t justify a C80 but I’d love one if I didn’t have the C70

I have a Canon 5d mrk4 ... I want to switch for low light video and stills.... but I still don't know which to get A7iv or Fx3 because I want to do both.... suggestions please

Just purchased the course.

Thanks!

Amazing video! Quick question, where do you find the setting to display the electronic leveler on the lcd for the C80? I can’t find it in the menu

I tried the trial version and I'm not getting good results when I'm trying to upgrade AI generated videos from 720 to HD

Great video, and possibly the longest intro I've ever seen for a product review! Great work

Good stuff. One critical thing I might add...in the clips from the Mission it was conceivable that what we were seeing in the background was the sun (or my eyes read it that way), albeit at the perfect angle. With your shot, it had the appearance that the sun was in the middle of the trees. I wonder if you have sneaked it up to the top of the window if it would lessen that effect and make it all feel a little more believable.

at 10:35 it is TB50 for DJI Inspire 2, Inspire 3 has TB51...

your course link is broken!!

Spielberg and David Lean are good examples of using less DOF to help make thew environmant tell part of the story. The environments in No country use that.

A perfect illustration. I’ll try to learn

would be great if it could shoot vertical for social

Great comparison! I’m interested to see what you end up shooting with your c80!

where is true vertical filming on this camera ?

Hi Curren, I have a canon eos r that I still use professionally for videography and local business photography, would you advise me to invest in a c80 or a ronin 4d?

One of the films I was in back in 2009... We used the Canon 5D Mark II... I thought I was in Heaven... since I was used to being on sets that used REEL FILM... Bahaha WOW... such a difference... I love Canon Cameras.

What is this Magic that you speak of... I have never seen such Beautiful work... Thank you for this video.

So basically this is the C70 mark 2? The C70 has been my favourite camera that I have ever used. There was only 2 things I didn’t like was the mini XLR ports and having it hard to monitor audio properly without changing the settings so I can hear in both ears. It was very nice to handle for hand held footage even with it rigged up with a cage, 7 inch monitor and a mic. Even though I would personally of used a 5 inch. I love the slow motion, the battery life wasn’t brilliant but extremely useable, I was thinking of buying the C70 but now that the C80 is out? Is that the camera to go for?

thanks for sharing this Curren. I needed this reminder myself about my mindset when it comes to master interviews. I DP them quite often but don't value them as much as shooting verite.

LUMIX gh7 is dgo as well

I love the build and form factor of the C80 but I'm pissed Canon purposely crippled it to make room for the C400 :(

Awesome review!

Congratulations Curren. And thanks for the channel.

A major feature the C80 is missing that C70 had is 120fps with audio. C80 recording mode S&F Clip / Audio is capped at 60fps.

Lumix gh7 also has a dual gain sensor. I wonder who you could miss that, anyone knows that.

I put my C70 through the ringer and I am always happy with what It can produce. The C80 just makes perfect sense as an upgrade especially with the triple base ISO. Was playing around with it in BH yesterday - only thing I wish they would add as an update is to disable the rear scroll wheel (not the big wheel, the small one by the thumb)
