This was an absolutely fantastic video, thanks for sharing! Your pacing, detailed run through, video chapters and just everything shown was overall so helpful in demystifying some of the behind the scenes stuff that can feel so daunting when starting out. It also solidified how a camera can only do so much, but it's the lighting that really makes the shot oftentimes. I really appreciate it, keep it up!
Thanks so much for the feedback! That is really great to know that it helped you and that it was straightforward and clear! Always hope to be as practical as I can to explain things as yes some things can feel really daunting. Appreciate you letting me know!
You crushed it man!! I work at a video production company doing interviews exactly like this all the time and this is the go-to setup for us as well. We use Sony FX3's but in my personal work I'm going heavy into Fujifilm and considering picking up the XH2S, so it's awesome to see how they perform in this setup. I absolutely love the barn doors light streak on the back wall, gonna find a time to use that! Thanks for the inspo and keep up the great work!
Hey Scott! Love that. The image coming out of the FX3 looks so good. And yeah glad that idea sparked some inspiration for you! Thanks for letting me know!
Adapting is one of the best filmmaking skills. 😅 You did so much with such a bare room. I run the same lens setup: 18-35 and 24-70 and it’s so efficient. Love the bts insight you are providing. I do something similar on my channel. Keep it going. New subscriber.
Great video! Very informative. I just took a look at the full project video on your website and am really impressed. Love what you did with the photos, and the the transitions were cool. Very inspiring.
Thanks so much Jeremy! Cool you were able to take a look. Yeah we only really had interviews and old photos so some of the stock footage really helped give some context. Glad it was inspiring for you :)
This is incredibly helpful for me. Love the straightforward approach showing exactly how you got to the final look (which looks really good to my eye). I've been highly curious about the X-h2s but this may have sold me. I much prefer the greener look to the magenta. I know it can be fixed in post but sometimes I'd rather just see the image I want to see on the lcd right away. Yeah, great video man. Looking forward to more of your shared behind the scenes.
Thanks so much George! Yeah it's a great camera. The tint shift I imagine was just from the lenses but I haven't done any detailed testing on that. Both the XT3 and XH2S are great. Glad you found the video helpful :)
@@blasepivovar Yeah, I have the XT3 and its been great. I've been debating trading in for the XH2S to have sort of a one camera all-arounder for photo and video. Personally the grip style on the XH2S works better for me. In your opinion, is the XH2S worth the trade in? Big factors for me are the open gate, IBIS and improved autofocus... and grip.
@@glenis83 Get that. Totally would just depend on your needs for IBIS + AF. I don't personally need open gate or an improved grip, but the AF + IBIS has been great for the work where I am a one man band and needing to capture a lot on the fly.
Hey man , I've just watched all your videos , really loved them and it keeps me motivated to keep creating with my xt3 . I'm a young 17 y/o filmmaker I shoot every video I post on youtube with the xt3 cause I can't afford to upgrade yet but I really love the brand and seeing people like you using it too inspires me to keep pushing the limits of the camera. Thanks and keep going mate
Yo! Dude love that so much. Thanks for letting me know. I've shot on the XT3 for several years even after the XT4 upgrade was available. It's such a great little camera. Keep it up!
I think it was the best image I have seen from the new Fuji camera It looks like it was filmed with Alexa Amazing Cinematic image Great Color Correction Great Job
Fantastic video, Blase! I have learned a lot from you and appreciate all of the videos you make to help beginner filmmakers take their work to the next level! Random question but if you had more control of the set would you have used a backdrop? Thank you in advance!
Super useful vid! Your work is killer, brother. What did you use for audio? I'm guessing a boom mic of sorts and I noticed a DR10L ontop of the xt3. How were you using that in this scenario? Thanks for sharing and keep doing you!✌🏽
Thanks so much! Great question. Audio wise I was running the MKE 600 boom mic straight into the XH2S. Also attached to the end of the boom pole was the Movo VXR-10, which was run directly into the XT3 as a backup audio source (didn’t end up needing it in the edit). The DR-10L that you see was just sitting there in case I needed to quickly place it on someone but I didn’t end up using it. Hope that helps!
Love this content man! Keep it up. The structure of the video was amazingly well pased! Great breakdown, not rushing and taking your time to explain. After all, the people watching, want to know all the details. I would've make the introduction a lil bit shorter, but anyways, awesome video! Suscribed and eager to watch more stuff from you in the near future.
Forgot to mention, but its worth to take the time to congratulate you on that color correction, the orange blazer that woman was wearing just looks WAY too good.
Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah I am definitely still learning how I want to make these videos so I appreciate you letting me know! Glad it was helpful to you and that it was enjoyable to watch :)
Thank you! My Meadow LUTs made it super easy! This was pretty much just a color correction + my LUT + my Film FX Powergrade. I am always so happy with the colors coming out of Fujifilm :)
Great video. And great job. I would have framed the shots a wee bit to the right, so the persons didnt be in dead centre of the shot, but off to the left,- making it more according to the book of proportions. Just my way to do stuff,- still a great job, with what you had to work with
Thanks! Yeah that was actually a decision made by the client based on what the final deliverables were going to look like. They preferred center framing to match some other elements they were adding. Thanks for the feedback!
Dude! That is a big compliment. His channel has helped me a lot and always enjoy what he puts out around make due with what you have. Appreciate you letting me know :)
This was incredible content, thank you so much! Did you use autofocus or manual for these interviews. If you had to use autofocus on the H2S does it seem reliable?
Thanks Ian! I used manual for this particular shoot, but I have really enjoyed the AF on the XH2S as well as the XT3. I mostly use Zone and set the area where I want it to set focus as well as face tracking in situations where there is just one subject. Hope that helps!
Thanks Esteban! I have the Fringer EF-FX PRO II's and have been loving them on my Fuji cameras. I was using manual focus in this scenario but I do rely on the autofocus for a lot of other projects that I do. I am really satisfied with how well they work with the XH2S as well as the XT3. Check the link in my description for them. Hope that helps!
Hey, love the final look, the light setup seems a bit complex for a beginner to try but totally necessary to get a professional result. Could you also have used an even more compact camera like the xs - 10? Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback. And yes totally understand it might look complex to a beginner. I don't have any experience with the XS-10 but I am sure the images would be able to sit in the same ballpark if they were set to similar settings.
@@extremekidproductions7859 Apologies. The blanket is just clamped unto the c stand's boom arm. The tube light is clamped on a DIY arm made of 1/2" electrical conduit tubing that you can buy at Home Depot / Lowes. I use it to add an arm to regular light stands using an extra grip head. Hope that helps!
couldnt you just have used a key light with a soft box as opposed to bouncing and blocking. I just feel like you could have gotten something similar with less gear. please educate me if I'm wrong
Yes for sure! I usually end up feeling like just a softbox alone isn’t soft enough on skin for my liking. Since the Rx-18td already has a layer of diffusion, the reflector diffuses it a second time which usually looks really nice. The reflector is also just easier for me to transport with how big of a source it is, verses having to transport a huge softbox. Just my preference but yes i think similar results could be had in several different ways! Hope that helps :)
I shoot with all internal noise reduction turned off and am really happy with the image. On the XH2S, F-Log 2 in some scenes requires a little noise reduction to get a pleasing image but in other cases it actually resembles film grain and I end up liking leaving it as is. Hope that helps!
Thanks man! I love the 24-70 with the Fuji. AF is great and it pairs really well with the 18-35 for my needs. The image feels very similar between the two lenses so two camera stuff like this ends up matching really well without much work.
@@blasepivovar thanks for the reply. I figured they would be close but wasn’t sure how detailed the 24-70 would be on a crop sensor. Might just pick one up then. Thanks man!
Good question! They have short power cables that just plug into a normal two prong outlet so I just ran an extension cord into the dimmer and then into a power strip. Hope that helps!
Hey Ben! The AF performance has been great for me on both the XT3 as well as the XH2S in the way that I use it. The XH2S seems improved as well over the XT3 although I haven't done a direct side by side comparison. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much! This was filmed in a custom classic chrome profile. Go watch this video by my buddy John for the specific settings: ruclips.net/video/qg8MBaCBkr4/видео.html
Thanks so much! I used my Fujifilm XT3 + my Standard Meadow LUTs and then went a little heavy with some filmy FX for those promos. Love the Marcotte's :)
I really like your content friend. I have an xt3, I would like to know if you felt much difference even in the texture with the xh2s, I am undecided between it and the bmpcc6k.
I would say the image from the XH2S using F-Log 2 is noticeably better than anything coming out of the XT3 due to the increased dynamic range. However the image shooting film simulations like classic chrome looks pretty similar. The main things I wanted when upgrading from my XT3 were IBIS, no record limits and F-Log 2 and I have been super happy with that decision.
@@blasepivovar really cool, everything points to me continuing with the fuji, even more so with the lenses I already have. Thanks for answering! Always following here from Brazil
Your video is great but the problem with the video quality in 1080p is that there is a flickering all the time in the video. Some of the parts are grizzling. I cant describe it the right way because i cant speak very well in english. I hope you understand what i mean. And do you know the footage look like this? Because this would be a reason for me not to buy the camera 😢
Both are great cameras although I haven't really seen any XT5 footage yet but assume it will be great. Just depends on your needs and if you need anything that the XH2S offers. For video, I would personally consider a used XT4 vs the XH2S.
Yo! These were actually both shot in Classic Chrome with the contrast turned all the way down. Codec wise both cameras were shooting H.265, 200MBPS, Log Gop. The XH2S was in 4-2-2 and the XT3 was in 4-2-0. Hope that helps!
I have not used the XH2 but imagine the overall image quality would be quite similar. However they definitely position the camera as stills first that can also capture video when it comes to overall features. Gerald Undone's video might also be helpful: ruclips.net/video/-zLb1jSeflU/видео.html
I am using the Fringer EF-FX PRO ii on both lenses. Although native fuji lenses are really great I have really enjoyed this combo from Sigma as the focal ranges and apertures are perfect for my needs. I’ve owned EF glass even when I was on Sony and have just stuck with them. If Fuji had something comparable for a similar or cheaper price I would be interested.
Budget now is considered all this ? WOAW we do live in a freaking recession and inflation craziness lol Anyway great setup, that's how you do it when u dnt have high dr cameras, you light to let the footage live within the camera sensor capabilities ;) I hope this will help people know that with good light you can achieve insane results even when you dnt have the greatest and latest camera!
Good question. I did not on this particular shoot. The softness in the image is actually happening in post production using my Meadow Film FX powergrade for Davinci Resolve. Link in my description to my store if you want to check it out :)
May I suggest you either lower the background music or kill it completely. It interferes with the most important part of the video: Speech!. So many make the same mistake.

Yo! These were actually both shot in Classic Chrome with the contrast turned all the way down. Codec wise both cameras were shooting H.265, 200MBPS, Log Gop. The XH2S was in 4-2-2 and the XT3 was in 4-2-0. Hope that helps!
Oh and noise reduction wise, I followed Gerald Undone’s advice and had noise reduction turned all the way down in camera.
Hi, you think you could achieve this same image quality with the xh2?? Or xh2s is more "cinematic "
I have not used the XH2 but imagine the overall image quality would be quite similar. However they definitely position the camera as stills first that can also capture video when it comes to overall features. Gerald Undone's video might also be helpful: ruclips.net/video/-zLb1jSeflU/видео.html
What adapters did you use on the lenses and why aren’t you using any of the fantastic native lenses?
I am using the Fringer EF-FX PRO ii on both lenses. Although native fuji lenses are really great I have really enjoyed this combo from Sigma as the focal ranges and apertures are perfect for my needs. I’ve owned EF glass even when I was on Sony and have just stuck with them. If Fuji had something comparable for a similar or cheaper price I would be interested.
@@blasepivovar Im pretty confident Sigma will release the 18-35 and 50-100 1.8’s on X mount. No idea when but I’m confident.
@@robmcd That would be dope. One day!
Did anyone counted how many times he said "yeah" ?
Definitely two or three! Maybe four!
@@blasepivovar moooore, I have one more question, are you Russian cause Pivovar is a very Russian family name.
Budget now is considered all this ? WOAW we do live in a freaking recession and inflation craziness lol
Anyway great setup, that's how you do it when u dnt have high dr cameras, you light to let the footage live within the camera sensor capabilities ;) I hope this will help people know that with good light you can achieve insane results even when you dnt have the greatest and latest camera!
Thanks for sharing :) Yeah the word 'budget' is very relative especially in the video production and film world 🙃
no gobo on the walls?
Correct. Just the barn doors here. I don't own any gobos :)
did you use any diffusion filters?
Good question. I did not on this particular shoot. The softness in the image is actually happening in post production using my Meadow Film FX powergrade for Davinci Resolve. Link in my description to my store if you want to check it out :)
Very nice, good job ! Do you us AF or MF ? Continue mec !
MF for interviews!
@@blasepivovar Thx!
and, um, yeah,
hey hey i’m working on it 😂
@@blasepivovar sorry, I am too snotty, and I should work on it too.
May I suggest you either lower the background music or kill it completely. It interferes with the most important part of the video: Speech!. So many make the same mistake.
Appreciate you letting me know! Will take that into account on my next video :)
