I've designed the interior of this case myself, and constructed. I wanted to share pictures but both my cameras are inside the case. Figured I'd use the Zcam E2-M4. Turned into a short.
Was fun to film and light. All lighting was done with 2x Godox Litemons 6Rs. Two €30 lights. The M4 is amazing in low light for an Mft sensor. Was all filmed at 8000 iso.
Taf case.
The sound design is great :-)
Thanks, was the first time i put real effort in, so nice it got noticed.
So so cool
You definitely sold me the E2-M4 dude !
I was scared it couldn't hold it in low light but with good conditions, IT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH
Glad I could be part of your venture into Zcam man, you certainly won't be disappointed. Just give it light. Better to shoot high iso and bring exposure down in post, than try to stay low and suffer noise.
looks great
No noise reduction? That is impressive. Any comparison to the GH5s? This was a great short.
Thanks, no unfortunately I don't actually own a GH5 and never have.
@@FosterMedia I use mainly gh5 and zcam, they are very different. Zcam blows the gh5 like Mercedes to Mazda
Which LUT do you preview with or can I use the zebras with flat zlog and expose that way?
I actually don't use a preview LUT. I have used log for some years now and im comfortable exposing it in its natural state. Yes, use zebras. I found the best for low light is to boost that iso right up to ETTR, then i use the Zcolour plugin to adjust exposure. It acts like raw.
Any clue of E2-M4 vs GH6 ... ?
Looks great! Which lens did you have on it?
Thanks man, to be honest i can't remember, i think probably my sigma 18-35. but not at 1.8, its just too shallow.
@@FosterMedia do you use the 18-35 with a speed booster on the Z?
Hey, I'm curious if any updates on video of taf case setup? ;)
I'm currently building a bigger, better, improved one for all my gear to fly with. ill do a how to video on the second one, once i get back from the trip im building it for. thanks for you interest man
hi this incredible! Can you share the rest of your camera settings? Thank you!
Thanks so much man. It was all shot between 5000 and 8000iso, using Zlog2 in prores LT. 24fps and a 172.8 degree shutter, or 1/50. I can remember the lens, I think it was my old yashica 28mm 2.8
@@FosterMedia thank you bro i really appreciate it, excellent work!!
Thank you man, you are one of a kind !
I have the same camera but I get the really bad banding with high noise. I know going into higher ISOs can make the noise more prominent, but is there any way to mitigate that banding noise? It looks really really bad in post and the quality of my stuff is suffering
By how much are you over exposing, are you shooting Zlog?
@@FosterMedia I'm gonna be honest, I'm not sure. All I am doing is exposing to the right, or just below peak so highs are blown out. I attempted downloading the -3 exposure lut from Zcam to my camera, but because I use my phone, I don't think that works.
aren't*
@LoneBolt ok, seems you're doing it right. Don't be afraid to whack that iso right up, what's important with the Zs is to exposure just under the clip, regardless of how high the iso is. so shoot with as max aperture as possible, say 2.8, then bring the iso up till you see clipping on the waveform, then bring it back down till the brightest highlight just falls below clipping. This video for example, i brought the exposure down by -8 in the Zcolour plugin. The noise from the Zcam is really quite nice, organic, due to the analog gain, as opposed to digital like most non-cine cameras. Dont worry about a bit of noise, but banding, yeah thats not good. if you wana show me an example you can find e on the Zcam Facebook page (Brad Foster) and we can discuss it farther , im here to help
You shot with rec 709?
Zlog.
