Just the settings on the camera alone are tough, then the recorder, then the gimbal and drone settings, great job hope y’all got paid for this, impressive.
Thanks for sharing your BTS info. The film looks great, and the story concept and locations worked so well together. Cool shots are great, but it's the story that gives them purpose.
Very cool! Do you have a preference between the BGH1 and BS1H, since you have used both so extensively? Also, got me thinking about a vacation to Kernow! :))
Cheers. Not really to be honest as they are both fantastic tools that create amazing images. The BS1H probably has a slight edge overall being full frame, the low light performance is stronger. But other than that there's very little between them. You should definitely visit Cornwall :)
Nicely done as always! That drone setup is really cool too! Super impressive setup and the shots were beautiful from it. I'm a complete noob to FPOV drones, so is there a separate camera that is going to that VR headset? Or is the drone operator seeing what the camera sees?
Thanks! Yes the platform has its own camera for operating/flying with, with the feed going to the pilot’s goggles. The RS2 allowed us to frame the shots independently. So it takes good communication and choreographing between the three operators
Great video dude! I noticed you were shooting in some very dark locations in some scenes. Just wondering, how high you were able to go with the iso levels? Did you end up going over 4000?
Thanks mate. No I always stick to the two natives wherever possible and dial everything else in accordingly. Never had to exceed 4000ISO on the BS1H or S1H
@@RoweFilms Thanks for the info mate! One more thing? Have you had any issues with noise at iso 4000 or has it been mild enough to ignore or clean up slightly in post? And what is the best way to reduce noise when exposing for V-log?
@@biglazybeastproductions no I haven’t, but then again I’ve never been a pixel peeper overly concerned about a small amount of noise that almost always pretty much disappears as soon as the image is graded. You should always expect some noise when shooting in Log, as is the nature of a logarithmic curve. The same is true for RAW, as any noise processing the camera normally does under the hood without you even realising, is completely bypassed. A noise reduction pass is totally normal and to be expected with any RAW workflow. That being said, it’s rare that I actually feel the need. Personally I’m not a fan of a super clean, clinical image, and actually like there to be some texture to my images. With the newer LUMIX cams, what noise there is, it isn’t ugly. Chroma noise is well controlled so it actually has a filmic look to it. And I’m also someone that uses a lot of film emulation in my work, often actually adding grain on top anyway. So no, it’s definitely not something that’s ever bothered me, even with the supposedly noisier G Series cams. Only on the very rare occasion, if I’ve accidentally slightly underexposed, or shooting in the very darkest of conditions, have I had a shot or two that I’ve felt the need to clean up a bit. Exposing for Log, I’d recommend using the ETTR method. Don’t obsess over the number of stops etc too much, just generally aim for a nice high exposure in everything you do, whilst balancing that with protecting highlights from clipping. As a general approach, go as high as you can until highlights clip, and then dial back a bit. It’s always better to slightly overexpose and then reduce levels in post, than underexpose and then need to bring things up. Underexposure is ultimately always the culprit when it comes to noise. Cheers!
@@RoweFilms I really appreciate the detailed answer! I prefer more textured images too! Vintage lenses are my favourite way of doing this. When I look at some images shot at 4000 in dark places, I worry that there is too much noise but after applying a LUT and adding a little contrast, it looks great! A tiny bit is fine. I recently got a s5 and it blew my mind! It's so good for the price and worth all the research I conducted while in college! All the best mate.
This minimalist way of making a film is my kind of production.
Me too 👍🏻
Hope you enjoy the BTS! Any questions, feel free to smash them here 👇
To say this behind the scenes edit was excellent would be an immense understatement
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it!
Super proud to have been a part of this 🙌 Tommy you are an inspiration!
Legend Al thank you. Always a pleasure
You guys work is Amazing...Peace
Thanks bud!
Brilliant - storytelling, well done. Thanks for this BTS, very inspirational.
Thanks very much, glad you liked it!

Thank you mate 🙏
This is just brilliant!
Rowe Films always loved your work
Thanks! :)

Thanks Dave!
This is amazing content mate 👏🏻 So cool to see how you capture everything. Thank you for sharing, cheers from Norway 🇳🇴🎥
Welcome mate. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you
So much beauty in a project made with such passion.🔥 😉 a fan from The Netherlands ❤️
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed it
That Drone set up though! 🤩🤩
Haha worked a treat!
@@RoweFilms it certainly did!
Excellently made mate, I am mind blown good job.
Thanks mate!
Amazing backstage , thank you bro
👍🏻😊
Beautiful film and a very impressive fpv setup.
Cheers dude!
Very nice.

How good does the Canon FD lens flare look ;-) 10/10
lovely innit! 👍
@@RoweFilms Try the 24mm FD 1.4L ;-) but the 28mm FD 2.8 SSC is a gem.
Awesome work,,
Cheers mate!
Very interesting 👍
Thanks!
Excellent video 🔥🎥 What ND filter do You use?
Thanks! This one 👇👍🏻

@@biglazybeastproductions yeh bang on mate with you there 👍🏻
Is this better in low light than the red Komodo ? If so how much better ?
any info abou the rig at 1:16 ? Thanks
What filters did you use?
Tiffen BPM and Freewell variable ND
Great work 👏🏼
