Shouldn't we be shooting the movie about the wrench that through no fault of it's own gets found by a guy, who then abuses it around town to fix things for people? Your idea is too human-centric for the modern age of today I think. Wrench too, and all that, you know the score...
My first DSLR was a 7D. Not knowing any better I tried to hang out with other photographers, but then realized they were snickering because my lenses didn't have the red ring. I went home that night and cried, not ashamed to admit it, then I knew what I had to do. I got some red paint and no longer did I have to hang my head in shame. Since then my life has changed and my boss gave me a raise so that I could afford full frame with L lenses.
I’ll be honest too much bokeh makes it look like a cheap greenscreen. It’s giving instagram photography fake hdr strength on 10 enhanced contrast and colors.
There was a scene in Game of Thrones Season 1 episode 2 where the king is sitting eating and having dialogue with another character. The background of soldiers is completely out of focus and it looks like two layers composited together.
A lot of the work we do when it comes to lighting on film set is about working around the restrictions of the camera, we literally put tape on lightbulbs to make sure the lampshade stays in the dynamic range of the camera
@@imanolbourdoncle3466 with how cold LED bulbs are we will put black duck tape on the bulb to block off some of the light and reduce the intensity of the high light
Why not buy smart lights that can be adjusted with a phone app? I just put some in the cart even though my budget to start a photography business is only 10k. :P I got the ones Aputure makes because they have a battery built inside the bulb.
@@no_tread_ the smart bulbs are not a quick on set especially with set up time, they often have worse colour at the same price and one of the advantages to using tape on lamp bulbs is that the side facing the camera can have no light and the other side can be completely open. This is great behind a lamp shade as the shade stays bright but is exposed and the wall behind looks like it has a bright light shining on it while keeping everything exposed. Bare in mind a lot of these films I’m working on might have seemingly “large budgets” but most of that money is not going to the camera department so we don’t have money spare for cool toys only the best bare essentials we can afford
There was a great phrase I learned while I briefly worked in Hollywood. “Content is king!” The subject matter is always more important than the gear it was shot on. Some of my favorite movies were shot on consumer and prosumer video cameras! “The Celebration” was shot on a Sony handycam. “Pieces of April” was I believe shot on the Sony PD-150, or “Once” was shot on the Sony HVR-Z1E another prosumer video camera. To your point, focus on making good content with the gear you currently have!
This is so true. There's an Indian film (or films if you were in India for its release), called Gangs Of Wasseypur. The DoP, Rajeev Ravi used a bunch of Canon 5D Mark IIs and 7Ds along with his main film rig to shoot some of the fight sequences. It looked fantastic upon release.
Your point about cinema rigs and all the people it takes to operate them is so true. It’s like, “there’s no IBIS, no viewfinder, and no auto focus because this is a cinema camera and it takes 10 accessories and two people to operate it”…. No thanks, give me a G9ii so I can actually go out my front door and make something.
He is telling me not to buy a canon full frame with the 85m lens... something I wasn't considering... but now after watching this, I want that lens and camera.
Get the Canon 85mm f1.8 lens, look up the imaging from this lens on flickr you'll be happy with it. Its lighter, has decent bokeh, focus's faster and is "value" for the money. Also watch some comparison youtube videos of the Canon 85mm f1.2 versus f1.8
There is one thing missing from you demonstration of sensor size. That the smaller inexpensive one is more than adequate. 110%. Gear is NOT the most important. But light is. Your demonstration as you said was in a nice field of nature against the urban sky line. Looks great. Right? I wonder why you did not mention what time of day and that sun was behind you. Magic Hour. I wish I could attach an image taken with iPhone 13 Pro Max. To emphasize that it light is most important of all. Kudos for saying it is not he gear. Perhaps as an adjunct to your conversation on this issue, a talk about light from the sun and available fixtures would be in order. Your argument that all the grip equipment and staff you use is absolutely correct. Talking about that kind and quality of light that is needed though comes from learning what light sources are and how to leverage it. Watching your early attempts to shot shows that you became aware of this idea. I would like to see a talk about that.
Dancing was on point from the waist down, just do nothing with your hands and it will instantly level up. I agree on the gear, use whatever you got and learn how to make a shot with it, play to it's strengths etc. The last shot is very trippy with all that toneh.
That autofocus holding when you went out of frame made me buy a Toneh shirt on the spot (GH5 user). As an aspirational camera nerd I’ve learnt more from you than anyone else and had more fun.
The biggest lies to RUclipsrs about cameras for RUclips... 1. You need Full Frame. 2. If it's not 4k or higher it's garbage. 3. It must be Cinematic. If you know how to use it, most any camera that shoots video, made in the last 10-20 years is good enough for RUclips, depending on what you're filming. If you are just shooting talking head stuff in your bedroom, a web cam is good enough, even 720p. Use the free version of Davinci, upscale it to 4k, and 99% of the people viewing your content won't be able to tell that it's not a 4k beast. Technology is awesome. Most anything else you can use an old cellphone. Not your current one. Don't use the old one as a trade-in, keep it. Then remove any app that wont help you to film, turn off all notifications, put it in airplane mode, silence your current phone, stick it in your pocket, and shoot with your old phone. An old camcorder or a Gopro 3 is also useable. Cinematic means degrade the image from a modern camera to look like a film camera from the 1950's to the 80's. The buzzword "cinematic" is a joke, if you're not filming something meant to be watched on a movie theater screen. Its phricken RUclips 99.9% of "content creators" are not going to be the next Cecil B DeMille. You dont need expensive lighting, any light source that is bright enough, doesn't change the color of what you are filming, and doesn't cause rolling shutter, is good enough. Truth, audio quality is more important than video quality. That said you don't need to spend a ton of money on that either. The viewers just need to be able to hear you clearly, without a bunch of extra noise. There's tons of ways to improve audio on the cheap. For instance a cheap wired cellphone headset works as good as most cheap lav mics and will sound better than the mics built into your camera. Any jerk telling you, you have to spend a bunch of money for gear to make RUclips videos, doesn't deserve your likes or subscriptions. Do it anyway, they are just hobos trying to make a living.
Came for the topic of Full Frame vs Crop Sensors and stayed for the whole length just because of you man you're the type of dude I would bump into and wind up having a several hour long conversation with lol. Great content dude!
Lol loved the fuji comment. I use a fuji xh2 as my main camera for work since it came out. I use 4/3 and full frame too. It's all about the right camera for the job. But outside of RUclips/ social media... the fast aperture blur is not used much. For studio shoots I'm usually at f4 full frame. Not a lot of clients want Professional headshots where one eye is all that's tack sharp ficus. Most companies want everything visible in a scene so I'm usually no faster than f11 full frame. Don't get me wrong. It's fun. Great for expression. But... the new photo/video career is not commercial work etc. It's RUclips and social media.
Yes, your typical movie interior character shot is something like full frame equivalent f4. They're trying to make the background not distract while keeping a sense of place. Not throw it into oblivion which would draw attention away from the character.
I've been watching your channel for quite awhile. You don't scream at me. You don't talk at five thousand miles per hour. You make me smile and I learn stuff from you. I've been making micro budget films for ten years. In 2013 I bought a Canon 5D Mark III, a 50mm 1.2L, 24-70mm 2.8L and a 70-200mm 2.8L...and some lights I bought from Home Depot 🙂 I'll never sell any of my kit, but need to move to something with great auto focus for video, but don't want to give up Canon color science. Which full frame Canon mirrorless camera is best for auto focus and filmmaking? Thank you.
@@mdindestin Just yesterday I started looking at the R6 MK II...apparently, most reviews say it's solid eye detect, but some say it's still not as good as Sony A7s111 or IV and that it hunts. If I can eliminate a Focus Puller on set then that's a game changer for me as a micro budget filmmaker. Gimbals solve a lot of stab issues so even though IBIS is nice it's less important than eye detect for me. Do you have hunting problems? I would have switched to Sony awhile back but can't seem to let go of Canon color. Thanks!
@@shadowmossentertainment7430 I don't have any hunting issues on my R6II as long as I set the subject detection to human instead of leaving it on auto. Auto subject detection mostly works fine, but the specific modes are noticeably better (though AF will work poorly if the mode is set wrong, e.g. still on Animal when shooting people). It is a fantastic hybrid camera, but also keep in mind the R8 is virtually the same minus IBIS (and a smaller battery) so if budget matters, then that could be a strong alternative in the Canon sphere.
@@shadowmossentertainment7430 I'd say you could definitely get rid of your focus puller. I agree with everything ChristoperGoetting stated. There is a lot of confusion out there on the auto focus settings. It would be a great topic for this channel. Till then, this is a great one: ruclips.net/video/uFFKciYlxjQ/видео.html The colors are beautiful with Canon, but if I could have switched to Sony, I would have, but because I have a big investment in older Canon glass, and I like the vintage L glass, I didn't. By the way, the adapter for DSLR lenses to the mirrorless mount works flawlessly and because there are no optics in the adapter, there is no degradation in image quality.
I wanted to hate the Nikon switch, but the colors out of this and the past few videos have been incredible. Some of the best looking videos you've done this year.
I’ve watched about 45 RUclips videos of a ac7ii scratching my head just because i wanted a new camera (not content creation) for home videos and junk. But your lil dance convinced me I’m ok with my zv1 and a6300 thanks for saving me a lot of cash!
I'd expect cinema to be shot in RAW. The price of the memory alone would bankrupt most youtubers. Also the lighting, I have small, cheap lights. Hollywood has huge rigs. I'm also quite happy with the autofocus of the Sony A7 IV. I can select things on screen and it follows it and the face/eye recognition is very good.
The MFT Panasonic 10-25mm f/1.7 and 25-50mm f/1.7 combo are 20-100mm FF equivalent with f/3.4 FF equivalent DOF. Most movies are shot around f/3.5-5.6 or so FF equivalent DOF. You know this Kasey. You mentioned a year ago about how when watching the movie Glass with Bruce Willis how you liked seeing the background. You just get suckered in by the scammers promoting getting you bankrupt with a $30,000 Nikon setup. Be smart. The perfect setup already exists :)
I got the Gh6 and both of the f/1.7 zooms, recently gotten a good deal on a used Canon R5C and got the RF 24-105 f4 L for it. The thing is, FF is great and all, but damn its so big and heavy. When I need more than f1.7 i got the Olympus 1.2 primes for that, yeah I could get more separation with an FF 1.8, but then there is to little in focus even for pictures.... I will probably keep my beloved GH6, since for me a FF setup is just a step back.
Upgraded recently to Z6ii and really appreciate the autofocus! Lenses are coming along. The Z 40mm is great. I got the Z 24-200 for event footage and it’s not bad for an f4-6.3. Really nice 10-bit Log output to a Ninja V.
@@xmanreturn I’m not sure the ZF was available when I upgraded but I bought the Z6ii used for around $1400 which seemed like a good value for being able to get Nikon’s autofocus and 10bit Log output to a Ninja V.
The toneh on the R8 had me having Tony Northrup flash backs! 🤣And dude, I was calling you out for crip walking, and as I was about to comment, you said it, too! 🤣You had the steps going on, Bruh!
Bokeh definitely way overdone. I'm part of a few camera groups on Facebook and often recommend the 24-120f4 lens when asked about lenses... only to harassed by GWCs that only recommend 2.8 zooms and 1.x primes. Idk maybe it's just me but I RARELY ever shoot wide open and usually live at f4-5.6.
All depends on the job. Different tools for different scenarios. If you do a lot of low-light events (concerts, late-night dinners, etc) with terrible lighting, then f1.2 can really save the day. Better to have the wider aperture option when you need it, and just stop down to f5.6 for groups, than to not have it and not be able to get the shot. Completely dependent on your needs and the desired look. And budget! lol
I can tell you’re having such a good time with your videos since you got the z30, a camera everyone didn’t even consider so you got one for a deal and it’s been a tool that has made your process easier thus keeping you doing what you like! I run a z30 40mm tonneh2 as well and it’s been to the mountains of Colorado and have made prints with it. No one can tell a difference. I’m being serious. It has a punch to it!
The end of this video made my morning... And I dig the message, too. I've considered making some RUclips videos for fun to see how I like it, and being techie, I get wrapped up in the technology instead of the ideas for the content, which I know is the wrong thing but still hard to not do it. I got a Nikon d3200 laying around from when I dabbled in photography for a minute. That thing will probably make perfectly good videos if I just pay attention to content and lighting. Nice to see you getting along with that Nikon these days. I still kind of want to see you make a video with the RX100 that MarcusPix extolls.
Brandon, I have a Nikon D3200 too lol.. I tried making one video with it in the last 10 years, but the autofocus motor in the 18-55 is so loud you can hear it in the shot!!! Probably works if you can nail manual focus (like Kasey always does :) and have good lighting. I made a couple of RUclips videos for my music channel, with my iPhone, wanted to do it forever .. just go for it, record & upload, it's fun! And figuring all the tech out (especially sound) is fun too if you like that kind of stuff! I'll actually try with the D3200 again, I have the 35mm F1.8G lens as my only prime.. it might be good for video (if my living room is big enough, that's like 50mm equivalent), now I'm curious 😃
If you have crap audio the relative image quality won't matter nearly as much. Many experiments have been made with clearly superior cinema video compared to lower quality -- but good audio put with the worse video and bad audio with the great video and people say the worse video looked better... sound is really that powerful! (And this dude's audio is spot-on!)
The mini LF is FF there partner. Red sensors are mostly FF now as well. Sure, there are some cinema cameras that are S35 but all the newer models are FF. This would've been a great idea for a video in 2017.
I switched to a Nikon Z6 with a 24-70 f4 S. It's gorgeous! And xqd cards are awesome! Really good choice with the 40f2 ! It's an excellent lens!! I want a z30 as B cam!
I shot a music video by myself at Joshua Tree in California and later found out half of the time I was slightly out of focus. Auto focus can definitely make or break you in some situations. I could do better now, but Joshua Tree is a 1000 miles away.
I enjoyed the simplicity of this video. I really do hope the autism era of fast cuts, fake enthusiasm and $100k budget videos are past us. I really enjoy the authentic videos like this. You sir... Inspired me to just whip a camera out and make videos
I want to get A6700 for 4k 120 fps. I tried it out and it looked nice. A7IV 1080 120 fps looks similar, but I’d like the extra resolution to zoom in in Davinci for epic squirrel closeups.
As a Rental House owner that owns an Alexa Mini LF (full-frame) and an Alexa 35 (super 35) I can report that the Mini LF goes out 10 times to 1 compared to the 35. Both rentals are the same price and are kitted out the same.
One of the best movies of 2023 was The Creator and it was shot full frame. Cameras are just tools to achieve the stories we want to tell. How we get there is up to the ones creating it.
FALSE STATEMENT!!! I've been working in the movie business for more than 30 years, and I've used almost every camera manufacturer available, from Arri to Panavison to Sony, Panasonic etc, and even with the arrival of the Alexa 35 last year (S35 sensor), the larger sensor cameras like Alexa LF (Large Format), Sony Venice (slightly larger than LF), the Alexa 65 (almost double the size of FF...), the Red Monstro/Weapon and Panavision DXL are all very much used and VERY MUCH LOVED sensor sizes and Hollywood deeply loves them. And BTW, FF and larger sensor sizes are often preferred not just for resolution, other reasons may be considered when deciding to go with bigger sensor sizes. I do agree with your statement that content creators absolutely do not need FF, but again, one may want to use FF for other reasons than simply more resolution. Sensor size has nothing to do with resolution, ie 6K Red dragon is almost 4x smaller then Alexa 65 at 6.5K. The look, the visual rendition or feel of a given sensor, or even simply just wanting shallow DOF may be some of the artistical reasons to go with a larger sensor. I just felt compelled to put my 2 cents here, Hollywood -does not- hate FF.
The biggest priority for RUclipsrs should be to get a camera that makes content production faster/seamless, is affordable, and has a quality that is not off-putting for the audience. It's essential to take into account the opportunity cost. If you spend 2k on a camera but still record with a 50$ microphone, 50$ lights, and a barebone background. You'll get better "video" by getting a cheaper camera and upgrading the microphone, the lights, and the background. Too many channels become autistic on 1 aspect of "video" and completely ignore the others as if those are not part of the final video too. Ultimately the audience judges the video as a whole.
ANY new camera be it full frame, apsc or MFT can produce movie grade footage because they all have logs, 4k (many new 6k or even 8k) and can shoot raw. If u know a thing or two about lightning u can make a movie-like setup with ease. The only thing why full frame is considered better is because of its low light capabilities, and the reason hollywood doesnt need that is because they have whole dedicated teams for making lightning. You dont really need fullframe but for professional work where u cant have perfect impact over your lightning those low light capabilities are a must, otherwise youre gonna have bad footage. If u do studio work with lights set up apsc is gonna do more than fine, but u will generally not be taken serious if u dont own a fullframer, no matter of your end result.
Good Morning! Gotta get that hyperfocal distance calculator going!! LOL! That "blurred out to oblivion" almost looks like you're doing a green screen. Love the dance sequence. I think you should have the three girls from the intro dance in that 3D pop set up. Thanks for the morning laughs. Have a great weekend!
If you want to see the background with your 85mm f1.2, just stop it down to f4 or f5.6 or whatever you need. You don't have to blow out the background unless you want to.
@@Yupthereitism light barely matters in video when shooting at equivalent to 180 degree shutters or one over twice the frame rate so ~1/50 at 24p or 1/60 at 30p or 1/125 at 60p etc. You probably need NDs to just shoot at f/1.2 to begin with.
Good title for a video. I think Hollywood uses Super 35 but some have adopted full frame as well. Sometimes it comes down to the lens choices of Hollywood and how big the budget is. Use what you got, but buy decent lenses for the effect you want. Color grading can also help.
"The smaller the sensor, the cheaper the look". True dat. The footage I get from my Z8 or Z9 looks so much nicer than the footage I get out of my Z30. But, the Z30 is much easier to get around with when I'm doing my own hobo RUclips channel.
Being outta sync with the rhythm makes it funnier. I am pretty sure you've got the same VHS Napoleon Dynamite picked up.. and your moves coming along nicely man.
Old timer (45 fun years) who pulled focus at the tail end of 35. Used everything, Arri BL, 435/535, Moviecam, Arricam, G2, Milleniums and even the occasional Aaton. The VAST majority of cinema was shot in spherical 35. Maybe 10-15% in anamorphic. And there were focus pullers who wouldn’t even take those jobs (IYKYK). Anyone who thinks that you need FF aka Vistavision doesn’t know how larger formats were used (and it wasn’t in any of the shots we’re looking at in this video). Yes, Quentin did things a little different. But Quentin is different. Have dinner with the man and you’ll understand… Currently shooting with a Z9. But if Apple Raw ever comes to Resolve, I’m going back to the H2-S like pronto.
You’re pretty wacky and it’s awesome 😂. At work I mostly use m43 (old-school GH5 still going strong!) and it’s perfect for just about everything. But every time I shoot an interview I wish I had my personal full-frame camera because to defocus the background to my liking (so it’s at least noticeably not a camcorder) I have to use a telephoto prime, put the camera weirdly far away and hope the room is big enough to place the subject far from a wall, and it’s definitely going to be a tight shot. I even use speed boosters and fast lenses. If I brought my fx3 I could use a zoom lens if I wanted to, place the camera at a comfortable distance from the subject and not only do I have the option of a medium shot (instead of being stuck with closeup) but I can even stop down if I need to. If it’s not the most ideal location in terms of lighting and my small production kit doesn’t have enough lighting accessories to refine it, I can rely on the few extra stops of dynamic range to smooth things out. There’s just a more comfortable amount of wiggle room for my… yes… hobo production process 😂.
The little quick step at 12:44 was actually fairly cool. In other news... I still have a WX350 (as seen earlier), and it's 30X zoom is handy for seeing if pizza is ready across the street at Gino's.
The huge surge with full frame has more to do with the history of 35mm film and the best vintage glass being designed for that. My old Pre-AI Nikkor 28mm lens was about $4K when it dropped, you can now pick it up $250-$400 and it has a lotttttt of character. The field of view is what most people are chasing after, even if it isn't what is considered "Hollywood quality". Plus the full frame sensors people have is the most reasonable price point you can get without jumping into digital medium format (that takes video) or IMAX, which'll give you an even more niche look. It has less to do with what Hollywood uses, but more to do with a more niche look to tell your stories. Just my perspective on why full frame weirdly became the norm. Plus how could we all chase that beautiful bokeh without full frame 😅
It’s about what you’re trying to do. Are you making narrative films? Experimental video? Documentary stories? Vlogging hybrid? What story is your video film telling? How does your choices when film SERVE the story/content? Make deliberate choices that have motivation and reasoning.
The human eye has a focal length of about f/2.1-f/3.8 so anything beyond that sometimes feels manufactured anyway. The most impressive image is the most immersive image
We are basically limited by the lacklustre aps-c lens quality which are designed to fit in the aps-c budget, so therefore you basically want a full frame for the lens only 😊
@@robertfontaine3650 I am seriously skeptical about Sony g lenses. Absolutely zero 3d pop and no contrast. Even sigma is better which is not a good thing…. I stayed away from sony for that reason and went all in on Leica tl2 and tl 35 1.4 and don’t regret it one bit.
@18yearsoldnot you can actually use full frame lenses on aps-c. You'll even get less distortion because the sensor would be using the central portion of the lens angle of view
@@aldebaran4332 absolutely agree! I like using full frame vintage lenses on aps-c because they are also not so sharp around the edges. Sigma 45mm 2.8 I-series is like the perfect modern take on a vintage lens and I use it between my sigma fp and Leica tl2, although Leica aps-c lenses are better still, and I actually use Leica aps-c on my sigma fp in crop mode. Toneh Northrop did a good video about why you shouldn’t put full frame glass on aps-c btw. Apparently aps-c lenses have more resolving power but lack all the other good stuff so it’s not about the sharpness😜 Check that out if you haven’t seen it
That’s not true. You have the viltrox pro series and the 13mm. The “sigma trio”. The sirui nightwalker cine lenses. There are a lot of bangers and most of them are pretty recent.
Man, I love this video. You hit every nail of solo shooting thinking. Spec sheet chaser here. Have a k5 and a s23... I could shoot on either but I'm like oh no I need a r6mkii or Panasonics recent release. Buy the camera you need not the one you want. If you're shooting and the camera is the problem sure but shoot anyways
If I DGAF about bokeh, need some low light performance, and want to be able to crop in to follow myself sprinting & doing other exercises from far away in slow motion, am I better off with an A6700 or a ZV-E1? GoPro 11 turns into a potato when cropped and the 1080 120fps on my a6400 is equally rough.
From what I've experienced, the lens choice is almost more important than the camera choice in many ways. And knowing how to use the camera matters. You can spend $10K on the best gear but if you don't understand how to light a shot or do something else that's silly it doesn't matter how much you spend. Or worse, don't have a good script to begin with. A lot of movie failures happen in the writing room before a single frame of footage goes in the can!
Sharper lenses are for high megapixel cameras. ALL of these lenses fort mirrorless cameras are over 8MP/4K. M12, CS mount, and C Mount lenses are lower megapixel and you can very clearly see the difference. Barrel distortion and focus breathing are more of an issue.

The dance was dope 😂
My first DSLR was a 7D. Not knowing any better I tried to hang out with other photographers, but then realized they were snickering because my lenses didn't have the red ring. I went home that night and cried, not ashamed to admit it, then I knew what I had to do. I got some red paint and no longer did I have to hang my head in shame. Since then my life has changed and my boss gave me a raise so that I could afford full frame with L lenses.

I’ll be honest too much bokeh makes it look like a cheap greenscreen. It’s giving instagram photography fake hdr strength on 10 enhanced contrast and colors.

True
There was a scene in Game of Thrones Season 1 episode 2 where the king is sitting eating and having dialogue with another character. The background of soldiers is completely out of focus and it looks like two layers composited together.
Ignore these fools too high on compositing tricks…toneh is God.

I’ve always wondered why other camera reviewers don’t dance. That’s why this channel is truly on another level.
A lot of the work we do when it comes to lighting on film set is about working around the restrictions of the camera, we literally put tape on lightbulbs to make sure the lampshade stays in the dynamic range of the camera
what do you mean tape ?
@@imanolbourdoncle3466 with how cold LED bulbs are we will put black duck tape on the bulb to block off some of the light and reduce the intensity of the high light

@@no_tread_ the smart bulbs are not a quick on set especially with set up time, they often have worse colour at the same price and one of the advantages to using tape on lamp bulbs is that the side facing the camera can have no light and the other side can be completely open. This is great behind a lamp shade as the shade stays bright but is exposed and the wall behind looks like it has a bright light shining on it while keeping everything exposed.
Bare in mind a lot of these films I’m working on might have seemingly “large budgets” but most of that money is not going to the camera department so we don’t have money spare for cool toys only the best bare essentials we can afford
But why not just use tape? Gaffing tape is on hand at every shoot@@no_tread_
There was a great phrase I learned while I briefly worked in Hollywood. “Content is king!” The subject matter is always more important than the gear it was shot on. Some of my favorite movies were shot on consumer and prosumer video cameras! “The Celebration” was shot on a Sony handycam. “Pieces of April” was I believe shot on the Sony PD-150, or “Once” was shot on the Sony HVR-Z1E another prosumer video camera.
To your point, focus on making good content with the gear you currently have!
This is so true. There's an Indian film (or films if you were in India for its release), called Gangs Of Wasseypur. The DoP, Rajeev Ravi used a bunch of Canon 5D Mark IIs and 7Ds along with his main film rig to shoot some of the fight sequences. It looked fantastic upon release.
Laughable, “content is King”, when all they want to make is sequels of Comic books😂
Your point about cinema rigs and all the people it takes to operate them is so true. It’s like, “there’s no IBIS, no viewfinder, and no auto focus because this is a cinema camera and it takes 10 accessories and two people to operate it”…. No thanks, give me a G9ii so I can actually go out my front door and make something.
This comment is so pointless buddy.
Very well put and oh so true as well👍
He is telling me not to buy a canon full frame with the 85m lens... something I wasn't considering... but now after watching this, I want that lens and camera.
same here, I always do the opposite of what he tells me because, he can't tell what to do - HE IS NOT MY REAL DAD
Get the Canon 85mm f1.8 lens, look up the imaging from this lens on flickr you'll be happy with it. Its lighter, has decent bokeh, focus's faster and is "value" for the money. Also watch some comparison youtube videos of the Canon 85mm f1.2 versus f1.8
Only problem with an 85mm lens is that you have to get an Uber from the camera to the subject because it's such a long lens
@@karmatrainingEspecially on a crop sensor camera.
On my Fuji I use the 60mm lens which is a full frame equivalent of 90mm.
This is some of the best camera review dancing I've seen to date.
There is one thing missing from you demonstration of sensor size. That the smaller inexpensive one is more than adequate. 110%. Gear is NOT the most important. But light is. Your demonstration as you said was in a nice field of nature against the urban sky line. Looks great. Right? I wonder why you did not mention what time of day and that sun was behind you. Magic Hour. I wish I could attach an image taken with iPhone 13 Pro Max. To emphasize that it light is most important of all. Kudos for saying it is not he gear.
Perhaps as an adjunct to your conversation on this issue, a talk about light from the sun and available fixtures would be in order. Your argument that all the grip equipment and staff you use is absolutely correct. Talking about that kind and quality of light that is needed though comes from learning what light sources are and how to leverage it. Watching your early attempts to shot shows that you became aware of this idea. I would like to see a talk about that.
Dancing was on point from the waist down, just do nothing with your hands and it will instantly level up. I agree on the gear, use whatever you got and learn how to make a shot with it, play to it's strengths etc. The last shot is very trippy with all that toneh.
That dance scene has exposed a whole new side to this channel. And I’m here for it.
That autofocus holding when you went out of frame made me buy a Toneh shirt on the spot (GH5 user). As an aspirational camera nerd I’ve learnt more from you than anyone else and had more fun.
You are one of those people who is funny without having to try. Made my day watching this.
The biggest lies to RUclipsrs about cameras for RUclips...
1. You need Full Frame.
2. If it's not 4k or higher it's garbage.
3. It must be Cinematic.
If you know how to use it, most any camera that shoots video, made in the last 10-20 years is good enough for RUclips, depending on what you're filming.
If you are just shooting talking head stuff in your bedroom, a web cam is good enough, even 720p. Use the free version of Davinci, upscale it to 4k, and 99% of the people viewing your content won't be able to tell that it's not a 4k beast. Technology is awesome.
Most anything else you can use an old cellphone. Not your current one. Don't use the old one as a trade-in, keep it. Then remove any app that wont help you to film, turn off all notifications, put it in airplane mode, silence your current phone, stick it in your pocket, and shoot with your old phone. An old camcorder or a Gopro 3 is also useable.
Cinematic means degrade the image from a modern camera to look like a film camera from the 1950's to the 80's. The buzzword "cinematic" is a joke, if you're not filming something meant to be watched on a movie theater screen. Its phricken RUclips 99.9% of "content creators" are not going to be the next Cecil B DeMille.
You dont need expensive lighting, any light source that is bright enough, doesn't change the color of what you are filming, and doesn't cause rolling shutter, is good enough.
Truth, audio quality is more important than video quality. That said you don't need to spend a ton of money on that either. The viewers just need to be able to hear you clearly, without a bunch of extra noise. There's tons of ways to improve audio on the cheap. For instance a cheap wired cellphone headset works as good as most cheap lav mics and will sound better than the mics built into your camera.
Any jerk telling you, you have to spend a bunch of money for gear to make RUclips videos, doesn't deserve your likes or subscriptions. Do it anyway, they are just hobos trying to make a living.
Came for the topic of Full Frame vs Crop Sensors and stayed for the whole length just because of you man you're the type of dude I would bump into and wind up having a several hour long conversation with lol. Great content dude!
Lol loved the fuji comment. I use a fuji xh2 as my main camera for work since it came out. I use 4/3 and full frame too. It's all about the right camera for the job. But outside of RUclips/ social media... the fast aperture blur is not used much. For studio shoots I'm usually at f4 full frame. Not a lot of clients want Professional headshots where one eye is all that's tack sharp ficus. Most companies want everything visible in a scene so I'm usually no faster than f11 full frame. Don't get me wrong. It's fun. Great for expression. But... the new photo/video career is not commercial work etc. It's RUclips and social media.
Yes, your typical movie interior character shot is something like full frame equivalent f4. They're trying to make the background not distract while keeping a sense of place. Not throw it into oblivion which would draw attention away from the character.
I've been watching your channel for quite awhile. You don't scream at me. You don't talk at five thousand miles per hour. You make me smile and I learn stuff from you. I've been making micro budget films for ten years. In 2013 I bought a Canon 5D Mark III, a 50mm 1.2L, 24-70mm 2.8L and a 70-200mm 2.8L...and some lights I bought from Home Depot 🙂 I'll never sell any of my kit, but need to move to something with great auto focus for video, but don't want to give up Canon color science. Which full frame Canon mirrorless camera is best for auto focus and filmmaking? Thank you.
I was in a similar situation and loving my R6 MK II.
@@mdindestin Just yesterday I started looking at the R6 MK II...apparently, most reviews say it's solid eye detect, but some say it's still not as good as Sony A7s111 or IV and that it hunts. If I can eliminate a Focus Puller on set then that's a game changer for me as a micro budget filmmaker. Gimbals solve a lot of stab issues so even though IBIS is nice it's less important than eye detect for me. Do you have hunting problems? I would have switched to Sony awhile back but can't seem to let go of Canon color. Thanks!
@@shadowmossentertainment7430 I don't have any hunting issues on my R6II as long as I set the subject detection to human instead of leaving it on auto. Auto subject detection mostly works fine, but the specific modes are noticeably better (though AF will work poorly if the mode is set wrong, e.g. still on Animal when shooting people). It is a fantastic hybrid camera, but also keep in mind the R8 is virtually the same minus IBIS (and a smaller battery) so if budget matters, then that could be a strong alternative in the Canon sphere.
@@shadowmossentertainment7430 I'd say you could definitely get rid of your focus puller. I agree with everything ChristoperGoetting stated. There is a lot of confusion out there on the auto focus settings. It would be a great topic for this channel. Till then, this is a great one: ruclips.net/video/uFFKciYlxjQ/видео.html
The colors are beautiful with Canon, but if I could have switched to Sony, I would have, but because I have a big investment in older Canon glass, and I like the vintage L glass, I didn't. By the way, the adapter for DSLR lenses to the mirrorless mount works flawlessly and because there are no optics in the adapter, there is no degradation in image quality.
Thanks. I've rented a 5D MarkIV once and it hunted a lot.@@mdindestin
That dance outro just kept going... and going... and it was gold.
I wanted to hate the Nikon switch, but the colors out of this and the past few videos have been incredible. Some of the best looking videos you've done this year.
Yeah totally agree. And that 85mm on the Canon has got some brutal CA on the buildings
Nikon is my everything.
nikon have the boost up image shadow feature since its first cmos dslr may be that is the reason :)))
Only competition so far is the Black Magic
@@ftlbabyI still don't think anything comes close to the look of the OG when he gets it all set up right
I’ve watched about 45 RUclips videos of a ac7ii scratching my head just because i wanted a new camera (not content creation) for home videos and junk. But your lil dance convinced me I’m ok with my zv1 and a6300 thanks for saving me a lot of cash!
I'd expect cinema to be shot in RAW. The price of the memory alone would bankrupt most youtubers. Also the lighting, I have small, cheap lights. Hollywood has huge rigs.
I'm also quite happy with the autofocus of the Sony A7 IV. I can select things on screen and it follows it and the face/eye recognition is very good.
"I chose this. I stood next to it." I lost it.😂😂😂 Been there!
The MFT Panasonic 10-25mm f/1.7 and 25-50mm f/1.7 combo are 20-100mm FF equivalent with f/3.4 FF equivalent DOF. Most movies are shot around f/3.5-5.6 or so FF equivalent DOF. You know this Kasey. You mentioned a year ago about how when watching the movie Glass with Bruce Willis how you liked seeing the background. You just get suckered in by the scammers promoting getting you bankrupt with a $30,000 Nikon setup. Be smart. The perfect setup already exists :)
distance between the subject and bokeh is different if you compare only focal lenght.. MTF vs FullFrame,..
I got the Gh6 and both of the f/1.7 zooms, recently gotten a good deal on a used Canon R5C and got the RF 24-105 f4 L for it. The thing is, FF is great and all, but damn its so big and heavy. When I need more than f1.7 i got the Olympus 1.2 primes for that, yeah I could get more separation with an FF 1.8, but then there is to little in focus even for pictures....
I will probably keep my beloved GH6, since for me a FF setup is just a step back.
@@nicodraxler4950 GH6 is more compelling than Panasonic's newer S5 full frame cameras. It really is a gem
@@nicodraxler4950 The LUMIX s5 is smaller and lighter than the GH5 for example.
I'm making a documentary with my back up cam right now to stick it to Hollywood
Upgraded recently to Z6ii and really appreciate the autofocus! Lenses are coming along. The Z 40mm is great. I got the Z 24-200 for event footage and it’s not bad for an f4-6.3. Really nice 10-bit Log output to a Ninja V.
Why not ZF vs z6ii ?
@@aaronmoore3050 upgraded from a Nikon D7200 so it’s was a big improvement.
@@xmanreturn I’m not sure the ZF was available when I upgraded but I bought the Z6ii used for around $1400 which seemed like a good value for being able to get Nikon’s autofocus and 10bit Log output to a Ninja V.
The toneh on the R8 had me having Tony Northrup flash backs! 🤣And dude, I was calling you out for crip walking, and as I was about to comment, you said it, too! 🤣You had the steps going on, Bruh!
Great thoughts!
Another difference is long-telephoto is smaller, stealthier and cheaper on aps-c.
Man, that dance is hypnotic, please repeat it but in slowmo, millions likes for that!
I"m glad a discovered this channel. It's nice to have someone give their point of view with a sense of humor 👍
Bokeh definitely way overdone. I'm part of a few camera groups on Facebook and often recommend the 24-120f4 lens when asked about lenses... only to harassed by GWCs that only recommend 2.8 zooms and 1.x primes.
Idk maybe it's just me but I RARELY ever shoot wide open and usually live at f4-5.6.
I often recommend the Sony 24-105f4. Super sharp across it's entire range. There's a reason they used it on numerous camera launch events.
All depends on the job. Different tools for different scenarios. If you do a lot of low-light events (concerts, late-night dinners, etc) with terrible lighting, then f1.2 can really save the day. Better to have the wider aperture option when you need it, and just stop down to f5.6 for groups, than to not have it and not be able to get the shot. Completely dependent on your needs and the desired look. And budget! lol
I can tell you’re having such a good time with your videos since you got the z30, a camera everyone didn’t even consider so you got one for a deal and it’s been a tool that has made your process easier thus keeping you doing what you like!
I run a z30 40mm tonneh2 as well and it’s been to the mountains of Colorado and have made prints with it. No one can tell a difference. I’m being serious. It has a punch to it!
He looks happier since then 😊
As someone who just bought a Z30 with the kit lens for $400 open box... yeah, this camera is crazy value
As a long term Nikon fan boy, its great to se you using the Nikon Z30 etc.
The end of this video made my morning... And I dig the message, too. I've considered making some RUclips videos for fun to see how I like it, and being techie, I get wrapped up in the technology instead of the ideas for the content, which I know is the wrong thing but still hard to not do it.
I got a Nikon d3200 laying around from when I dabbled in photography for a minute. That thing will probably make perfectly good videos if I just pay attention to content and lighting.
Nice to see you getting along with that Nikon these days.
I still kind of want to see you make a video with the RX100 that MarcusPix extolls.
It's more expensive than my Nikon setup lol.
Fair enough. I'll see myself out ... 😛@@cameraconspiracies
Brandon, I have a Nikon D3200 too lol.. I tried making one video with it in the last 10 years, but the autofocus motor in the 18-55 is so loud you can hear it in the shot!!! Probably works if you can nail manual focus (like Kasey always does :) and have good lighting. I made a couple of RUclips videos for my music channel, with my iPhone, wanted to do it forever .. just go for it, record & upload, it's fun! And figuring all the tech out (especially sound) is fun too if you like that kind of stuff! I'll actually try with the D3200 again, I have the 35mm F1.8G lens as my only prime.. it might be good for video (if my living room is big enough, that's like 50mm equivalent), now I'm curious 😃
If you have crap audio the relative image quality won't matter nearly as much. Many experiments have been made with clearly superior cinema video compared to lower quality -- but good audio put with the worse video and bad audio with the great video and people say the worse video looked better... sound is really that powerful! (And this dude's audio is spot-on!)
FYI - Your ‘rare bird’ was an Eastern Bluebird. Good points you make re: sensor size and image quality vs. What you really need.
The mini LF is FF there partner. Red sensors are mostly FF now as well. Sure, there are some cinema cameras that are S35 but all the newer models are FF. This would've been a great idea for a video in 2017.
I switched to a Nikon Z6 with a 24-70 f4 S. It's gorgeous! And xqd cards are awesome!
Really good choice with the 40f2 ! It's an excellent lens!! I want a z30 as B cam!
Surprisingly titillated that I caught those moves at the end. Man's footwork is superb
I shot a music video by myself at Joshua Tree in California and later found out half of the time I was slightly out of focus. Auto focus can definitely make or break you in some situations. I could do better now, but Joshua Tree is a 1000 miles away.
r8 DoF is so shallow your eyes are in focus but your ears and nose are blurred into oblivion... what a glorious unit you have acquired sir.
i like your sweater and gear choices. Thanks for being the best part of my day.
The dancing was 10/10 and you should do a cinematic dancing scene in every camera review video.
What an INTERESTING subject! I had never thought of this until I saw the title of this video. Thanks.
I enjoyed the simplicity of this video. I really do hope the autism era of fast cuts, fake enthusiasm and $100k budget videos are past us. I really enjoy the authentic videos like this.
You sir... Inspired me to just whip a camera out and make videos
You are 100% correct about film sets. And you describing the difference is a very good lesson for people to know!!!
Appreciate your awareness that it would be inappropriate to dance.
I want to get A6700 for 4k 120 fps. I tried it out and it looked nice. A7IV 1080 120 fps looks similar, but I’d like the extra resolution to zoom in in Davinci for epic squirrel closeups.
a zoom lens is more ideal then a digital crop
Or you could get a Gh6, that offers 4k120p with less crop than the A6700 and cheaper tele lenses
As a Rental House owner that owns an Alexa Mini LF (full-frame) and an Alexa 35 (super 35) I can report that the Mini LF goes out 10 times to 1 compared to the 35. Both rentals are the same price and are kitted out the same.
One of the best movies of 2023 was The Creator and it was shot full frame. Cameras are just tools to achieve the stories we want to tell. How we get there is up to the ones creating it.
"One of the best movies of 2023 was The Creator"... you're right, it was an awful year for movies. Let's hope for 2024 :)
You video is excellent and I enjoyed it. Technique will often triumph lesser equipment. Nicely done sir!!
FALSE STATEMENT!!! I've been working in the movie business for more than 30 years, and I've used almost every camera manufacturer available, from Arri to Panavison to Sony, Panasonic etc, and even with the arrival of the Alexa 35 last year (S35 sensor), the larger sensor cameras like Alexa LF (Large Format), Sony Venice (slightly larger than LF), the Alexa 65 (almost double the size of FF...), the Red Monstro/Weapon and Panavision DXL are all very much used and VERY MUCH LOVED sensor sizes and Hollywood deeply loves them. And BTW, FF and larger sensor sizes are often preferred not just for resolution, other reasons may be considered when deciding to go with bigger sensor sizes. I do agree with your statement that content creators absolutely do not need FF, but again, one may want to use FF for other reasons than simply more resolution. Sensor size has nothing to do with resolution, ie 6K Red dragon is almost 4x smaller then Alexa 65 at 6.5K. The look, the visual rendition or feel of a given sensor, or even simply just wanting shallow DOF may be some of the artistical reasons to go with a larger sensor. I just felt compelled to put my 2 cents here, Hollywood -does not- hate FF.
Oh man the explanation of the rigging in Hollywood; comedic gold. The reason I watch this channel!
The biggest priority for RUclipsrs should be to get a camera that makes content production faster/seamless, is affordable, and has a quality that is not off-putting for the audience. It's essential to take into account the opportunity cost. If you spend 2k on a camera but still record with a 50$ microphone, 50$ lights, and a barebone background. You'll get better "video" by getting a cheaper camera and upgrading the microphone, the lights, and the background. Too many channels become autistic on 1 aspect of "video" and completely ignore the others as if those are not part of the final video too. Ultimately the audience judges the video as a whole.
ANY new camera be it full frame, apsc or MFT can produce movie grade footage because they all have logs, 4k (many new 6k or even 8k) and can shoot raw. If u know a thing or two about lightning u can make a movie-like setup with ease. The only thing why full frame is considered better is because of its low light capabilities, and the reason hollywood doesnt need that is because they have whole dedicated teams for making lightning. You dont really need fullframe but for professional work where u cant have perfect impact over your lightning those low light capabilities are a must, otherwise youre gonna have bad footage. If u do studio work with lights set up apsc is gonna do more than fine, but u will generally not be taken serious if u dont own a fullframer, no matter of your end result.
That was strangely relaxing
Good Morning! Gotta get that hyperfocal distance calculator going!! LOL! That "blurred out to oblivion" almost looks like you're doing a green screen. Love the dance sequence. I think you should have the three girls from the intro dance in that 3D pop set up. Thanks for the morning laughs. Have a great weekend!
Video after video, I am getting convinced that you're maybe becoming my favorite photography channel. Not sure. Maybe.
The Nikon image does look more cinematic though... 😂 Maybe it's the bigger depth of field, or the colours...
If you want to see the background with your 85mm f1.2, just stop it down to f4 or f5.6 or whatever you need. You don't have to blow out the background unless you want to.
Lose light
@@Yupthereitism light barely matters in video when shooting at equivalent to 180 degree shutters or one over twice the frame rate so ~1/50 at 24p or 1/60 at 30p or 1/125 at 60p etc. You probably need NDs to just shoot at f/1.2 to begin with.
@@ppiercejr depends on the situation
@14.16 rant had me in stitches " the thing that annoys me..." Dead on. You nailed it.
I love your super laidback style in this video. Just grabs the right vibe 😎
Good title for a video. I think Hollywood uses Super 35 but some have adopted full frame as well. Sometimes it comes down to the lens choices of Hollywood and how big the budget is. Use what you got, but buy decent lenses for the effect you want. Color grading can also help.
I saw the Zack Snyder zombie movie shot in full frame. Half the movie was out of focus. It became very distracting
That 85mm 1.2 makes the difference. And you can always pool down to f8, if you want that.
"The smaller the sensor, the cheaper the look". True dat. The footage I get from my Z8 or Z9 looks so much nicer than the footage I get out of my Z30. But, the Z30 is much easier to get around with when I'm doing my own hobo RUclips channel.
Being outta sync with the rhythm makes it funnier. I am pretty sure you've got the same VHS Napoleon Dynamite picked up.. and your moves coming along nicely man.
Old timer (45 fun years) who pulled focus at the tail end of 35. Used everything, Arri BL, 435/535, Moviecam, Arricam, G2, Milleniums and even the occasional Aaton. The VAST majority of cinema was shot in spherical 35. Maybe 10-15% in anamorphic. And there were focus pullers who wouldn’t even take those jobs (IYKYK). Anyone who thinks that you need FF aka Vistavision doesn’t know how larger formats were used (and it wasn’t in any of the shots we’re looking at in this video). Yes, Quentin did things a little different. But Quentin is different. Have dinner with the man and you’ll understand… Currently shooting with a Z9. But if Apple Raw ever comes to Resolve, I’m going back to the H2-S like pronto.
The sweater makes you look like a movie star!
You’re pretty wacky and it’s awesome 😂. At work I mostly use m43 (old-school GH5 still going strong!) and it’s perfect for just about everything. But every time I shoot an interview I wish I had my personal full-frame camera because to defocus the background to my liking (so it’s at least noticeably not a camcorder) I have to use a telephoto prime, put the camera weirdly far away and hope the room is big enough to place the subject far from a wall, and it’s definitely going to be a tight shot. I even use speed boosters and fast lenses. If I brought my fx3 I could use a zoom lens if I wanted to, place the camera at a comfortable distance from the subject and not only do I have the option of a medium shot (instead of being stuck with closeup) but I can even stop down if I need to. If it’s not the most ideal location in terms of lighting and my small production kit doesn’t have enough lighting accessories to refine it, I can rely on the few extra stops of dynamic range to smooth things out. There’s just a more comfortable amount of wiggle room for my… yes… hobo production process 😂.
I’m black and I learned a lot today. I can cripwalk better but that’s neither here nor there.
The little quick step at 12:44 was actually fairly cool. In other news... I still have a WX350 (as seen earlier), and it's 30X zoom is handy for seeing if pizza is ready across the street at Gino's.
I absolutely the dancing. Practice the moves your heart desires. Pockets are a good place for the hands. Keep up the good work.
I used to do the mannequin head thing in the studio, years ago before focus tracking. Still use a hat on top of a stand to frame up a shot.
The huge surge with full frame has more to do with the history of 35mm film and the best vintage glass being designed for that. My old Pre-AI Nikkor 28mm lens was about $4K when it dropped, you can now pick it up $250-$400 and it has a lotttttt of character. The field of view is what most people are chasing after, even if it isn't what is considered "Hollywood quality". Plus the full frame sensors people have is the most reasonable price point you can get without jumping into digital medium format (that takes video) or IMAX, which'll give you an even more niche look. It has less to do with what Hollywood uses, but more to do with a more niche look to tell your stories.
Just my perspective on why full frame weirdly became the norm. Plus how could we all chase that beautiful bokeh without full frame 😅
I love your delivery on these videos Mate. So good 😆👍👍👍
Brilliantly hosted! A million miles of fun.
It’s about what you’re trying to do. Are you making narrative films? Experimental video? Documentary stories? Vlogging hybrid? What story is your video film telling? How does your choices when film SERVE the story/content? Make deliberate choices that have motivation and reasoning.
omg, the sweater is so cool, you should put it into a gear list with an affiliate link!
Nice moves! I liked the focus staying on you for most of the time. Seems to be pretty good.
The human eye has a focal length of about f/2.1-f/3.8 so anything beyond that sometimes feels manufactured anyway. The most impressive image is the most immersive image
Ngl, this video made me chuckle more than i expected to. Thank you
It is all about the Toneh!! Dont let anyone tell you different. We need more Toneh!!
My boy snapped on the crip walk 🔥
5:00, yes MarkusPix is a very good channel, so much practical knowledge, I learn so much from him. The dancing was good!
Good message! Focusing on the content... now I need a city-priority AF setting 🤔
We are basically limited by the lacklustre aps-c lens quality which are designed to fit in the aps-c budget, so therefore you basically want a full frame for the lens only 😊
EMount APSC has some excellent lenses. Not a limitation at all. If you have adequate light there is simply no meaningful difference.
@@robertfontaine3650 I am seriously skeptical about Sony g lenses. Absolutely zero 3d pop and no contrast. Even sigma is better which is not a good thing…. I stayed away from sony for that reason and went all in on Leica tl2 and tl 35 1.4 and don’t regret it one bit.
@18yearsoldnot you can actually use full frame lenses on aps-c. You'll even get less distortion because the sensor would be using the central portion of the lens angle of view
@@aldebaran4332 absolutely agree! I like using full frame vintage lenses on aps-c because they are also not so sharp around the edges. Sigma 45mm 2.8 I-series is like the perfect modern take on a vintage lens and I use it between my sigma fp and Leica tl2, although Leica aps-c lenses are better still, and I actually use Leica aps-c on my sigma fp in crop mode. Toneh Northrop did a good video about why you shouldn’t put full frame glass on aps-c btw. Apparently aps-c lenses have more resolving power but lack all the other good stuff so it’s not about the sharpness😜 Check that out if you haven’t seen it
That’s not true. You have the viltrox pro series and the 13mm. The “sigma trio”. The sirui nightwalker cine lenses. There are a lot of bangers and most of them are pretty recent.
Really nice & Informative. Liked your new style of making your videos. 😂 Nice dance too. Will look into the full frame. What about the Medium Format?
Man, I love this video. You hit every nail of solo shooting thinking. Spec sheet chaser here. Have a k5 and a s23... I could shoot on either but I'm like oh no I need a r6mkii or Panasonics recent release. Buy the camera you need not the one you want. If you're shooting and the camera is the problem sure but shoot anyways
Ha! That whole skit on focusing on the plant and then standing next to it and still be out of focus... that rang a few bells!
this video is like therapy, thanks a lot
I'm not agree with your message, but that little dance at the end was priceless!
If I DGAF about bokeh, need some low light performance, and want to be able to crop in to follow myself sprinting & doing other exercises from far away in slow motion, am I better off with an A6700 or a ZV-E1?
GoPro 11 turns into a potato when cropped and the 1080 120fps on my a6400 is equally rough.
If you plan to stick with Nikon, go for 400f4.5, that lens will put smile to your face...😀
From what I've experienced, the lens choice is almost more important than the camera choice in many ways. And knowing how to use the camera matters. You can spend $10K on the best gear but if you don't understand how to light a shot or do something else that's silly it doesn't matter how much you spend. Or worse, don't have a good script to begin with. A lot of movie failures happen in the writing room before a single frame of footage goes in the can!
Date the camera,.marry the lens.
This randomly came up as suggested...
Absolutely love it!
Subbed :)
Sharper lenses are for high megapixel cameras. ALL of these lenses fort mirrorless cameras are over 8MP/4K. M12, CS mount, and C Mount lenses are lower megapixel and you can very clearly see the difference. Barrel distortion and focus breathing are more of an issue.
I think I’ve seen it all now. Casey C-Walking… That made my day..🤣🤣
