If Love is a Ride | Sony a6400

SPONTANEOUS is a series where I take footage I capture in my life and create a CineJournal from it! This is a long term project I am pursuing to not only document my life, but my filmmaking progress.

Damn didn't know that my A6400 is capable of this kind of quality and I had it for 3 years! Love the video man.

[@HexlGaming]

I love the vibe. Maybe it's acted, maybe it's not but that girl feels like she's radiating her true self and it's deeply inspirational

[@ali-amaza]

the color grade is peak man!

[@AlanTNguyen]

Thank you so much man! 🙏🏼

[@lupecreatr484]

[@JKEYSONVINYL]

Love the whole grade and shots the use of halation is a lot but I personally love it 🔥🔥

[@AlanTNguyen]

Yeah my taste and aesthetics has slightly changed since then. I like a more subtle look now.

[@AlanTNguyen]

This means so much :’) I’m excited for this journey! 🙏🏼

[@AlanTorres-tl4ms]

Another Alan T 😂 I need to know, what lens? What filters? This is so so gorgeous. I almost wanted to replace my a6400 and you just made me fall in love with it again.

[@AlanTNguyen]

I used an old Sigma 28mm F/1.8 Canon FD lens adapted to my camera. I added some Halation in DaVinci Resolve Studio. No filter. When I do use a filter for bloom it’s a Black Pro Mist.
The camera is not as important as the lens, composition, and color grading.

[@okb2234]

what lens did you use?

[@julianos.freitas]

amazing man ! congrats

[@mocoxmedia]

woah looks so gooood

[@AlanTNguyen]

Thank you man! Appreciate your support so much! Love your content 🙌🏼

[@MScoresHD]

lemme tell you brother ive own the 6400 for years and never thought it could look this good, i recently got the fx30 tho and just in case you were thinking of an upgrade 100% fx30!

[@AlanTNguyen]

Very likely going to be my next camera upgrade. I’m investing into lighting and audio equipment first tho. Then I’ll get into building up my vintage lens set. Those things are more important to me than upgrading my camera.

[@VanStubbs80]

nice work!

[@angryoldman4986]

Here before it blows up

[@AlanTNguyen]

thank you so much! :,)

[@Deendiaa]

this video is amazing, the quality is immaculate, the colors are heavenly. From who did you learn to color grade like that?

Good work man I've been shooting on the same camera

[@mohammadghannam96]

amazing grading can u tell us which picture profile u used to shoot this

[@mauiaguirre]

Did you buy a powergrade? I love how you coloured this aesthetic mate. Wondering how I can learn or apply this into my videos

[@AlanTNguyen]

I use my own node tree. I’m actually working on an in depth color grading video for Sony a6400 and other Sony 8-bit cameras.

[@shotbydry]

fire bro

[@AlanTNguyen]

Thank you bro! 🙏🏼

[@cinemuan]

how do u stabilize your shots

[@AlanTNguyen]

Just held it as steady as I could, then played around with the stabilizer in DaVinci Resolve.

[@group8gojeangilberttiu399]

Love the vibes man. What did you do with the footage? Because there's not much noise or grain.... what settings did you use?

[@AlanTNguyen]

The actual footage had some noise. I color grade with DaVinci Resolve, and their Noise Reduction tool is really good.

[@popcorn5968]

Superb! Did you shoot in 1080 or 4k? What lenses did you use?

[@AlanTNguyen]

Now on my a6400 I normally shoot in HD bc the 4K on mine isn’t great. The rolling shutter is really high and there’s a flicker.

[@AlanTNguyen]

You can find a good Canon FD lens and adapt it to your camera.

[@blitzzeddkrieg4584]

So good! What lens do you use?

[@AlanTNguyen]

Vintage Canon fd adapted to camera.

[@christianngo1907]

Awesome video bro, what log did you use?

[@mnasir1305]

What lens did you use :)

[@AlanTNguyen]

Vintage lens adapted

[@zedjay19]

I love this video and the grade. I'm new to this and just got an a6400. I've been having issues with exposure and rgb noise. What's the best settings to perfect exposure and noise-less footage with the a6400?

[@AlanTNguyen]

Noise is always going to be an issue especially in low light. You’ll have to work around with it in post production.
The most important thing is making sure you have a good amount of exposure before clipping your highlights to retain the most detail.
Look into how to utilize your zebras with the right picture profile for Sony a6400.
Cranking up your ISO isn’t so bad up til around 3200 or 6400 for night time scenes.
You will just need to apply noise reduction correctly in DaVinci Resolve, which is what I edit in. It’s free and a great video editor.
There are many tutorials out there, but I can make one in the future.

[@zedjay19]

@@AlanTNguyentysm I really appreciate all of your advice!! New sub for sure !

[@phanbao3702]

How didn't get any noise omg nice work mate

[@AlanTNguyen]

I talk about how I use Noise Reduction in DaVinci Resolve in my most recent RUclips video.

[@Sushant_Pathak]

Hello Brother, What setting did you use on camera? And, How did you grade the color. The video look really nice.

[@AlanTNguyen]

Check out my most recent video!

[@Sushant_Pathak]

@@AlanTNguyen I got you. Thank you brother.

[@ProducedByChristo]

Did you use a black pro mist? if so what strenght

[@AlanTNguyen]

This video was a while back so I can’t remember exactly. For this one I probably didn’t use one. Any close effects was probably just done in post on DaVinci Resolve.
When I do use one it’s a 1/4 strength. I don’t use it that much anymore tho.

[@AlanTNguyen]

I just have found that vintage lenses get the look I want and I don’t really need to add a promist to it. The promist can create a really extreme look and I want something more subtle.
The Promist has its place in some scenes but I don’t use it for everything.

[@Spigglicious]

I bought mine today, I’ve GOT to know what lense you used to run these wonderful collection of videos.

[@AlanTNguyen]

Tbh for stuff like this the color grading does most of the heavy lifting. As for the lens I suggest getting a zoom to figure out what focal length you like using. The focal length I like is a 28mm or 50mm. Look into vintage lenses if you want to try using manual focus. It’s fun.

[@Spigglicious]

@@AlanTNguyen copy that, I’ll get on that asapppp

[@Spigglicious]

@@AlanTNguyenas far as F stops do you recommend 1.4 or 1.8?

[@marcvillproductions660]

new subscriber here bro!

[@nicotrey_]

Fire bro 🔥 curious if you shot on log and what type of lense used

[@AlanTNguyen]

I shoot in log, I plan to make an elaborate video explaining the things I account for when shooting log on the Sony APSC line.

[@neplbeli]

this is awesome what did you do color grading on?? What did type of preset did you film on

[@AlanTNguyen]

I manually did these colors. I didn’t use a film emulation or film LUT. I did this all in DaVinci Resolve Studio!

[@prosto_slava]

Hello! It is very cool! What color profile settings did you use to create this image? Minimum amount of noise

[@AlanTNguyen]

I’m about to release a video talking about this soon.

[@anonyrus]

@@AlanTNguyen when bro whennn comonnn

[@rkeng2024]

1:26 How you create that edge glow effect? whats its name? ❤❤

[@AlanTNguyen]

It’s Halation in DaVinci Resolve Studio.

[@x256h]

i like the intro

[@marcvillproductions660]

did you shoot in Slog2 or Cine ?

[@AlanTNguyen]

In this video I think I did HLG2, but now I use S-Log2 and can get the same look.

[@QuinOfficial_]

which lenses ?

[@AlanTNguyen]

I used an old Sigma 28mm F/1.8 for Canon FD and connected it to my camera using a Canon FD to Sony E Mount Adapter from K&F Concept.

[@Juni_PHX]

great shots! what profile color did you use?

[@AlanTNguyen]

I use S-Log 2 with S.Gamut3.Cine! I might actually make a more in depth video bc there are some little tweaks I have. I’ve tried to use S-Log 3 but I have found it a bit difficult to use without having so much artifacts.

[@Juni_PHX]

pretty cool, your final footage looks pretty good in the darks, without noise!@@AlanTNguyen

[@AlanTNguyen]

To be fair, on DaVinci Resolve I did use noise reduction. But for it being a crop sensor camera in low light, still pretty good, I agree.

[@romucdy1012]

Actually he shooted from Sony a7iii. Trust me it’s a big game

[@AlanTNguyen]

I wish I was lying and using an fx30 or fx3 lmao. Idk why I would lie about using an a6400 lol.
Camera isn’t garbage, you just gotta color grade and slap a nice lens on it fam.

[@grace_al1629]

It's so niceee, can i know what lens that u use to film this?
