Just add 21 stops DR and 500,000 clean ISO and I will preorder it Sony won’t put anything special in it.

Yes except now gimbals are what is overused. People don’t use sliders or steadicams as much which is why they add a bit of a unique perspective to your videos.

True. Although there is something about a slider shot that I like better than handheld, or tripod pans sometimes. It looks...unique. A subtle but locked down movement with parallax. Handheld looks nice too. I just don’t like how gimbals look anymore.

Download Davinci resolve lite and drag your files into the media viewer section to preview. Resolve can decode ProRes, just not encode to it. So your files can be viewed in the software. It should work well. You can also look at the waveform in the color section to help analyze your videos. Hope this helps!

Wow kye, you nailed to replicate that film convert grade. Nice job! That’s way better than what I can do in resolve, but I’m still learning lol.

Yeah I have tried that technique. I have had varied success, and some shots look just like a slider, while some did not turn out great. It may be that my camera has no ibis. And you can’t pull off the same thing as a slow movement with a real slider. I also love the look of a steady cam. It looks much more organic than a gimbal.

I love slider shots. And it feels like today there is an obsession with gimbals. Honestly the shots most people do with gimbals looks boring now a days, and even when trying to keep the gimbal steady, the camera obviously looks like it’s floating. I like the look of a slider. It looks like a gimbal moving, but without the “floating in the air thing.” They aren’t used too much, and one can make beautiful camera movements with one. There is something about the camera being locked down and moving compared to a gimbal where the camera is “floating and moving.”

True. I’m just saying if your camera doesn’t have feature X, use that to make you better.

It seems that people are all too reliant on creature comforts. IBIS, DPAF, color science, etc. If your camera doesn’t have these features, it forces you to improve your skills versus letting he camera do the hard work. No IBIS? You get to learn how to handhold a camera rock steady. No autofocus? You get to learn how to be a focus puller. Bad color science? You get to learn how to become better at color correction and grading. No high dynamic range? You get to learn how to nail exposure. My point is that limitations in your gear force you to improve your skills. My g7 has terrible AF and no IBIS, but that forces me to improve on my manual focusing and handholding skills. Sometimes limitations are a good thing. If your camera has limitations like these, don’t upgrade. Force yourself to improve on those skills instead of letting the camera do it for you. You will become a better filmmaker this way.

I haven’t been shooting in slow motion for my projects because it’s overused. Also it feels kind of lazy because it makes it easier to get b-roll, stabilize shots, etc. I have to work harder to get smooth shots in 24fps, but that just helps make me a better filmmaker. Shooting without IBIS, slow motion, things like that just help to improve your craft. My g7 has useles AF and no IBIS, but I just think of it as two skills I can learn so that I don’t need these features or become lazy, and can become a better filmmaker. Also not having amazing color science forces you to dive deeper into color grading, which also improves your skills. Use limitations to your advantage. Use them to hone your craft. Slightly off topic, but I really believe this.

Interesting. I’ve tried this aspect ratio and found that it makes my footage so cinematic on my Canon Kiss M! Better than Peter McKinnon! And yes, I shoot in 30p because I luv it and not because canon removed 24fps

I personally use the hexagon aspect ratio. It allows up to 6X better footage because it has 6X the amount of black bars.

It can apparently simultaneously record both cameras, meaning you could switch in post

Year but canon won’t allow the new processor to benefit us. They’ll keep making their cameras unusable for filmmaking. And no they are not saving on codec license fees!

https://9to5mac.com/2019/09/10/iphone-pro-11-pro-max-triple-camera/ It turns out that the iPhone 11 can record on multiple cameras at once in filmic pro. For example you could shoot with both a telephoto and ultra wide and switch between them in post easily. Sadly there still isn’t any utilization of the multiple cameras to achieve a shallow depth of field in video. Cool nonetheless.

I like watchtower in turkey

I shoot corporate, interviews, etc. for those curious. Good suggestions guys.

I currently have $200 to invest in extra gear for my kit. I already have a g7, lenses, Tripods, etc. I do not have any lights, stabilizers, or cages though, and only have a cheap lav mic. What are some things you would buy if you were in my situation? (total of everything must be under 200)

You’ve brought a ton of valuable info to the community and will be missed!

On the c100 and c100 II only the center is used for DPAF. For cameras like the c200, entire sensor is used for DPAF.

I’m curios. How do you soften the clips in post?

I hope this is true. I’m sick and tired of manufacturers flipping a switch to block us from raw video and instead forcing us to pay $500 for a bulky raw recorder. Magic lantern proves at easy to record internal raw.

Let me ask you something... who even are you? Where did you seemingly get all of this information when all of the evidence for YEARS has been the opposite of what you are arguing? It baffles me that you still are arguing this argument. Seriously, how did you get all of this information that goes against ABUNDANT evidence that we have had for years?

Also always shoot at 60fps. Canon proves that you don’t need 24fps to make cinematic video, at least that’s what Potato Jet told me when I watched his canon 90d review

My biggest question is can you change the frame rate while outputting to an external recorder?
