A. L. Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Shot this video using GHaV3 Lut on GH5s. Followed the guides in the documentations, just drop the LUT in the timeline and tweak the mid-tones, shadow and highlights as suggested. I'm loving the colors! katlis, kye, Adept and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GH5 is great value for money, but if you want to shoot 10-bit anamorphic with de-squeeze and without an external monitor it becomes the bargain of the century, and the Alexa colour combined with the big-screen aesthetic would be a spectacular match. 90% of the time I'm shooting 2x anamorphic these days, yet I never got around to trying 6K mode... mostly because I record to an Atomos, but I was also concerned 4:2:0 color wouldn't give the best GHa results. Now that I've switched to GH5S that's out of the question anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple ideas, if I may share? These were my favorite shots (a sodium vapor shot, no less): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning to update your instructions with new 'softening' parameters to match the sharpness of the Alexa? This mode seems pretty great (h265, 5K 4:3 image for anamorphic or cropping in post, less sharpening) so it would be useful to have those settings as a reference ??? One could potentially 'reverse engineer' the ideal settings by finding the settings to match 4K to 6K's smoothness, and then 'subtract' that from the required settings to match sharpened 4K to the Alexa. The 6K mode is one of the things potentially on my list to look at; I would also need to dial in a PRE for Premiere, as I believe that there will be unique distortion for h265 formats. Also, while I haven't used it, @deezid mentioned to me that there were some compression issues at 6K. @katlis @Wild Ranger Those stills look amazing. I should mention that with digital diffusion, my impression was that it didn't rise to the level of optical diffusion quality. Granted, the last time I seriously looked at the question was a solid decade ago. I believe that when there is already some degree of optical diffusion, digital diffusion can supplement that nicely. The Takumar primes have a nice diffusion, and having lenses with inherent diffusion side steps the 5's inverse sensor reflections problem. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sage Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 23 hours ago, A. L. said: Thanks! Any suggestion would be great! With this style, I felt that the montage with the falling piano motif would be ideally paired with slow motion shots interspersed - the same rotating shots of the characters, but in slow motion, the directional motion of each shot feeding into, and informing the next. Second, for the Adr/dialog at the end, it would be optimal to record in a similar environment to the one shown for the correct reverb (space). Key is placement of the mic relative to the mouth - not too close, but not too far. That is, to have a sense of the reverb tail, without over powering the voice with reverb, or the 'deadness' of right in front of the mouth. For the existing dialog, one could maximize realism by EQing out a bit of bass (~120Hz region & below) and adding a slight reverb tail to add 'space' to the sound (testing reverb settings until it feels fitting for the space on screen) A.

Jak234 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hi Sage, Do you know if the S1 with the Vlog (not l but the full vlog) Update will be compatible to your plugin? If not will you make it compatible? Thanks! Best Jakob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not will you make it compatible? Methinks it would largely work, given what I've seen from other VLog cameras (much more so than, say, NLog). That said, I'd like to do a version for the S1, as that would be fully accurate and tailored to its image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point there.. at the very least, they seem responsive haha. I've been having an email conversation about supporting it. The core differentiator is price; the P4K would (theoretically at this point) be a lot more accessible. I like the idea of being able to opt for premium codec/low-light with the P4K or IBIS with the 5 at that price range (perhaps one day, both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCV Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Agreed. Both the P4K & GH5 are more common and thus priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing i'd debate is how the form factor of a "brain" is better than something with a handgrip? Also, does it not shoot RAW? Wouldn't that be a pretty big difference, especially at a higher price point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to beat that luma curve + hue lock out workflow. JeremyDulac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimor Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I get the Lut 5 days ago and i still can't get decent result with it.

Hey Grimor, can you send me Dpx (with empty Lumetri applied) stills of your raw footage, and Jpgs of the final image?

No worries, no matter the non-Panasonic camera I support next, the S will be of equivalent priority and released simultaneously, or shortly thereafter. From what I've seen, the S is a touch warmer.
