Anaconda_ Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 @Alt Shoo - congratulations on the film! It sounds very interesting. Did you shoot in 4K? And what about the final distribution / screening format. If course it doesn’t really matter, and I still enjoy using my LS300, I’m just interested in other workflows haha. colepat and Alt Shoo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt Shoo Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 @Anaconda_thank you! I filmed mostly in 4k internally, with some shots externally to a Video Assist 4k in pro res. Some shots were in 2k and 1080 only because I had only one card on me and wanted to maximize the content gathering. As of now we are doing a screening tour along the eastern shore of the US. We are talking to major streaming services right now, but nothing is etched in stone. By January we will know our direction in that regard. The screen grab with the red hat is pro res and the other is the internal dci 4k codec. EthanAlexander and Video Hummus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt Shoo Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 I’m posting this because I’m excited that JVC shared my project on their Facebook page! Honestly this camera is one of the best tools I’ve used! If you’re in the market for a very versatile cinema camera I recommend this amazing and affordable device!

Alt Shoo Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 Here is some more JVC GYLS300 footage. This is from another documentary that I had the wonderful opportunity to film! This is about the owner of the Comic Strip Live club in Manhattan. He’s known for managing Eddie Murphy and starting the careers of a lot of our contemporary comedians! Thanks to JVC for this still very wonderful tool! I’m definitely looking forward to their new line of cinema cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an addition like this it’s difficult for me to upgrade my cameras. I am still interested with the GFX 100 and would love to see a more cinema style camera with that sensor size. And by the way the film I shot with the JVC GYLS300 is finally published! https://www.Vimeo.com/ondemand/marcymade Kisaha and heart0less 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if JVC wants to do a big big marketing pushing into this market segment then they need to do one of: 1) slash the RRP price of the JVC LS300 to sub $1K to make it truly appealing to potential buyers, honestly at US$2K it is a tough sell for the majority of buyers to seriously consider getting. (not when there are heaps and heaps of very very appealing brand new mirrorless cameras for around that price, or a secondhand Sony FS5 for that price) Perhaps they don't need to go as far as sub $1K, but definitely can't be higher than around US$1.5K 2) introduce an entirely new camera, a "LS400". Which should at least offer 10bit internal, plus a few other extra new bonuses (I of course would want to see Timecode Input on a new JVC camera, and with it positioning itself as a premium streaming camera it should have genlock too) 3) do all of the above!

Its a shame its only a 1 inch sensor of course but it does augur well for if they do make an LS400 as JVC definitely do not possess a cripple hammer. http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/specs.jsp?model_id=MDL102557&feature_id=03 Alt Shoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 It is indeed nifty specs for a reasonable price, but... it has a S16 sensor and you're stuck forever with the lens it came with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted June 18, 2020 Super Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 Erm....well I did say it was a 1" camcorder so neither of those things exactly come as a shock but it wasn't the point anyway. The point was to illustrate JVC's willingness to not skimp on spec or interfacing on a lower end product and include the two features you were requesting which was a positive indication if they made a successor to the LS300. Which they likely won't make anyway so its probably moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Hummus Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Very Nice @Alt Shoo! I think it depends on the responses JVC got on their camera survey they sent out a while back. I suspect people wanted a larger sensor. 10-bit 4:2:2 internal ProRes recording and PDAF. JVC seems very interested in delivery exactly what people want. Problem is...sometimes what people want is not what they buy. Go figure. Alt Shoo, heart0less and MurtlandPhoto 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alt Shoo Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thank you all! I’m truly grateful for your congratulations! It’s been a challenging two years balancing family life and grabbing footage, then trying to edit while your children run rampant around you. Also can’t forget my wife needs...... But it was worthwhile! Now I am kind of known in the industry and have been receiving requests from other “street legends” for me to tell their story. Regarding JVC’s new cameras, they have awesome specs and I’m tempting to try it out, but I’m not really a fan of cameras with small sensors like that. However I truly enjoy the concept of the M.2 drive used to capture Pro Res! It’s definitely forward thinking and super cost affordable. I am truly hopeful that they are developing a new cinema camera. Maybe we can email them and remind them about that survey they had a few months back asking what we want in a cinema camera. We can tell them that we’re ready for it! lol sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
