Skateboard Contest - GH4 VLOG in low light and Came Mini 2 Gimbal

Stiffla — Wed, 28 Oct 2015 07:20:27 +0000

I shot a little pre-party skate contest in an old customs building, which will be torn down this year. I was quite impressed of the footage quality after using LUTs, because I shot at ISO 2000 at least and I have seen worst. Not the biggest fan of Drum & Bass music, but it still turned out nice. Hope you like it

Cheers

BMCC EF vs Sony A7s for a feature film with a lot of night shoots?

IronFilm — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 02:33:24 +0000

How does the A7s and the BMCC compare against each other?

Because I've just joined on as the DoP to shoot a feature on a BMCC, but given the nature of the film (shooting most of the time late at night), am wondering if a Sony A7s is better.

Am curious about some direct comparisons between an A7S and a BMCC at night, and how they'd be able to grade, and how they'd be used in practise with lighting set ups (as if we can use a smaller lighting kit, that might help mitigate some of the cost of an A7S), their look, etc.

As if so, I might then recommend to the director trying to find space in the tiny budget to switch to a Sony A7S instead.

What I really wish Sony would do is make something like an A7S version of the Sony A5100. So perhaps an APS-C version with merely a 5 megapixel sensor and the same amazing low light performance as the A7S but with the cheap price of the A5100!

As I don't need a "full frame" sensor, neither do I need more than 5 megapixels so as to have enough for 4K video. I'm content with 1080p.(after all, even with the A7s, most are not shooting 4K because it doesn't do internal 4K)

Unfortunately I don't think a 5 megapixel camera would go down well at all with the typical 2014 consumer, even though I've shot plenty with my old Nikon D50 which was only 6 megapixels. So I think 5 megapixels would do just fine for casual photography, especially as it would be a very very good 5 megapixels. (plus of course I wouldn't be getting it for photography, but video)
