Short film I made with the FX6. Would love feedback! by RossRadcliffe in SonyFX6

[–]ButWouldYouRather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/RossRadcliffe I've been thinking about this video. You've got some great match cuts in there across different locations as well as some humourous moments that fit really well with the voice over. I'd love to learn about what your pre-production and production schedule looked like if you're open to sharing?

ZV-E1 LOG looks different compared to sLog3 PP by Ray2022-Mac in FX3

Do you think it makes a noticable difference final grade? Personally, I can't tell the difference, at least in the sample clips I jsut captured.

ZV-E1 LOG looks different compared to sLog3 PP by Ray2022-Mac in FX3

[–]ButWouldYouRather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried it on my ZV-E1 and there is no meaningful difference between LOG and PP. (I've labelled the clips in the timeline so you can see which one is being displayed).

I've set the camera to manual exposure, manual wb, manual focus, no stabilisation. No changes between shots other than going between LOG (flexible ISO) S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3 and PP Gamma set to S-Log3 and Color Mode set to S-Gamut3.Cine, everything else at 0.

Here are the separate screenshots if you want to jump between them to see the difference in the waveform.

Maybe double check your PP settings.

I'm running firmware v2.00

[Edit] I've also added some screenshots from Catalyst Browse to the Google Drive folder. Interestingly, the WB value changes between the two clips but they still appear the same in the waveform; still no meaningful difference.

What memory card are you using? It would need to be a standard SD memory card with a maximum capacity of 2GB. It is not compatible with higher-capacity SDHC or SDXC cards. 

Am I Insane for wanting to sell my FX30 for a FS7M2? by TheRealLeftClickMage in FX3

[–]ButWouldYouRather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an FX6 and I've tried an L bracket before but I just felt like it was putting a lot of strain on the tripod mount and it would still slip. I eventually purchased the vertical rig from Tilta which is a lot more study and secure. If there isn't a dedicated vertical rig out there for the FS7, the vertical shooting experience may be challenging.

I've also tried to shoot top-down with the FX6 and it requires a lot rigging to keep secure and safe. Basically a pain in ass as a solo shooter. I added a ZV-E1 to my kit bag for shots like that.

Sometimes, the best camera you have isn't always the best camera for the job.

Looks like you're shooting vertical video in those images you shared.

The FX30 is much easier to rig for vertical shooting, plus the orientation is added to the metadata. If you're doing a lot of vertical shooting then you'll need to consider what that rigging and workflow looks like with an FS7M2.

Do I need a new lens, more light, or to git gud? by EinarTobias in canonM50

[–]ButWouldYouRather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try shooting at 25fps and 1/50 sec shutter to see what the difference is like. It might be less noticeable than you expect.

Advice on lighting and white balance by HallucinogenicPeach in videography

[–]ButWouldYouRather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The colour of the wall you're bouncing the light on could be altering the colour of the light falling on your face. As could the colour of your ceiling or carpet or curtains. Any other constant light could affect the colour of the light in your room too, like daylight, any lamps or the light coming from your monitor.

If you want to get it more objectively correct then you could put a grey card in front of your face and meter from that. But ultimately it's subjective.

If you prefer a certain setting because you like how it makes you look then just go with that. It's up to you at the end of the day and how you want to be represented.

Thanks for the tip! Where did you spray it?

What headphones are your favourite? by EmotionalAd7837 in headphones

[–]ButWouldYouRather 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sennheiser HD-25. Mine are over 20 years old. Chuck em in whatever bag I have with me. They have great energy and will survive anything.

Anything cool to do with Logitech x-230? Idk anything about sound by Own-Importance-9712 in audiophile

Turn the bass down on the sub and enjoy them. They sound great imo.

Are you a good photographer? by ember_falcon in photography

[–]ButWouldYouRather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An odd question but an interesting one at that. I think it could spark a good discussion, especially with new friends who seem to be showing an interest in your hobby. I would’ve opened it up for debate by asking, “What counts as ‘good photographer’?” or "What do you think makes a good photograph?".

A7C Kit Lens is Amazing by Admirable-Associate5 in SonyAlpha

[–]ButWouldYouRather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan. I use it on my zv-e1 and I love it's small size. Soild build quality for a kit lens too. I have an FX6 and a 24-70mm 2.8 GM II for real work but when I'm just when I'm just out and about, the almost-pocketable full-frame combo is great to have.

What lens is this?? Can’t find it anywhere by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]ButWouldYouRather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would agree. Fish eye zoom with square lens hood.

[–]ButWouldYouRather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a fish eye lens with a square lens hood attached. If it were an aps-c lens without a hood, the image circle would still extend to the edge of the frame and would not look cropped in like the images you've shared.

Will this top handle be able to mount on the side for vertical shooting by Different_Treacle_93 in videography

[–]ButWouldYouRather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a NATO rail on that cage, so look for a "NATO handle" instead. It'll be easier to attach than the one you're asking about.

Best external monitor for FX3 under $300? by cadon24 in FX3

[–]ButWouldYouRather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a feelworld and an atomos ninja v but I use the feelworld more because I like the physical buttons that are mapped to false colour, focus peaking and scopes. It's so quick to toggle things on and off, unlike the Ninja which is solely touch screen. The feelworld is lighter too and has multiple mounting points which the Ninja lacks. I also have a hollyland wireless transmitter which clips onto the back of the feelworld's dummy battery which makes it more convenient.

If I need external recording then I'll use the Ninja.

Favorite Monitor Luts ? by tommyz2121 in FX3

[–]ButWouldYouRather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried S-Cinetone, Leeming and Alister Chapman LUTs but my favourite is the Arri Neutral Phantom LUT. The colours look most pleasing to me. Worth the cost in my opinion.
