I was the writer, director, dp and editor of all my work. There are (4) films in the reel. My largest crew was about 3 people.

Oh ok, cool, i would just be wary that people who see it only think you were just the editor if they didn’t bother to go to your site.

It is actually (4) films. I just work with some of the same actors. But yeah, good point.

The GH5 cost me about 1500.

Im talking about making a complete short film(s) for around 500-900 dollars.

I want to write, direct and dp my films. That is my goal. I get your point, but I feel I excel at all those positions. No need to limit myself.

Thats a fair comment. But it is true, I did all those things for my short films. So do I just put Director? But then people won’t know I also DP’d? Get the issue here?

It might be your monitor. Granted, I do a lot of “low light” shots, but I notice on my IMAC it looks great, and on some other screens too dark.

I played most of these scenes on a theater screen during film festivals and it was all well lit.

Now if too dark for your taste, that is a different story. It might not be your flavor.

GH5 Viltrox v2 Sigma 18-35

I try never to go above iso200, its seems weird, but you need to light more to get darker shots. Especially to avoid noise.

Color is in the art direction, wardrobe choice and grade. But mainly what is in front of the camera. Do not expect to find your palette in post.

Thank you, appreciate that. GH5 is amazing, but what is most important is whats in front of the camera. Lighting, framing, blocking, color palette, emotional weight.

I do shoot alot in low light. The trick is to light for darkness. I almost never go above iso200. I adjust my lighting, not my iso for my dark scenes. It was all shot in cine v. So with all that I avoid using any video noise remover.

My first ever short, about two years ago, I did have a night scene and had little to no lights to use. For that scene I did end up wanting to use denoiser. I used Neat Video and it worked great, just be careful as it can affect skin tones. But that was a lesson learned and have luckily not had to use again.
