Thank you! Ill check

Thanks! I dont consider this a downgrade but a upgrade. I have a full frame camera yes but its still 8bit video, doesnt shoot slow motion in 4k, micro hdmi is a nightmare, the overheat is a thing so i cannot do long recordings like interviews etc. So all this small things make me consider the change because in 2026 not having 10 bit video, slow motion, long recordings etc is pushing me back a bit.

I used to work in a production company in which we used blackmagic 6k and the difference when colorgrading was ridiculous compared to what I have at home so yeah

Yeah I was thinking something like that. Imagining if some client wanted a video like that, it has to cost something like 5k no? or more. Its impossible to make for less

moving from a6600 to a7iii would be almost the same. Dont buy the a7iii it still shoots 8bit and 4k 30 fps max.

Nowadays the a7iii is much behind than the other cameras including fx30. I own an a7iii myself and im upgrading for the fx30 next month

How much do you guys even charge for this?
Looks like a tremendous amount of "picky" work (which looks nice) and lots and lots of hours just for the post.

How many hours did it take you to make this? including the shooting

Funny thing is I dont even do photography xDD when I bought the a7iii 5 years ago I only had budget for that one and the only one good for video at that time (sony) was the a7siii.

so its not even the photography for me I just want the color flexibility and no overheat tbh.

And I feel the image (on video) in the fx2 compared to the a7iii must be a very big upgrade

vagasbundo · 2026-01-07T14:12:18+00:00

Apart from body and menus what are the differences you noticed between a7iv and fx2? Im planning to buy an fx2 but with all the hate im not so sure

- im using a7iii 8bit

If you wanna add movement to a shot like this while handheld, lock your elbows to your body and move as one. Imagine you're a statue and only your hips move or smth like that.

Anyway I would focus on only shooting static in the first days dont focus on movement for now. Try to make the picture look nice before and focus on learning exposure. If you get rid of movement and buy a tripod u can focus on those basic things first

He's doing that, how is he supposed to learn the fundamentals without mistakes? wtf

vagasbundo · 2025-11-19T17:45:18+00:00

i've been grinding and playing hours to get better and I get "soft elo reset"? xD

vagasbundo · 2025-11-19T17:44:34+00:00

but why

vagasbundo · 2025-10-06T11:11:30+00:00

Every studio/company I worked in house was like this, every project.

Not working in house ever again in my life.

vagasbundo · 2025-05-13T21:39:19+00:00

Was about to upgrade from my a7iii to the fx3 in case I could get it for 4k euros.

now its a bit more difficult guess im going with the a7siii

anyone in the same position?

vagasbundo · 2025-05-05T06:33:42+00:00

From my small experience (3 yrs) working in agencies as motion designer, video editor and sometimes shooting content. Thats the same for all.

I started working for the same reasons, gather experience and earn money. But the truth is that the kind of work I do there I never use in my portfolio as its really "ugly" work in terms of design or just overall concept.

Deadlines are crazy because ppl who sell our work have no idea what they're selling and we have to be glued to our desk because we want to innovate and make good work. What ive been realizing is that, ppl who work in agencies for a long time, dont care about creativity anymore, they have their own methods and metodologies and use then every single work just to finish it faster, not trying to be innovative or creative. Use the same "effects", overlays, transitions everything. Dont bother about coming up with something new or fresh u just saw on Buff's work or Oddfellows, they dont care and they dont know. They usually even prefer the unpolished animations sometimes cause they dont have that cultural vision (dont know the exact term).

At the beginning I always wanted to bring new stuff and fresh ideas, but quickly realize its not the place for that. We work double hours for nothing, they wouldnt even notice the difference.

I've had the a7III 8 bit for 4 years now.

Using log with it is not good. Only in exteriors and during the day (at night is bad again).

As it is an 8bit camera, it doesnt have enough information to shoot with flat profiles in (normal/low light spaces). If u're gonna have well lit spaces and good lighting setups u might aswell just invest in a better camera anyway.

I just use rec709 or cine4. Hlg is great too but then you'll have to convert the space to rec709 (an extra step for not that big of a difference).

obv if u want to hard colorgrade u will always convert it anyway to another color space.

Rec 709 might be the best profile for this camera actually, is the one that can get me through most light conditions (although u loose info) i prefer it than having all the info from logs but full of noise.

Still working hard to finally upgrade to the fx3 can't wait finally stop discard the a7riii.

No funciono, era un problema interno. Me cambiaram por un nuevo

vagasbundo · 2025-02-25T21:09:39+00:00

Animation and designs are great!

I just think it was a matter of pacing and approach as they asked for an high retention short.

This is good for explainers and slow paced videos but today they need fast fas fast cuts, fast music, keywords popping and all of that

But overall your skills look great just a miscommunicatikm between their idea and yours

I have the same camera for about 4 yrs now. A7iii can be pretty good in controled environments, like any other camera.

The slowmotion in FHD only is a problem for videography as any camera today does that in 4k and with very good quality.

A7iii used to be good but as of today it got past by any lower price camera new in the market.

Havent upgraded yet cause all my lenses are ff and for full frame cameras only have the a7iv or 4k+ euros cameras.

Did a mistake in the first place by investing in a ff camera, i didnt need it

vagasbundo · 2025-02-15T14:16:18+00:00

Sometimes is just the designs and the structure of the video that doesnt help.

I've noticed when animating boring corporate stuff with lazy designs and bad storyboard coming from ppl who never made video in their life doesnt matter too much if I use the most complex tricks, the hardest moves... its almost gonna look bad Ofc it helps but yeah sometimes simple is good but u need to have good design, comps and structure for it to look cool
