Interesting comment. I might do that. ProRes raw is not supported in Resolve.

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 I don't know if the a9iii does pro res but those things might not matter for movies since yt compresses so much. You can always "upscale" with final cut even if the original footage doesn't use prores

Thanks… I enjoy your channel also, great content.

It’s kinda funny

Thanks. I know you won’t be disappointed.

Iirc, there was no BPM on the camera. I added filtration in post using Video Village Scatter.

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 looks great

Thanks for watching… and for the comments. I love to engage with fellow filmmakers. Don’t be too harsh on Sony. It’s easily my lack of skill color grading. Yesterday I decided to pull out the Ninja V to see how different raw looks from the Sony. I can’t say it’s an “in your face” difference. You gain maybe a half stop more dynamic range… Which is only perceivable if you pay very close attention. That said… and again it could just be my CG skills, but the image feels thicker, if that makes sense.

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 I am not trying to be harsh, I just comment on what I see everywhere with my eyes regarding A9III footage (so it's not your grading). Canon has many idiotic things like level disappearing during recording and so on (unless one uses R5C...), Sony having a much more useful two-way tilting-flipping screen etc. But the video image in my opinion is more pleasing in general, and the potential loss of 1-2 stops of dynamic range does not irritate me as much as colours. Maybe it can be fixed, I just don't think it is that easy in every situation. Consistency is the key, if the colour science is less good then it will behave differently in different lighting etc. Cameras like a 5D Classic or Nikon D700 have no video capability at all. If they were able to shoot video, colours would surpass the hybrid cameras of today, they are far easier to post-process and both look amazing. I like the 5D III raw video colours too, but the usability and quality is too far from today's standards. i really don't get why we need to step back in these fronts, but over time I suspect AI may provide new in-camera solutions to better replicate certain looks of old models, etc. I had the Leica SL2, quite poor video specs with line-skipping, stupid fixed screen, but colour rendition was quite pleasing, so I may try to score an SL2-S next.

I’m sorry that you couldn’t hear the end. I generally try to balance the background 2/3rd lower than the voice track. I might have made a mistake. Regarding focus, the anamorphic are not as sharp as modern lenses, so I believe this might be interpreted as being out of focus. I monitored focus with peaking and used a wireless follow focus to dial it in. So it should have been pretty close. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.

Thanks for the comments. I love engaging with the community. Only a few seem to know the secret. I think this camera is the sleeper of the year. I spent time today determined to have a play with ProRes Raw. I’m currently a Resolve user so part of the challenge was how to get the footage converted to something raw, that was still Resolve friendly. Oh boy, did that little adventure unlock just how good this camera is. I’m biting my tongue… but wow. It’s pretty impressive. Video coming soon!

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 can’t wait

Other than that, great video

I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for commenting.

@@angryrabbitproductions1690agreed

It’s a OG Star Trek thing… I went old skool on this one for fun.

Thanks for the detailed comments. In regards to color vs the red… the Red tends to shift green whereas the Sony becomes desaturated. IMO, the end result is similar, colors are lost. I think perhaps desaturated might even be easier to deal with vs everything becoming green cast. But I’m not a colorist. When it comes to dynamic range… well, I bought this camera thinking I was going to prove that the dynamic range was rubbish… remember, I’m a Red shooter. Perhaps subconsciously I wanted to prove that Red had a monopoly on global shutters. But after shooting with it, both in stills and video, I feel the dynamic range is on par. I tested against numerous cameras… the Canon Eos R3, Fujifilm XH2S, GFX100 II and the Red. After exhaustive testing I was satisfied that the dynamic range was actually pretty good. But more importantly, the exposure latitude, which is how much you can recover in shadows or highlights is easily as good if not a little better than the Red. I wanted to hate this camera, I went into this testing admittedly biased; But the Sony won me over. If you’re curious, perhaps try renting one?

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 Very interesting news for me. Thank you again. Shame on Sony that they did not do what you did. Their marketing was targeting outdoors flash photographers, event and action photographers. Though, I am shooting on Fujifilm xh2s. I actually suffered recovering colors on the heavily lifted areas. It may be due to my experience using davinci resolve, I dont know. But I feel Red is much better on this. (just feeling) If A9III has at least the same exposure latitude with RED (in general) with global shutter and with such ease to stabilize using gyro data, for me and for my expectations from a camera A9III would have been a good match. I will certainly grab a A9III for several days somehow and experience and compare it to other cameras that I have, especially to my RED komodo x. Thank you very much you made me sad and regret buying komodo x 😀. Just joking. 👍 I wish you the best with your underrated channel and with all of your works.

Hi thanks for the question. The R5C never tempted me. The lack of internal NDs and poor battery life meant I would always need to rig it. So I never purchased one. I passed on the FP-L also. I, like everyone, was really hoping for a Foveon sensor in the next FP iteration. So the FP-L was not on my radar. Do you own either of them? What’s your take?

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 Hi Thanks for your response. Im still shooting with a rusty cannon 5D Mark11 and its soon time for me to finally :) updgrade so im tryingn to figure out which way to go - so many really good options I might just look around for what is going well priced pre loved - I was thinking it was between a sony FX3 and and cannon R5C but the sigma fp and fp L have really captured my imagination

The lenses used are listed in the video for each scene. For the GFX100 II the lenses were the 50mm f3.5 and the 55mm f1.7.

The whole video is a comparison test… talking parts included.

Congratulations on the Komodo X. You certainly won’t be disappointed. Of all my cameras the Komodo has proven to be among the most reliable thus far. Even all this time later, I love my Red. As for lenses, the Voigtlanders are my go to when I need to keep things compact/light. I can’t say I’ve tried the Nikon F route. I’d be curious how this is working for you. M-Mount lenses are a fairly popular option for Komodo series owners… There is even a compatibility guide on Reduser. Thanks for posting and enjoy your new camera!

I’m afraid not. But I might consider offering them at some point. I’ll keep you posted.

Good guess. Since I made this video I’ve become aware of a new plugin made by Video Village called FilmBox. IMO, it might just be the most accurate film plugin to date. There is a free (but limited) version on their website. I’d be curious to hear your opinion.

lol, I’m like paparazzi… unless she’s dressed up… then I’m recruited to take all the selfies. Friend, this is our world:)

Welcome to the journey!

is it technically possible to manufacture another lens that goes over the 20mm lens and converts it to a 35 mm or a 50mm?

noise reduction and the adjustment of sharpness was recently added to the latest firmware. it all depends on what mode you are in.

Please to meet you also. Thanks for watching.

Honestly, the Panasonic S5IIX is a much more versatile camera than anything made by BMD. So if the short film is the only use case, and you need the flexibility of BRaw, then go with the Pocket. If however, you can spring for the Video Assist… the Panasonic will serve you better in more situations.

Honestly, the Panasonic is a much more versatile camera. I’d definitely choose it over the BMP6k.

I’m having the same dilemma. Can’t decide between the pocket6k g2 and the s5iix. I’d honestly rather have the lumix and just slap a blackmagic video assist recorder but I love the blackmagic color science. This does look very comparable though, do you have any videos comparing one of the pocket cameras to the s5iix with the video assist

Pleased to hear you enjoyed the video. I haven’t tried adapting Canon lenses yet. I’m in Las Vegas atm, and I did take the GFX and the GF 20-35mm and 50mm lenses. I’ll be shooting in h.265 in FLog 2. Sub to be notified when video goes live. Exciting times for sure.

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 subbed. Have fun in Las Vegas. Looking forward to more vids!

Yes, and honestly that may be part user error. Though, I would not expect this camera to measure up to the newest Sony or Canon systems. I feel for video, manual focus is perhaps the more reliable choice. But I wanted to show you what it was like. I have to say though, I do like the images out of the Fujifilm... And the versatility with the wide array of lenses it can utilize.

Sorry for the delay. I’ve just been really busy. I hope you enjoyed it. Honestly, the GFX100 II is the most exciting camera I’ve owned since my Red. It’s extraordinarily good. I’d go as far as to call it truly special. Are you considering one?

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 I’m happy you spent time enjoying it! I’m definitely interested! Video is just a hobby that makes me happy, and the GFX100ii would be a needless extravagance, but I’ve got a big birthday coming up, so…

It’s a lot of lettuce for a mirrorless camera for sure, but imo absolutely worth it. This is the first large format camera that is flexible enough to see regular usage with my shooting style. It’s one of the rare “special” cameras. But ultimately each of us needs to decide on such a purchase for ourselves. I’d be curious to learn what you decide. Thanks for posting.

​@@angryrabbitproductions1690it definitely is worth it. I make 25k and I just spent 7k on this camera. I now live in skid row in Los Angeles but I have a nice camera. Worth it.

Oh boy

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 Well I am poorer now.

👍

That’s an easy one, the DJI RS3 Mini. It’s fairly compact, but more capable. Plus I’ve come to trust DJI gimbals.

As I recall the Tascam did not need the Cloud Lifter. It’s a pretty capable audio adapter.

Thanks for the question. The battery sleds should snap into the bottom of the adapter. I’m not sure which part you are referring to as the thick part.

Which settings are you after? ISO is in the video. Everything was shot Raw, 6K internal. 24 fps.

Really, please explain?

I generally opt for 30-40%. I prefer to keep the internal preamps on the lower side to avoid noise. In studio I almost always opt for external 32-bit float audio. For video with voice over I use a Neumann MT48.
