Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about.
Posting short films or other work you've done is encouraged.

We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras) and have interchangeable lenses.

Is using LUT's to color grade the proper way to color grade? It feels amateurish to just load up some pre made settings, slightly twik them and call it a day. Nearly every tutorial on YT has this workflow but don't want to be meme'd.

How do professionals color grade?

Depends on the project, sometimes a LUT is desired, sometimes not. LUTs simply put save a hell of a lot of time and can give great results. And time is money.

So I'm trying to budget a bit for the future. i curently have a Lumix G7 and most of my equipment basics, now it's time to upgrade stuff.
My Tripod head is a bit shit so I want to look into a new one. What are good tripod heads for fluid pan&tilt. i want two, for monpod and tripod, so they shouldnt cost more than 75€ each. Also, they should use ARCA SWISS or some similar standardized plate.
On the other hand, i want to step up my collection of vintage lenses. Right now have 3 FD lenses (old ones from Dad) and a AI-S lens. I plan on getting a speedbooster so I have a better low light perfomance and because it improves my range for standard lenses, since it pushes most good 28mm lenses into the 21mm area for my MFT cam
What are good Speedboosters/mount-systems to invest into? most that I've seen say either MD or FD, though I'm leaning towards FD. Is it worth going for Metabones or are other, cheaper brands fine too?

Depending on what your needs are (cheapness, focal reduction, electronics, aperture control) I'd say get a Metabones or Zhongyi Lens Turbo in either EF or NF.

I was in a similar position a while ago - I realised that there's very little if any good glass out there which is both fully manual and wide enough for M4/3. You need stuff which has been designed for APS-C or other crop sensors which is going to be electronic. You can still use a manual speedbooster to cut costs as long as it has an aperture control ring.

Anyone have experience using a 5d for shooting? I am investing in a new camera and was thinking of getting the Mark IV. Seems pretty solid; my only worry is dealing with sound direct in, but sound is always a bitch I guess.

all the footage I've seen of it is amazing and it's fantastic camera. Plus it's getting c-log in the summer.
But it doesn't shoot full-frame 4k, there's a x1.76 crop. While it shoots 4k at 4:2:2, 4k can't be recorded externally. Further, the 1080p is only 4:2:0 if recorded internally.
And the 4k file sizes are mjpegs which are good quality but absurdly large file-sizes

For about £500 (give or take) less, you can get the panasonic gh5 which records 4k 4:2:2 10-bit internally and also 8-bit at up to 60fps. It also has internal body stabilisation. It has more of a crop than the 5dmkiv but you can use a speedbooster on it to reduce the crop-factor down to x1.3

Personally, I think the biggest strength of the 5dmkiv is its amazing auto-focus that works natively with so many fantastic lenses, along with better quality 4k than almost all of its competition (save the gh5).
But the gh5 has better image quality and stabilisation at a cheaper price

As for dealing with sound, the gh5 is again a better bet with a sound add-on you can buy that lets you add xlr inputs. But it's not exactly 'cheap'. Personally I'd recommend recording externally anyway but to each their own

One thing that pretty much no one ever mentions is that it shoots DCI 4k where most so-called 4k cameras only shoot UHD.
It's a difference of around 550,000 pixels. Nothing major, but worth bearing in mind

I come for your knowledge /vid/.
I need to shoot a bit of video in about a months time. Nothing fancy, just a home video of a wedding.
Trouble here is the gear I have access to. Fuji xt1, pana lx100, sony rx100iii and I can use the bride's a canon 7D. Not ideal. The problem is the limited rec time on fuji and canon and the lack of mic input on the other two.
I expect that the church part will take about 30mins and I'd like it to be just one stationary take. I guess an external audio recorder with lx100 could solve this, but is there something I'm missing? Suggestions? Would be kinda pointless to buy a recorder to use it once. Although, I do have an old nokia 808 with its mighty audio recording capabilities.

Fuji xt2 with the grip can take 30mins of fhd video, and it can take standard mic and the video quality is adequate, so maybe I'm in for an update. I like how fuji operates, iq has never been an issue to me tho sharpening can be a bit tricky.
I thought about going a7ii but turned out video on it is as much of a joke as it's on the xt1...

Install Magic Lantern to remove recording limits. Audio-wise what do you need to record? Phone w/ lav mic in the pocket if you just need to record the bride & groom, or a Zoom H1 on a stand you can move around for speeches. Both incredibly cheap options.

So I'm gonna be coming into some money soon

I want to spend big on a short film but I have no idea where to start. I'm tired of making shitty DSLR videos with a few friends and Little Caesar's for catering, I wanna make something legitimate and professional. Who the fuck do I talk to to make this happen? Like, where do I find a producer who will put it together for me? is ~$50,000 or so even enough to make something that looks and sounds like a professional cinematic film/commercial?

I just want to focus on my vision and writing and let the DP/art director/crew do the heavy lifting for me but I don't know how much money I need to make that happen. Basically I want the same process directors of high budget films go through, where they communicate their vision and the crew just kinda makes it happen automatically without question of whether or not it'll look "professional". Does anyone have any experience in that kind of filmmaking world? Any advice? am I elucidating this properly?

also inb4 "just make a feature film with that money", I want to make something that's guaranteed to look and sound good. I want to worry about the fucking story rather than the technical elements, I want that shit to be guaranteed without even thinking about it. I don't want to be another failed fucking filmmaker.

look for filmmaking groups in your city, like facebook. See if any quality short films have been made in your city(search on YT), contact them and see if they are interested.

You don't need $50,000 to make something look professional assuming you are working with people who know what they are doing. But I also don't know if your script requires elaborate car chase scenes, props, costumes and heavy CGI.

$50,000 is honestly a waste to spend on a short film.
I'd say don't go over $10,000 on a single short (but really you should keep it under $5,000). You need to find a good producer or else do it yourself (I wouldn't advise this, it will distract you from directing).

If you can't find any producers (and you should be able to, just post in a filmmaking group like the above poster says, literally saying you're looking for a producer to help make a professional short-film) then you can always google video production companies in your area and go to one of them.

You'll find that films, while expensive, aren't THAT expensive.
The majority of the cost you need to worry about is acting fees, then location/props/costumes, then additional crew. You can make something "professional-looking" on a dslr simple enough as long as you light the scene properly. This will save you money on renting a cinema camera along with the costs involved of hiring someone who can competently operate a RED
You can then hire someone who can effectively operate a high-end glidecam instead of a steadicam which will again save you buckets of cash

Honestly I'd say $5k is too much for your first 'proper' short. I'd only sink that much money into one if you've got a fantastic producer onboard and a guaranteed dynamite script, as well as at least a few low-budget shorts under your belt. All that budget won't count for anything if the writing and direction isn't absolutely top-notch. Money is seldom ever the thing holding you back.

I think you're missing the point

I'm not spending money to make something automatically "good", I'm spending money to make sure my vision is executed professionally by experienced crew. I want the lighting and sound to be taken care of by people who know what the fuck they're doing so I can focus on what actually matters, the story

I'm under no impression that I can make something good without a quality script and skillful directing. but all this will do is give me more time and energy on those things rather than whether or not the lighting/color grading looks "professional". And I'm not interested in making something that looks cheap.

>if your """vision""" would be really great, then you actually could find people who actually GIVE you money for realizing it

this is pure fucking bullshit

if you want investors to give you money you need PROOF of your skills. and if you want proof of your skills the best way is to hire a professional crew to execute your vision properly. I'm not saying films can't be made cheaply but 99% of films accepted to relevant festivals are made with real crews and real money.

As someone who's worked on 'serious' short films with semi-famous actors, they don't cost anywhere near the amount you're wanting to spend. Further, the production crew involved is always looking for ways to reduce the cost

On top of that, 90% of all short films I watch I have the incredible sense of "what a fucking waste of money" cause they've clearly spent a few grand to produce a piece of shit. They 'look' professional enough, but the story is shit and the dialogue is cringey and the concept isn't bold enough.
If you don't want to take anyone's advice, that's fair enough. But don't ask for it if you don't want it. And if you can't take advice when you ask for it, I can't imagine what will happen when your crew tries to give you advice or when you want to do something that just can't be done

that's good for lenses > 1.33x .. but if you think about it, it makes the whole thing redundant. you give up horizontal resolution (16:9 -> 4:3 ) in order to gaining horizontal resolution ( 4:3 -> 2.39:1 ). This way you'll lose resolution. If you'd use a 1.33x on 16:9 you'd win at least vertical resolution.

Sony itself isn't a meme, but FF is.
ASP-C is perfectly fine.
Some people even like MFT because of 16mm
Also, Sony-jello is a thing, so get proper stabilization or stay away from Sony if you need to move a lot.
I do smallscale documentary shooting and decided on a GH4/G7 setup specifically for that reason. Cant wait to upgrade to the newer generation for double stabilization and all-around sealing.

Advice for beginning filmmakers, write what you can film, because some movies look cheap on paper, but when you add in all the costs in the stunt work and all the precautions needed, then it gets expensive, and you may need to make the film apart of SAGAFTRA.

They're built cheaply and will fall apart quickly, I say from experience having had this shit literally snap in half. Most people who use them, especially with DSLRs) don't actually need them and just use them for appearances (which is ironic because they look like kids' toys). Proper shoulder rigs with handles and weights etc. are designed for use with large camera rigs with large lenses, matte boxes, batteries, monitors, wireless transmitters etc. Using one, even a cheap one for your light-as-a-feather DSLR is just kinda pointless and provides very little real stabilisation. There are much better minimalist rigs you can use - for example for r&g I have my BMPCC with a follow focus, one handle and viewfinder which is light, sturdy and gives me my three points.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt:

The first don't really have a theme, it's just what appears to be random shots of the city, the cinematography is a bit weak sometimes, like you randomly shot scenes just to fill the gaps and it's not telling us anything, they're just pretty pictures on top of the music. The character isn't going anywhere, no goals, the cuts at 1:11... I don't know what's going on here. Also your character (you?) is trying too hard.

Second one is much more interesting in my opinion, still trying a bit too hard but I actually feel like I'm following him somewhere, I feel more engaged in the "story", the composition is interesting.

Overall I like the color grading, lighting could use some work sometimes (it's not highlighting what you want us to see, my eyes aren't attracted to what I feel you want me to look at, maybe too much camera shake and cuts.

thx for the feedback anon
the character is not me, it's a friend of mine. I did all the filming, editing, etc.
it's also pretty much guerrilla filmmaking if you wanna call it that since I shot everything on location that I didn't have permits for. it's also just me and the guy in the vid (and another friend to play the demon in the second one), I didn't have any lights and only tried to make do with what available light I had in any given situation.

the first one was more of a test of what the camera can do so it feels a bit disjointed like you said, no real theme, just shots of the guy in the city, mostly to capture the feel of it a bit.

the second one I had more time to do it and think about it a bit, but again was limited by what I could achieve on my own and with the locations I could find. So I just made a fairly simple story and expanded a bit on the exploring in the first one.

>it's not highlighting what you want us to see, my eyes aren't attracted to what I feel you want me to look at, maybe too much camera shake and cuts.

I only watched the second one because the first one looked boring.
Having said that, I quite enjoyed it. The opening shots felt a bit uninspired and there was a lot of nothing happening
But I really liked the general look it had

Only real thing I'd say needed improvement was the stabilisation at times was kinda wonky (and not just in a hand-held way)
Also you had a lot of shots of the exact same thing happening

The end was definitely the best part but yeah, nice one

might be because I've spent a few days working on it what with the filming and editing and everything but I come to hate looking at what I make immediately after I finish it. for these videos in particular I feel that they don't look pro and that the picture quality is fairly video-ish/amateurish.

I'll consider what you and the other anon said about some of the shots and try and go either with a tripod or work on my framing so that the subject of the shot is clearer to the viewer.

What's a better use of my money. £150 for a F1.7 25mm MFT lens. Or £120 for a Lens Turbo II to mount my existing OM mount lens. (f2.8 28mm, f1.8 50mm, f3.5 135mm). I currently have a kit 14-45mm f3.5-5.6 which is really shit.

not the guy you were replying to but I'd say just save up for a speedbooster with your prefered mount (EF, nikon, sony or whatever) and get proper lenses for it.
I can't imagine MFT lenses being any better than the kit vario 14-42mm lens, and it's not worth the money for only a minor improvement.

I used the LTII with a legacy mount and found it impossible to get wide enough. You need a speedbooster and lenses designed for crop sensors. Sigma 18-35 and Metabones is the classic combo.

>residential streets and alleys and the backs/sides of businesses

these are not luts in the sense of an nle. these are post-render luts which are executed on the whole result. you cannot use them scene specifficially. the strip modifiers are handy for a rough adjust, but you shouldn't use them for demanding products. use the video editor for editing and for grading use the compositor. the compositer is damn mighty.

the af100 is officially discontinued since the last (hardware) update with that pseudo-10bit sdi output. I doubt there will be any update, neither soft or hard. i guess they had difficuties placing the cinecorder in that price-range because of the mft sensor and all the plebs demanding for muh sensor size. though it is a gorgeous cinecorder - a little demanding but after all a real insider tip because prices on 2nd hand dropped rediculously.

Hello, i'd like some advice from the experts here...

I've posted here sometimes, i'm a 23 yo guy who studied communications and i work in a studio as a video editor (mostly motion graphics, 2d animations and filming tv commercials and shit).

Recently i made my first shortfilm ever (i've been studying Dslrguide, Film Riot, etc. for some time now) for my last career class and i liked some things about it but it has obvious flaws (the story is not even finished).

My city is literally a shit hole and i really hate being a wageslave here, i want to move to one of the big cities from my country (which has bigger studios than the one i work (which is the biggest of the city)). But this agencies have works like these: https://vimeo.com/217701319

And my short film is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SPmDeOo_mY&t=1052s

Am i really that far from working with people like this? What can i do? Should i build a demo reel with the best shots from my short film and motion graphics? Or should i wait and do more short films for building a better reel?

Thanks in advance.

Seriously the lack of pre-multiplied alpha blending in most NLEs is disgusting. Even the keying filters spit out source-alpha. I've nothing against building overlay methods from base but how can I can I multiply the texture components with the alpha component manually, if I cannot even latch the result before masking it on the destination layer? As if I would render a temporary file every time for that. .. Is there a different method to pre-multiply the alpha values just with base overlay tools I'm not aware of?

Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of preparing for entrance exams for film school. Regardless of wether you guys think it's worth it or not, I'm having a bit of a problem. Got ran over by a car about 2 years ago and almost at the point where I'm mobile again after multiple surgeries.

I've being doing alot of technical exercises in both shooting and editting and I think I'm going to start the education with a bit of a foot ahead. The main problem here being is that most of them require a finished project (between 2-4 minutes) but that I'm still limited to a radius of 250 meters surrounding my white suburban boring town.

Hence, I've been having real trouble in coming up with a project I can do during my immobility. Already have a few other projects storyboarded and ready to go once I get mobile again, but once that's the case, those entrance exams will be long over.

Help me come up with something I can do from a bed / on crutches for maximally 15-30 min, please. It's been very frustrating. It can be simple and highly derivative even, doesn't really matter.

You can simply multiply the alpha-layer with itself. Though you will lose some luma this way. You can compensate the loss with a gamma correction. In case your source-alpha is a result of a mask, try to apply the mask directly on the destination, instead of keying it. I am aware most NLEs do not support mask-shifting, but this is the correct way to do it. Keying should be the last option when no other way is possible. You always lose applicative data while keying.

Because FF is a meme.
even MFT is close enough to Super35.
The cinematic look consists of more than just BOKEH. It consists mainly of lighting, composition and cut.
But "athmospheric" shorts with lots of BOKEH and focus travel and a nifty premade grading on Final Cut Pro draw lots of attention from the artsy crowd.
Most startup producers/camera teams are better served with a fully rigged and pimped out BMPCC than a 5D or A7

But it's worth noting that if you have existing FF Lenses then you'll be better served by lack of crop.

Also FF Gets a bit more light in, is it huge? eh. FF > Super35\APS-C > MFT >>> the rest. and this is only in terms of size. Really no discernable difference in quality. Also some of the Lower Res FF Sensors do fairly well in low light because of le larger pixels

If you like shooting full frame Pictures and have the equipment, Go FF. But don't go out of your way to buy FF if you're just doing video.

I mean, a friend of mine pretends to be a rapper and i just want to help him for fun. It won't be something serious, furthermore i am completly new to /video/ but not to photography.

Or moght it be better, to borrow a video camera from somewhere?

Im not planning on doing a serious music video,it just shouldn't look as horrible as filming with my smartphone

Tl;dr
>is the D7100 good for filming a shitty musiv video?

dude, you're talking bullshit indeed. hollywood is not shoving FF in their anuses. you forget that smaller sensors have the benefit of providing more depth of focus (less bokkakeh) with more light (same aperture = more dof), which is wanted in motion picture. .. who da fuck is so stupid to think that the more shallow background the better? .. even in photography this isn't true, but especially for cinema, where pictures are thrown on large screens, you don't want too much destroyed background (not to speak of when shooting 3d).

so, you horrible amateur, estimate your how-hollywood-works bullshit not before you've shot something you have seen at least ONCE on a cinema screen.

the diffraction limit is proportional to the wavelength. roughly said an optical system can resolute max. 400nm. a pixel on a sensor is around 10µm. roughly 20x the theoretical limit ...

it has nothing to do with the diffraction limit. roughly said this is related to poor bulding of the lens. and it happens for stills as well as video.

and you see a soft lens also in 1080p, of course. related to the size of displaying of course. you see it also on xvga when blown up.

I assume with "wider look" you mean the larger image circle. and out of all the "myriads" of reasons you picked this? interesting. because you fooled yourself again. the broad tendency in serious productions is to avoid wide angles. simply because of the distance distortion which is especially unpleasant for faces. thus wide shots are an exception, mostly for landscapes/areas or when the location demands it for some reason.

the road so far:
>hollywood do FF because bokeh
no, bokeh is shit on large screen
>ok, then they do because wide angle
no, wide is shit on faces

Depends of what kind of documentary. if you're doing interviews then a lavalier microphone is usually the go-to, learn how to set it up properly (there a many things that can go wrong, check a Youtube video or two about that), a shotgun microphone is great and can be used for interviews as well (get something to mount if though), one more thing regarding interviews: get something to record YOURSELF, I can't believe the amount of interviewers who just don't have a sound reference of themselves, we can't barely hear the questions asked because they're behind the shotgun mic, deal with it in post-prod must be a nightmare.

Also, get a clap.

I somehow doubt that, since you seem not to have an idea about how to record audio. But for starters forget about what the other anon said. Lavalier and shotguns are crap anyways. Well, actualle shotguns can be helpful, but not that "shotguns" people buy for their shitty DSLRs. The capability of a shutgun mic to narrow the direction of sensitivity is proportional to the length of the interference tube. A short shutgun can only isolate very high frequencies. I use tubes not under 80cm length, and even those isolate "only" >= 420Hz. Though, in post processing you can use the high frequency narrowing as a reference signal to expand the lower frequencies by proximity (sidechain triggering). But this is not how you get high-quality audio. This - and same goes for lavalier - is an emergency tool, for situations you have no other choice. You can frickle for ages on a shotgun + lavalier recording and it will still sound crappy in the end.

Some people will recommend you cardioid or hyper-cardiod small membrand condenser microphones. In a XY-setting most likely. But especially for outdoor ambient recording this is wrong. Cardioids are extremely sensitive to wind and the only way to get rid of that is to hang up the whole microphone (membran + housing) in a calm surrounding like a cage. Then you need fabrics around to break the wind. Now imagine this on a cardioid mic with a 60cm interference tube. These are those large mics you see filmteams carry around which looks like a dead animal on a stick.
But also these handy audio-recorders with built-in microphones use cardioids in a XY-setting. Same problem. These stupid companies sell simple foam-windshields. Which is rediculous for cardioids (when there is no calm surrounding environment, they are useless).

Also the XY-setting is semi-optimal, because due to the 90° angle in which the microphones are positioned and the cardiod characteristic, you get slight phase shifts on specific frequencies. And the idea (cont.)

(cont.) of a XY-setting is to get the stereo impression by the difference of the level of the channels, not the phase position.

So, here is what you should do for high-end audio: Get small membran condenser microphones with an omni-directional characteristic. The building-style of omni-directionals have the benefit, that they are less sensitive to wind an you can totaly calm them with foam-windshields. Place then either in an AB-setting or - even better - a close AB with a Jacklin-disk divider inbetween. (In case you need a downward-compatibility to mono sound, consider a MS-setting with an 8-characteristic as S and a onmi-directional as the M instead a cardioid. It works fine, in spite of what some people might say to you.)

Of course the basics are necessarry: Symmetric cables (frequency synchronizied in the best case), 12AT7 tube pre-amplifiers, high-end D/A-converters with 192khz oversampling and 32bit depth. ... oh, and don't overdo post-processing.

sound devices builds decent field recorders. the mix-pre 3/6 uses class-a pre-amps and 32bit a/d-converters (end format is 24bit though). The interface feature and that blutooth bullshit is redundant but I guess a good deal for the lower price-range. I'd prefer a more minimalistic recorder with a stronger focus on output quality, but these are harder and harder to get.

It's a step in the right direction for Canon but after working with the Ursa Mini Pro, I find it hard to believe that it would be better. It's twice as expensive and the Ursa does 4444 and RAW if needed. Right now I'd say that's the best bang for your buck on the market. In fact it's better than most cameras one or two tiers above it at this point, the only downside is that the button placement is a bit off and the body feels plasticky when you compare it to a RED or Arri stuff. But if we're just talking quality of footage, it's hard to beat.

As usual with Canon, if they put the C200 out 3 years ago it would have been amazing, now it's just one of many, and not even the best one of many.

It is pro when you make the lut from scratch, not buy from xXLuTsXx or some youtubers pack.
Typically, you balance or 'normalize' the image first then apply the look afterwards.
The look is something that you and the director have thought and planned of before the shoot during camera tests. From the tests you fiddle and fiddle with looks until youre both happy then either use that as a LuT or as knowledge on how to achieve it come the final grade.

No you stupid fucking retard.
Stop.
you're about to blow 50k on something you have no clue about.

Do you have any experience at all? Like ever? Have you ever been on a real film set?
If your writing is worth a 50k budget for a short film, then you're not the one who spends the 50k, you get hired. Do you seriously think your story is worth $50,000? Someone with no existing credits or experience?

Heres the upside.
The story is key. You absolutely need to face the fact that maybe your story isnt amazing.
But thats ok, make it anyway. Find some local out of film school crew who are still amateur and youll be amazed by what they can do because theyre driven by passion and are looking for real experience. Pay them minimal and be sure to feed them.
As long as everyone is happy and driven youll make a good film. If theyre using a gh5 or a Ursa mini then you are absolutely golden.
If your story is as amazing as you say, youll get the recognition and professionalism you deserve. The 'image quality' will have nothing to do with it.
The next few films will just get more and more high quality

Think like this, credit is given when credit is due. Nothing else will matter

Ignore him. Focus peaking only works for a rough approximation when you need to quickly move between focal points. When your depth of field is this shallow and what's in focus is changing this fast, it won't help
>>3098848
So with this video two things are going on, you have an extremely shallow depth of field, and this is causing you to keep adjusting your focus despite being a mostly static shot

Use a slower aperture. For a shot like that, the cat's head doesn't move that much and should be able to stay in focus without adjusting it (if you use a deeper depth of field)
Don't fall into the meme of always using the fastest speed aperture available.
In terms of initially finding focus, most cameras have the ability to zoom in on the picture letting you see more clearly whether or not your subject is in focus

What kind of headphones/monitors do you guys use while editing? Would you use different headphones/monitors while editing video then you would working on music or listening to music?

monitors for editing are different from monitors for consuming. end-user monitors are equalized contrary to the human ear, means mids are softer, lows and highs harder. a monitor for editing is flat and ideally does not weight any spectrum. end-user always dislike an editing monitor due to they find the sound to "thin". especially headphones.

music and video editing is different in the number of channels. while stereo is enough for music, you need at least 5.1 for motion picture. which means 5 clear channels and one sub. I use 7 genelec 1030a and a db S09 for 7.1 surround. more than 6 sides is redundant in my opinion, but some people appreciate the extra stereo fronts in 9.1. and for headphones I swear the Sennheiser HD 280 were the flatest heads ever. you mostly use headphones to adjust the single elements and channels.

if you don't do cinema or high-end tv you can work with stereo though. but in amy case: be advised that the best monitors are useless if you don't damp the room they are used in. especially monitors in corners or blank walls are completely stupid. damp the room, break the corners (90° is the enemy) and place the monitors away from walls.

I want to shoot both video and photo and I'm heavily invested in the Canon FD mount so I'm considering buying either the A7R ii or the A7S ii.

Which is more balanced? The A7R ii seems to be slightly cheaper and I'll be selling my a6300 to partially fund this purchase.

What do you think, vid?

a7rii is more balanced. (Disclaimer, I've never used either, this is all based on what I've read)

a7rii works decently as a stills camera as well as for video.
The only real advantage of the a7sii is its insane low-light capabilities. But photos are only like 12mp
Both cameras have poor battery life and atrocious rolling shutter effects.

Having said all that, even though /p/ hates it, the a7sii is basically the defacto budget filmmaking camera (by that, I mean that it's the one everyone will recommend as the best available unless you're prepared to invest in an actual video camera (and for the sake of this, the bmpcc counts as an actual video camera)). But that was before the gh5 released

Do your research and figure out what features are important to you
(Also, pretty sure you can easily adapt canon fd to mft no?)

for a low-budget feature length documentary, what are my best funding options?
Grants, crowdfunding, slef-funding? Is there anything I'm missing?
More importantly, does anyone here know about the tax implications for film crowdfunding in the UK? I've began looking into it and it's just one giant grey area

what's wrong with you amateurs? are you so deep into the aid abscess that you don't even think of getting money by demand and supply? how about your "feature length" documentary is actually bought-in by a tv-station or a distibutor for cinema?
oh, nobody will buy your stupid project? then do me a favour and think at least a second about if the world really needs your docu, if nobody ever asked you for it.

... why is it that so many plebs in film think they are detached from basic economic principles? if nobody pays you for your work then yes blablabla things are unfair blabla, but look at yourself and be honest: are you really doing a project which is relevant in the slightest way a.k.a.: someone asked you for!?

Given the prevalence of FD lens reviews done on MFT bodies I'd say yes
It's just that the Focal lengths ar enot very fitting unless you use a focal reducer to create a pseudo-APS-C

I am trying to make a low quality live music video for one of my songs with a Canon Powershot G11 and a Tripod.

How do you edit together different camera angles like in the video below? Do you need multiple cameras?

Also, are there any decent free camera editing softwares to adjust contrast and put filters on the video?

I would encourage you to write something from this unfortunately and sucky situation you find yourself in.

What frustrations are you going through right now? What do you wish you could be doing? Anything funny or weird happen while you're stuck at home?

"Oh boy, this situation sucks!" is the premise to a ton of interesting, funny, and even heartwarming films. Use it.

Technically speaking, it'll be tough no matter what and it sounds like you are looking or more of an idea than tech help, so mull over what I said above.

Good luck! Film school is not worth it, speaking as a soon-to-be-grad, but it's not useless.

Conversion filters are a solid thing. The loss of light is actually marginal. And a camera is not that sensible to minor temperature shifts. Use pro stuff tho. No cheap filers. Best is glass of course. Also from my experience if your cam says 5600K, go with a 4300K filter. Most CTB filters tend to be a little bit too blue in my opinion.

If you're a crafty guy you can build something like that out of a cheap shock mount for a large dia condenser microphone

Shoot inf aster FPS (50 or 60) so you can slow it down to half speed to give it that "in the moment" feel or whatever these kids with their yoyos and skateboards call it.

City shots were good - agree with the other poster saying the park shots weren't as strong.

Good work though.
