Adventure & Travel Filmmaking - Why Jon Scott Uses the Panasonic Lumix GH5

[@InfiniteTripping]

Glad to see Jon using it...we use it too! :-)

[@BaylorCaughornBTC]

blown away by the image quality produced by this combo

[@JonathanJScottFilms]

Had a lot of fun making this video, hope you like it ;-)

[@lakecomo7762]

Mr Jonathan, I and we put this video in a sort of major league...we have seen only Neumann films and Yuri Palma delivering something like this with Gh5. Seems an Arri or a Red. Subb

[@JonathanJScottFilms]

LAKE COMO thank you, yes the GH5 is a very powerful tool, and the ninja inferno helps you get the absolute best quality possible.

Jonathan J Scott Films I like your cinematography work. I am looking forward to purchasing the Panasonic GH5 as well as the GH4.

[@ruff1draft]

I also am going to purchase the Atomos Ninja

[@pingmekarthik]

Jon Scott Thanks for sharing all the details and truly amazing shots !

[@AdvaitThakur]

Excellent video. Excellent scenes are shot. Very entertaining to watch.

[@henryjackson2271]

this was an amazing video, really helpful for those considering the GH5 like myself.

[@BCPaulVideoProd]

Gorgeous visuals, it really shows what the GH5 can do.

[@geekanoids]

Great video :D enjoyed it a lot.

[@AlexLopez-iy4by]

Great footage and thanks for info.

[@Frontigenics]

Simply amazing cinematography! Might be the best looking GH5 footage I've seen! But the question is... there is some GH5 footage out there that doesn't even look like it resolves 1080p... the detail is crushed and looks like a cell-phone, over-sharpened, mess. So do you shoot with the NR and Sharpness setting turned down to get such clean and natural looking detail? It truly looks like a cinema camera the way you shot it! Thanks!

[@Triple070007]

What camera shot the footage at 5:39? To me that looks the best out of the whole video

[@ericl9584]

Très belles images , merci !

[@randallherreraNyc]

this video makes me want to buy a pony .. all jokes aside great video! I just got my gh5, loving it!

[@Martinkellydop]

Great stuff, looks superb.

[@CarpeDiemMediaPro]

Great work! 2 questions: 1. What lenses would you recommend for a travel cinematic filmographer that will also be doing vlogs in addition? 2. How did you get into travel filmmaking? It would be a dream of mine to make a living doing that.

[@JonathanJScottFilms]

Sean Olesiuk thanks, depends what camera you are using but a flexible zoom lens like a 12-35 on micro four thirds sensor or 24-70 or 24-105 on full frame. Work hard, keep learning and shoot as much as you can is the best advice I can give.

[@CarpeDiemMediaPro]

Thanks for the reply! I have a GH5 but no lens yet and Im deciding between the Panasonic 12-35, 12-60 2.8, or Sigma 18-35 with Metabones. Any advice?

[@JonathanJScottFilms]

Sean Olesiuk all good lenses, some more expensive than others.

[@CarpeDiemMediaPro]

Any you would recommend?

[@imawildman]

Kudos! Great video.

[@WexPhotoVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it! KH

[@pete49327]

Excellent, thumbs up. BTW, what color profile did you use for this video? Do you think the firmware upgrade of 400 mbps will be significant or just a marketing ploy? TIA

[@JonathanJScottFilms]

Thanks. A customised version of the Cine-D profile was used for this shoot. Will have to wait for the 400Mbps firmware update to see what its like.

[@JohnHPhotographyFilms]

@Jonathan J Scott Films - I will be purchasing the GH5 very soon, I notice you said that is records 10 bit 4.2.2 into the Atomos, but it shoots this internally? Does the Atomos give it a better image over internal recording?

[@Athina0]

not in 60p

[@flofly6816]

Hey Jon. Are u relying on the GH5's autofocus with the syncro scan hack? Otherwise the crane 2 wont work with the remote on the handle bars.

[@leguidesafari]

Wow ! Great great great video ! The quality is unbelievable… which film making software you using to upload this video on KZbin ? I am a safari guide and I want to invest in a GH5 with the same lense as you (12-60mm) for vlog videos and a Sigma 150-600mm F5-6,3 DG OS HSM for wildlife footage from the vehicule. Do you think that it's a good choice ? Will I still get a very good image quality like on your video with sharp lines ? Thank you very much for your answer and once again well done

[@dennisgelner8898]

Hey, nice video, how did you mount the Ninja Inferno to the gimbal arms? could you link a product please? thank you.

[@jasonlindquistmedia]

super nice, love my gh5 good work!!

[@mylesthompson5804]

I just bought this, had a serious case of buyer's remorse after seeing tons of mediocre GH5 videos on KZbin but now after watching this video I feel much better about the decision.

[@SamChristopher2KX]

I haven't bought a GH5 yet (on the fence) but I too, am only seeing mediocre videos online. What's the deal?! Most videos look like everything is sharp, like a gopro.

[@Frontigenics]

"Most videos look like everything is sharp, like a gopro." Yep... I've been seeing the same thing as well. Some GH5 videos don't even look like 1080p. But this video... wow. It really looks like Red or Alexa level detail. The crappy over-sharp videos must be cranking up the awful in-camera sharpening and NR settings.

[@chrismhp]

The camera is just one tool; it can only do so much in the wrong or right hands. You could give an Arri Alexa to an inexperienced shooter and they'd make it look like a home video. Anything from the GH4 or A7S are more than enough to create great cinematic images...if you know what you're doing. All the extra bells and whistles of the GH5 and beyond are only there to service shooters who really understand how to pull the most out of those features. Lens choice, eye for cinematography (location and lighting), camera movement, and post-processing are all more important than the camera you choose. Those are the things that really decide what your images look like.

[@qtben17]

Most gh5 vids i see on yt have orangey skin tones, sephia look or the crazy overused teal and orange look. Not sure if im getting gh5 as an upgrade but i think id be okay with my 8 bit a6500 - 5dm4 combo

[@BodhiGeraci]

It's noobs not knowing how to use the camera

[@HviteVinger]

Great video! Just lovely footage. Do you find the Lumix 12-60 good enough for light wildlife filming, or would you rather recommend the PanaLeica 12-60?

[@EdsEverydayAdventures]

Can I use my Nikon 70-200 lens with it? I know there are adapters, but is there a loss of quality?

[@activatehalo7763]

NSC Photography Yes you can adapt easily. No there won't be a drop in quality.

[@EdsEverydayAdventures]

Thank you!

[@danieldougan269]

Get a Metabones Speed Booster to adapt the lens. It will be killer. I have heard the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 lens is a killer combination with the GH5 and a Speed Booster.

[@jonischwalbach623]

do you think that it is still worth buying the GH5 in mid/late 2018? I am really thinking of getting it next month...thanks

[@ReinhardBiller]

I would say it is still worth in 2020. ;) Just got mine.

[@DanceStarsNYC]

Hi! Beautiful imagery! Did you use anamorphic lenses/mode for this vid?

[@JonathanJScottFilms]

S-Company no, all spherical, you can see the lenses I used in the video.

[@goodyears]

what was the stabilizer?

[@BodhiGeraci]

zhiyen crane

[@mylesthompson5804]

Question: can you output 4K 4:2:2 to the Odyssey 7Q?

[@TheMariepi3]

panasonic must put in the next GH6 and FZ3000 ( with sensor m4/3) an output usb 3 to SSD disc and an output in cineform !!!

[@poppycocksa]

Doesn't overcranking push the recoding limits of the card?

[@ThegreatKIJOBEGA]

this video make me wanna buy GH5

[@CameronRadicePhoto]

Great video! Love my GH5 and Atomos as well. Which pistol grip gimbal are you using here?

[@JonathanJScottFilms]

Cameron Radice the Zhiyun Crane

[@ThePrimeTech]

nice video ^^

[@JussJacobbb]

I use the G7 I would love to save up for something like a GH5

[@jacobmullertv]

nice video guys

[@TheONeillFamilyOriginal]

Great Video a BIG like from us :-)

[@JonPais]

Can we get RAW HDMI out? Please?

[@cinque937]

Filmstro music?

[@sandeepcs8887]

Wow

[@frankfeng2701]

Isn't this too much gear for amateur travel photography/videography? I'm wondering how all this can fit into a backpack.

[@PunoPro]

Picture profile? V-Log

[@ColGadarby]

I am guessing you don't use autofocus.
