Fairground - Gh5 Anamorphic 4:3 4k 50p

[@certainty2958]

Definitely the best anamorphic footage I've seen on a GH5 yet. More information on the lens, taking lens, settings, colour grading would rule. Good work

[@Tochka_Starta]

Definitely, more information needed. This footage looks awesome!

[@ichidomo]

Thank you!

[@reyals66]

It'll be of great help if you can do a video with a rundown of your GH5 + anamorphot setup

[@Lvisionmedia]

It is still micro four thirds. But a really impressive camera. I like mft sensors for filming. I own a gh2 which is still a cool camera. By the way: beautiful video thx for sharing

[@ichidomo]

I'm still thinking of uploading some original footage later. Will keep you posted. And congrats with the kowa, it's a very sharp scope. Be sure to check if it needs a sharpness tune.

[@gnkstudios6138]

Anamorphic greatness. I wish i can reconstruct my eyes to see anamorphic. Fantastic job with this short film. Anamorphic is the new slow mo

[@pumpum000]

i still can't believe this kind of quality is made from a $2000 mirrorless camera, awesome video!

[@ichidomo]

Me neither ;) Thank you.

[@srobart]

Wow. Just wow. You put out some of the most amazing footage that I've seen, from ANY camera. You're a master of light and movement. More please!

[@JanksMorton]

I bought my GH5 in part because of this short. I've seen the reviews, seen the footage, but nothing comes close to this (especially in the world of anamorphic adapters) I've had a proximar + helios combination for 3 years and never had the time patience or courage to work with it seriously. Well, it's getting broken in this summer thanks to you!!!!!! bravo on your amazing and inspiring work!

[@stanlymanly2]

This is the best and most convincing anamorphic footage from the GH5 I've seen. So many of the SLR Magic primes with the GH5 look like crap. This is the video that really solidified my purchase. Thank you!

[@matto29]

Just rewatched this on my home theatre projector, looks even better at 120". Love it.

[@ghoulds]

That glass though! Really shines on this sensor, very RED-like. Great job on the sound design also!

[@BernardBertrand]

totally agree ! by far the best anamorphic footage I've seen with the GH5 so far, really well done Tim

[@ichidomo]

Thank you Bernard! :)

[@allo4592]

I had some struggles during these weeks on which camera to buy, between the GH5 and the A7S. Thank you for making me choose again Panasonic

[@sbrown6434]

Dude you're honestly the best I've seen. This is some magnificent footage. I've been trying to copy this setup but holy shit, this is just amazing. You're the Elvis of anamorphic on the GH5. Thanks for sharing all this info. Much appreciated!

[@Spiritcrusher86]

Looks awesome, great colors, track sharp, love the new ana mode on the GH5!

[@d77droid]

Awesome, i get even more inclined to the GH5, seems like an awesome camera! These anamorphic setups are mind blowing, i need to find those lenses where i live. Thanks for the video.

[@RunNGunPhoto]

Absolutely gorgeous footage! Thanks for sharing! I'm hoping to get an anamorphic lens soon as well for my GH5.

[@ichidomo]

+Run N Gun thank you! Goodluck with the purchase :)

[@VMGIN]

You took me to the movies... awesome combo.

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

man those shots are INCREDIBLES! reminds me the opening scene from The Place Beyond The Pines. Fun fair are definitely a good place to go for nice lighting.

[@Mikeyorself]

Man I want an anamorphic lens. Wonderful video.

[@yudimirsa1956]

it's GH5 you know, it's hard to believe it's not Cine Camera!! Already being a fan of your work! SUBSCRIBE!!!!!!!

[@RawadHabib]

masterful! I wouldn't mind a second part where she takes the ride, such a compelling story! ♥️✨

[@DirectedbyJoshRich]

truly amazing, this is so cinematic

[@MartinBleazard]

SO beautiful dude!! Need some anamorphic goodness in my life

[@JaeCreator]

hi, is this glass the kowa 8.5mm 2.8?

[@ZalecanePl]

HOLY. FUCK. I'm impressed so much...

[@ichidomo]

+Zalecane.pl Thanks

[@ZalecanePl]

Can you upload something at higher resolution? Because this video is only 1080p 50fps :(

[@ichidomo]

I can't, sorry. Mixed it with 100/125fps shots at the end hence it's 1080.

[@stridentmusic1]

It's always a pleasure for my eyes to rewatch this Video, thank you very much for this master piece. Hope one day I can do something with an anamorphic lens

[@RJMPictures]

I love the grade too. Good job

[@escarface]

I want to cry because its beautiful!

[@stabbuswoundus]

Beaautifull!!! Fantastic! Best anamorphic video I've seen.

[@matto29]

This looks outstanding. Beautiful to watch, great job!

[@ichidomo]

thank you!

[@FilmDat]

Thought I was on Netflix, this is insane!

[@shubhamsingla8199]

Can you please make a tutorial on your anamorphic setup? Lots of Love! Saw this over hundreds times :)

[@eusouoabel]

best footage ever.. Can't believe i have the same camera.. and so far from this.. :) really great.. Panasonic should hire you..

[@ichidomo]

Thank you for the compliment Abel.

[@TK42138]

Looks great. Wouldn't look out of place on the big screen. It will be interesting to compare this with a 1.33x anamorphic lens with the camera in 16:9 AR.

[@georgedoyle8795]

Amazing work, keep em coming!

[@filmmakerslife5381]

This video just made me realize that gh5 with some good anamorphic and you can shoot a whole feature with no worries

[@JRESHOW]

This is GREAT!

[@allirogorilla]

Amazing look. If you added some vintage film grain maybe some dust or hair particle I'd swear it was a film shot in the 80's or 70's. That anamorphic look is just stunning

[@singamorphic]

Hey really loving this. This is definitely not the first time watching this, but I am really looking into buying a GH5! I have a question. At around 1:18, I see the flare vibrating. Is this because of the IBIS?

[@ichidomo]

Hey singamorphic, thank you so much. I've been following your instagram and love your content as well. The vibrating flare is because of the IBIS however when I shot this they didn't have IBIS calibrated yet for 2x anamorphic, they only added it later on with firmware updates and proper 2x stretch calibrated IBIS. Hope this helps.

[@marioa.saavedraviolante6088]

this is so fucking beautiful! Wonderful footage! So cinematic :)

[@paulherbig1653]

this is so beautiful! best gh5 footage!!

[@aandjo]

That is beautiful man

[@mathiasgeck-kameramanncolo8221]

This camera seems to be a little MONSTER. Just a technically totally serious tool - with a beautiful latitude and great color science as it seems. I'll do an extensive testshoot and grade but I'm pretty sure I won't be disappointed...

[@mathiasgeck-kameramanncolo8221]

Well, and: man, that's some awesome footage. Very well done!

[@KrzysztofPersona]

Great footage!

[@ichidomo]

+Obiektywny thank you!

[@biscuitsalive]

looks good! especially considering the low light on a M43. what anamorphic lens/set up did you use?

[@biscuitsalive]

strange horizontal flaring that is on the opposite side to the light source. normally its directly either side of the light source.

[@GO2CUT]

amazing footage, holy sh!t

[@superblacknoise]

Amazing! Bringing down the sharpness has made a whole lot of difference as I find it extremely distracting in most GH5 footage. What is the ISO setting? Did you denoise at all in post?

[@ichidomo]

No denoiser was used. I didn't go higher than 800 ISO to my surprise, a fair is pretty well lit, otherwise I would've overexposed the highlight background bokeh. -5 sharpness is recommended, looks more neutral, 0 still has digital sharpening to my eyes so with -5 you just turn it off.

[@MarkoLos]

This blew me away man. Probably my favourite gh5 anamorphic footage I have seen so far. Is this a single focusing system? Would love to see a pic of your setup and any additional info .. Was interested in the sharpening mod... I am currently looking for an anamorphic setup and this might just be it. Really great footage man./..Loved it : )

[@justafterdark1177]

Wow man, looks great!

[@ichidomo]

Justafterdark thank you!

[@timothyclark5900]

Beautiful. Very sharp combination! Have you used it on a 35mm lens? Is there vignetting?

[@ichidomo]

I tried with the sigma 18-35 at 35mm on the speedbooster. There's some vignetting, but with the lossless x1.4 ETC crop it doesn't. So it is possible but unpractical. Have tested it with other 35mm but those were unboosted. Will do some further testing with different taking lenses.

[@timothyclark5900]

Ok, thanks for the info. I look forward to more tests :) Another question, was this shot wide open at f2?

[@Augustus_Minott]

great job! simply amazing

[@SeanyVTV]

Superb, inspired me go to anamorphic with a similar set up. Quick question; did you have trouble putting the whole set up on the gimbal?

[@EddieQuest]

Great stuff, definitely subbed now. Keep it going! Question when you say DIY ADAPTER, are you referring to the CLAMP that holds together the TAKING lens and the Kowa Animorphic???

[@smoogles.5534]

man this would be great for a horror movie lol

[@fufu1405]

Absolutely beautiful. I always go back to watching this. Did you cut out the sides, because that doesn‘t look like a 2x stretch to me? The letterbox is way too subtle. I‘m just trying to figure that out because I thought the kowa 8z had a 2x stretch.

[@ichidomo]

I didn't cut the sides, in fact this is pure 4:3 desqueezed by a ratio if 2 resulting in a 2.66:1 ratio which is thinner than the 'official' 2.39:1 ratio.

[@alquimistadelaoscuridad]

did you use any kind of speedbooster? Im going to buy the gh5 plus the slr 35mm anamorphic lens, but I wanna know if there is really a necessity for sppedbooster. I mean, if you say no, then I feel that speedbooster can wait...sorry for saying speedbooster so much xD! thx and marvelous footage!.

[@ichidomo]

+RVA films Hey, if you are referring to the SLR Magic 35mm T2.4 2x Anamorphot-CINE Lens with m4/3 mount then a speedbooster wouldn't make any sense since you can't adapt m4/3 to a speedbooster. It's already an anamorphic prime.

[@alquimistadelaoscuridad]

thanks a lot for clarify!. Really pro and great vid!! cheers

[@bryansparks2670]

Amazing! Thats crazy

[@kevink3545]

Amazing use of lighting! if you dont mind me asking, what was the exposure value for the skin tone and iso setting on the gh5?

[@ThePrimeTech]

amazing ... just amazing ...

[@ichidomo]

+idted Thank you

[@ichidomo]

+idted Thank you

[@GuyPorteous]

great looking video. what focus settings did you use to keep it locked onto the girl as you were walking behind her?

[@ichidomo]

+Guy Porteous No focus settings were used. Everything is manual. You can't autofocus with this setup. Just keep track of the subject and guess the right distance.

[@PintlerMedia]

Great stuff, looked up the music.

[@stridentmusic1]

It's a master piece 😍

[@renatokarlochumpitaziflori7324]

Did you use to different lenses? or adapters? Or is it only the gh5 in anamorphic mode plus the metijones speed booster and the Nippon Kogaku auto-H 50mm f2? Can you explain that please. Greetings from Peru! Very nice video.

[@ichidomo]

+Renato Karlo Chumpitazi Florian This was shot with a 2x anamorphic adapter (kowa 8z) on top of the nikkor lens.

[@TheCreativeAnimation]

So clear and sharp, is that a projector lens? Or an adapter?

[@CostaKalogiros]

It’s the evidence that this combo is making the GH5 the best camera at this price range by far ! Which anamorphic did u use ? Looks like kowa? Bless you ❤️

[@ichidomo]

Thank you. I used the nikkor-h 50mm and the kowa 8z indeed. I currently have the s1h for over 1.5 years already but I still miss the ol gh5.

[@CostaKalogiros]

@@ichidomo thank you for your response ! And another question . Did u shoot internally or externally and if externally on Atomos for example , which codec did you use ? We are shooting a documentary next week and I am leaning towards DNX SQ as I’m grading in resolve and windows. Any advice / experience is very welcome ! Only thing I know is that in 6K when shooting externally, when you hit record you get a black screen .

[@rob7248]

WHY ON EARTH IS THERE NO INFO ON THIS, superb

[@stilmotionpicture]

Shm..

[@ichidomo]

Thank you Arudz. I updated the info box. Was in a rush when I uploaded it. ;)

[@dayboyy1]

Could this similar look be achieved with a sigma 18-35mm?? Also please upload a video on how you color graded this 😭

[@ichidomo]

+dayboyy1 The sigma will produce a very nice image but you can't mimic the 2x stretch FOV. You can however mimic the anamorphic vertical strechted bokeh by having an oval cut-out in front of your glass or at the back. But the anamorphic look of 2 focal lenghts in 1 shot can't be recreated with spherical glass in 16:9.

[@dayboyy1]

ichidomo ichidomo thank you for the reply! I wasn't necessarily looking for the 2 focal lengths in one shot, I just wanted to achieve the wide angle and cinematic look. Also thanks for putting the music in the description cause it's been on repeat for like 3 days now lol

[@EOSHDTV]

The barrel distortion in the background really adds to the 'pop'. Amazing footage. Could not see where you mention the anamorphic lens used and it's driving me nuts!!? Is this with the Iscomorphot 8/1.5x?

[@ichidomo]

Hi Andrew thank you for the compliment! I recently deleted all references to the scopes I used due to an insane amount of traffic and questions with a lot of misunderstanding regarding anamorphic shooting and all the caveats. Also had different resellers linking my footage trying to make a buck and selling these scopes for insane high prices. I'll send you a message on facebook. :)

[@EOSHDTV]

Yes please do :) I have quite a few anamorphic lenses so might already own the same one. I have a Kowa 8Z for example but as it's a dual-focus, it sat on the shelf a long time until the SLR Magic Rangefinder came out. Now, it's almost as good as an Iscorama. Without the variable diopter from SLR Magic on the front, it's useless :)

[@Mikhalevproduction]

@@ichidomo Hey man! Your footage is unreal... Can u just help me to find your set-up (or smth near to get the image u have)? Its insane sick!!!! Hope u`ll see my comment and write to my fb page: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002726425638 Dont stop shooting! Thx much!

[@maximedanielli6667]

Great shot. What is your you ISO please?

[@Kentiapalme]

Amazing work dude! How did you work out using the Gimbal and simultaneously dual-focussing?

[@MrPrayzeEdits]

your videos are the reason i haven't bought my camera yet, still deciding between gh5 or a6500. Right now I'm reading tferradans blog hopefully it will help. Also how are u dealing with the gh5 terrible auto focus ? I feel like I will rely on that a lot

[@TVBlackCloud]

Hey, any tips or go to tutorials on how to set up to shoot anamorphic? I'm clueless but want these results!

[@ichidomo]

BlackCloudTV I would suggest to read the anamorphic cookbook by Tito Ferradans.

[@FilmingDom]

you had really really nice atmosphere! Was it foggy at the fair?

[@Dr.Boctor]

Amazing! Did you use autofocus at all?

[@EduardoSaucedo11]

Stunning!

[@orkun_prv]

so you see it like this (desqueezed) on your viewfinder?

[@nonsensicon]

iso numbers pls? or u left it on auto maybe? do you remember your white balance settings? so great look.well done. like the sound as well.

[@ichidomo]

Most was around 800 ISO and some shots 1200, never use auto. The fairground was pretty well lit. Could have gone higher but then all the light would've been blown. Most people always look to 'look past the dark' and seem too obsessed with 'low light' I like to shoot the way my eyes see things.

[@coryradtke]

I can't locate the 4k 50p pal anamorphic mode. It is only available in 24p 8,10 bit.

[@MoneyMunday]

Did IBIS cause weird flexing of the footage? Was that minimized through the slow motion?

[@AlessandroBocci]

Beautiful video! Can I use some part of it for a music video I'm making? (all credits ti you of course)

[@ActionZ]

fantastic!

[@fufu1405]

Why am I having such a hard time finding out what actual adapter this is. It's the kowa 8z right?

[@ghostyTrickster]

Is there a crop on the current 4:3 mode for the GH5? Or is is 3328x2396 sampled from the whole sensor?

[@ichidomo]

+Nathan Johnson Afaik there's it's 3328x2396 from the sensor. We have to wait and see how the 6K 4:3 will perform which will use the whole sensor.

[@FunnFoto]

Dude you are killing me .. great work. Is this 4K 60fps or at the 120fps

[@ichidomo]

Thank you, 4k 50fps PAL only the very last shot was at 120fps.

[@hermanmern]

damn that is so good! all those lights reflection is so beautiful!! what iso did you use? aarrgh!! I want this!! great job man...

[@ichidomo]

+hermanmern Thanks mate! I used ISO settings between 800 and 1600 ISO, no post noise reduction used.

[@Grassiti]

Beautiful!!!

[@GENESISTVPRO]

brilliant

[@peterdanks6610]

What’s the widest taking lens you can use when using a speedbooster? I have a Sankor 16c but the widest I can go is 58mm. So I’m thinking of picking up a Kowa 8z. Cheers!

[@ichidomo]

Hi Peter, this was shot on a speedbooster with a 50mm, but keep in mind I didn't use any variable diopters in front. But the Kowa does go very wide. Also the Kowa 8z has identical optics found in the Kowa 16H, elmoscope II, Kowa B&H and Sankor Compact Cinemascope.

[@sybexstudio]

I have the same setup and images are looking distorted, your seems to be scaled properly. When you bring into NLE what are you doing to desqueeze.

[@travisjones7169]

If the GH5 had a little bit more DR it would be perfect!

[@hzubovi1]

Looks amazing! What program did you use to edit this. When I import 50p 4K anamorphic footage from GH5 into Premiere Pro CC V12 it has a magenta green cast on it in the preview screen, it doesn't show on export. ibb.co/fiUmjx ibb.co/k2vFcH

[@SasImage]

How did you manage to mount the 8z? Did you use stepuprings or just a railclamp and no direct (thread) connection between the two lenses?

[@Roflmao0001]

My friend! I am in the midst of an internal battle between an a7sii and the GH5, I am heavily leaning towards the Panisonic however. What are you thoughts on using this in low light? A lot of your videos are shot in relatively dark areas so obviously it does pretty well, but I would love to know your thoughts!

[@ichidomo]

+Joe O'Connor If you need to see in the dark aka 'nightvision' the sony will be better choice. The gh5 can deliver in dark scenes it's just not capable of 'nightvision', but neither are the higher end cine camera's like RED. It performs well in dark scenes as long as you know how to expose and know it's limits. So if you plan to film in dark caves with no light the sony will be better. In all other cases the gh5 outshines the sony in my opinion.

[@0IKakashiI0]

Did you had to crop edges? Metabones purpose in this case is just to bring more light and dof? Or you really like the nikon lens?

[@thenewwavestudio]

Nice! How did you pull focus when you are using the Gimbal? I just upload a video, all handheld, check it out if you have time and let me know what you think.

[@TradeMarkMusic23]

what exactly is being used here , the nippon 50 and what else ?

[@maciekkonarski4701]

Do you have any footage of this setup in daylight lighting?

[@PinkstonFilms]

you shot at 50p but what did you slow that down to? i'm about to add a GH5 to my arsenal along with the SLR Magic anamorphot 50 1.33x as I can also utilize it with my sony a6500 and it's lenses

[@ichidomo]

slowed down to 25 fps.

[@stoegex]

which scope was this?

[@joninator5000]

Did you use a single focus solution like the rectilux, rangefinder, or FM Lens?

[@ichidomo]

No single focus solution was used, just a simple fixed focus point.

[@tomblanc7981]

awesome!

[@williambachman6972]

Redo a setup like this when 6k comes out. please
