I Filmed a $65,000,000 Property Commercial with a OnePlus Open

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Guys, give some props to Lou! He's such a good guy and we had a blast doing this video. I actually liked his video and thought he did a terrific job-- I just think had he chosen a wide lens he would have set himself up for success-- other than that he did a great job. Also, want to let you know, phone videos are not my shtick, so i appreciate you guys supporting the channel still. The phone is dope though, I've been a long time Banana fan, and this was my first time using an Android. A few footnotes about the phone and my experience that didn't make the video. You can't see the screen fold, it's kinda wild for someone who has not messed with a fold before. With both screens open at 2800nit filming all day, the battery lasted about 6-7 hours. It was honestly longer than I expected, but when you have 3 screens, naturally it draws a lot of battery life than normal phones. The 2800 is a ridiculous in brightness, thats about triple what my current outdoor monitor has at 800nit, not sure why they went with it, possibly for HDR viewing.... Most of this video was shot on the smaller 1/2 inch 14mm camera , the one that they don't want me to film with because its a smaller 5 year old sensor. I set myself up for that, had I chosen any other form of video contest other than real-estate I would have showcased the main camera more, which is very nice, and has great low light ability. But I had to shoot as wide as possible and in the end, turns out pixel quality not as important as showcasing the property in a fun and thoughtful way.

“No offense, but the video featuring you and your son was the highlight for me. The father-son bond was truly heartwarming. Please keep sharing such moments-they grow up so fast, and if you blink, you might miss it.”

[@Triflixfilms]

The Ronin is so good that even shooting at the wrong exposure, destroying the grade in post, and used by an inexperienced operator produces passable results for 95% of clients. I love our Ronin so much!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

For realz. He recovered all those hilights with prores raw. But truth be told, my editor had batch exported his raw clips for me to choose a few from for the BTS, and he did so not knowing it had applied the rec709 LUT on there. So those clips were not actually as over exposed in the end, it's just I did not have the prores raw files to work off of, rather the clipped rec709 copy. But still, he did over expose and I was amazed he was able to recover what he did.

[@Triflixfilms]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Thats wild, even more respect on the post side! That explains the noise then. Let us know if you ever need a second Ronin 4D for a shoot, we are based out of Indiana and would love to connect.

[@wenjun_n]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL But some of the noise levels in Lou's shots are quite strong...

Loved the house video section but as a dad myself, the ending with your son made the video for me. Great video as usual!

Awesome! Thank you!

Banger as always Josh- thank you for putting out these high quality videos for us ❤

Yeah. Hands down. Pro. And you still put in those shots for the heart, happy dad. Relatable.

My favorite part of the video is when your showing your son your work. I do that all the time with my kids. Lets just say sometimes the love the videos and other times they ask to watch blippi. Cheers sir.

[@peteranders6893]

This was once again better than watching Netflix. This channel should have 43M subscribers to be honest, probably will, too. As far as the video goes, the microjitters devalue the work, but that's why you don't actually try to film commercial real estate videos of mansions like that on a phone.

[@SebastianMerca]

Hey ;) Having MotionCam credited means a lot for our community so thank you for that. If you are closer to OnePlus team, maybe you can sneak them a kind question to open the tele lens for third-party apps like MotionCam. In a future video we will share how you can maximize the noise ratio in RAW and and how to create seamless day to night transitions like Brasov video from @motioncam (start and end) Thanks

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Dude I was so disappointed that it did not work for the Telle.....The rest of the footage cleaned up so well.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

I cna try, I have no direct affiliation with them, other than they watched the video.

Man OnePlus's marketing with the Open has been top of the line great and I am loving what I see.

[@blakecallahan3837]

Hi Josh, longtime viewer, we’re colleagues in the real estate photography business, I shoot luxury / builders in Jacksonville FL. I just had to comment how much I love your videos as they are so personal to me. I check my Segway to make sure that it doesn’t leave a mark. I remember you saying, years ago, that no matter the house you’re always gonna be moving in trash cans. So true. I love all the real estate specific details. All the best and glad to see you are still shooting those properties out in LA. Appreciate everything you make.

[@MotionCam]

Amazing video! Thanks!

[@rayparisi1441]

Wow- I can’t believe how strong both videos looked. But have to say that phone crushed it and the seamless fold is insane… when the drone shot came up in video I was calling BS … and then when u went to raw u proved me wrong and I realizes i should have never doubted Yeo ! And the tiny King Arthur is always the best ending 👑❤

[@WillKoz]

Been following you since your first few videos, love to see you still killing it out here brother!

[@bigdhav]

That bit with your son was just the best. ❤

[@davidalanmedia]

You totally rocked this shoot! The shot going down the staircase was epic!

[@Anggelos876]

I'm blown away by your vision and creativity Josh! Great job, your style and artistic abilities shined through! Even though the other guy had nice color and more dynamic range on his side-you have pizzazze and style!

[@goliathonscave9834]

Why did the Inspire crash?? BTW, loved the color grading on the OnePlus!

[@marcgambardella5681]

Great video, sir! At first, I thought your Inspire 3 went into the drink as well, and I yelped out! Glad it survived, or I would be thinking that Lou shouldn't be in the same vicinity as your drone ever again! 😄

[@emilioossa163]

As new dad! I took the Christmas photos today of my baby ❤️oooh god! I cried! And the phone managed to perform amazing!

[@AuthenTech]

Fun comparison! And gorgeous shots all around

Is the phone still functioning normally atter the pool dunk, if you still have it? That was well above what the certification covers 😅

[@AJapaneseDream]

Awesome to see new stuff from you. Incredible as always and that end result was fire! Super creative angles and transitions. Giving me major inspiration.

Damn Josh! Very fun, captivating clip and kind of high paced, but that ending really slowed everything down and showed so much emotion. Probably because I´m in the same stage in life it hits harder. Really good! :)

Your kid is charming. Thanks for the family insights, nice touch

[@damienlobb85]

I wish all ads were this enjoyable. What are your thoughts on the multi-tasking? The multi-workspaces look pretty interesting

[@Dubstark]

You can deffinitely tell the phone video can't compete on the resolution and detail, the video is definitelt carried by creative descicions. The shot of the stove at 11:07 is that a internal stabilisation artifact or is that post stabilisation being a little janky, and the shot at 11:24 seems a little too zoomed in and slanted that would have been the main giveaways in a blind test for me. BTW dit the whole drone fall into the pool or did the phone fall off the drone?

[@4paapii]

The hole video is an ad. They are lying constantly.

[@benharveyphotography]

Loved the technique of using the spiral handrail as a slider, very nice. Great video Josh.

F@@king incredible video. A work of art. Heartwarming.

[@RahulSonaCouple]

Loved your video shoot, that was really awesome, i do have oneplus open phone, could you suggest which gimbal u used for the phone? Thanks😊

[@RyanPutranto]

Honestly I think both videos work. Maybe the phone video could be for socials to draw attention and be sort of a promo video, but the DJI video is more the tour type video. I know tour type videos tend to be more longer and slower and it's more intended as a promo video but the way these videos were edited, the DJI one shows things at a slower pace which is good to get a sense of how the real estate feels - the phone video is a cool edit that doesn't give as much "living" feel I think but gives a good overall sense of things with good shots and a captivating edit.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Yeah exactly. Plus we both only had 45 seconds, so to encompass enough of a 20,000 sqft property in such a short time, you almost have to go the social route. I did like Lous videos, his compositions were excellent, just needed a wider lens and fix that color.

[@shoop4040]

This was a great and fun video to watch. The house was beautiful, but it gave off a feeling of being too large and cold for a family that wants to NOT spend time together. I have been a subscriber since your very early days, starting with your Fly Over video. It has been a rewarding journey, though not without its challenges. I hope you continue to have the time of your life..

Was thinking the same thing I heard Linus from linus tech tips mention that oneplus for previous devices have done full waterproofing but didn't get the certification seems like they might have done the same with the open :)

[@Rafaelinux]

Saturation +400%

[@imatleast12]

Gotta be honest though the phone’s sensor isn’t very good, lots of moire, either not focused or too sharp.

[@peteranders6893]

and microjitters, too. That's all true, but Josh still nailed the individual shots and the editing, pace, angles, etc. are all fantastic and showcase the advantages of a small camera as well as the place being filmed. Hard to pull off without being gimmicky.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

I think for posting on socials, its very hard to notice, but on full screen all cell phone footage sorta shines thru. We're very close with the sensor size upgrades and post upscaling and all, but its very hard to trick the trained eye when they know how to look for it i think. Still for a shot or two in a documentary, or youtube video, etc.... its more than enough.

[@peteranders6893]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL You are absolutely right. What a time to be alive in for photo and video creation world. Sorry for the massive reply. There is really no need to read it. All I am saying is just thanks for showing us over and over again that creativity and skill will always best the gear used. I really need that from time to time. Looking at all the gear and coming up with niche solutions for stuff I would never need is taking up too much of my time. ;-) This video just goes to show once again that the tools have practically gapped the users. And every year we get more intra-camera magic and now the resolution is massive for phones as well. So now phone sensors are growing and billions go into software tricks. Eventually we will have 1 inch sensors in phones that surpass todays quality of even high resolution full frame sensors. I can't see how that won't eventually happen. I personally stopped worrying about picture quality with the 1DXM2. After the first few shoots with one I thought to myself, there is no way I would need anything better for anything I can think of doing. I am not printing stuff on vans or houses and frankly can't tell the difference between a 1DXM2 and an A7IV or even A7RV even on a 32 inch 4k display, which literally none of the people looking at the final images tend to use. It requires pixel peeping to see a difference and I must have looked at and edited hundreds of thousands of images. I doubt users can even reliably say which camera was what at 200% zoom. Granted something like the new Fuji medium format is different. I can tell the difference with that, but it isn't great enough to worry about. I'd sooner invest that money into computer hardware, storage and supporting gear than another camera for sure. In my opinion for most productions eventually skill, lighting and workflow is what makes a much bigger impact than the tools of the trade. And there is so much stuff like LED-lights, softboxes, flashes and lately drones and what not to lug around to get great photos and videos, why add even more for just a small incremental improvement? I am saying all that just to say that after spending hours comparing R5C, C70, FX3, FX6, Red Komodo, the amazing DJI camera and all kinds of others I am currently actually looking at the ZV-E1 for real estate. I am starting to realize there just isn't a point to go beyond that, unless higher end clients insists on it and pay accordingly. And even then, there is still a rent market. For me personally the advantages of a small system like that are obvious. There will be no need for focus pulling. There will be no need for big rigs that take time to lug around and handle, because the in-body stabilization with the crop function probably leads to more usable shots than a much more complicated and weighty system would. So I would simply need more time and have more trouble with a better camera. Sure, the DJI chicken camera is absolutely incredible, but there is nobody on set with me that needs a feed, there are no multi-cam setups to integrate, no need for timecode or about 90% of the other things that can be realized with it. I don't even need more than one lens to get me 95% there with a screw on ND to be completely honest. The sensor is still one of the best, especially when there aren't square miles of full length glass windows lining the property. At the end of the day a simple ZV-E1 with a Tilta cage, their fan thing, a top handle and maybe a smaller stabilizer should be easy enough to get 90% of the shots one would need for even higher end clients. For real estate I can have 4 extra batteries in the pocket, if I need them. And from there every little step up adds so much weight and so many accessories and then 2 years down the line Sony or Canon drop the next better sensor in a super small camera and give it all the features and all those accessories become things you need to find a customer for on ebay. And this video just goes to show that the time needed to obsess over every little detail to get an even better image could much better be spend on perfecting the actual shots. Every single time I watch one of these videos it just goes to show the creativity and knowledge makes way more difference. I would not even realize it, if the channel switched to a Burano as the main camera or a Komodo or an A7IV. In fact I am 90% sure that I wouldn't be able to tell if it was all shot on the ZV-E1 and in 7-8 years I am sure we will be 95% of the way of being able to shoot professional content on a phone. I'm always going to be interested in the technology though. I obsess over all the gear and wish I were flying a top of the line Burano around on massive octacopter as a day job, but it's just not logical to even try to achieve that kind quality, neither is asking yourself what the next step down from there is and how to make that work. I am sure if I spent half the time needed to work out how to get the ideal image quality at the best price point which is half way affordable to me on composition, I'd already be far better than I am. And the real question I arrive at after watching John's content is, do I want to be the proud owner of a garage full of stuff that was the best for a niche use case for 6 months at a time then, or should I spend my time becoming actually good at the craft instead without worrying about gear? I mean I am watching, because apparently both is possible, if you are amazing enough for it, but it's probably the latter. More shooting, less fiddling, googling and solving small problems to get that one shot I'll never need or else I'll be the one that has birds flying backwards in their showcase, I guess. Not that there is anything wrong with that artistic choice. And now I am off to buy a new Oneplus...of course.

[@llll9080]

It's very good sensor ofc the ronin is the goddess but this type of performance in smartphone's camera is insane

[@ykl_media]

Must be nice filming silky smooth one wheel shots with all 10 fingers. Plus, that drone was clearly enraged and out of control and had probably become sentient moments before it kamakaze'd itself under your car. Jonny FPV himself could wrangle that thing.

[@wesleykongvisualz]

Good stuff but I feel Lou was at a serious disadvantage without having at least a little more knowledge of the 4D camera. It's one thing to compare experience to a novice but to add a learning curve to a complex camera while trying to figure out shots and settings was added unfairness. Your videos are mostly good tho. Thx for sharing.

Great job guys, very entertaining. I've been looking into the R4D for high end real estate shoots, but was wondering if the 17-28 isn't wide enough for real estate (at 17mm?) what lens should Lou have used?

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

He should have used a 12mm. Laowa 12mm f2.8 for Sony E-mount is what i recommend. Or a Sony 14mm will work too, but 12mm is the sweet spot. Makes properties look big, and for these big homes, they all have vaulted ceilings and super tall doors, no way to film all that on 17mm.
