Images of Madrid and Toledo | LUMIX S5 IIX

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Beautiful imagery. I'm loving the S5iix. The music was perfect.

[@brandonrude]

Thanks, i originally was looking for like flamenco or something it couldn’t find anything that felt right.

[@danieli.9252]

I watched a video of yours earlier today (Hawaii with the S5), and I saw you were at exactly 999 subscribers. So I clicked "Subscribe" -- congrats on reaching 1K!

[@brandonrude]

Oh wow thanks! Really appreciate that.

[@MarioCastillion]

Delightful video: I love the mood, the music, the overall image, the beautiful lady....all in all a great way of showing what this S5IIx is capable of.

[@brandonrude]

Thanks Mario!

[@Andrasturiexplore]

the colors and scenes just grate! so beautiful work.

[@brandonrude]

Thank you so much!

[@TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss]

Awesome video!!

[@brandonrude]

Thanks!

[@PhillipRPeck]

Love it. Spain is amazing. Wonderful compositions and light.

[@brandonrude]

Thank you so much. And yeah, Spain is a beautiful place. This was our second trip there and first time to Madrid.

[@LindaWisdomphotography]

Your intros, always make me forget I'm not actually watching the start of some kind of independent film!! 😄🎥

[@brandonrude]

That’s quite a compliment, thank you!

[@joanacasanovafilms]

Lovely images of my country, I love your style :)

[@brandonrude]

Thank you very much! It’s a beautiful place.

[@LA_RPB]

This is crazy bro. Not too much grading matches with comfy jazzy background music. Love it.

[@brandonrude]

Thanks! Finding the right music for this one was tricky but I was happy with how it came together

[@wanderway23]

Always my favorite youtuber ❤ The S5 IIX is 🔥

[@brandonrude]

Thanks man, really appreciate that. And yeah this camera is pretty great.

[@jonashuckphoto]

Man I love this! Vibey and nice music choice.

[@brandonrude]

Thanks! Happy to hear about the music, I originally intended to use like flamenco or guitar music but nothing seemed to feel right. These two had the right vibes and their titles were just icing on the cake lol.

[@TheDIYFilmmaker]

Great job Brandon!

[@brandonrude]

Thank you!

[@jayclas4023]

My goodness! I have a S1 and I’m sure it can look like this😍

[@brandonrude]

Thanks! Where the S1 really has the advantage is with that OLPF, which I really wish this had. There were a couple rooftop shots where the moire was really present.

[@charlestcrepps]

Nice dude. Coloring is really well done. Coloring with the Lumix S5 has always been difficult but the end result can be amazing.

[@brandonrude]

Agreed! I think the high data rate prores options have helped a lot. Feel like I'm getting it dialed in finally.

[@wellenformTV]

This vid illustrates the dynamic range of the Lumix. Bright sun and shadows in the same szene. Looks good. Although you would have the same results with Long GOP in 4:2:2 10 bit, you do not need ProRes. You do not win a single stop of dynamic range or anything else. Only tons of data. Try it. But good to know that the T5 can handle 1,9 Gbps. Thank you for sharing. 👌

[@brandonrude]

Oh man, if only we got more dynamic range that would really be quite a feature. Reason I tend to shoot in higher codecs is that when we’re out and about there’s usually a fair amount of motion in the frame. That and, even though it is a crushing amount of data, I find that extra information can help in the grade. Is it overkill? Definitely.

[@haulfilms]

I like the warm colors, its as if I could feel the heat through this video lol.

[@brandonrude]

Glad that came through. I almost included a shot of me checking my phone as it showed 103F but it didn’t work with the vibe of the video

[@Dexxter_slav]

Love the vibe. What do you think of the 35mm 1.8?

[@brandonrude]

It pretty much lives on my camera. It has some interesting bokeh at certain focus distances when shooting wide open that give it some character. It focuses super fast too. Very happy with it.

[@Dexxter_slav]

@@brandonrude Currently in the market for a 35mm. Might give it a go! Thank you for the reply :)

[@PLPOR]

I'm really enjoying your shorts. How do you like this camera compared to your BMPCC 4K? Do you feel like there's a difference in the "motion cadence"? I feel that it's part of the je ne sais quoi that makes the BMPCC look "cinematic"

[@brandonrude]

Thanks Loren! I love the S5 and have become spoiled by the IBIS and some of the other features. That said there is just something special about the image of the P4K. I think largely it’s the 12-bit color that makes it seem almost more filmic.

[@Ngojohnny_dp]

Loved all of this, hey for the BRAW and Black Magic View Assist did you find the delay in the monitor to be annoying to deal with? Or did you disable internal audio for less latency!?

[@brandonrude]

Thanks! The latency can be a little annoying but I’ve found it manageable overall. I haven’t tried disabling the audio yet. Will give that a try!

[@Ngojohnny_dp]

@@brandonrude oh awesome thanks! I’ve been trying to find alternate ways of recording audio externally tbh and I haven’t come up with a semi affordable way to sync up besides time code haha

[@brandonrude]

@@Ngojohnny_dp oh yeah that’s the challenge isn’t it. Syncing is the worst lol

[@Ngojohnny_dp]

@@brandonrude yeah I’ve just been doing waveform sync which works great with onboard and external but I can’t find the way to do it without having internal

[@aman681]

Beautiful! I've recently added a S5ii to my BMPCC 4ks. This is first video that I've watched where the image quality is on par with the BM cameras. Great job! How did you grade it..LUTs? Also, can you record on SD cards as a back up while recording on a SSD or BM assist?

[@brandonrude]

Thanks! Unfortunately you can’t record internally and to the VA at the same time, at least not in BRAW. I think you can record DNXR proxies to the VA while recording internally, but if you have “RAW OVER HDMI” enabled it disables internal recording.

[@aman681]

@@brandonrude Thanks for your reply mate. How do you find it compared to Bmpcc 4k?

[@brandonrude]

@@aman681 it’s a really nice companion and tbh I find myself a little spoiled now by the autofocus and ibis. I prefer the filmic image of the P4K to the S5 but the S5+VA is so nice. I’m about to head off on a new adventure and I’m bringing both so we’ll see how well they cut together in the end. Also forgot to reply previously that I graded with the FilmUnlimited powergrades.

[@aman681]

@@brandonrude Looking forward to the comparison. Cheers!

[@MrMolotov69]

How do you find the ProRes 422 image in comparison to the long gop? Is there a noticeable jump in quality not just editing performance?

[@brandonrude]

I definitely prefer the ProRes image. Seems like there’s a little more color information and better contrast curve. Also I feel like it handles stronger color grade better.

[@MrMolotov69]

@@brandonrude and between 422 and 422HQ, is there much difference?

[@brandonrude]

@@MrMolotov69 it looks different straight out of camera, I think the ProRes is a little more contrasty. That said I don’t know that there’s a ton of difference, both are great and the ProRes is overkill for day to day situations.

[@eYACTION]

It is very nice and peaceful

[@brandonrude]

It was indeed, a very nice change from the hectic pace of NYC.

[@financial_age]

did you shoot in V-log? did you use any luts?

[@brandonrude]

I did, yes. My standard approach is to shoot v-log and then I use the FilmUnlimited powergrades for color grading

[@leonardovideomakeroficial]

It's so beautiful . Muito lindo.

[@brandonrude]

Valeu!

[@HakimZziwaTips]

So in short, you are better off shooting raw externally? or is about the higher data rates the more information you have with colors and dynamic range. Stuff looks good man.

[@brandonrude]

Thanks man. And yeah I prefer it because it gives more color information and flexibility in post. So it’s my preferred setup but it’s not always practical in that I don’t always want to use an external monitor when out walking around and exploring.

[@warrendupuyphotosvideos8540]

Do you reckon one could shoot a good indie narrative feature film with the pro res open gate and the Lumix set of primes (18,24,25,50,85)? All on SSD + Potentially a stiffen 1/8?

[@brandonrude]

I should think so. I’d maybe shoot a 4K codec to get the increased color sampling over the resolution but it all depends on the project needs and look. It’s a highly capable and agile setup so what you save vs even renting a high end rig could go to locations, production design, etc and that all makes a huge difference in the film quality.

[@warrendupuyphotosvideos8540]

@@brandonrude yes i reckon 4K with highest pro res in 24p. But actually maybe using higher grade manual lenses could really take the images to the next level.

[@brandonrude]

@@warrendupuyphotosvideos8540 agreed. I’ve been thinking about renting some for a while now. Need to make it happen.

[@roastme2079]

@@brandonrude can you please educate me about the 4k sampling? what does that mean exactly?I have the GH6 and S5ii with the codec upgrade and was thinking of shooting in the 5.8k on both cameras fro best quality at 24fps. This is for a feature narrative type documentary

[@brandonrude]

@@roastme2079 essentially it’s a method of compression wherein color information is reduced in favor of luminance data. For the most part this doesn’t matter for movies as the difference isn’t visible but for some cases I think it does. Real talk 4:2:0 is plenty but I personally always take the higher color info wherever possible

[@SarveshPonnusamy-p7e]

your opinion on the video quality of Lumix s5IIX

[@brandonrude]

I think it’s great and tough to beat. I do still prefer the filmic, organic look of Blackmagic cameras overall, but the S5IIX isn’t far behind.

[@dp_live]

What's leanz do you have?

[@brandonrude]

I have the LUMIX S 35MM and 50MM f1.8

[@astrolog_nik]

Which exactly freewell filter did you used?

[@brandonrude]

I have the 1-5 stop and the 6-9 stop. I have the basic ones, not the magnetic kit.

[@astrolog_nik]

@@brandonrude thank you

[@astrolog_nik]

@@brandonrude do I need some kind of adapter to connect BPM and Freewelll?

[@brandonrude]

@@astrolog_nik I wouldn’t think so, as long as your filters are the same size. Most filters are threaded on the front to allow for additional filters to be screwed on. I usually screw the BPM directly onto the lens, and then screw the VND onto the BPM.

[@monsieursucreooo6970]

Great! Wish lens is it?

[@brandonrude]

Almost everything was shot on the LUMIX 35MM f1.8 and a couple shots were on the 50MM

[@uncleanAlibertine1]

How do u like new panny when taking a pictures? I read online that isn’t so intuitive. Can you say a word of two of af in photo? Thnx

[@brandonrude]

I like it a lot. It's not the fastest but I don't really shoot any kind of action scenes. I also don't use a lot of the photo features, I keep things basic. I usually shoot in AE mode, keep WB set at 5600k, and shoot in RAW. It requires more work in post but enjoy it.

[@Nemastic]

S pro lenses and pro res raw would take this from video to motion pictures.

[@brandonrude]

Those would be nice for sure! Been thinking about investing in some proper cine lenses but can't decide which to go for. I actually had my Blackmagic Video Assist with me on this trip so I could have shot RAW more but I didn't really use it as we were out walking around.

[@Wimana868]
