[@alexjcorona2605]

Compositions, sound design, colour grading, music, editing pace, styling and your subjects. Everything in harmony. Felt like watching a narrative piece at times.

[@SanchayitaDas]

This is SO beautiful! Please make a tutorial on this amazing colour grading!

[@juanpalmadias]

Absolutely amazing job! While watching this piece I couldn't help notice how we (photographers, videographers) often stay behind during these trips in order to shoot. We're never in the frame, it's like we're just spectators as life unfolds in front of us.

[@metascopefilm]

YES! YES! YES! A thousand times YES! This is what the x-h2s is supposed to be doing! I love it! ♥️

[@kinokoven]

Thank you!!

[@itsthefratz]

Absolutely incredible work! Refreshing and inspiring filmmaking here on KZbin! Well done

[@vilmossagi]

This is GOLD! Definately my favorite color grade of Xh2s footage so far on YT...wow, this makes me very happy! Thank you so much.

[@kinokoven]

Wow, thanks!

[@vilmossagi]

@@kinokoven could you tell me the rec settings? h265 422, or Prores?

[@jasontaycs7195]

Beautiful compositions, sound design, and colour grading. Absolutely loved it. I think you just cured my GAS for full frame. I gotta try the X-H2S out.

[@magichour7102]

The most Cinematic short film I've ever seen!!!

[@kinokoven]

I should hope not! But that's very kind of you, thanks

[@magichour7102]

@@kinokoven Every frame has cinematic image quality! Can you introduce the filming formats and color grading methods that you use?

[@magichour7102]

@@kinokoven I have seen your response about filming formats, thank you. It's an impressive work and worth studying in depth.

[@KruzRivera]

I feel inspired. Love this. Beautiful grading and great pacing on the edit.

[@braxtonhaugen]

Such a wonderful piece of work here. Haven't seen something with this kind of feel on KZbin. A true feather in your cap.

[@gustavevilleneuvedehoff-un5459]

One absolutely lovely film. Truly enjoyed watching.

[@Prens1]

I was born and raised in Turkey and I still live here. I can definitely say that our filmmakers cannot create pictures as good as this, neither in films nor in TV series. You composed not only the images but also the sounds very well.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

beautiful color grading. couldn’t stop admiring it the whole video.

[@BTMovieSecondChannel]

I got really excited when I saw the thumbnail. You managed to get an amazing film look! Really well-done.

[@eldricarpilleda]

okay the editing, composition and color grading is perfect. but damn the sound design here is really underrated!

[@BadlonMondo]

Amazing film-grain effect, exceptional views!.... Ultra-rare beautiful lady, which can easily stole your heart ...

[@jhvisual5393]

ahh! absolutely love the slowness!...and those colors! 🥵

[@stephenpena7813]

gorgeous!! Reminds me of old 70s film movies in the best ways!

[@Malek-m7w]

this is the craziest film emulation i've ever seen

[@foksly]

Wow, this is amazing. I have been recommended a plenty of h2s videos but this one is the only I left a comment. Thanks a lot!

[@CineDailies]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@mucahitokurfilms]

Hello my friend from Turkey. You showed the Cappadocia theme in the best way, congratulations. Fujifilm XH2s reflects its quality well. KAM 🐺🇹🇷

Your footage is pleasing to the eye and your pacing is very calming. Well done.

[@RajaSandhu]

And here I was still debating between the A7IV or XH2S… Fuji for the win. Absolutely stunning cinematic depiction here. You really captured movie magic in every way. 🫡

[@jeremyleetaylor]

Wow! This was so well done; the color, the sound, the composition, and the exposure was perfect. One of the best videos on here!

[@ethbell]

sooo lovely! the colours are great.

[@AustinSchargorodski]

Wow dude, this is a masterpiece. A brautiful counterpoint to the fast paced editing thats becoming so common on social media. So glad this got recommended to me. I also shoot with the X-H2s - what an amazing piece of kit this is.

[@lupegaming1567]

this looks stunningly beautiful!!! Is there anyway you can upload a color grade/shooting tutorial? I have an XT4 which cant really achieve this but curious to know how much I can get out of it. Thanks for uploading!

[@zeko9319]

Wow! is this coming from apsc 🤯🤯 mind blown, amazing work 👏 ❤ + the sigma 18-50mm is 100% a hidden gem 💎 😍

[@kinokoven]

Thanks! Sure why not? :) 99%+ of the movies you enjoy come from similarly sized sensors or super 35 film.

[@RetoBuri]

my goodness, these colors are fantastic. well done!

absolutely stunning work! woww

It's absolutely vibe of the movie "Call Me By Your Name". You are purely genius .

I think this is the video that will push me to finally get the X-H2s.

These colours always tempt me to move to Fuji 😍

Very nice image quality this camera has, well filmed also

[@TheGlassEyeTV]

Beautiful. Really enjoyed this.

[@deadman8816]

beautifull work!!!!!

[@ghostgums]

I rarely comment on KZbin but had to here. Absolutely fantastic work. Is it just me or is APSC much more suitable for this kind of work? Everyone thinks that ultra shallow depth of field is cinematic, when to my eye, very deep depth of field with great dynamic range is more so. Would rather have slightly deeper depth of field with the same light gathering and smaller gear.

[@kinokoven]

Thanks so much! I don't know about aspc being better, but I think sensor size should be a low priority when picking cameras.

[@owenhenley]

I was literally saying the same thing not long ago after switching to full frame. Sometimes, you need to be wide open, but then as a self shooter, 1 - it hard to focus manually (my preference), and 2 - it's just soooo shallow. And thats just not what I like, and have been leaning back to s35/aps-c again.

[@Satysatonachair]

wow this is beautiful....

[@fourweekfilms522]

This is absolutely phenomenal

[@brandonrude]

Beautiful stuff. Your compositions are fantastic, well done.

Liked the coloring, editing and all the shots, way you approach to a travel video. Great story telling. Thumbs all the way up. (Not the best time to visit Cappadocia though 🙂) 👍✌

[@闪梦七]

This is the most beautiful video I have ever seen on youtube, so peaceful, so beautiful,. Where is the cave in the video? What is painted on it?😃

[@闪梦七]

I watched it many times and yes I love this video so much😄

[@kinokoven]

@@闪梦七 thank you so much! this is all in Cappadocia - there are hundreds of churches carved into the mountains, and the ending is showing religious byzantine frescos that were painted in them in the 9th/10th century.

[@DylanFilm]

That’s incredible ❤

[@justcallmebones]

Beautiful color grade here. I am in love with this look! Would you ever consider selling some luts? Also, I'm just curious of your process. Is the grain here from the camera itself or did you add this afterwards? Did you use anything like dehancer? The colors and the highlights look great!

[@blaykjord6171]

yeah id kil for this color

[@kraftpunk6654]

He used Filmbox for film emulation. Pretty pricey.

[@seatonmeade5282]

Wow!!!

[@_philip.c_]

Nice work, a long format video that's not easy to do.

[@kinokoven]

thanks Philip! I didn't intend to make this public on KZbin, so that's why it's so long 😅. very flattering that some people are interested

[@-YSLIN]

sigma 18-50？very nice！

[@vassiliyeung]

awesome

[@saintsrown]

Hello again! I got the Fuji X-H2s because of this movie. I keep coming back over and over again and congratulations because what you did is simply beautiful! I'd like to ask a few questions about the post production process if that's ok? How was the workflow and which applications did you use for the film emulation? Was it Dehancer, Film Convert... How you converted the footage from f-log (if used) to REC-709, was it in Davinci? If so, how was the node assembly line?

[@KevinZamora]

Wow, you took it to another level, congratulations 💛 Beauty footage and color work. Did you use Fringer pro, Metabones or is it Sigma XF mount? Thanks 🌺

[@kinokoven]

Thanks :) XF mount

[@benedictwfilms]

What did you use for recording sound here? It sounds so clear and rich - I don't know if that's a mix of sound design in post. But aside from the absolute gorgeous cinematography & colour here - the sound truly shines & gives this such realism & professional quality.

[@kinokoven]

hi, thank you! it's a mix of sound added in post and the on camera mic

[@JannisBierschenk]

very nice!

[@ErrickJackson]

Every now and then, I stumble upon a ray of sunshine on this site. Beautiful film and I'm definitely subscribing. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but this feels like a Filmbox emulation, yes?

[@kinokoven]

You got it, Errick! Thanks :)

[@Dylan_Farrugia]

Amazing capture and edit! May i ask - have you used a gimbal?

[@Ryan-Payne]

Stunning! How much did you interact with 'I'm assuming your family'? Did you simply capture what they were already doing or did you sometimes instruct them to take a drink, look out of a window or not to look at the camera and wave? I know if I did this my family wouldn't be able to resist looking right down the barrel for every shot >.>

[@kinokoven]

Thanks! All of the above. Sometimes I asked them to do something specific or reenact something I saw them doing, but mostly I just captured whatever was happening. Less than 10% of the material from this trip is in this video - if you're constantly filming someone, they'll start acting naturally eventually. And it's natural for them to acknowledge or look at the camera occasionally, so I don't mind that either.

[@kinokoven]

@mipmipmipmipmip it was a great trip! incredible area and history. this is all handheld with nothing except the camera body, lens and camera strap. and the sound got no attention while recording, but then some sound was replaced in post.

[@thelensmount]

@@kinokoven Any special technique / method of holding the camera with strap that makes your footage less shaky? (amazing film, keep creating)

[@kim_chihoon2]

Crazy...

[@momentospararelajarse]

Wow nice shots What do you used for color grading?

[@zerocore_]

beautifully shot, edited and graded. I still can't believe this is a relatively "cheap" consumer-grade camera. I've worked with high end cinema camera's that barley perform better. the (almost) lack of rolling shutter especially makes a difference.

[@kinokoven]

thanks! I agree, it blows my mind that this camera can fit in my backpack AND shoot video that I can edit on a laptop that fits in the bag as well.

[@prodocik]

awesome. can you share lut and info about sound recording?

[@jtaylorbr]

Such lovely work :) Do you remember which film profile you used, or do you have any go to preference on the X-H2s?

[@DawoodMurad]

this is one of most amazing films iv seen out of the fuji system. id really appreciate if you could make a color grading tutorial. did you shoot in flog2 or the film simulations built in? thanks i subbed

[@Heyy.its.C]

Same question 🙋🏾‍♂️

[@thomasmook]

This is fantastic. Unfortunately don't have the XH2s but hope my XH2 does a good job regardless. What kind of post did you apply here? Flog & color correction? What kind of softening? Great job!
