Sony A6300 A6500 Cinematic Video Test

[@ShotsWithMinh]

How did you find my video? if you wouldn't mind replying here on what lead you to my video, that would be helpful. thanks!

[@KhenCinema]

I found it by searching video samples of a6500. amazing work my Friend

[@BigTv8power]

I found your video by searching "sony a6300 video test." I'm looking for a camera to take pictures and videos. I wanted to see what others like or dislike about the a6300 and should I look for a different all-around camera. What is your opinion?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

v8power thanks for your reply. I bought the a6500 & 6300 because I take photos as well as video. it's small enough to use on a gimbal for a long time and also small enough to shoot a wedding without toting around 2 huge DSLR. it's fast autofocus if great for photos and video. video gives 120fps and 4k which are the highlight features for me. a6500 has in body stabilization which is helpful. I hope this helps you! any other questions feel free to ask and I'll give you my personal take

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Khen Solomon thank you for your reply

[@JustEofficial]

Shots With Minh Hi! your video was recommended. I shoot with a a6500. do you know of any good lenses for music videos? I've been doing some research but haven't found anything that I liked.

[@KisnouMusic]

Thanks for using and crediting my song! Lovely video, I'd be happy to see more from you with my music :)

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Kisnou Music Definitely! send me a list of your favorite songs! I'll choose one to shoot

[@gorillamidia6585]

Great work! Very nice takes and color grading!

[@royal3rabeats637]

Epic bro im digging the color grading and simplicity of your transitions between shits it really kept it smooth and won me over.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

thanks man

[@JarretRandall]

First shot totally caught me off guard. Not used to such high freaking quality on a review! Great work my man!!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Thanks!

[@billgates8920]

extremely nice weather to shoot

[@classicalphoenix]

Wow! This is absolutely breathtaking, love it: the slow mo, the grading, the aesthetic... Getting some inspiration for some of my own projects here!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Thanks! Link me when you get those projects uploaded

[@marciasworkshop]

Very much inspiration!!! Makes me want to bring my old Konica prime lenses out with my FS100!! Awesome job Minh!!

[@ninjabubbles575]

damn the color grading in this 💗

[@cuedotfilms4427]

Stunning. This video has made my mind up on this camera.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Richard Crooks it's a great camera. I think it's on sale right now as well $200 off

[@anthonyspencer766]

Could you perhaps do a video showing how you color correct/grade your footage. I am in love with the look you got here. Just fantastic.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Anthony Spencer definitely, done :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYfbeH6rrLd-mJY it's pretty easy with a LUT

[@TARAJOSU]

I found your video by typing in Sony A6500 cinematic video, and your thumbnail caught my eye!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Nice work! Really gorgeous cinematography. Never thought to use PP6. I'll have to give it a try!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Sidney Diongzon tag me when you do!

[@datflipmel]

Wow!! This is moving! Great music, great shots, amazing edit!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

thanks, i'm glad you like it :)

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Thank you!

[@davemattera]

I love the color grading! It looks like a high end video !

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Carlos Ascencio Ascencio thank you

[@mediumvideos]

Beautiful video! I felt silent atmosphere.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

medium videos thanks!

[@ReneLopez-qc2vx]

this is awesome. i'll picking up an A6500 this week. Can wait to put it to use

[@ShotsWithMinh]

nice! I love the a6500. what type of videos do you shoot?

[@ReneLopez-qc2vx]

I'll be doing some travel videos in the next couple of months. As a first lens for this camera, which one would you go with first...10-18mm or 18-105mm? Cheers

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Rene Lopez personally, the 18-105 looks too big and bulky for travel. I typically stay wide mostly for travel type videos anyhow but since they're both the same fstop lens, it seems to make sense to get the 18-105 for everyday use after the travels.

[@mdtourtravels5483]

Excellent Videography

[@DroneManiac]

Awesome work, the real deal. I just subscribed and liked. Get you closer to that 1000 mark.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Drone Maniac thanks!

[@tuts_reviews]

[@ShotsWithMinh]

TUTS & REVIEWS hi, thanks. I spoke with the artist

[@tuts_reviews]

I tried reaching out to him but no answer so far. Anyway, thanks for the fast reply. Best regards

[@viewfinderh2o133]

i liked it.can i download these original clips for color correction practice please...!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Viewfinder H2O sure, what's your email

[@carmen8685]

This is beautiful!

[@pal-haralduthus7410]

I am totally amazed by the wonderful mood and brilliant way of filming. If I may ask as I am new to filming...did you use any sort of gimbal here? I also was wondering how you did the focus pulling here...is it all manual focusing only done from the LCD screen? I love when filmmakers like you work with the focus as it makes it so much more entertaining. You are a wonderful inspiration for me and to want to start doing some films as I am a photographer with the newborn taste for film ;-) Cheers:-)

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Thank you. I used a zhiyun crane gimbal. I used autofocus on the a6500. I did use the touchscreen focus option but mostly I used autofocus. I purposefully put the focus on something else and then point to the subject in order to get the focus to switch. I hope that helps

[@Smile71717]

Nice work! But which scenes were filmed with 6300 and which with 6500? Is there any significant difference between video recorded with those two cameras? I see a lot of music videos on KZbin filmed with 6300 and not so many with 6500 and I can't get rid of an impression that 6300's videos look more cinematic...

[@ShotsWithMinh]

trueTrueTrueman hi, the a6300 and a6500 are practically the same. They have the same video quality. The major difference is the 6500 has built-in image stabilization. The 6500 has touch screen and slightly different button configuration but nothing that affects image quality. You probably see more 6300 videos because it is more affordable than the 6500.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Most of these shots are on the 6500. The close up macro shot was 6300

[@kopan14]

great colour

[@ShotsWithMinh]

KoPan thank you

[@lukasfilmt197]

Wow! This is Intense Great Work. Did you use luts ore Color grading? Sorry for bad englisch

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Lukas Filmt thanks, I used a lut as a starting point. There is a link in the description to a video of me showing you how I color graded this video

[@supermotopirates]

Amazing video. Great edit

[@ShotsWithMinh]

supermoto pirates thanks man

[@waynegarcia4821]

nice video! what LUT did you used on your footages?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Wayne Garcia I'm using Deluts Armchair

[@gphiproductions]

Wow! Really nicely done! Very good shots and very good editing! Great job!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

G-Phi Productions thanks a lot

[@davidsimon8510]

Great Work Bro...........Questions Did Your Sony Find Any Overheating Problems

[@ShotsWithMinh]

David Simon since the updates on the a6300, I haven't had it overheat under regular conditions. I had it overheat once at a wedding (1 hr wedding ceremony at 2pm in 90° weather trying to record for an hour straight - it overheated about 35 or so minutes in). Other than that, nothing. My a6500 I never had a problem with other than that same wedding.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

David Simon that's recording in 4k. When I saw the overheat signal, I just switched over to 1080 and that did the trick.

[@khaibernate]

You just earned a subscription. Beautiful shots! Question, did you shoot these all in 4k and exported in 1080p? I just got the A6300 recently and I am torn if I should shoot a mixture of 4k (for beautiful sharp image) and 1080p at 60 and 120fps (for nice slow-mo) and just export everything 1080p at the end? Let me know your thoughts with your previous work?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Khai Le hi, thanks! yes when I shoot at 24fps I shot in 4k, and then slow motion at 120fps and export everything in 1080. This is what I do pretty much every time. I shoot at 60fps when I am in low light and need slow mo

[@khaibernate]

Thanks Minh! Do you put it the mix of 4k and 1080p raw footage on a 1080 timeline? Sorry for the many questions but you're the only person that replied right away! (vs other forums)

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Khai Le I'm happy to help any time. I put it on a 1080 sequence and then just scale the 4k to 50% so it fits. The benefit from that is you can also zoom in and out with the 4k footage without losing resolution

[@khaibernate]

Thank you again! Saw some of your other videos, great work indeed. Keep up the awesome work!

[@powerfulsyrian]

perfection

[@ShotsWithMinh]

powerfulsyrian thanks

[@divinelifefilms1974]

love the location. only thing I would criticize is that in some of the shots, her eyes are like half in and half cut off which just looks a little weird/distracting to me.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Divine Light Films I agree, definitely something I'm more conscious of now. Thanks for the feedback

[@jinwonkwak7056]

phenomenal

[@rxy9793]

Nice video and amazing shots you took! - Rayden your student P.S what editing software you use?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Raycitoden hi rayden! I used Adobe premiere

[@danielfuu387]

this looks epic!

[@amanisaking]

Awesome work dude. You gotta tell us how to colorgrade like that. Btw Subbed.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Aman K will do! thanks!

[@guinto7609]

bro this is soo dope, I love moodiness of this. So I have a question, how many batteries do you have with your sony? How long does the battery last with continuous 120 fps and 4k?? Is it different switching from a 6d full frame to this? Im just wanting some more slow mo, and the canon 6d doesnt cut it unless i use magic lantern but the work flow is too intense for me.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Guinto hi, thanks. I own 10 batteries for 2 Sony's (a6500 & a6300). I bought 10 batteries because I shoot weddings so I end up using most of the batteries. I can't officially give you the answer to how long it will shoot continuously since I've never officially tested that. I will say that the batteries don't last as long as any other cameras though. Also if you're shooting continuously (literally nonstop 30 minutes clips back to back) the camera may heat up and need a rest (-con of these cameras) my best guess of how long they'll last on continuous 4k/120fps shooting is about an hour. I've never shot on a 6d but the reason I bought the a6500 is for the compactness (for flying on gimbal) the 120fps!, 4k, and autofocus. I came from Canon (crop sensor though) and love these Sony's way more.

[@marcoleon2420]

Awesome takes 👌🏻. Love your color-grading. I was wondering, what lens did you use on the first part of the video?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Thanks! I did video showing how I got this look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYfbeH6rrLd-mJY Lens I used is Sony 35mm 1.8

[@SimonVisuals]

[@kwa42]

[@ShotsWithMinh]

U S E R I used a zhiyun crane to stabilize

[@ShareefSaadi]

You did really well job in this video, really loved the footage and great choice of music ` which lens used in the close up shots ? subbed `

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Ismail Ahres this is for 1080 export

[@IsmailAhres]

[@MateoPortillo]

Love the bokeh off that lens

[@musicant5891]

I seems or I was see the rolling shutter effects. Have the 6500 the rolling shutter?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Yes the camera does have rolling shutter. I think all mirrorless currently have rolling shutter

[@2loyal373]

[@ThereGoesSpider]

Nicely! Done! Sir!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

[@beniyov]

Nice Clip 💪🏻 I am also thinking to buy the sony a6300

[@ShotsWithMinh]

David BenBen which systems are you deciding between?

[@beniyov]

well atm i am just a photographer using my Canon 6D and rarely shoot videos with it and my gopro. I want to buy in summer this year the Canon 5D mk4 and some new lenses and a new mac. And if i will have enough money left i maybe will buy the Sony a6300. maybe this year, maybe i have to wait till next year or maybe longer :D

[@ShotsWithMinh]

awesome, link me when you get some work up!

[@jetbakchannel]

Very good👍👍👍cinematic

Darius Matijošaitis thank you!

[@dubshelb]

Is it possible for you to tell me which lenses you used for specific shots?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

here's how I achieved the moody cinematic look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYfbeH6rrLd-mJY

[@LandonCramer]

Nice! Did you use Christian mate grab's LUT?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Landon Cramer Cinematography I used a lut called armchair from delut. it's free to download check them out

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Landon Cramer Cinematography checked out your videos btw, good stuff

[@LandonCramer]

Thank you bro! I subbed you

[@mynameistim3701]

incredible footages, I'm thinking about buying the a 6300... is it worth?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

mynameistim I think it's an excellent camera with all the features I need. if you can afford it, get the a6500 though, in body image stabilization is a life saver. the alternative is a6300 with gimbal to get smooth shots

[@mynameistim3701]

Shots With Minh yeah thats right, but I'm a student... no money.... hahaa but I'll gonna buy the a6300 and film with my steadycam, I already got :) thanks for answer men!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

that works!

[@OfficialJamesGardner]

So sick man

[@ShotsWithMinh]

James Gardner thanks

[@edventures9884]

Amazing!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

EdVentures thank you

[@Larpeggio]

Incredible quality! Did you shoot any of this in 4k and downscale to 1080p??

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Fints Poon thank you, the slow motion shots are 1080, the regular speed shots are 4k downscaled to 1080

[@Larpeggio]

Thanks for that, this video has really made me consider the a6500. what sony glass did you use?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Fints Poon its a great camera, Sony 35mm 1.8 and 16mm 2.8

[@Larpeggio]

hey i wanted to ask, did you shoot this in auto focus? Is the AF good enough to just track the face, has the a6500 made manual focus almost redundant?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Fints Poon I used autofocus on every shot except the macro ones. it's pretty great, especially on a gimbal. it's not 100 percent reliable but I use it alot. I'd still do manual focus if I'm not on a gimbal though. also your autofocus also depends on the lens you have on there. some lens aren't as great. the best one I own is the 35mm 1.8 for autofocus for video

[@SNOWYALPSFILMS]

This is Sick man 😍

[@ydetroja]

very well done..

[@ShotsWithMinh]

[@williamcarlson2066]

Looks great!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Wicked Flame Films thanks

[@RICHARDGERMANE]

Hey what lens are using for this, awesome video btw

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Richard Germane thanks, I mainly used a Sony 35mm 1.8 on a gimbal, Sony 16mm 2.8, a vivitar 55mm 2.8 for Canon FD mount, and a rokinon 50mm 1.2.

[@RICHARDGERMANE]

Thank You, So you you switched it up I think I'm gonna get the body then get the Rokinon 50 mm 1.2.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Richard Germane yah I changed up the lens. that's a sweet lens, make sure you get an nd filter for it though 1.2 let's in a lot of light

[@melaimwunderland5672]

Amazing Video 🙌

[@ade.harendra]

nice vid! but much scene that the head out of frame or cut with letterbox. give some space above head.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Ade Oktafian Harendra I shot/edited those that way to make it a little mysterious, to go with the song. Thanks for the feedback

[@PeterPengKrogh]

How did you get the macro shots of the eyes?

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Peter Peng Krogh I used a vintage macro lens (vivitar 55 f2.8) on a monopod to stabilize

[@nicokargel]

Great Video!!!

[@kashoutcris9487]

Damn this was amazing...

[@lukeskywalkertheauror]

Love this!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Nate Keeney thanks!

[@5gzfilms132]

this is great! what iso range? subbed!!!!!

[@ShotsWithMinh]

5GzFilms I don't remember but I did keep it low. For most shots I underexposed about 2 clicks

[@mortenskov1802]

Is everything shot in 1080? Can't figure out if I should shoot everything 25 fps in 4k or not.

[@ShotsWithMinh]

Morten Skov all the show motion footage is shot in 1080 at 120fps and the first in 24fps is 4k. I typically will shoot both, some times shoot the same scene in both so I can have a variety in post
