Tutorial on Cinematography - How To Test Your Camera's Limitations

[@JayGrapherTh]

very happy to find this channel with such great information given straight forward, really dislike how everything needs to be a vlog here and vlog there. just straight to the point.

[@ActiumFilms]

Your videos are great, but I've been wondering why you upload them in such low quality?

[@kinetek2881]

I get asked this a lot. Many of these films are comprised of material from workshops that I conduct for students, cinematographer’s, TV stations, and production houses. Some of the materials end up in other films, in other workshops and even on the syllabus of some film schools. Many groups contact me and ask me for permission to show them and often I will send the high-resolution film. When uploading to KZbin I often use a low-resolution version as a way to protect the IP. Hope this does not bother you too much, and I hope the content outweighs the low quality.

+KINETEK For me it works! You really know how to get your point across and to be precise. So far I've never had the problem of you trying to show something be me not being able to see it in the image. Thanks for making these videos!

[@michel-zimmer]

*and me not ...

[@Andresvideo]

The content surely outweughts the low quality, thank you for sharing all these techniques and tricks, your videos are very informative and mind-opening!

[@tonsfocus]

Have to agree - I went to switch to 1080 and saw that the resolution threshold was 480! Is this fear of having people steal your material? What a shame, as it's impossible to see "quality differences" when the video examples are basically all "low quality." Thanks for your work nonetheless.

[@aybee5908]

Would be helpful to know in which format, bit-depth and solution you shot your footage (MP-4, Quick-time, RAW, Pro-Res).

[@Amitn94]

Thank you for all your videos! I learn so much from them! Hope you keep uploading more of these!

[@aZeddPrattFilm]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're the man!

[@econsproduction2866]

Wow! A very detailed and well explain strength of each type of camera; a mirrorless dslr , blackmagic camera to canon dslr...

[@maximoremedios]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@climbnonstop]

Very useful, thank you!

[@JuiceBlack]

Thanks another great video 👍🏽

[@rubikhimaduna4372]

What about the lenses that you have used in this comparison? Did you actually use the same lens on all cameras to give us a better insight about the quality of the footage or there were used different lenses?

[@benjaminpaulides6264]

Did you shoot raw on the blackmagic? And did you shoot 8 bit 4:2:0 on the Gh4, or did you output 10 bit 4:2:0 to an external recorder?

[@JohnyTFK2]

What settings did you use on GH4? Did you try v-log and Full HD 200Mbit/s?

[@kunalmanusmare2107]

And did you record externally in prores?

[@videocasetteTV]

Your work is awesome, why you do not create online workshops, I am sure many people will buy it

[@Rye042]

Great video, you should put the reason for low quality of the videos you upload on the description and also on the about section. Still great video.

[@fareastmanilavideoproducti4499]

What was you iso on the blackmagic during 5 stops under? my experience with my pocket cinema cam was i shot in lowlight at 1600 then i adjusted th brightness,contrats. i got good results but the blacks is grainy

[@MichaelWeizenfeld]

Which format was used on blackmagic? I owned it earlier, and in all formats it was completely truncated shadows with lots of noise near them. Even if I underexpose it on 1 stop, the shadow area of faces was grainy. Very strange results you've got...

[@AlexDerrick_DP]

BMPC4k's real native ISO is 400 not 800. If you shoot at 400 you'll be safe. otherwise the signal is amplified on the hardware end and you have to force it back down otherwise the noise will kill a lot of shots.

[@MrKristersz]

What about the a7s2 with the atomos shogun in s-log? I think it would do better than the ones in this video.

[@ntalento1]

Wich codecs have you tried? Is the gh4 1080p all intra better than 4k in the chroma test?

[@CyrilViXP]

Not representative test, you must operate with numbers, imho. Format, codec, color space, subsampling, diaphragm, focal length, shutter speed etc.

[@SirRelith]

i wish your videos were at least 720p.

[@strobelightproductions5175]

BMCC FTW!!

How To Test Your Camera's Limitations BlackMagic: what's a limitation?

[@rafaelmendezgarcia2817]

Does anyone has some lectures to do about all of cinematography? I just start to watch videos on this Chanel and they are amazing but I don't quite follow everything. Sorry for the English by the way, isn't my mother tongue.

[@DarienDrakee]

"I shoot a lot of high end materials" uploads video in 480p

[@fareastmanilavideoproducti4499]

Blackmagic wins! thats why i dont use dslr nowadays for video
