I am always drawn in by your videos, but this one takes the cake. Usually people complain about using vlog 60fps 4:2:0 8 bit but you just showed how beautiful that footage can look. There are a few you tubers that are good, but right now, you have taught me more in 6 min than what others have been trying to teach for years. Amazed right now!

Dwayne, you truly humbled me with your super kind comment. I'm really happy you learned something from this video.

While I was struggling with choosing the "perfect" camera from A7III, Z6, etc, just happened to see this video. My goodness! I realized what I need is not a new camera but very basic knowledge of filming. Subscribed!

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thank you so much Mia, those are very wise words you just said! We need to arm ourselves with knowledge before arming ourselves with Cameras

[@mia.l5675]

​@@THEDPJOURNEY Thank you so much for the reply. I understand that cameras and lenses are just tools such as pencils and brushes for painters. As a beginner, before buying the tools, I do surfing, watch youtube getting more info about cameras and lens, try to find out the one may be really suitable for me. But, I am always curious about how the proffesionals film makers like you buying the cameras and lenses... Have you tried them out before hand? Do you read/watch the test reports? What is main point you picked GH5 over the more expensive S1H, etc?

Great work. Glad KZbin's algorithm pointed me to your stuff. One question... Describe your reason for using the Black ProMist filter.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thank you so much Jon, very happy to have you onboard The reason why I used BPM is to give this cinematic diffusion you usually see in hollywood films. It's an artistic addition. I use a very subtle 1/8th which is barely noticeable but it gives a bit of nice look.

So awesome man, this is amazing. Did you end up with any trouble from noise? Or because you were protecting the shadows you didn't have noise? I tend to get some artifacts/noise when I use Vlog, even when it's very well lit, some colors (like dark blue) I struggle with

[@General111100]

what aperture you used? the focus is so good.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Was mostly 2.8... but manual focusing all the way

[@DavidHorizonFilms]

Hey man, love the quality of your videos. Just quick question: you shooting 4k 60p 8bit 4:2:0 in v-log? don't you get a lot of banding using these settings??

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

I honestly avoid shooting soft gradients to avoid such problems. As you can see all my shoots are on the gritty or details oriented, rather than on the minimalist style. So maybe there was banding, but it's almost impossible to see in my style of shooting. Hope that helps

[@DavidHorizonFilms]

What do you mean with avoid shooting soft gradients? can you really control that?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

I mean your subject wouldnt have a gradient, like a sky or similar. Where this would risk showing banding. But again it's a limitation in all displays in all cases which are still 8bit standard.

[@giansjam5907]

Hey man. great video! Are you exposing with a grey card?

[@florianbusch94]

Is the 75 IRE rule only suitable for exposing V-Log or a good rule of exposing in general?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Yes that's for V-Log profile only

[@marcbachli5607]

Awesome video full of great info! Having shot much film and digital in my career, I'm curious about the choice to shoot 30fps and not a more (subjective comment) "film like" look of 23.98? You will get slightly better compression at 23.98 since there is less data overhead at this frame rate. But seriously that is the best looking GH5 video I have seen, and great video with all the post to live demos.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Hey Marc... actually this choice is to confirm it to 24, this way it offers a rather slower than reality feel yet not slow mo... I'm actually working on an episode now to talk about it in details

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

When you are filming on the GH5 (or any camera) how can you tell what your IRE is while you are shooting? I do shoot with Histogram on, but not sure if that correlates to IRE, like if the graphs are squished off to either side.

[@kilianfragu7380]

Awesome content, you clearly know your craft and your videos talk for yourself ! I was wondering about the light setup (ring scene and car scene especially), will you do a behind the scenes for this? It's, in my opinion, the most interesting and the key point of the look you succeeded to achieve in this video. Could you share the exact gear list used? Just keep the good work, bell button activated ;)

[@howardtownsend2574]

Are you able to share you thoughts on side stepping the Sigma lens and using instead a LUMIX G LEICA DG VARIO-SUMMILUX 10-25mm, F1.7 ASPH. Lens?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Hey Garfield... the 10-25 looks like a great lens. But the focal length you get from the 18-35 is preferred for my type of shooting. 10-25 is too wide. Also it’s a lot more expensive if you’re on a budget.

i got the gh5s + 18-35mm sigma and its not looking close to your shots -.-

[@SkorpoTv]

Great video lad , i appreciate the detailed info here , my question is how would i apply the dynamic range logic if i were using a Atomos Ninja V shooting with 4:22 chroma subsampling without shooting in Vlog

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

The dynamic range is based on V-log. Each other color profile would have a lower DR. And each would need a special workflow.

[@SkorpoTv]

@@THEDPJOURNEY ahh i see that makes lots of sense , so it's pretty much the closest thing to RAW for the GH5 , so my next question is does the Atomos make the bit depth 12 bit or at least give the benefits of 12 bit 4:2:2?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

No, 422 is 10 bit by default. It can’t be 12 bit

[@SkorpoTv]

@@THEDPJOURNEY oh ok i just researched the differences thanks for the correction , my last question is "What is the industry standard pipeline process?" Production , Post production ,Editing , Coloring , Vfx, compositing , sound design? What exactly is the correct order?

I got Question regarding Metabones Xl adapter, Mine fits a bit flimsy to camera (Gh5), does your Metabones XL do that as well? If so how do you solve that flimsy fit? I mean its not a snug fit, it has a play of maybe 0,5mm. I just want lock it in position without having to use several custom brackets. Interested to hear your thoughts

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Yeah it’s not a perfect snug fit here either. But manageable. Haven’t really tried to fix it. So I guess you gotta google it

[@Krmelj]

Hey, curious how you ended up shooting with 30fps and not at 24fps?

I'm actually working on an episode about that. But the short answer is to slow things down without making them look in slow mo

What made you choose 30fps? I think it looked awesome just wondering why that over 24fps. This video was awesome and made me think about the other things I need to work on in my office for our video shoots.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Hey Jason, I shot at 30 but confirmed to 24. So when we played the song during th erecording he was lipsong on a sped up version. It gives this nice look that's not slow mo, and not to normal you know.

What does dat information mean? 3:26 ?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Chroma subsample is the compression of the color information. 444 is the max 422 comes next then 420 is the last

[@lucaslife2293]

@@THEDPJOURNEY (before anithing thank you for answer) so 4:4:4 mean the biggest compresion? So it have less information than 4:2:0? (Pd: amazing video quality of that camera, im stuning right now)

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

@@lucaslife2293 no 444 is the least compression, which is the best quality you can get. 420 is the highest compression, so less color information. Thanks again

Been waiting for this Sherif..Check out my color grading on recent 1 minute workout motivation video I just posted today:) Let me know what you think..

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

thanks again for the support. Just left you a comment on that video... looks great

[@EverythingFilmmaking]

@@THEDPJOURNEY Thanks..just saw it..Can you elaborate on the consistency? do you mean sticking to all one look/mood with the color?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Yeah exactly... maybe you can transition from cool to warm tones vs switching between them. Especially that it’s all happening in the same place you know. Like if it’s happening in 2 different locations then maybe the outdoor is warm and indoor is cool. But if all happening in the same spot, then maybe the change of color is to show progress. To give meaning to that color change rather than a simple personal choice.
