Good looking on the tips. Honestly I was just going to cop something beginner and dikk around with the software, but looking at the videos testing the camera...yeah.... I rather cop something that'll have a long time investment.

From the looks of it, it's just 1080p which is good for me since I'm just starting out.

Well damn. Some of those pics remind me of the movie "Chungking Express", when it comes down to some of the effects in those pics.

Don't wanna be that guy, but you won't get this kind of quality for a long time based on the fact you asked. The reason the videos "hop off the screen" as you say is
cause of lighting(most important) and color grading in the editing. The difference between a professional video and an amateur one is 90% of the time due to lighting
and angles. It takes experience or emulating what they do, cause a lot of low-end cameras can do what these videos show you. Its 100% technique. Just get the
best camera you can afford that has a video-centric lineage (Panasonic m4/3 cameras and Canon rigs come to mind) and make videos with the editing software
you feel most comfortable with.

The Key Wayne video has a lack of light in the background so that you focus primarily on the foreground, which includes him and his equipment. The second video,
not including the shots in places outside of his studio, has at least two light sources, with one pointing down onto him and the desk, and one pointing directly at him
with vignetting at the end to give a cleaner focus on him. Bottom line, long as it isn't a point and shoot from 2005, you can even get decent video from Cell phones.
Its all about technique.

In the videos I posted can you tell me the FPS used ? Is it 60 ?

you cant just look at a video a know what the FPS is breh.

in general for smooth vid 24fps and if you doing slow motion shots 60 or 120

For the most cinematic look, shoot in 24fps. Cameras also have the best quality when you shoot at the lowest fps.

When shooting video, always keep this rule in mind.

• Your shutter speed should be double what your fps is (so if your shooting in 24fps, set the shutter speed to at least 1/48 or 1/50)

Same goes for 60fps, you'd want to be at 1/120 or higher.

For the videos you shared, they shot various scenes at different fps. That's how you have smooth slow motion in the Key Wane video, the stuff they wanted in slow motion was shot at 60fps, but the regular footage was shot in 24fps. They rendered the video in 24fps, I know this because there's no 60fps option to view the video in. It looks like it was shot at 35mm (if you have a crop APS-C sensor that would be 24mm) as well, which is the standard focal length for shooting films.

Ok, and i take it the GH5 or the G85 doesnt come with 35mm lens

 

[ItWasWritten]

last stupid question for the brehs



When i use the 35mm does it automatically give me those cinematic black bars on the top and bottom? I like that... I like that alot

and also, why do i need a dedicated 35mm lens when the lens that comes with the kit can do 12-60mm

Thanks
