- FILMING a professional commercial with the SONY A7IV
this is the first commercial I have filmed with the sony a7iv and boy it did a great job. I did have a few troubles but that was mainly due to my planning. the 4k 50fps with the crop caught me off guard and forced me to shoot on another day.
Overheating is an issue a lot of people are getting but I still haven't gotten this issue yet. Have you?
Overall I am very happy with the performance in this particular shoot with the Sony A7IV. The best features were the focus mapping, autofocus tracking, focus breathing compensation for the GMaster lenses and the APS-C crop mode in full frame 4k.

So thankful there are actual professional videographers making videos about their gear instead of the mass amounts of people that only make camera reviews with their gear. Oh yeah I got my A7IV a couple of days ago! Getting myself intimate with all the settings before I head out.
Thank you for the kind words man. Happy new year!
I don't think Sony a7 IV is mostly used by professional videographers. So probably most would take benefit from the videos that you complained about...
@ Actually movie and TV videographers would be less likely to use it but the A7III was extremely popular among professional wedding, event, and stock videographers. Most of the TH-camrs I'm referring to will be making a new video of another camera or drone offered to them by manufacturers before even a week passes by.
@@JayWandersOut I get you and yes, I can understand it. But still, I just think every opinion matters to someone if not another... Appreciation doesn't need comparison. That was my feeling :)
😂😂
It is nice to see an actual professional reviewing the A7iv in real world use instead of a talking head reviewer! Great video Jason!
Thank you bill! Appreciate it
While I came here for the a7iv content, seeing your BTS and the way you work on the production was deadset inspiring, mad respect dude 💪🏼
Thank you sssooo much for your videos about your new A7IV. Just got mine but am new to this. YOU are making me feel more and more comfortable about my A7IV commitment.
Great work. Refreshing to see a video showing a professional appreciating their gear. The A7iv is an awesome camera when playing to it's strengths.
nice to see a real world usage of the camera and the compensation for the minor crop issue. can't say any professional I know would drop a camera just because you need to change lens for for 50/60frames mode but reading the youtube comments you could end up thinking there are no professionals in the community LOL 😂
What helps my understanding tremendously is following a professional's workflow using the "tool of choice" - this is what sets you apart from the many content providers that simply run through menu settings and/or regurgitate company product marketing material. Thanks for allowing me to benefit from your real-world education regarding the "What", "Why", and "How."
Uploaded a year ago and still helping folks starting out. That’s respect ✊🏼 this guy is cool and says what it is, throw him a like people!!
Great Job Jason, this was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Subbed
Amazing insight and breakdown! Been watching your videos from time to time, but I think it's time I sub! Keep up with the great work and would love to learn from your experience.
Thanks for the video. Always enjoy the breakdowns, and enjoy you sharing your experience.
Thank you for watching
Great video mate. I love this format and keen to watch some more of this in the future. Happy new year to you and your beautiful family.
Thank you! Good to see ya back in the comments. Happy new year.
Thanks for sahirng this Jason ! really appreciated !! I just received my A7IV yesterday and cant waith to test it !
Amazing! Have fun with it
Glad someone made a video about how it performs on a professional shoot instead of nonsensical b-roll youtubers, i was thinking on getting it cause it was amazing on paper, now that i see this video, i'm all set. Obviously subscribed
Yes, that's exactly what I like to do videos on too. Take the gears out into the real world and work with it in real situations. Then, come back and report about the experience and what could've been done better after some reflection. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.
Yes please! More post projekt reflectional breakdowns. Thank you :)
Man amazed at how well this worked! Shows far technology has come in small cameras now!
Yeah bro, I still prefer the fx6 just for work flow but damn surprised the a7iv kept up
love the content and how you deliver information. cheers
Thank you
That was fun and super useful. Thanks so much!
Great, breakdown is amazing.
ThAnks for the video! Soo nice to know the A7iv is capable in a professional shoot! Hopefully one day I can be on your level hehe. Thanks again for all your content
Thanks for watching
Thank you for making this content!
Really do love these behind-the-scenes explanations into how and why you use the gear in any given situation. Like you know it's not always about the gear but how you use it. Really great stuff.
Saving up to get my own sony a7iv coming from a Canon 70D, but im still shooting and pushing myself to use what I have to get good at the work flow.
Thank you. Absolutely true. Always master the gear you have. You will love the upgrade for sure
Very informative Jason. Thank you!
Looking to move back into professional video production, and seriously considering the a7iv as my starter camera. Thanks so much for the info! PS some of those rigs you use look amazing.
Wow this was so good!
Excellent content here 🙌🏽💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’m still rockin x2 a7Riii’s and an a6600 as I’m equally a hybrid shooter and need high res photos + high end video features. I would have absolutely upgraded all 3 cams to the a7iv if they unlocked the crop and also a few minor things. My Riii’s also crop in 4K, which I’ve adapted to, but would be nice to not have that. This new cam and tech does give me great hope for what’s next in the line up for sure. You’ve got a new sub here! Cheers! 🙌🏽💯📷
Congrats on that job.. you know you'r stuff Jason
This was very helpful thank you!
Brilliant! Happy new year!
Thank you! Happy new year
Loving the breakdowns dude
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching
Absolutely loved this video, I wish you get a lot of commercial work.
Thank you
just upgraded from the a7iii and love it. taking out for a spin in japan in 4 days !
Hi Jason!
I wish you only successes in the new year!💪
Thank you my bro! Happy New year
Good to hear what a working pro thinks of it in actual use! Thanks.
what software do you use for story design artwork. that you show in the video?
Thanks for sharing
Amazing review, I just got my a7iv and did my first vlog with it, LOVED IT! But love seeing what this camera is capable of! I don't have a rig on mine but my arms were a little sore the next day 😂
Hahaha yeah gets sore after a while
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I started lifting some hand weights when I pre-ordered this camera to prep myself lol
very good and we appreciate to watch backstage of real work but we appreciate also some final result of the real work and it is rarely shown by other video creators and you show us part of the final result and I appreciate it. The 767 thumb up is mine and I subscribed to your Chanel.
Really awesome video Jason. I just purchased the a74 to keep my a7s3 company, also selling my a7c. I’m an amateur video creator enthusiast only, so it was cool seeing your behind the camera perspective of this video. More of this type of video PLEASE.
Do you find much difference between a7c and a74?
@@A12Diary definitely lots of differences between the a7iv and the a7c. I will say though that the a7c was for me an awesome full frame camera. I just wanted a little more capability that the a7iv provided.
Just found your channel mate great stuff 👊🏼
LOVE the paper diffusion lol
Nice return, thanks Jason, could you make a video to your easy-rig and other stuff like this ?
Have never been able to subscribe. Those biceps always break my soul and remind me of all my failed gym resolutions!
Just kidding. Long time subscriber here and thanks as always for the fresh balanced content. Happy new year.
Hahahaha love it. Happy new year
Great video! More of that. I really like you studio background 💪
What program are you using to create storyboards like that? I have it all in my head for my commercials, because drawing takes way too much time.
I of course plan in writing and with notes, but that is not easy to bring on a shoot
Better 2022! 🙏🏾
I absolutely love the Viltrox 24mm. I took it over the GM because of it's quality/price/no focus breathing.
You are not wrong. Man it’s so good for the price!
Top video mate, would like to see more of these. Very interesting to see how the A7iv performs in a professional video environment! That hotel did look a bit bland to work with hey! Where’s the colour 🪴
Great video - can you share any more info about what you use to power the camera? I was looking at an external battery but didn't really know what to go for
Great video bro!! I’m on the fence between the A7IV and the A7SIii
Nice rig setup
Great Video Jason! question, what's the shot list / cinematic blocking software you use to prep your shots at 7:21?
what model is it easy rig?
Great video Jason
Thank you for watching
Thanks bro :) Happy New Year.
Thanks my bro! Happy new year
Appreciate the review, agree on the crop.. in studio work, if the DP or director wants a 35mm 4K, they get 35mm 4K. No excuses on the crop. They'll just tell you to throw the camera away and get another camera.
When it comes to motion pictures, 35mm wasn't the same as 35mm in still photography. For a long time the cinema standard was Super 35, which has a crop factor similar to APS-C (1.5). That has started to changed with the advent of full-frame cinematography.
Make a video about the requirements you use for you set such as lens
Lights type
Would be helpful for beginners like me on a low budget but
I already own a sony a7iv
Thanks for the review! Awesome work! Shout out form Brazil. Let me ask you..what cage are you using with sony a7iv? Tks!!!
Nice. I’ve been thinking about getting a a7iv to replace my a7iii as a B cam but that crop really has me on edge 😭. It looks amazing though and would pair with my a7siii seamlessly. Do you have a link to the dummy battery ?
are you experiencing issues when you hit play back with the Directors monitor the screen on the back of the monitor goes black? it doesnt do this when you're recording only on playback?
dude those biceps! :D
Excellent video Jason. What's that monopod you're using on 6:31?
Jason, great videos man! I just picked up a a7 IV so I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with it. Extremely helpful! What is the cage you’re using on the iv in this video? The Tilta for the iv isn’t released yet here in the US. Is there a cage for another camera like the a7siii that is compatible with the iv? Thanks again for the outstanding content! Keep up the good work! -Gary
Hey Gary, check out my A7IV video on the full cinema rig set up I have. It will explain everything there in detail
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema thanks man. Will do!
Hey Jason great video as always.
Question: what is the Ninja V mounting arm you are using on the cage? I assumed it was Tilta but can’t seem to find it online?
Thanks and keep up the great content.
It’s by nitze. If you watch my a7iv cage video you can see everything I use
Hello, the atomos records in 422 10bit? i dont see it on the atomos site. sorry for my english, i'm french.
Nice one mate! Would love to learn more about your rig for the a7 IV. Looks like a beast 👊🏻
I have an a7iv rig video if you would like to watch that
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Perfect, cheers!
Hello. Thank you for your feedback. Do you have a link with the actual model of the external battery for the camera? Thank you
Thanks Jason, I appreciate the review. I just received 2 A7iv to replace my micro four thirds setup. Having done a ton of videography with corporate interviews and more recently added a huge architectural photography component, I am really looking forward to exploring the hybrid photo/video aspects of this camera. I am glad to hear the IBIS worked well for you, since I shoot mostly handheld, that was my biggest issue leaving the Panasonic system. Were all the lens you used without OSS? You were just relying on the cameras IBIS, right? You still found it usable without post stabilization?
Absolutely useful. Clearly depending on your technique and steady holding skills though haha
Please give an Update of your experience. I started with mft from Panasonic and then Switched to A7siii. After the launch of the gh6 and I of course had all the mft lenses lying around I gave it a try.
Now I am back at mft with gh6 since it works so much better for me than the a7siii. It is a more "professional" Camera I would say. I have no experience with the a7iv until now and watch a lot of reviews but I don't think I will change. So I would be curious about your Update. Side note: I am mostly filming weddings.
If possible can you please make a Sony A 7 4 rig setup?
Do you enable Active or regular IBIS stabilization? If Active, does it have even more crop, like in the a7siii?
At 0:51 for a millisecond I thought you were going to say it performed poorly against fx6 😀. Glad to know that it was upto the mark.
Hehe 💁💁 suspense
I just found this channel but do you have the whole rig as a video or is it one of the things in the description
Thanks for your experience with the A7IV on this commercial Jason. I was wondering what would be the advantages/disadvantages if you were to do the same shoot with no rig at all. Would you be able to achieve the same result and how much more difficult it would be. Thanks.
No rig would mean no external video for directors monitor. Would need a monitor Mount. Potential for changing batteries more often. Having to power other accessories with their own battery. No handles. Etc. many advantages for cages but clean rigs can still do the same job. Right cage for the right job
Curious what filter you have in the matte box?
Great to know that external battery helps reduce heating. Which V-Mount battery, plate and d-tab to dummy battery are you using?
Check out my A7IV video about my cinema rig. I explain everything I use in some detail
How does the a7iv work with the ninja v? Can you still record prores with it like on the 3, or is it only useful as a monitor?
Hi from Norway! As an owner of two Sony A7IV cameras I really appreciate you sharing your experience using the A7 IV as the main camera when shooting a professional commercial! I also liked the visual layout for the shotlist at 07:20. What kind of software do you use for designing and setting up shotlists? Subscribed! :-)
It's Cinetracer
Yeah cinetracer is my preferred storyboard program. Download from steam
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Cool! Thanks a lot!
Bro what hdmi cable are you using for the smallrig rig to the monitor? I got one, but it does not really fit. Do you use one that is slightly bend?
I know this video is old but I have to sub. I just got the A7IV but this video really helped me. If you see this can you please link me the rig parts please?
and that long gimbal extention I have no idea what it is called.
Can you add your external battery set up to your gear list?
I got the a7 iv and it does gets kinda hot while recording in 4k 10 bit, dont like that feeling as much. It gets me pretty worried/nervous
What software do you use for your shot lists?
Thank you so much for a real world review of the camera !
I wanted to ask if you could share what IBIS setting and camera setup you were using when you filmed the commercial ? The footage looked really steady and I wouldn't have guessed it was shot handheld.
I also wanted to ask about how the A7IV faired with the IBIS and the 24-105's OSS, I haven't come across any test footage of this setup and I'm curious to know what you think of it. I'm picking up this lens with the A7IV for video work, so I would really appreciate it if you could share your thoughts.
I actually tested this on my IG. The 24-105mm is incredible with the a7iv. Most of the shots I used regular ibis. There was one shot I used active steady to get extra smooth dolly movement

Do you have a video on your A7IV rig?
What directors monitor do you use on set?
Would you say the a7iii is still a useful camera to get?
Just wondering if it's worth the extra $1200AUD for the newer model?
What v-lock plate setup are you using?
I shot indoors for 30 minutes and had overheating issue. Were you using the XAVC Intradrame codec?
Did you try a wider lens than 24? For indoor shots. Or step down 4k 30fps or change shooting resolution or maybe more different several angle shots from room...sometime it takes several takes...also lighting is important rather sources from windows sun ceiling etc.
Hi Jason, I am considering buying the Sony A7 IV and I would like to ask you a question. If I activate all the stabilizations possible in the camera during the shooting phase (even in the zoom lens ), will the video I get slightly decrease in quality? I mean its definition, etc. Thank you.
You’ll still get brilliant quality
Hey Jason, off topic question but how do you maintain a gym routine while doing film work? Sometimes I find myself in situations where I can’t go and it’s really messed up my routine to where I don’t even go anymore due to work. You and this one other TH-camr are like the only ones I’ve seen who do film work and look like they work out a lot. I miss being fit 😂
I always try to exercise first thing after I get up. This gives me time to work and everything else after
7:19 what is that storyboard app? Or is that something you made on your own. Would love to know about that.
good work bro :)
Thank you
How did you manage to use the tilta full cage on the a7IV. I got one and it does not fit because the a7IV is slightly bigger.
If you watch my a7iv cage video I show how I adjusted the cage
Sony a7siii for db and pro video shoter plz
Hi Jason! a very urgent question for you; this saturday i will have a wedding and i don't want the overheating of the A7IV. Which is the best solution? buy the atomos ninja V and rec by it or the v battery? i don't understood. Thanks so much
Hi Jason, thank you for the great content. I have the a7iv and am having trouble sending 4K 60 to atamos ninja v… I get no signal. 24 and 30 comes in clean. I am not trying to capture external raw, just prores422. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you all for your help.
Probably cable issue
Great video. Can’t wait to get my a7iv. What is an easy rig?
An easy rig is an overhead stabiliser. Mainly takes the weight off your arms and not make things steadier as such
Try a pattern light to break up, add texture or color to a flat wall. Cheers
Interesting video! What ISO would you consider to be the max usable ISO with this camera for video? At what point does the noise reduction from the camera overpower the image and make it soft and blurry?
If you watch my low light video in explain this in detail with specific picture profiles
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema thanks! I’ll go look!
