Headphones On! 🎧 Hope you all enjoy this edit and are doing well - lol been a while since the previous post. But I will be trying to post more content soon, so stay tuned!
haha that would be super cool! though I think the GH7 is too bulky for a M43 (I think it's the same size as the S5IIX) - so I'll be more interested in maybe an upgraded version of the G85 👀 And thank you 🙌! The G85 is a pretty beast camera, so I think there's still some more things to explore with it to maximize it's usage.
@@TheCommodoreProductionsdo you think the g9 is a bit bulky for a micro 4/3 too? I was thinking of getting one but might just keep the g85 and save for an S5
I've always thought my budget camera was limiting me, but seems like my budget skill is. looks great I've never made my g85 looked so good like these shots you have
Amazingly well made, (almost) can't even believe you made it with a G85. You've mastered this camera and are on your way to mastering videography in general.
BRAVO!!!❤ A visual feast for the eye and mind! Inspiring video that captures a journey and draws the viewer in. I've just returned from a 3 week tour of Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bangkok, Singapore). With the Lumix ZS200 and Insta360 X4, I have so many photos and videos to bring together to tell a story of the journey. You've inspired me to look at all these memories from a different perspective. The task is challenging, but you've shown the rewards for embracing the challenges of travel to create lifetime memories! Thanks for creating and sharing this wonderful experience!❤🙂👍
This video and channel deserves so much more recognition. The sound design, editing style, color grading and narration, oh man. You did an amazing job!
A real Pro, ... showing that talent does not raise from the choice of a camera, and that a video from a M43 / 8 bit camera without V-log can actually be colorgraded. I own and enjoy most recent cameras from Lumix (M43 & Full Frame), but I still use my G85, and won't sell it ! But men... This guy goes beyond everything I know. He definitely knows how to make wonders with this camera.
You are an absolute amazing story teller and filmmaker! Every single shot was captured perfectly, the editing was truly expert level. The colors were great, the sound design was stupendous, and the blend of close up shots and wider shots was so well done! This was simply excellent! And it even encourages me to get out and film more with my g85 that I just received!
Thank you for this video. Ironic, as im looking to buy a new travel camera for my next trip to Japan- , so have been recommended the Lumix G85..... ..... and then i find a video about the G85 AND Japan... here we are ; ! .. serendipity ?! ;)
You are a huge inspiration to me, Timothy. You're the reason I bought my g85 and made my first ever travel film. I gotta ask, how do you keep your shots so in focus with this camera? Especially with moving subjects and locked-off tripod shots of yourself?
Thank youu! Moving subjects - I think it's a hit or miss at times, so you just got to be fast with the manual focus (I suggest you press the AF/AE LOCK button to pre-focus your subject first - press it until you are focused on your subject. Also be sure to have the white marker on MF). And then for tripod shot on yourself - it's a guessing game when trying to focus on yourself lol BUT I suggest having a higher aperature to have more things in focus (like f3.5 or higher) to make it easier OR use the manual focus indicator on the G85 to focus on a spot that you will be standing or walking into frame to. I'll be making some more content on this so stay tuned for that.
This is amazing work with the G85. Did you bring along everything in your gear description when travelling? So many shots have great stabilization, wondering if they were mostly handheld or if you at least had a grip/handle for them!
@Straflight thanks! So i brought and used these: - G85 + cage - panasonic 25mm - panasonic 9mm - helios 44 (i bought this used in Japan) - DJI RS3 mini - ND filter - filter adapter (to fit my lenses) - mist filters (1/4 on the panasonic 25mm and 1/8 on the panasonic 9mm) - gopro 8 (if i went hand held, i put this on my G85 sometimes if I have the 25mm or helios, so I can quickly grab wide shots if needed without switching lenses in the moment). - backpack + quick release plate - camera hand strap I should do a video of how i run my setup haha. But hopefully that helps!
This was such a great video! I love the cinematic style you've captured on your travels, it's something I want to try to learn and reciprocate as I've just bought my first ever camera (the g80). Do you have any recommendations for settings how tips on how to capture this cinematic style? And how different is the footage you shoot compared to after you've colour graded it? Colour grading is another thing I want to learn. Also loved the focus on sound design when you were in the onsen!
@leefy28 thank you 🙌🏼 glad you liked the video! So settings, I actually have a video on my channel that talks about optimizing your G85 to maximize it's capabilities. But I'll list out some main ones here: 1. Shoot in 4k 24fps with your camera 2. Turn on zebra settings in your camera (for highlight detection so you can adjust the lighting setting for your camera) 3. Use manual focusing (the push button to focus method) 4. Turn on focus peaking (it'll help you see if you're focusing correctly) 5. Pay attention to your exposure meter, try to have it at +-0, but adjust accordingly to your environment 6. Framing a shot correctly (this is the most important one, as it'll be the core to your cinematic approach) 7. Use natural picture profile - I forgot the settings of this on the top of my head as I'm typing this out haha, but it's in the video I made, as mentioned previously There's definitely some more, but this will be a good base for you to get things started. Hopefully this helps!
Es verdad, yo tengo esa cámara desde hace un año y es increíblemente hermosa y buena. Honestamente tengo solo el lente de kit (12-60mm) y no he podido sacarle todo el jugo 😢😢😢 sin embargo estoy indeciso si comprar el 25 mm o 42.5 mm para mis videos. Aún así, tengo la seguridad de hacer videos tan espectaculares como los tuyos. Ah, y un filtro ND 😅
Great video! The best of the best from every G85 videos. Every second of that - amazing! Can I ask a question about Helios? Did you use simple adapter without focal reducer that gives more light and wide look?
Thank you!🙌🏼 So I used both a normal adapter and focal reducer. - m43 to m42 mount adapter to helios - m43 to ef focal reducer x.71 mount, then ef to m42 adapter to helios Without a focal reducer, it doesn't give it more light, and it is zoomed in 2x. So if it's at 50mm and you adapt normally then it'll be at 100mm
Fantastic video, amazing footage, editing... All with the G85. I have questions and a request for you. In which camera settings do you shoot evening and night shots? I have a micro 4/3 system myself and struggle a lot with it. Another question is, regarding the dynamic cuts, do you use some presets or did you make them yourself, and a question/curiosity: What does your timeline look like? I wonder how much video and aduio tracks you use for the idea... Maybe if it's not too daring and just make a printscreen of a small cutout... have a good time and I wish you a lot of new inspiration around the world, you're doing a great job!
Thank you! For the night scenes I am using 4K 24fps, max or under 800 iso, and using a panasonic 25mm f1.7, 9mm f1.7, and helios 44-2 f2 (with .71x speedbooster). For the dynmaic shots used in the edits (if you are referring to the whip effect) - essentially just whipping the camera left, right, up, or down when I finish a shot. My editing timelines actually can be found on my instagram page, in which I post those there.
TheCommodoreProductions as always great work. The Panasonic S5 Mark 1 is still on my shopping list alongside the Panasonic S5 Mark 2, Panasonic S5 Mark 2X, Panasonic S1H and the Sony A74. I am also curious about what Nikon will do with the future Nikon Z5 Mark 2. Especially as I use the Nikon D5500. I used it for my trip to Japan. Also have you ever reached out to the actual group The Commordores. Send them your film work and do some work for them I think they would be interested considering the name of your TH-cam channel and production company.
the colors grading is fantastic , how do u fix skin tones , some clips the faces are a little bit yellow, do you use dctls, how do u transform it to darker rich colors
for the focus are you using Manual focus? if yes, are you using focus puller or Lidar such as PDMOVIE or DJI focus pro? color profile must be natural with -4 -4 -2 -1. but I like the grade and just purchase your luts.. awesome
The focus - just using the manual focus, but instead of using the lens ring I use the AF/AE Lock button on the back - make sure the indicator is on MF. I am actually testing out PDMovie at the moment - will make a video on that as well to give some insight on how it works with the camera And glad you like the grade! Enjoy the LUTs!
@@capturebyparitosh thanks! Yes my previous travel cinematics I used the 12-60mm kit lens. Actually a lot of my vids I used the kit lens - I got the panasonic 9mm more recently and used it on this trip so it's the first time I'm showcasing it on my channel here
Awesome 😍🙌 so what picture profile and setting do you use? Do you also use specific luts? Colors looks too good 💫 i have gh5 with 12-35mm f2.8.. Do you think i need to upgrade on vLogL? Because higer frame rates only in 8bit colors
@@ironman9143 thanks! Picture profile I'm using natural, and I use my own luts, I have a free and paid ones link in description! Gh5 is a better camera in terms of features, so I think you should be using vlog if I remember correctly, cause you have more color grading potential since it's a higher bit than the g85. I mostly film in 4k 24fps, so if you film in that frame rate you can utilize the higher bit for colors (again this is just on top of my head, so just be sure to look it up!)
Thanks! I'm not sure with that camera particularly as I've never used it or seen anyone I know use it. But I think if you want more "cinematic", I think there's really just good framing in general. The other two I would then add be good lighting and then a lower aperture if shooting subjects ( a lower f stop - example: f.2.8 or lower) so you can have some depth of field when shooting your Subject - aka blurry background effect. I suggest you just watch some movies and copy some shots that you like, and then you can learn and see what works best for you, then you'll start making your very own cinematic shots before you know it!
Very nice cinematic 🙌🔥 Can you suggest me some tips like I have 2 lens ( one is 25mm f1. 7 and 2nd one is 12-35mm f2.8 ) so what do you think which one is very go to lens and where I can use both lens to achieve cinematic from wide to mid tight shot ? One thing I know is 25mm gives more bokeh background...so any recommendations..your answer Would help me alot thank you 😇
Thank you! Actually the 12-35mm f2.8 is pretty versatile and achieves what you are looking for in terms of wide to mid shots. Though it isn't going to be the best for very low light situations given it's at f2.8 (but i think it still can work in decent low light, but not compared to the 25mm at f1.7). If you need to be fast with your lens focal changes, then the 12-35mm is for you, just get a portable light (if you are doing subject shots or anything that might be dark). If you can take your time with your shots, I would look at the 25mm f1.7 and 9mm f1.7 - these two are a good mid and wide angle lens. Hope that helps!
thanks, and all good, the fast pace is not for anyone. For editing shots, I used warp stabilization to smoothen out some shots. Some out of focus shots I sharpened. And then I color graded all clips individually. Sound design was built mostly from scratch.
The transition to Hong Kong with that upbeat music transition native to the culture is sublime. So 🔥🔥🔥 . This is the documentary/movie style videos that I find myself drawn to. Incredible work. Thank you. Stay tuned for my work as well. I'm learning from the best.🫡🤌🏾
Just don't go over 800 iso and use surrounding light in your environment. Also using a lower aperature lens (like the Panasonic 25mm 1.7 or Panasonic 9mm 1.7) will help a ton.
maybe it has to do with lighting - i still use it at 24fps, but I make sure it has enough lighting. my shutter speed is always at 1/50. also try to make your shots smoother when in low light - if there is shakiness, you might encounter some jitters in your shots And ND filter - most of the time no I do not use it at night. Unless the lighting is too intense, but that is not often
@TheCommodoreProductions I was wondering if you had the ND filter on during the night shots to help smooth the video. Whatever you're doing, the video looks better and smoother than most people using high end 4k cameras.
Headphones On! 🎧
Hope you all enjoy this edit and are doing well - lol been a while since the previous post. But I will be trying to post more content soon, so stay tuned!
Lumix should just go ahead and send you a GH7, cause you are really showing how skill can overcome any deficiencies in a camera.

Just don't go over 800 iso and use surrounding light in your environment. Also using a lower aperature lens (like the Panasonic 25mm 1.7 or Panasonic 9mm 1.7) will help a ton.
Why does your motion look smoother on a G85 at 24 or 30fps than newer cameras which are using 60fps? Are you using an ND filter (even at night?)?
maybe it has to do with lighting - i still use it at 24fps, but I make sure it has enough lighting. my shutter speed is always at 1/50. also try to make your shots smoother when in low light - if there is shakiness, you might encounter some jitters in your shots
And ND filter - most of the time no I do not use it at night. Unless the lighting is too intense, but that is not often
@TheCommodoreProductions I was wondering if you had the ND filter on during the night shots to help smooth the video. Whatever you're doing, the video looks better and smoother than most people using high end 4k cameras.
do u mind to share what lenses u used during the trip?
@@edwintan73 ya - I used the lumix 25mm f1.7, 9mm f1.7, kit lens, and helios 44-2 (with and without a speedbooster)
would you mind please share your detailed profile pictures here ? thanks

what aspet ratio is this?
2.35 aspect ratio. I shoot on a standard 16:9 aspect ratio then convert it when editing
