Thanks so much!
💎
Considering I only found your channel this year, you’re now the TH-camr I get most excited about to watch. Love you man.
This is legit the only filmmaking channel where I watch the full video. Your content is REALLY great.
Watched your videos for a while now and I have to say your content is impeccable, from your teaching content to your calming presents. Mixed with your fantastic film footage is incredibly inspiring to say the least. Keep it going you’re born for this bud 👍🏽
Thank you man!
I would love to watch you color grade Slog 3! would be super helpful. Love your videos and personality.
I second this!
Third this!
Surelyyyy!!
I 4th this
First video i ever watched of yours, just bought a fx3 after the r6 kept underperforming, you touched every single question i had about this camera in less than 10min and chill af. Thank you for this video and for taking the time to make it.
Dear Danny
So glad to hear that thank you!
There’s nobody on TH-cam that I look forward to putting videos out more than this guy. Love you Danny. bye...
Amazing as always! Thanks for the tips man! The mist filter is somehow subtle and game-changing at the same time. I love you're color, stories, audio, it all comes together so well. Keep it up man!
Thank you David!
Question the 4K xavc si on my premiere pro my computer struggles is there something I have to set up in premiere? I have a amd 3900xt , rtx 3080, 64gb ram and a few ssd
Wow, thankyou. Your enthusiasm and love for what you do is inspiring. Thankyou!
Maaan this is awesome, I have so much respect for you Danny. Every word is taken to heart 🙏🏼
Hey Danny, I feel like I'm watching myself sometimes. The way you are in general, your emotions, and values are so similar to mine the I cannot believe it. Keep creating new content. You've been a massive inspiration and a great teacher to me. I love you too bro!
Composition, Lighting, Movement, Story....
Thanks Danny!
I really enjoyed out sincere and just real you were with your review. Thank you for this Danny! I sincerely appreciate these.
Recently I’ve been watching a lot of your videos. Really appreciate the quality and educational side. Just subscribed!
Just got an FX3 last week. I love the Danny style! Thanks for another informative and enlightening upload. Love the channel 😊
Love that even in a gear video you get across the importance of craft. Hope you're doing well Danny!
Thanks for the vid bro. I love your honest, humble approach. It's truly refreshing.
Concerning codecs, I've found that in certain cases the XAVC HS 10-bit 4:2:0 codec actually isn't depending on what computer you use. I'm currently on an M1 Mac Mini and the performance is great. I'm sure there's a difference between this and the XAVC-SI codec. But considering how much space is saved on the HS codec, I find it to be a happy medium between high-quality footage and efficient file sizes. Ultimately it'll depend on what you're shooting but its a good option to have.
As a young filmmaker myself, I finally took the leap and dedicate full time to this, and finding your channel has really been a blessing. Thanks for all the tips and for everything you do.
I wish you all the very best for this new adventure of yours!😊
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! Your works and videos always move me forward.
I've been team Canon for ages, and although I still use an R5 for my photogrpahic work, I've been using the FX3 for all my video work and it's a game changer. Literally use the same setup as you and the image for how minimalistic it is I feel is unrivalled at this point.
Dual native ISO is also AMAZING for run and gun as you can take a more subtractive lighting approach vs having to artificially create things, especially in darker situations.
Dude this is the second video I’ve seen from you and man you’re video is dope! You seem like a hella chill guy and not faking it. Keep crushing it!
Haha thank you man!
I just can't get enough of your content. I have followed a lot of you tubers from the beginning. You are just so sincere and honest. You're gonna launch soon. I hope to meet you one day. Hawaii is on my bucket list. I'll brush up on my A7Siii so if we meet I have a story to tell.
Thank you so much man!
CONGRATS ON THE ENGAGEMENT DANNY!
The key helper point from this video for me, was hearing how you’ve been able to be successful adding weight for stability. Because I shot on a C200 and loved the stability due to weight, and was concerned if I tried an FX3 or mirrorless cam about not having enough weight. But it sounds like it’s all good when you add some chonky components!
Your videos are next level man. I know this is a year old, but it's still so relevant! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Nice one Danny, since I discovered your channel I dont miss any video. You, your lifestyle and your approach to filmmaking inspires me a lot. Greetings from Ecuador brother!
Thank you so much man
Danny you’re the best. Always look forward to a new video from the channel.
Thanks brotha!
Never get tired to watch your videos! I’m own a Fx3 and I love it! My wickenss it’s storytelling and I will work on hard to be better at! Thanks David for inspire us! 🙏🏾
Haha who’s David?
@@DannyGevirtz Hahahaha my Bad 🤣🤣😂 You already know I’m talking about you!
Love my A7Siii. Great video as always man!
I love you Danny! ❤️ Keep up the great work buddy!
always hyped for your videos! Also really hyped to push out my next projects here on TH-cam ❤️
Thanks, Danny! Great tips as always. I freakin love my A7SIII. That lil guy is such a beast and sometimes I cannot believe the quality/colors I’m able to get out of it. Never underestimate a camera based on size.
For sure! Thank you man
Thanks Dan! Your a natural teacher!
Thanks so much!
Danny with yet another banger of a video. This man does not miss.
Thanks Seth!
I absolutely LOVE mine and would be lying if I didn’t say that the BTS of the cycle film in which your C70 died (RIP) didn’t give me the nudge I needed to buy this platform. Keep up the great work, Danny!
Thanks man! Glad to hear it
Thank you Danny! I'm learning a lot from your videos! I'm starting a new channel man. Zero film experience. Cinematography is quite the art. I've never really paid attention to just how much work goes into telling an interesting story!
Thanks man!
We've been contemplating getting an FX3, not only for clients projects but as a rental camera for our business. It's really popular camera across the board.
Keep killing them !!! Great consistent videos
Thanks Danny Gevirtz for this video!!
I love my FX3 coming from the Blackmagic P6K even though it had a "better" image. I was tired of rigging it up and all the weight and focus manually. I can now relax and know I have stellar autofocus when I need it which is 90% of the time. Hardly anyone would notice the difference on any online posting.. Thanks for your great videos..
PS. My new MacBook Air M1 cuts through FX3 footage like butter in all formats. Best computer I have owned in the last 20 years of being a Macintosh user.. Also when you talk about handheld you showed images and BTS of you using a gimbal.. But the message was clear anyways..
Looking forward to it! :D I'm using the M1 too and looking forward picking one up soon :D What are you doing for lenses?
Wow! This comment really resonates with me. I love the FX3 and as an amateur/hobbyist I feel like I have so much room to grow with this camera.
Also, your comment just pushed me over the edge to grab a M1 Mac. I've been struggling a ton on an 2018 Intel based model. I'm using Resolve Studio and trying to generate proxies, lower reso play back and more and it is still stuttery on some 1080 120FPS (no effects). I'm ordering right after I press send lol
@@markIRL Best dang computer I have owned in 25 years as a Mac Only user. Don't wait for the next M1X, if it comes out you can always sell it and they are dang cheap. I got the Air, yes an Air Apple Refurbished 16 ram 2 TB SSD 8gpu/8Core for 1499.00 and I cut 120 4K 422 10 bit FX3 like butter in full res. Both FCPX and Davinci Resolve 17.3.1. Go For it!! Zero complaints except some plug ins are not working yet, but most are... Luckily I sold my Maxed out iMac 2019 before the price drop to much and got the Air and a LG 36 inch monitor for less than I sold my iMac. And the Air BLOWS away my iMac hands down! No comparison!
@@ekphotography wonderful! I placed the order and I can't wait! Went M1 Mac Mini and opted for 16gb/512 SSD. This is going to be awesome. I can finally deliver all of those projects that I've not been able to edit!
@@markIRL you won't be disappointed...
Great video Danny! Pro mist filters are super clutch!
I just started with the Sonya7iii and am working on my pp settings... clicked this video to see if there was any info cross over. So many things to learn. Thanks for sharing! :)
just got an fx3! cant wait to test out these settings
Love your movie making style!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm learning a lot from your videos!
Another lovely video by danny for the fx3...thank you, you're the reason I go & create
Thanks so much!
Amazing video! So inspiring! Love the footage and the color!
The “I love you” gets me everytime
Love it. Thank you. My next camera. Can't wait.
I was gifted a black magic 6k so that’s my jam. However, you’re one of my top 5 TH-camr so I gladly watched you carry on about the Sony FX3. Now I want one.
Haha thank you man! That camera is awesome as well
The Fx3 can actually shoot proxies at the same time! I use it all the time, just grade to the original because the proxies have some compression tint.
It’s in one of the recording/media menus
Thank you for this video Danny, I know you don’t really love to talk about gear but this is a great video
Thanks Isaac!
I love you too Danny! Great vid as always! Question - do you keep all your raw footage? If so, what’s your storing methods. I’d love to see a breakdown of your file structures and hard drives used 😊
Second this!
I'm renting this camera for a shoot this weekend and I don't have much time to test so this video is super helpful. I just wanna pick up the camera and shoot. This is what these videos are for 👍🏽
Just got this cam for work didn't know about the native iso’s 640 and 12800 just bought an ND for this as like you I like to keep shutter and iso locked in the same spot and ND and apature do the work.
Thanks for the tips man love you're work
Killin it as always ✌🏼
Would love to see your process on setting correct white balance. That's what I struggle with the most on the Sony's, I feel like it's really inconsistent. Sometimes there's a magenta shift, sometimes there's a green tint. Drives me nuts.
Did you have any fix on this? I am noticing mostly magenta tint on white walls, and its such a pain having to go through in post.
Second this!
"I'm a 27-year old hipster trying to make everything I shoot look like it was shot on film" hahaha! same
Quick question! How brighter exactly do you expose your S-Log3 in-camera while shooting? And in Premiere, how much do you usually bring the exposure back down? Thanks, Danny!
Love my FX3. Getting the handle extension - thanks for the tip and link (will test the smallrig version). Sweet spot between smaller file size and quality for my needs is XAVC S.
This is my perfect video camera! I love it so much
Thanks Ben!
Exactly what I've been looking for 🔥👌🏾Thanks Bro your the GOAT🔥
Thanks man!
Thank you for this. I'm going to using those files settings for sure.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Great video! Thanks so much for all these tips, especially adding the 1/8 Black Pro Mist. Curious, what do you use for ND? Do you use variable ND filters? Do you stack them onto the Pro Mist filter? Thanks!
At mark 7:47 looks like he stacks a Peter Mckinnon ND on top of the Black Pro Mist
It's probably already been mentioned somewhere in the comments, but the correct base/native ISO for the FX3 is 800, not 640
Danny your an inspiration!
Thanks for this Danny :) Just got my fx3
I'm a big fan of using a 24-105mm OSS lens with the internal SteadyShot for stable handheld shot without adding too much weight.
amazing video as always, so well done.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you danny! Learning a lot from your channel
Thanks Miguel!
definitely echo the weight note on this platform. I have a few cages (8sinn, Tilta, SmallRig, and KondorBlue) coupled to various permutations of handles. I've found that finding the center of balance is key for where you end up mounting things (I don't generally use the Sony XLR handle as I'm mostly using wireless via Deity/Rode) so I generally have my Ninja hanging over the front of the camera body and about 1/3rd the way up on the Sigma 24-70mm I use. obviously, your mileage may vary :)
You're short films convinced me to get an FX3! I was going to grab a Black Magic but what you have managed to get out of it, plus the form factor of the FX3, and the fact that its not cumbersome makes it a winner. I've only ever done photography in the past but now I want to get into some video/film making and was wondering if you could help me in the following area.
Does an onboard monitor affect what you can get out of your camera?
If get I get something just for viewing like the the Atmos Shinobi, will I still be able to shoot in the same Log profile and settings you use?
Awesome video, great knowledge thanks
Thank you Danny!
Thanks dude!
Your Videos are awesome! Thanks for the help
You should make a fx3 settings video! Just got my fx3 and wanted to see how others set it up!
Hipster Danny getting technical today
Awesome vid, I've used the Venice a ton and the FX9 a few times, was really curious what the FX3 was able to do
great video Danny. really helpful insights. One thing I want to know is how do you deal with the situation when you have to shoot the whole day and need accurate colors?? do you set a fixed wb for the whole day footage(s) and correct in post or do you set wb for each changing scene ??
Thank you brother.
I'm a beginner Hybrid Shooter, and I don't have this high quality camera, (a6600 is what I have) but the advice is Gold to help me make my videos much, much better 👌
Unreal video Danny, love coming here and learning the process behind your film making, thanks for the videos! Im currently shooting a7siii, can I ask how much recording time you get from your ProGrade 256 cards at the 4k setting you shoot at please? thanks again Danny
Thanks for sharing your insights on your journey and equipments and the overall about cinema and photo. Just spent the whole night watching almost all your videos, and found them so helpful. Wish we could work together if time makes it possible.
and i like what u did for Dan back in Uganda❤❤🤩🤩
Lots of Love love and appreciation from RWANDA📸📸❤❤❤
Great vid mate!!
Thanks for sharing so much great info! :)
I would be super interested to know your thought process on planning your shots ahead. For example for the cycling video: your knew you would need many shots of him riding. How did you plan ahead how many you would need per angle. And where you would shoot which angle.
I get some much great info from your breakdowns and bts, reason why I never miss a single video. But this is one thing I still struggle with when planning my shoots. So I always end up improvising, shooting the same angle at every location and hoping that I will work in the edit. But I know it’s a bad inefficient approach, and I can feel it when editing.
Your insight on that would be so valuable. But anyway, thanks for your videos, I love what you do :).
Great Video Danny! How do I find out the native iso for my camera for best dynamic range? Also could you make a video on your TH-cam studio setup (lighting and all)
Thanks Danny 🙏 I think this is really similar to my fx6 👍🏻 best cinematic greetings from germany 🇩🇪
Thanks as always man!
Missing Hawaii so much watching your videos
Don’t have an FX3, but I’ve been wanting one. This made me want to go out and get one right away! 😂 Great video
Thanks man
Awesome, could you please show us a run through on how you grade you footages. Thanks.
Thank YOU!
Love those last two tips. Get something from every video. (Even though I’m only an aspiring Sony user 🙃)
The best-detailed video on the camera... I don't even own it. Still watched it.
Hahah thanks dude!
Danny, greetings from Yonkers, NY!Question, I know you posted one vid on anxiety during shoot day. What about posting a video on battling tiredness on a shoot day or even during pre and post production. Would be interested for your take on this since filmmaking is hard on the body, mentally and physically. Staying creative when tired is a challenge for me. Do you utilize exercise? Do you have a daily routine that helps keep you energized? Appreciate you and your channel!
