It was a pleasure to work with LUMIX and Atomos again, this time to produce some content for the release of new firmware opening up ProRes RAW to the mighty GH5S. I was lucky enough to get my hands on it a couple of weeks ago now and managed to put together this short film in what was a very very short period of time.
I’ve been using the GH5 & GH5S for a few years now, and with this upgrade, the mighty GH5S is even mightier. A huge thanks to the guys at Atomos & LUMIX, for continuing to update their products with killer features.
So what’s coming next? Well there’s the GH6 cameras of course. But for me, this update makes the GH5S a strong performer for a few more years yet!
For this short film, I decided to go for a filmic, vintage look, to really show the versatility of the set up and demonstrate what can be achieved. I decided to shoot it all on Canon FD vintage lenses, for that lovely character you just don’t get with modern glass. Finishing with FilmConvert, I’m a massive fan of that nostalgic cinema, film-like look.
I hope you like the short. Do stay tuned for the BTS feature coming up in the next few days.

Behind The Scenes feature for the making of this film is coming along nicely! If there's anything specific production wise you'd like me to touch on, let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to work it in. Stay tuned. Tommy
Did you post the editing video yet?
@@mmaneage86 not yet dude, they didn't need it in the end as I did one for the BGH1 vid I produced for them. Will probably do it at some point soon anyway though :)
It was a pleasure to work with Atomos and LUMIX again, this time for the release of ProRes RAW to the mighty GH5S. My favourite cam just got mightier! Having had it for a couple of weeks now, it's everything I hoped for and more. Here's a little short film I put together in a very short turnaround. Enjoy!
Loved the video keep up the great work.

Fantastic work Tommy, putting this together with such tight time constraints and so many variables to work with, totally nailed it and I proud to have been a part of the process, thank you bud, congrats again on this mighty achievement!
Thanks Al. Absolute pleasure to have you on board, as always. What a whirlwind but we got there!
You have wonderful creativity and the power of the GH5S is incredible. Thanks for this "little" piece of art.
Thanks so much. Glad you liked it 😊
Stunning, powerfully edited and beautifully captured. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks guys! Glad you liked it :)
Oh my god it's an amazing film. great work. Will grab an atomos for my next high-end job ! Cheapest way to accesd raw video for me.
Thanks! Do it, you won’t regret it 👍🏻
Great work waiting for behind the scenes soon
Ta man, coming soon!
Beautifull story!
Thanks man!
Loved this! Wow mate! Such a good story and the cinematography was beautiful 👏🙌🔥
Thanks very much mate :)
Beautiful and touching. Nice job!
Thanks mate!
Insane film man! Small amount of time packed with quality and a story. Keep it up, I’ve loved watching your channel grow!
Thanks mate thats really kind. Glad you liked it :)
A film this short that can touch my soul is something magic. Bravo. Gorgeous colors and story.
Thanks very much Omar appreciate that mate 👍🏻
Visually amazing. I agree on that last shot it was not only great but also emotional.
Thanks dude 👍🏻
sooooo goood.. really feel it..
Thanks dude
@@RoweFilms welcome sir
Good shot film, and good story!
Thanks!
Truly stunning work!!!
Thanks so much mate :)
Great visuals!
beautiful!!
Wow what a nice surprise!
wow dude this was beautiful!
Thanks mate! 👍🏻
Amazing! Beautiful!
Cheers 😊
Wow. The camera is just a tool. You my friend are the product.
Your comment wins! Haha thanks so much dude :)
Absolutely beautiful. whatever lenses you use, they have such a smooth and dreamy look. Great stuff mate
Thanks very much mate, exactly what I was going for. I used vintage FD's for that reason. Glad you liked it!
@@RoweFilms might have to look into investing in some of those! Just for curiosity… which ones did you use?
@@DrayzOfficial they’re beautiful. Lovely character you just don’t get with modern glass. 55mm f/1.2, 35mm f/2, 24mm f/2.8
@@RoweFilms awesome, thanks!
Beautiful Tommy, super film. 😎🤘
Just picked up an S1, really pleased with it but the GH5 series seem incredible too.
Thanks dude! Yeh nice, let me know how you get on with it!
I recently got an S5 (which shares the same sensor and many other things) and it's a great camera. Panasonic cameras seem to produce such great colours, even without colour grading. Very happy with my choice, I hope you enjoy your camera.
great work !👊👏
Thanks man 😊
I love it! Very well excited use of lighting
Cheers Steven!
This is a masterpiece 👏
Thanks man! 🙌
Very deep feelings & nice job Tommy !! without gimbal right..all hand held ? Congrats !!
Thanks man! Yes mostly. A bit of gimbal work in there, mostly in the dance 👍🏻
Great work , your really good at what you do, Love the color this is truly a work of Art !
Thanks very much mate 🙏
Sublime...
Fantastic, your youtube is SO underrated. Looking forward to seeing more with this combo.
What were the file sizes like? How long was the shoot and how many drives did you go through?
Thanks very much dude! Yeh very much looking forward to shooting more with it.
I'm not on my machine right now so can't say exactly but the file sizes really aren't that extraordinary. A bit more than PR422 I'd say. I used 2 drives on this, both 500GB but neither were full by the time we wrapped. I've got a BTS and post production vid coming next so I'll be able to confirm more detail in that. Stay tuned!
@@RoweFilms Awesome! Thanks for the answer. Looking forward to seeing the BTS 👏🏾
This looks amazing ! Liked the story, and the way it was shot . I suspect a lot of the look comes from the vintage glass. What are the focal lengths you are using here ? Liked both the wider shots and the tighter shots.
Thanks very much! Yes the glass made a big difference for sure. All Canon FD's; 55mm f/1.2m, 24mm f/2.8 & 35mm f/2
This is a masterpiece.
Thanks very much! 🙌
@@RoweFilms You deserve this.
@@vstudio9922 thank you chap :)
@@RoweFilms welcome :)
Super
😊👍
Can't wait!
:)
Hey Rowe awesome cinematography there! I've been waiting for this update for so long and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on the ninja v monitor now! I was just wondering if you have the option in Premiere Pro to manipulate ISO and white balance of the RAW format cause I read its only available in FCP for now! Keep up the great work man!
Thanks dude! Honestly I'm not sure man as I don't used Pr myself. I think you might be right though and it's only available in FCPX for now. Whether or not it will come in a later update, I'd imagine so, but not sure!
@@RoweFilms fingers crossed I guess then! Thank you for the immediate reply! Keep doing what you're doing brother, take care! 🤘
@@RoweFilms Stunning is the word! So much juice left in this camera! Will go rent one to test it out myself and let you know here in case someone else is wondering the same!
Totally agree. Please do man!
@@RoweFilms So I had the chance to play around with another user's files and after downloading prores raw for windows codecs, premiere supports full control over iso and white balance! Awesome dynamic range indeed as you told me! Thanks again man! Waiting for my ninja v baby to arrive! 🤘
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My favorite lenes on my lumix are old canon fd's . Great work!
Thanks mate! Yeh they've got lovely character
Incredible work as usual Tommy. Did you use a promist filter to get the halation or was it all part of the vintage glass character?
Thanks man! Yeh I used Black Pro Mist for the dance scene. With vintage glass you don't tend to need it. However unfortunately we weren't able to use any haze (14th century castle that's just had weeks of renovation and dehumidifying), so I wanted some diffusion for those scenes to create atmosphere
@@RoweFilms looked incredible still... What strength did you use?
@@ojulale thank you mate. I used 1/2 for the wide shots, 1/4 for the rest
@@RoweFilms thanks!
@Lin Berg Hi Lin thanks! Yes I only used Pro Mist in the dance scene. Reason being I wanted to use haze in that scene to enhance the lighting and reduce contrast, but as we were shooting in a 600 year old castle that had just been dehumidified, they wouldn't allow it. So some light diffusion on the lens was the compromise. I'm sure I'll be posting more content soon, perhaps with native glass. Hope that helps!
It's a Movie ! Amazing. Loved and enjoy in every part of it. Did you use some sort of follow focus ? Or you focus everything by hand ? Also It looks like everything is shot hand-held ?
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Yes, Tilta follow focus. Handheld/Shoulder at the beginning going for a rough organic feel, then gimbal and sticks by the end. Tried to create some contrast with the camera work to mirror the story!
Beautiful work as always!! Did you shot this with Canon FD's?
Thank you mate, as always 😊
Yes that’s right. 55mm 1.2, 24mm 2.8 and 35mm f2 👍🏻
Amazing! what nd filters you used?
Thanks! Tiffen and Freewell VND's
What's the text font and fading effect you always use? I absolutely love the look!
OMG!! What a wonderful piece this is... How was the lighting made in those shots?
Thanks man. Which shots are you referring to?
@@RoweFilms them dancing at the beginning and dancing at the end, both look amazing! did u setup some lights and stuff for difusion or all natural?
@@arthurangenendt8959 bit of a mixture really mate. Full BTS feature here, have a watch and you will see what I set up for each scene 👍🏻
th-cam.com/video/k1Iuxh9K8Dk/w-d-xo.html
@@RoweFilms THANK YOU SO MUCH :D
Beautifuly shot, just love the organic handheld movement, assuming just a nicely weighted/balanced rig?
Thanks man! Yeh, exactly the look I was going for. Yes rigged up for shoulder use but also allowing for it to be tucked under my arm for shooting chest height. I have a BTS feature coming next so that will show exactly how I rigged it up. Thanks again!
@@RoweFilms awesome man looking forward to it, always good to see how someone goes about getting that nice movement without the micro jitters!
@@sostojic2121 cool thanks mate. Nice bit of weight and 3 points of contact are key to it really, but yeh BTS coming shortly so it will all be in that!
You've shot this beautifully. The jerks in the handheld movements are a bit distracting though. Loving the rendition achieved with RAW. Thanks for this Rowe :)
Thanks mate!
I bet this looks fantastic without all the TH-cam compression!
Don’t talk to me about youtube compression dude 🤬😂
Totally!
I didnt have time to read all the comments so im not sure if anyone mentioned it, But the story reminds me of "The Time Travelers Wife".
Oh I Haven’t seen that one!
Amazing work man!!! Really beautiful stuff! Quick question, how was the overall noise in the raw footage? I’ve been playing with update, but have been having trouble getting a clean image even at 400iso
Thanks dude. A bit of noise in RAW footage is quite normal. Less compression so sensor noise is more noticeable and also zero NR being applied by the camera. It's pretty standard to apply some NR in a RAW workflow. In actual fact you want to see some noise because what that tells you is you are receiving a true RAW output direct from the sensor without the camera doing any processing at all. Just make sure you're exposing to the right and it should be minimal. There were only a handful of shots in this film that I felt needed a tiny bit of NR.
Again, such a beautiful piece of art 👍I would give something to only have half as much talent.
Allow me 2 questions.
1. Metabones speed booster with Canon lenses?
2. Created you own LUTs in Photoshop for every scene and finalized it with FilmConvert?
Thanks dude, really appreciate the comment! Of course man no problem.
1. Yes Metabones Canon FD to m43
2. Yes that's right. For this I created two that were slightly different. One of the field scene with lots of green and yellow, and another for the rest. I have a BTS and post production video coming next so will go through all of that :)
@@RoweFilms Metabones Canon FD to m43? No speedbuster?
Crop x1.8? which canon lens You use? amazing bokeh!
Do You have backstage form this move?
AMAZING JOB!!!
@@zibik7140 yes mate the metabones XL speedbooster (canon FD mount to m43) 0.71x

Yeh BTS and post production vid are coming next man 👍🏻😊
@@RoweFilms nice, Which of Canon's lenses You use?
I use EOS lens, but i love old lens
All vintage FD lenses; 55mm f/1.2, 24mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2
very nice video!!!
Cheers man :)
👋👋👋
This is stunning! What size of SSD did you record into for the ProRes RAW footage?
Thanks! I used 2x 500GB Angelbird SSD's
@@RoweFilms Wow, I have a Sandisk 1TB and only get 7 mins of recording time with mine? Formatted and all. How much recording time were you getting with them?
Rowe Films I have just found a great deal on the Panasonic S5.
nice one mate
I just wish the Panasonic S5 had unlimited recording in 4k 10 Bit like it does in 4K 8 bit and 1080HD 10 bit.
As I shall be using Super 35mm mode the most and I intend to do the same with the Sony A74.
Netflix Quality!
Cheers bro!
Eso es fenomenal!!!
Great work!!!!! hi! you use Speedbooster or adapter???
FD to m43 speedbooster 👍🏻
@@RoweFilms this video is the best of all your work!!!!!)
@@user-hy1vv5zj3r thanks dude glad you think so 😊
Very nice. Which lenses did you use for this shoot btw?
Hey Tommy,
So, I'm shooting a documentary in the middle of nowhere and was hoping to shoot some ProRes Raw for better dynamic range on my GH5s and then transcode in the evening to Pro Res 422 for better file management. Do I need to shift the color space? Or can I just transcode using media encoder? How would you approach it?
Hi mate. I’m not sure if media encoder supports the RAW codec yet or not? If it does you should be able to do that. Alternatively you could do a RAW to V-Log/V-Gamut conversion in FCPX and export as 422, but that would be a bit of a faff. To be honest me personally, I wouldn’t bother. PRR edits beautifully and the file sizes aren’t too insane
@@RoweFilms thanks man, I’ll give it a try. My Hackintosh can’t process PRR unfortunately. I will give Final Cut a try and output an intermediary. Cheers!
@@killianbayer ah I see. Best of luck with it mate
muy guapo el video compa
Hallo. Please HELP
I have Lumix gh5s and Anamorphic objektiv Vazen 40mm 1.8X. Output video signal to external displays (Atomos and Fellworld) allways show only 50% off Aspect ratio. With desqeeze 1.8X.
I have 2.0 HDMI Kabel. I testet all of possibles settings on camera and external Monitor and didnt fou solutions.
Is this some technical or software issue?
Thank You
No issue that I’m aware of. I’m not quite sure what you mean by only showing 50% off aspect ratio…
the colors are just beyond amazing, I'm wondering which lenses did you used
Hi, all production info including kit used in the BTS feature here -
th-cam.com/video/k1Iuxh9K8Dk/w-d-xo.html
Did you grade on premiere or final cut ?
Final Cut mate. I have a BTS and post production vid coming soon so keep an eye out for that :)
@@RoweFilms BTS ?
@@mica.motion behind the scenes 👍🏻
Wow I like this short movie clip. I HAVE QUESTION wish is better gh5s or gh5ii for making short movie ?!!
The main difference is the GH5S has a slightly better image and dual native ISO so better in low light, plus RAW output over HDMI. GH5II has ibis. That’s what it really boils down to, so depends on your needs
@@RoweFilms if I have ronin RS 2 wich better camera for me between gh5s and gh5 ii. Sure that I am going to shoot in low light but not in every project
@@boubnadproduction2902 as I said mate subtle differences between the cameras, the ones above being the main ones. You need to weigh up the pros and cons of each, taking into consideration the type of shots you want and what conditions you expect to be shooting in. Either will do the job but I can’t tell you what’s best for you. It’s a personal thing. Subjective. Only you can know that.
Amazing work ! what ratio did you use for this export ?
Thanks! 2.40:1 😊
Do you also sell luts for the GH5?
Not just yet man but I'm working on it.
Rowe can the Panasonic Gh5s do 120fps in 10 bit 4k internally
No mate
I already have batteries for the Panasonic gh5s and the Blackmagic Pocket cinema 4K
Oh right. Just batteries?
can you tell me in which aspect ratio did you shoot ? is it anamorphic ??
No I didn't shoot this anamorphic. Just the standard aspect, then cropped to 2.4:1 in Post
Dang, what LUT is that?
Created one specifically for this project mate. Two actually, as the later scenes required slightly different colour
@@RoweFilms Nice job!
What lenses did you use? Great video! 😎👍
Cheers man. All vintage Canon FD’s 👍🏻
Hi what are the Resolution Settings for this Video?
3840 x 1600 (2.39:1) 👍🏻
So if they are giving this updates to the gh5s and some other updates to the G9. What happens to the Gh5.
It's being upgraded to a mark II :)
is this is really shooted on lumix gh5s
Yep

@@RoweFilms thanks, amazing video 🔥
@@Logic23music thanks mate :)
great to see you pulled this out of a GH5S but seems too many short films are set up around technology ability and not magical story/characters with perfect cast. at the end of the day, will the average audience line up to see this and then think about it after?
Point taken. However the purpose of this film was to promote the kit, commissioned by Atomos & LUMIX. I also had only 2 weeks to come up with a concept and deliver. That's to plan, find talent and locations, shoot, edit and deliver, so there were significant limitations in terms of the point you are trying to make. But thanks for the comment!
BTS?
Coming shortly dude 👍🏻
@@RoweFilms have you studies out how to stop the slight visual stuttering that seems to happen when panning?
@@DavidGriffin panning judder is a tough one dude, especially so on a smaller sensor. Keeping pans slow is key to it. Rule of thumb is to not pan faster than an image width every 7 seconds. But in real world scenarios it’s hard to stick to, so I try not to worry about it too much. Higher frame rates help to smooth judder out too but that’s not much help when shooting a project at 24fps
@@RoweFilms so they need an even faster sensor or a global shutter(which probably won't ever happen)
@@DavidGriffin pretty much man yeh!
Lens?
Yes.
