Still and Film Emulation in Hawaii with the LUMIX S5 and BRAW

- Took my LUMIX S5 and Blackmagic Video Assist on a trip to Hawaii. Though I love my Pocket 4K, I'm finding this to be a great combination for when I want great video quality as well as the ability to shoot stills in a compact package.
Video footage was graded using FilmUnlimited powergrades by Juan Melara. I'm loving it so far as it's pretty flexible and doesn't give an overly vintage look. Most clips were shot using the BM Video Assist in 5.9k BRAW at 8:1. A few were using the internal codec.
Everything was shot on either the LUMIX S 35mm f1.8 or 50mm f1.8 with a BPM 1/8th and Freewell VNDs.

This video inspired me to change how I live my life. I watched it and then bought the ticket to Thailand. Can't thank you enough.
Wow, that is quite possibly the highest praise I could imagine! Very happy to hear it inspired you. I find that as I’ve gotten older I want to spend more and more time appreciating life and all there is to see and do. Take advantage of it if and while you can! Have a great trip, look forward to seeing what you film!
@@brandonrude Thanks for the kind words. How did you know there is a film in the works? Very sneaky of you. I've shot a ton of footage I can't just put together, pefectionism and insecurities kicking in but hopefully something will come out of it eventually. I'll let you know in the comments when it's out :)
@@cinematic_monkey please do! Perfectionism can be tough to deals with. I think of that Vonnegut quote where he said he’s amazed by anyone who can simply finish a work of art. You got this!
This was beautiful bro!!
So refreshing to see someone on TH-cam do something different.
No crazy transitions and over done slow motion
I appreciate that! Creative transitions really aren’t my thing.
I love what your doing here with your storytelling man! TH-cam needs more creative people like yourself. Keep it up with the cinematic work
Thanks Colin, really appreciate that!
Awesome grading and storytelling! Right the style that I love. And, the music - wow!
Glad you enjoyed it!
this was fantastic! i really love how this whole video looked, and it really inspires me to do some film emulation myself! :D
Thanks, appreciate that! Give it a shot!
MAN ! This is Amazing ! You inspired me ! I have the same combination , will try more stuff with it ! Felt so so Good watching your video ! Im grateful !
Awesome! Thank you! I look forward to seeing what you create.
Nice shots, quality looks amazing. I can't wait for your first feature film.
Thanks man! Maybe someday
This was awesome! loved the editing and color grading hope you enjoyed your stay here, new sub!
Thanks! And yes, we loved it and went back again. Have part 2 in the works, just need to finish the edit.
FAM 🔥. I live on Oahu and seeing it from your shots and grading style got me stoked. Some of the best I’ve seen from the s5. Superb work brotha.
Very pleased to hear that! Oahu was fantastic, will definitely go back.
This video looks like a film from the 90s. I dig it. Great work man.
Appreciate that! That’s the vibe I was going for.
Incredible video, the footage looks spectacular. It’s criminal you don’t have more subscribers. Keep up the great work. 🤘
Thanks! Really appreciate that. I think I don’t post enough to have more subs but tbh I’m really only doing YT just because I truly enjoy making videos.
The Panasonic S5 is an amazing little beast of a camera! wonderful work
Thanks! Fully agree, I wasn’t sure I was going to like a hybrid camera but I’ve been very satisfied.
Amazing footage and the grading is wonderful very cinematic
Thanks! It’s an incredible place, so many beautiful places
@@brandonrude I've been in Oahu but I was younger and without a professional camera
Amazing video!
Very well conceived video essay. A welcome refresher from normal YT conventions.
Thanks, that’s really nice to hear!
Looks great!
Thanks!
Man, you nailed the timing and framing of the shots. And here i am just using this cam for Teams Meetings anymore ☠️
Thanks! I can relate; consistently shooting stuff, even though I love doing it, can be a struggle for some reason.
Who woulda thought that “motion pictures” would be so captivating. 😅 such a different feel from all the Hawaii travel vids on here. 🔥
😅. And thanks!
Great work!
Thanks for watching!
Noice!! Loved the stills, the video, the grading, the storytelling. I just got me a new S5 a few days ago. So looking forward to shooting images, but this kind of content makes me want to try video!
Thanks! Enjoy the S5, it’s a fantastic camera. Try the video, it’s a lot of fun!
@@brandonrude Thanks! Will do. I got the 24-105mm Lumix lens as I thought it versatile enough for the work I do. But will probably get a prime too.
So nice image and the story ofc :)
Thanks Bartosz!
Finally some great braw footage out of the S5! Hard to find on youtube.
More to come!
Love this dude, especially the final caption hahah LOOL
Hah yeah it was hard going through that footage in the cold Brooklyn winter.
captured a vibe 🙌
🙌
Loved your editing skills
Thanks. I think I enjoy the editing process just as much as shooting these.
Huge quality,😍 I love your video
Thank you so much
@@brandonrude you’re welcome please take a look at our channel 🙏☺️
@@eYACTION I will!
@@brandonrude I subscribed 😅
Superb!! Bravo, man... S5 shooter as well, 90% photo though. This is making me want to re-explore the video side. Like you, I'll be adding the S5ii X to my S5 as soon as it drops. I'm imaging your color grading style available in-camera via the Real Time LUT feature of the S5ii... Instant excellence SOOC! OMG! LOL!
Thanks dude! And yeah this thing is great for video right now but the new codecs in the IIX are going to make it incredible.
Maaan 3:07 felt like the beginning to a Guy Ritchie movie. Would love seeing you do a little fun short film.
Man what a compliment! And dude I've been thinking about making a short for a while now, have just been struggling with a story/concept.
This was excellently made! So Inspiring. I aim to make one of these vlog type cinematic videos. I own a Lumix G9 and I feel like I haven’t tested it to its full capacity
Thanks, stay tuned for the sequel to this, should be up by this weekend! I’ve heard the G9 is great and one can get a lot out of it
Damn 4:16 sounds like my laughing.. I was kinda shocked xDDD Beautiful video! And laugher! haha
Hah that’s great! And thanks! We’re actually heading back out there soon so stay tuned for Part 2!
@@brandonrude awesome! You're welcome and the bell is activated 💯
@@YamilSunRay thanks!
Oh wow this is really quality content. You have a new subscriber. And especially since we work with the same cameras, bmpcc 4k and lumix s5 🎉😊❤
Thanks, really appreciate that! It’s a great pair isn’t it?
@@brandonrude Absolutely. Easy to match colors. The quality of the recording is excellent. Especially with the bm video assist. An unbeatable pair. Although, if the bmpcc 4k was rain and dust and weatherproof, I would never have had an S5. That's the reason i have the s5
Great video
Thanks!
This is probably the best footage I've seen from the S5! is this the original or mark 2? Really lovely stuff!
Thanks! This was all shot on the original. Incidentally it was on that trip that the mark 2 was announced and I preordered it on the spot.
Nice❤
Thanks 🙏🏼
HEy, very nice footage! Like it a lot. What did you use to film in the water like minute 2:11?
Thanks! I used a DICPAC WP-S10 case. It worked pretty well overall. I never fully submerged it so can't vouch for actual underwater use. Probably should have shot slo-mo though as most of the footage was pretty shaky, even with IBIS on.
It looks better than what I can see. A tutorial on colour grading would be nice!
I made one! Will probably make a follow up to that one grading some new shots as well.
Brandon, lovely images. I love your videos. I admire the film look. As a owner of the bmpcc 4K and Panasonic s5, which camera do you prefer? Which has a more filmic look? I know they are different cameras, but I was just wondering which one do you like more. Thank you.
Overall my opinion is that the BMPCC 4K has a more filmic look and it’s what I prefer to use in a controlled setting. I also enjoy using it more due to its bigger screen and certain features. However, for travel or just an everyday camera to carry around I prefer the S5 since it’s smaller, lighter, has ibis, etc. I think you can’t go wrong with either one though.
@@brandonrude thank you so much Brandon for your reply. I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your future videos.
Looks like an amazing trip! As a blackmagic user .. do you see a difference in " red hues " between the 2 cameras especially on faces .
It was indeed! I think there is a slight difference straight out of camera. I purchased an IR cut filter for the P4K and that helped get truer tones.
With the Video Assist the colorimetry is from the lumix or from blackmagic?. I have the bmpcc 4k (love the color and cine vive) and the new s5ii (nice digital color and vice). I was thinking to buy video assist and pay the actualitzation to have the vive ok my bm4k in the lumix, I'm wrong?
the camera passes the RAW data to the Video Assist, which interprets and records it in BRAW, so it’s similar to the P4K, but not completely the same. The reason is the different sensor and the fact that the S5 sensor uses V-log instead of Blackmagic Color Space, so there will be some differences. Basically if you had the 6K output from the S5 + VA compared to a P6K it would look similar but not the same. It’s a great combo, though, regardless.
Wow! Nice storytelling! And beautiful images!
Are you handheld at all the video shots?
Thanks! Almost all handheld except for the opening shot and the last one.
Do you use some kind of LUT for your photos? Nice video men!
Thanks! I edit the photos separately in lightroom. I've seen people edit photos in Resolve but I've never tried it.
Awesome vid !! congrats +1 sub. What is the exact lens you used for the clips at 2:41 pls? I think I'm gonna buy this Lumix it look great :)
Thanks for the sub! Those were shot on the LUMIX S 35MM f1.8 lens.
@@brandonrude wow thank you man !
Would you recommend this camera? I’m looking for a video and photo camera, planning to use vintage lenses on it, and also for vlogging if possible
I've been very happy with it, both for video and photos. If you're planning on vlogging with it the new S5II is the better option as it has the new autofocus system.
+1 sub. Could watch this for a whole hour easily. 12bit and Full Frame together are really unique as well as your storytelling and composition.
I wonder if you used the RCM updated version of FilmUnlimited. If so, is there a real difference to it?
Thanks man, really appreciate that. I did indeed use the RCM version, I've been trying to always work in a color managed workflow now that I've been mixing some different codes in timeline. That said I don't know if I've really noticed a difference, aside from the nodegraph being slightly smaller. I *think* it's supposed to be superior as you're working in an HDR timeline color space but TBH it's beyond my expertise. Are you using FilmUnlimited now?
@@brandonrude I had the chance to use it on a project, a buddy of mine bought it. I liked the colors but felt like it could be better through rcm. I was waiting for an update to finally buy it. I think your video sold it to me haha
@@smartideas-pedro1690 Nice. I've been quite happy with it. Plus Juan has been great, I've emailed him with questions and he replied the same day and was super helpful.
LOVELY travelogue😇💯💯💯
Absolutely loved the way it has been articulated...
The colour grading is top notch💯😍
Cheers from Bangalore, India🤗
🙌 thank you very much!
I 've watched this video a few times now - just wanted to let you know. Thinking of adding Lumix to my Fuji world for video
Thanks really appreciate that. I’ve been really liking the LUMIX and the S5II looks pretty great
I feel as if I just came back from a trip!
Very happy to hear that!
What ND filter did you use for the really sunny shots ?
I use the Frewell VNDs, I have the 1-5 stop and the 6-9 stop ones. So the sunny shots what have been on the latter. Although some may have just been the 1-5 and stopped down, for a lot of the scenic shots here I was shooting at like f4.
Damn I need that 35mm, also which shots are internal?
I’ve been very pleased with it. There’s def a bit of barrel distortion on the edges but I actually quite like the look. About 1/4 of the shots are internal: the first ones in Hawaii in Papiloa, the tunnel shot, and then a couple on the boat.
Beautiful!! Were the photos shot on the S5 as well? Or were they screen grabs from the video?
Thanks! The photos were all on the S5 too. I basically would just switch the dial back and forth from video to photo mode when I was filming a particular scene. Works pretty well overall.
@@brandonrude man I think you just sold me on the s5ii!!! Appreciate the reply. Def sub’d. love your work
@@victortalley thanks man, really appreciate that! And yeah it’s a fantastic camera, especially the II with the new autofocus. I decided to wait and preordered the IIX for the extra video features. Can’t wait for it to come out.
Wanderlust
Yes indeed
Hello, can you please tell me what you used to record with the video assist, because mine does not work with SSD or SD.
I’ve used both actually. I have a UHS II card and then also a Samsung T5 that I’ve recorded to. When I got the Video Assist I updated the firmware first thing so it was up to date. Then I also made sure to format the card and drive through the Video Assist too. Are you using it with the S5?
Awesome! When's the spy movie sequel coming out?
In talks with the talent, going to make it happen this year!
Looks amazing! Is braw really worth it?
For me it's more about 12-bit color than anything. I love BRAW as I started with Blackmagic cameras and use Davinci Resolve (on PC). I've never shot PRORES/RAW. The 12-bit color is most important to me, but then working with the BRAW files in Resolve is so much easier than the 10-bit MOV files, even though the latter are so much smaller. But yeah, the BM video assist is NOT cheap. I thankfully found a good deal on ebay for the 5" one.
Do you have full control over BRAW? Iso, wb, highlight recovery etc.?
@@TheReelport not full control unfortunately. You can change wb and color space on the raw tab but highlight recovery currently isn’t available. Also I can’t recall offhand if you can change ISO per se but you def can use the exposure slider on the raw tab.
wowowow so amazing color tutorial would be great
Thanks! I think I am going to put together a little tutorial or at least a breakdown of the grade on some of these shots.
What settings you used for filming and what do u use for film emulation
These were all shot in V-Log at 24p, 640 iso. For the internal stuff it was all at the 10-bit 4:2:2 codec, and then when using the Video Assist BRAW 8:1, 5.9k 24p. For film emulation I use the FilmUnlimited powergrades by Juan Melara.
Could you do a tutorial on how to get such amazinng colors? This looks amazing! 😍
I can probably do that. I created one a while back but it's probably due for an update.
@@brandonrude it would be awesome! Thank you 😊
Looks amazing, S5 or S5II?
Thanks! It’s the S5. I’ve preordered the S5IIX, decided to wait for that one for the addition video features.
02:43 which camera and lens were you using here ? It’s beautiful
Thanks! That was the S5 with the BM video assist (so shooting in BRAW) and the LUMIX S 35mm f1.8.
@@brandonrude I have the ninja v, wondering if ProResRaw would as good combined with the FilmUnlimited powergrades by Juan Melara.
@@aram.v I would think so. I saw a comparison of the two on DP Review i think and they found that ProRes Raw was probably a slightly better codec overall but the differences were minor, mostly in the amount of noise. If anything I would think it might be a little better as BRAW is always slightly more compressed.
Did you have a rig? Or was it more run and gun?
Bit of both but a pretty minimal rig. I always have a cage on the camera and then I’ll mount the monitor on top but that’s about it for this kind of situation. If shooting something more planned I’ll rig it out more with rails and a second battery and such.
Are you using a mic or was the audio aftermarket
Bit of both. There were a few shots where I was using a Comica shotgun mic, but mostly was sound design and sfx elements
How do you know my colour preferences better than me?!?
I guess we both have good taste? 😎
