Love the attention to detail like the specular highlights on the necklace. I do a lot of corporate/celebrity/red carpet stuff that extremely fast pace. Shame I don't have time to stop and work all that stuff sometime haha!
Thanks, Alex! And I hear you. I'm often in the same boat. Sometimes good enough js good enough when we're under the clock ha. Appreciate your comment 🙏
Thanks, man. Dude, it's crazy w The Batman one I was uploading to YT when I saw his drop. Kid you not. This one was in the works as well when his latest came out. Promise it's coincidence 🤣. Thankfully a different aspect of the same topics but still crazy. Must be something in the zeitgeist. 🤷♂️
Great instructional video and cheating the knife block turned the insert into a scene 😉 As for the light, I'd definitely like to hear your take on it. I can't get enough tube light videos. And a question - when you go internal with the FX3 what's your format of choice? Or did you already do a video on that 🤔
James, thanks so much for this kind feedback! Glad the video was worthwhile. And it sounds like a video review of the light itself might be worthwhile. For my internal record formats I use XAVC HS 4K (H.265) for most of my footage since it is smaller file sizes, but still pretty good quality. And I found h.265 runs really well on the Mac mini M1. I only this past week got a v90 card that allows me to do XAVC S - I 4K Which is the best quality, but biggest file size. I used that format for my insert shots / will be using it when I do cinematic stuff. But for more behind the scenes stuff, I stick with XAVC HS, and XAVC S to keep the file sizes down.
@@ScottJeschke when I got the FX3 I was sooo tempted to dive in and get the Ninja and go all ProRes and such, but balked at that. A lot of the stuff I shoot requires a small set up and so I went with two CFexpress cards and stayed internal. I run a 2019 MacBook Pro fully loaded and found the H265 a challenge in Resolve so I went XVAC S-I 4K and my Mac handles that great (had to upgrade to Thunderbolt 3 external more$$$$ of course). Look forward to the light review!
@@josueviveros3730 Thanks for your kind feedback and question! I haven't worked with braw much beyond downloading some existing clips and playing with them in resolve. But I think in general because the pocket 4K has a smaller sensor, and lower ISO ratings It's going to be a bit noisier. I'll try to confirm with some associates who own the camera. What I will say though, is that the FX3 has dual ISO ratings, at 640 and 28,000, so you have a very broad range for super clean images. For me, I always expose about a stop over. And the grade crushes all the noise in the shadows. I have never used noise reduction on my footage, but it's certainly an option. The Pro res raw is a bit noisier than the internal codecs, because the internal codecs have in camera noise reduction. The prores raw does not. However, it's a tight noise, and it's something they can be reduced significantly with a grade, but also post noise reduction in something like DaVinci resolve. The noise is really just there because the extra information is there, which is not a bad thing. And actually, if you haven't already, on one of my other videos I have a free ProRes RAW download that you might be interested in playing with to see how it suits your needs. Personally, I don't love using a ninja v to record, but it's certainly something I would use on a narrative short film or a feature film. For more running gun stuff I like to just shoot internal, especially now that I have a v90 card for the higher quality codec. But some of my friends swear by the braw on the pocket 4K, and really love working with it. So I guess it comes down to preference at a certain point.
@@josueviveros3730 Sorry, I missed that you already have an A7S3. So apologies for conveying any information that you already know. 😁 Honestly, I would go with Ninja recorder. I can't save for certain that it's better, but I think overall switching to the pocket 4k would be a downgrade, because you lose autofocus, full-frame sensor, internal codecs, and amazing low light capabilities.
Love this, I could watch these kind of tipps all day!
So glad to hear! 🙏 Super appreciate this kind feedback.
Thank you!!! :)
cool ! thanks
Thank you for watching 🙏

Thanks, man.

Pls scot can you show us how you grade your footage to have that mood look
Totally! I'll cue that up for a future video

Excelent! Thanks for the tips, I have a question, how Noiser is the fx3 with ninja V in pro res, compared to a Bmpcc 4k or 6k in braw
I have a 7siii and I don't know whether to invest in an Atomos V or switch to Bmpcc 4k
