Thanks for making this. I miss simple videos like this. I love my A7RV. It does everything I need it to do really well. I'm cautiously optimistic that Sony will add the ability to load LUTs, dynamic stabilization from the ZV-E1, and aspect markers from the A7CII/A7CR. I've been a Pro Mist user for years, but thinking of switching to Glimmer Glass or something else that doesn't lose out on contrast as much as the PM.

Don't really get why people are so quick to bash "Sony color science"..it has definitely gotten better over time..haha this topic of "color science"..Canon, Fuji, Sony..etc..its all relative..the way I see it..if you spend time and become a good "editor" you can easily match or come close to other "brands" color science..and find what you like and being able to convey your intentions with your photo....being a good editor is as important as the creative part of photography and the art in general..

Nice calming trip to abandoned buildings. Love the vegetation growing though cars. One observation is that no company can make a camera or product that satisfies everybody. Some scream when there is no super flippy screen, others scream because there is a super flippy screen. So many crybabies. But at least the sensible can make a choice. For me, the a6700 more than fits the bill of a do everything camera. I'm almost ready to jump back to my Nikon F2 and FE2 except for the prices of film and getting back to working with chemicals. That was for last century.

I'm pretty new to video work - is the pro mist enough for stopping down to lower your shutter speed? Or do you have to use an ND and the pro mist together? I feel like it would be hard to hit the 1/50th @ 24fps with the sunlight you had on this trip? Beautiful work as always - really enjoy listening to your process.
@DylanSpitz
9 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks for the love! To answer your question - no, the pro mist lowers contrast a tiny bit but not exposure. I used a 1-5 stop variable ND filter for the video and removed it while shooting photos.
Hey, this is really a wonderful video! Everything in the video except the fuji stuff has used the a7RV? Including the videos. I'm a bit confused that the description saying a7siii as the video cam! Also where did you find the music for your videos? And do you add film grains to your photos and videos?
@DylanSpitz
9 ай бұрын
Hey there! Thanks for the kind words. Here are your answers: Everything including the video was shot on the A7RV for this one (it was a rental though, only had it for a few days). The talking portion of the video was shot with my personal camera, the A7SIII, after the A7RV was already returned. The intro montage music I made myself. The others throughout the video are from epidemic sound. Yes, I add film grain to my photos and video! Not a ton, but enough to rough it up a tiny bit and add some texture.
Incredible 😍

Loving your Apollo and Adams in the background! :D. Looking to possibly upgrade my A7IV for the A7RV... primarily to get the reach I'm looking for in Crop Mode. Also looking into the X-H2... such a great eco-system for our whole family. Thoughts on the X-T5 AF vs. the Sony? Thanks for the review! Edit: Just saw your section of the X100V shots... they were beautiful. What would you miss most of only using an X-T5 (X-H2)?
@DylanSpitz
2 ай бұрын
Thank you! X-T5 AF is pretty great but still not close to the Sony as far as hit rate and real time tracking with quickly moving subjects. On a paid shoot with a lot on the line, I’d never choose the Fuji over the Sony. With that said, for casual personal stuff it’s great.

Ай бұрын
Thanks so much! I think the IV is probably incredibly powerful and the better choice for most hybrid shooters, especially for the cost. However, I have not used one personally so I can’t say that with 100% certainty. Sony has been killing it in recent years. Hard to pick a bad camera.

I had the RIV and sold it due to the colour science believe it or not. It was always an uphill battle in Lightroom with the raw images, I’d get weird colour shifts and apparently I’m not alone in this. My A7 IV is great, almost Canon ish.

It is pretty easy to match them, but the RV definitely has more noise at base iso in slog3 because of its higher mp sensor. If you have plenty of light it’s not an issue, but worth noting for lower light situations. It also seems to have a bit different color science - leaning more magenta than the SIII, which I actually don’t like. Detail wise, there’s no real-world difference to me. The SIII is still the champ for me, but that’s more just a testament to how great that 12mp sensor is for video.
Looks like Dehancer. Didn't realize the colors would be almost like Fuji.
