SIEHSTE Film
Films || Documercials || Music Videos
The filmmaker Jonas Nellissen, who manages and produces the projects, is at the heart of Siehste Films. Together with his network of specialists such as cameramen and women, sound engineers, assistant directors and VFX artists who work as needed. Siehste Films started with music videos, which are still a passion today, but the documentary style is the center of our work.
Jonas studied ethnology and systematic musicology in Hamburg. He worked as a musician for almost 9 years until he devoted himself to an older passion. He has been a freelance filmmaker, director and cameraman since 2019. His short documentaries such as "A Fish on Land" (among others, winner of the "Gutmensch" film competition" of Caritas Germany) or "Plan F" deal with elementary questions of our coexistence and the shaping of our future. His stories remain sensitive and encounter the Protagonists with great respect and work through a subtle visual narrative.

Nice! Thanks for sharing! When will the final documentary be ready?
Thank you so much! The final Film will definitely take some time. We're planning on march to start festival applications. The Festival circuit will take a year roughly. So only the patrons will be invited to screenings upfront ;) but till then you'll see some more vlogs like this going into many topics of filmmaking and this specific story.
Nice!
Thanks! :D
It's a vibe ,👌
Thanks! :)

What's up?
Like your way of filming from different angles & talking to the camera! Keep it up👏
Thanks so much! Will finish the 2nd soon hopefully.
I subscribed to your channel
Thank you so much Nick!
Hammer, bin hooked!
Das freut mich natürlich sehr! :)
Love it!!
Wow !
Beautiful work!
Great!!!
Now this is a showreel. I like the use of the Story Circle to create a narrative, not to mention the excellent footage, demonstration of camera movement, composition, lighting and editing.
Thank you so much!! We think most creators are just looking for effects and cool looking images but really need to improve their stories and dramaturgy. All the best from Hamburg
@@siehstefilm7695 All the best from Australia! Have a great week.
Beautiful grading. Not too harsh or overdone, no stupid teal and orange, just vibrant colours, good contrast and highlight/shadow detail.
This video is amazing, but the fact that you are using one of my favourite lens...subbed and liked!
Awesome work! May I ask how you set details in your video settings while using the tiffen filter? Most people recommend reducing details to -7 and add sharpening in post, how does it work with diffusion filters on ?
Thank you! Yes i also keep the Details at -7 when shooting with slog. And I think it's not even enough especially when using the native Sony lenses which are very sharp. So one more good thing about the diffusion filter is it takes away some of that digital sharpness. No problem to sharpen it in post if you want to achieve a more cinematic creamy look than absolute sharpness.
nice luts,how can i get?
Hi Luqman, there are no LUTs beeing used and it wasn't my intention to create LUTs but to show the capabilities of that specific rig. All the best
Beautiful work. I am a fellow A7S3 user but I've been editing in FCP. I want to switch to resolve to grade but worry it's going to get so complicated for archiving projects if I continue to still use FCP for cutting, organization, and processing the final project. Can you do all aspects of editing in DaVinci Resolve directly? Or have you had experience using multiple editing software seamlessly? Finally, also, which glow effect do you use or is it just called glow effect? Loving this.
Hi Matthew, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I switched from premiere to resolve completely. Sometimes there were problems with editing in premiere and grading with davinci. Why switching the software when you can do everything with one of them. I needed some time to adjust to the editing in resolve but it's fantastic. Of course you can define your own shortcuts and it is so much easier to do everything with one software. Especially when it comes to corrections for customer. Also audio mixing is so much better than with premiere. The glow effect is included in the studio version and is a powerful tool but the pro mist filter is creating some of the glowing in the highlights as well right in camera. Is that helpful for you?
@@siehstefilm7695 100% thanks so much.
one more question. When you are applying the LOG3 LUT built in Davnici Resolve. With that work flow do you need to overexpose by 2 stops (ETTR) like a lot of other LUTS out there (eg. Leeming LUT), or can you just expose right at 0.00?
@@MatthewChenDirector Hi Matthew, sometimes I don't apply the conversion lut at all but in this case on the third note. After noise reduction and a correction note (exposure and White balance). The conversion lut wants you to expose middle grey at 55% I think. That could even mean to underexpose the shot depending on your subject and the surrounding. But I am overexposing the shot up to 2 stops depending on the shot and the subject to reduce the slog noise. That's why I do corrections before the conversion lut. Sometimes it's better to not use it at all for having more options after applying the conversion depending on where you convert to. Usually rec 709. Often I try to open up the shot a little after the conversion. But of course the conversion makes things much easier. Is that similar to your workflow in fcp?
@@siehstefilm7695 yes very similar. I am currently using a LUT from Paul Leeming, which requires you to overexpose quite significantly as it darkens the image considerably once applied. I noticed that the built in LUT from Resolve does not darken the image but just adds back the color and contrast ... this seems to be very nice. Of course I understand you could still over expose a bit (using aperture not ISO), so that you can reduce noise further but that's good practice independent of LUT behaviour.
What iso did you use throughout the video
Hi, I'm not sure. I probably were staying at 1600 while using the VND but roughly everything under 3200 (or a little more) is fine with me depending on the light conditions but no later then 6400 i would prefer 12800 as the sony a7s iii is a "dual iso" camera. Is that helpful?
Great brother.
I just watched a film🔥🔥🔥
These colors are top notch! What LUT(s) are you using for grading? I'm just using the basic Sony slog3 to rec709 LUT and I don't get anything as beautiful as this!
Thanks Nick! I am also using the conversion to rec709 but no other LUT. What often gives me beautiful colors and a great look is to use the glow effect in davinci resolve at the very end before I have my last node for grain. You also could try the film emulation luts but take the gain down a lot.
My dream Combo of a setup lol
Is this 8bit 422?
Yes it is
good job, bruda
Very nice video but... Sony 35mm 1.4 GM? 🤔
You're absolutely right! That GM would have been the 24mm. Of course it's the ZA Zeiss Distagon. Sorry for that mistake!
Great video. What is the song name?
Thanks man! Sorry I didn't put that in to the description. It's "this could be" By Joel Ansett licensed via artlist.
Nice! How was slog to edit on the computer? Works it without proxy files?
Hi Jodok, slog is not the problem here but the codec. H.264 is not the easiest for a PC but H.265 would have been worse. You could work with proxies or format to prores. as I am using DaVinci resolve I just created optimized media files.
use 4K to record videos
Hi Aleksei, that's exactly what happened but thanks for your advice anyway
Nice
Thanks!
