Then I learned that it was shot with Panasonic GH2.
Since I was mainly watching the screen, I jumped and watched it intermittently, and I didn't care too much about the plot.
Shock. Subvert the understanding.
A body of more than 4,000 can actually get this kind of picture. Before the advent of RED ONE, hundreds of thousands of cameras could only be considered entry-level. More than 4,000 machines are almost the same as the ones picked up for nothing.
Of course, this kind of picture is not only related to the machine, but also powerful post-grading. Except for the camera which is a very cheap camera, all aspects of this film are very professional. So shooting with GH2 makes me feel somewhat of a performance art.
I remember the photographer Zhao Jia mentioned that most domestic photographers will pursue top-notch equipment, and are not too concerned about peripheral accessories and are not too willing to spend money; compared with foreign players, they will choose some mid-end equipment, and the purchase of peripheral accessories Very hard-to avoid spending all money on the camera itself.
Yesterday, I also watched the micro-movie "Table for One" made by a foreigner, as well as behind-the-scenes highlights. It is said that the cost of making this micro-film is 12,000 US dollars. I didn't see the model of the camera, it seems to be RED, probably rented. As for the slides of the camera, the layout of the scene, the attitude of the director and the actors, it can be seen that they are definitely not just for fun, everything is carefully followed by procedures and requirements.
Our habit is to play photography and pursue top-notch equipment. Those who play video (although they have not played it before) probably retain this mentality. If the camera is good, it will definitely produce good results.
The camera small magic machine GH2, after cracking, first mentioned the official 20M code rate to 50M, and then reached 100M, now it is said to be 240M. Although it is not strictly RAW video, the higher the bit rate, the greater the later period.
As far as "Colors Against the Flow" is concerned, although it uses a cheap camera, the lens is unambiguous, and a large number of lenses with large apertures are used. I can't guess which level of lens it uses, but the lens performance is really good.
From the perspective of the stability of the lens, the price of the slide rail or stabilizing bracket for the GH2 should be much higher than the camera itself. And the photographer behind the lens is also an experienced photographer. The colorist is also experienced.
So the feeling of this film is: Although people use the cheapest camera, all the staff behind are experienced people who know what they want and how to do it.
People did this, whether they used a four thousand camera or a four hundred thousand camera, the true heart is not the key.
There are many heroes who understand the video on the site, welcome to give pointers.
