- Just a guy drinking some wine and doing a color grade breakdown. This was unscripted and isn't a polished or flashy tutorial but I hope it's helpful. Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more like this.
"Summer Weekends" video shown in the breakdown: • Vintage Summer Vibes w...
Graded using the FilmUnlimited powergrades from @JuanMelara82 .
Thank you for the video ! I know how much effort and motivation you needed to make the video. I press the start button now. Yey !
I hope it’s helpful!
I loved the breakdown, Brandon! I can't wait for you to get your hands on the S5 IIX, with internal ProRes via SSD, data rates of 400/800 mbps, and the new phase detect AF!
Thanks! And yes, I can’t wait for it to arrive. Will definitely make some videos with it.
Love the grade and the music too.
Thanks, appreciate that!
You really work great on the color grading.. is super cinematic
Appreciate that! I might do another color grading video soon and focus more on using the free stuff in Resolve
Super thorough video! Appreciate the effort, thanks for sharing :)
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
This was beautiful thank you! And I loved the intro. I’ve been using film convert but I think I’m gonna try these out hopefully!
Thank you! Let me know if you do, I’ve been very interested in FilmConvert and how it might compare.
@@brandonrude Okay so I bought it and I can tell you difference between the two is interesting. I enjoy the colours I'm getting with the powergrade. I could possibly get the same results through film convert I just sadly don't know how to use it yet. I love the look and colour conversion I'm getting from the power grade. I'm going to attempt to fuse the two!
@@ShebaniFilms very cool. I’ve heard the film grain from FC is really good, so that might interesting to test out, but I don’t know if it’s possible to use only the grain and not the color/contrast from it
Awesome work!
Thanks! Have a few more in the works that I just need to finish and upload.
I love it ! Thanks you !
I'm glad you like it!
I have the non-RCM version and really like the versatility and looks I can get. Nice breakdown and music.
Thanks! Agreed on the versatility, I’ve been very happy with it overall.
Really good work :)
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks bro
good reference
Thanks, hope it was helpful
hi. I came to your channel by searching for 'S5IIX' and 'BRaw'. I really like your videos. I'm considering purchasing the S5IIX as I think its powerful AF and IBIS will be very useful for solo shooting. BMPCC is overwhelming for someone like me who has to shoot alone.
However, your videos make me think that the BMPCC 4K has a much more cinematic texture than the S5. The S5's footage is also detailed, colorful, and beautiful, but it seems to lack the filmic feel. Have you ever considered BMPCC 6K, or is BMPCC 4K sufficient?
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the S5IIX. I'm very curious to see if it will have a different texture than the S5.
Thanks for the detailed tutorial!
I absolutely agree about the texture between the S5 and BMPCC and I am indeed considering trading in my P4K for the P6K. The S5 wins in a lot of categories but I still prefer the BM image overall.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned. I’m going to film some comparison test footage this weekend of the different internal codecs as well as the external RAW.
Hey Brandon, love your work, I've watched a lot of your work multiple times. Quick question, do you ever use these on your Lumix S5 to monitor the 'look' in camera? (LUT View Assist Monitor), and would these work as real-time LUTs for photo on the S5iiX? I understand they're power-grades and best not used for monitoring in camera, but just wondering if you'd tried this at all?
Thanks Lewis! And yes, I absolutely do. The powergrades come with a series of LUTs intended for in-camera viewing and I use those in the S5 and I have them loaded in the Video Assist as well. It’s great for monitoring the look when shooting.
Hey Brandon, I also purchased the FilmUnlimited and I'm quite new to color grading. I'm trying to figure out what's the best workflow.
Is the RCM version more flexible to you or why did you choose it?
And how did you get the In-Camera LUT on your LUMIX S5 ?
Is it just possible with an external monitor ?
I think the RCM version is more relevant in scenarios where you might have clips from different cameras, each with different log profiles that need to be converted. If you’re shooting with a single camera then it’s less of a concern. To use the LUTS in the S5 you need to export the LUT as a vLUT (for Panasonic cameras) to a memory card, then load that into the camera. For use on an external monitor, a regular LUT file should work, which is what I do for my BM video assist. Search on CZcams, I found several good videos for how to do it and they helped a lot.
Hello, does SLOG3 need to be converted to ARRI LOG? (the first node in the video) Thank you!
Yeah it’s recommended to convert from whatever log profile you shot it to ARRI LogC. The powergrades were built in and for the ARRI color space so that’s where it’ll give the most accurate results.
Noted this
Hope it was helpful. Planning to do another one soon.
@@brandonrude Look forward. Is the powergrade worth it? Honest take pls!
@@giddishanelli9021 for me it definitely has been worth it. I quickly and easily get the look I want and have the ability to adjust as I want. It’s not cheap, but I’ve used it on every single project I’ve done for nearly two years so for me it was worth the money. I think the FilmVision powergrade by Serr is another good option and quite a bit cheaper.
@@brandonrude Thanks for that. Price is not a big concern. Pls suggest me couple of more choices of powergrades by different colorists. I will definitely consider to put them in buy list going forward.
@@giddishanelli9021 the only other one I know is Cullen Kelly. Check his CZcams channel, he has some good stuff too.
Thanks for these! Are you still using the video assist?
I am, I rarely shoot video on the S5 without it as I don’t love the internal codec. Eagerly awaiting my S5 IIX to arrive, planning to do a side by side comparison
@@brandonrude please do! I am looking to buy the video assist, is the 60 frames still crop right? Hows the calibration of the monitot?
@@Filmsimulation I think the video assist can only shoot up to 30p. I could be wrong, though I’ll have to look into it. The monitor calibration is great, the screen is one of the best parts of it. Super bright too.
@@brandonrude Ive been using feelworld so I could focus accurately, but the contrast of it is very bad and shooting at braw makes my life easy on editing. The Internal codec is just so bad on Windows/Resolve! Hope you got some s5 files that was recorded on the VA so I could try it on my pc! 6k would be lit but ive been watching your shit over and over again because the IQ is really freaking great
@@Filmsimulation oh yeah the BRAW files are so much easier to work with than the internal codec files. I’ll see what I can do about making some sample video assist files available for download
is the JuanMelara power grade film unlimited the best in the budget? I would love to hear your review
I’ve been very happy with it but it’s definitely not cheap. I think the FilmVision powergrade by Serr is also a great option and much less expensive
@@brandonrude what would you suggest cineprint 16 or juanmelara film unlimited?
@@subhaabhisekbiswal3536 I haven’t tried cineprint 16 but I’ve seen some nice stuff graded with it. I personally chose FilmUnlimited over Cineprint as the latter is focused on 16MM emulation, which is a more vintage style look than I wanted. So I guess it depends on the look you’re going for. For me
FilmUnlimited gets the look I want but if you want more of that old school look cineprint is probably the way to go.
