I just made this video with my friend. Please tell us if you like it or not. We need some critique!!!

 

Well the video was shot mostly with the Canon 24-105mm with metabones 3 adapter. We were in pp2 mode for everything shot with the canon 24-105mm. The last bit/outro was shot with the canon 50mm 1.2mm @ f3.6 and pp4 with a green screen behind us. All was recorded on the Shogun in 4K Apple ProRes422 25fps. Editing done in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

 

We are still learning but I feel the videos are getting better. It was a ton of fun and Jai really enjoyed it too! Its amazing to think we had produced this from what you would think is just a basic photo camera at first glance. 

 

We have new channel launching soon but only once we are comfortable with what we are doing. 

 

 

Feel free to like and Subscribe if you want and please leave us feedback with how you think we went. Thanks!!!

For close ups we used the Nikon 105mm macro lens with a Nikon to Sony E mount adapter from metabones. 

 

 

Outtakes video. At the end you can see the raw green screen footage where we used the Canon 50mm 1.2.

Hi,

 

Not a fan of unboxings ("why?") but some comments:

A multi camera/shot approach would be more interesting (you're shooting 4k so you can zoom and reframe - no need for 4k distribution) Gets a bit boring watching the pair of you (fine chaps tho you undoubtably are!) after a while.

The background... Adds nothing. Why not show a picture of let's say the Ashes urn?! Seriously, if you're greenscreening why not product views or something?

On screen text & labels - easier to know what we're looking at!

Script the comedy... Planned spontaneity works better!

Looks good (albeit on iPhone) but to be honest I'd rather watch travel/tourist type films - must be something where you live worth filming?

 

How about "Setting up the Shogun"?

Or if you've got time, what's the best PP to use at high (>25k) ISO on A7s? The sort of stuff I want to know but too lazy and/or talentless to do myself...

Thanks for the feedback Tim! Yeah we are waiting on the Kessler Second shooter to arrive and then we are going to hit the town hard! As far as the unboxing goes yeah it was to long but it was how we wanted it. It was just a test to see all the analytics's etc. We could have cut it way shorter and It was also spur of the moment thing too. As far as on screen text and graphics I have After Effects but because it was just a test and we wanted it up quick I never bothered, but also it did slip our minds.

 

Below is another quick video, this time a PC gameplay - ARK Survival Evolved with Oculus DK2 headset. (Sorry for any swearing in the video!) Shot with A7S + 24-105mm + Shogun + Zoom H6.
