New 4K Video made with A7s + SHOGUN + Canon 24-105mm f4 f+ Canon 50mm f1.2


Recommended Posts

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!!!

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.

    • From my records, Minolta made about 8500 85mm F 1.7 lenses bearing the MD badge. The MC-X version was slightly double that. So these are not that rare. I just saw an ad for a Limited Rare MD 45mm F2 lens ( Minolta made over a million of these) so the word rare is often used in a bizarre way. Seeing that the OP has a MD ROKKOR-X version and that he appears to have bought it from Europe is kind of unusual since the ROKKOR-X versions were to be sold exclusively in America. So in Europe, this lens naming was rare.  I think the confusion about a reworked version may come from the fact that during the MC-X era (1972-76), Minolta made numerous changes to their lens line-up. First they changed the lens Mount Index dot which was initially painted like their previous series of lenses but after about 1 year, they replaced this with a slightly larger diameter plastic bead. This change happened around the introduction of the X-1, XM, XK bodies. Then they removed the small Stop Down Levers that were on most lenses up to now around 1975 since their SR T and XK/XE bodies were now boasting a Stop down mechanism. Then a little later Minolta even removed the lens formula (in this case PG) designation from the lens markings. This may have caused people to believe there was some kind of modification to the lens when it was only a marking  change. Also around 1973-74 they decided to provide a different marking for lenses sold in America ( at least USA and Canada) to identify lenses sold on the grey market that was often cause for confusion with consumers buying a great deal they could not get repaired under warranty. Same applies to Bodies starting in the same era where  X-1 was for Asian market, XK for American market and X-M for rest of the world, then SR T 102 in America, SR T Super in Asia and SR T 303 in rest of the world. So you could find all of the following with their respective front markings: - MC-II: MC ROKKOR-PG 1:1.7 f=85mm ( with SDL) This type has the hills and valleys metal focusing ring -MC-X: MC ROKKOR-PG 1:1.7 f=85mm ( with SDL and Painted Lens mount index changed around 1973-74) -MC-X: MC ROKKOR-PG 1:1.7 f=85mm ( with SDL and Plastic Bead Lens mount index changed around 1973-74) -MC-X: MC ROKKOR-PG 1:1.7 f=85mm ( with No SDL and Plastic Bead Lens mount index ) -MC-X: MC ROKKOR 1:1.7 f=85mm ( with No SDL and Plastic Bead Lens mount index and no more PG lens formula index) -MC-X: MC ROKKOR-X PG 1:1.7 f=85mm ( with SDL and Plastic Bead Lens mount index, Orange colored ROKKOR-X marking for the American market) -MC-X: MC ROKKOR-X PG 1:1.7 f=85mm ( with No SDL and Plastic Bead Lens mount index, Orange colored ROKKOR-X ) -MC-X: MC ROKKOR 1:1.7 f=85mm ( with No SDL and Plastic Bead Lens mount index and no more PG lens formula index, Orange colored ROKKOR-X) -MD-II: MD ROKKOR 85mm 1:1.7 ø55mm -MD-II: MD ROKKOR-X 85mm 1:1.7 ø55mm (Orange colored ROKKOR-X again for the American market) -MD-II: MD ROKKOR-X 85mm 1:1.7 ø55mm (White colored ROKKOR-X ( iguess orange paint was getting too expensive) ) It was then replaced with the MD-II MD ROKKOR (X) 85mm F 2 There was no MD-I version of this lens and the same with a few lenses with large apertures ( 35mm F 1.8, 58mm F 1.2, 300mm F 4.5) since they had issues with the speed of the aperture mechanisms closing down for what was  a last minute check on XD/XD-7 and XD-11 bodies requiring stopping the lens down just prior to the shutter opening to ensure accurate exposure. Some late MC-X lenses may have had the modified aperture mechanism causing the confusion that there was an updated version but the optical formula seems to indicate there was no change.

    • It could probably be used directly on the A7R ( or any other body using the Sony MIS shoe) in manual mode provided it can be positioned properly in spite of the zillion contacts Sony placed on these bodies at the front of the shoe which may prevent the shoe from making proper contact at the center. If proper central contact is not achieved, using a ADP-MAA adapter topped by a Minolta FS-1100 will do the trick. Tried it with older flashes like 360PX and a few others and it works. The issue with using it in Manual Mode is that due to the very short distances involved, calculating the proper aperture for correct exposure is a challenge. Add to this that the assist lights will not operate the way they were designed if at all.
    • I've found some great lenses that way too -- like a Tokina 24-200mm AF zoom on a Maxxum 5 for $20.  I sold the camera for $40 and kept the lens.
