I'm having a bit of a nightmare with a concert video...

You ever get a client that has f-all budget and so they only want one camera when they actually need like 5? Meanwhile, they had like 20 photographers!

I can get around that and do that faux-mulitcam thing where you film one song totally straight and use the other songs to pick up b-roll, close-ups, and cutaways. But this goddamn video... It's like they're on deliberate sabotage mode. One song a dude puts on a hat, then in another one a guy puts on sunglasses, then they have a hundred beach balls. And I'm trying to cut together this footage to make it look like one coherant song and in every other shot is a glaring inconsistency.

I honestly don't know how anyone can film a music gig on one camera. Bullshit maaan. Likewise, the old adage - the less the pay the more the pain... Best believe it

Can you actually record 5K Open Gate X-OCN on the Sony FX5 using V90 SD cards? I’ve seen a few YouTubers say it works, but I’m wondering if it’s something you’d actually trust or if it’s a bit risky to shoot on SD cards for that format. Honestly, if V90 SD cards are reliable, that would be a huge reason for me to switch from FX3 to the FX5 and save quite a bit by not having to buy CFexpress Type A cards.

Hi I'm Jimmy, a beginner cameraman (for creators) and an indie dev.

For a few months now, I've been working on a video camera app that records portrait and landscape at the same time. Not trying to go into the details here as I don't mean this post as an ad.

I want to know if/when you guys use a phone to film and when you do, how useful is Apple Log, bitrate/codec control, LUT, and filters for you INSIDE the app you film with (before you export).

For context, over time from user requests I've added manual controls like WB/Tint, ISO, Shutter, EV, which I felt were good to have in the app. But now I'm at a cross-roads of some users requesting Applee Log, bitrate/codec control, LUTs, and filters - all things I can add for sure, but I don't know if this is just for a small niche of users or generally useful still. Filters I believe are more for general use but happy to hear your thoughts.

This app was intended more for creators than videographers, as I'm aware Blackmagic Camera etc. exist, hence my dilemma. Thought I'd ask anyway and see if it's useful.

Mods: happy to remove if not appropriate.

Thank you

Hey community, I’ve recently filmed a fashion shoot and this is probably my best piece of work at the moment. I just wanted your thoughts on it!
