Last week I finally ordered a camera that I'd been eyeing up since its release earlier last year. The Sony FS5 is an incredibly powerful little camera and a huge step up from the DSLR world. The slow-motion capabilities are pretty good for the price too.
Yesterday I took it out for its first test, I decided to shoot some skateboarding with my friends in Preston and produced this short video below:

So, this was my first 'real world' test, I had previously used it a little in the house but hadn't tried anything that would give me an idea on the performance of Slog3. Whilst shooting in Preston I massively underestimated how overexposed I would need to shoot in order to get good results hence why the footage is horribly grainy in areas. I managed to remove a fair chunk of the grain through grading but there's still a noticeable amount. This has nothing to do with the camera itself, just my misjudgment. I ended up having to bin around 50% of the clips. Shot in: AVCHD, Slog3, 400fps. Music by geraldbuckfield.com Video: lewisfarley.com

Just watched the clip of the Preston shot, you say it is grainy, thought this would enhance the clip, rather than detract from it. BTW it looked pretty bloody good to me, but as I told you when I met you yesterday, I only took photography up this year and am still learning. Leave a Reply. |
