Thanks for the reply, yeah you're probably right.

 

Always balanced correctly, that's definitely not the issue. I'll post a few samples.

 

I think maybe turning my full body with the gimbal, with straight wrist which doesn't bend / pan, might be the ticket.

Eq'd some harsher frequencies out and sounding a bit more pleasant.

 

Attached is a screen grab of my latest colour and link to the raw file (non processed audio).

 

Feel free to experiment, looking forward to seeing what you come up with

 

In reflection, regarding lighting, I may have used too much fill resulting in the flat look face

Yeah, I'll post a Slog file later, cheers.

 

The most unfortunate thing for me regarding the skin tone is that it's exactly the same colour as the background, I can not really isolate or mask it to further adjust.

 

I'm pretty sure those cupboards in the background weren't much more vibrant than this. Anyway, thanks.

 

This is a video for Insta -  a half decent mic was used, mono, in a poop sounding kitchen, obviously. It has a reasonable audio level (around -3), with no clipping or distortion, and has been normalised.

 

I will apply some equalisation before it goes to client and that's that.

 

Good luck with your shoot.. as an aside ..I just bought the Sigma T2 cine zoom set..18-35.  50-100.. relatively.. these are very inexpensive lenses .. worth checking out..

 

 

Thanks. The shoot went well, lovely image from the FS7 and lights.

 

My setup may be overkill though. I use a slider on top of two big beast tripods, with the big FS7 on the slider.

 

Substantial bit of work moving everything from one shot to the next. And a lot of equipment to achieve some simple moves.

 

This video is to promote a product on Instagram. Set up wise, I really need to consider a more efficient way of achieving camera movement - smaller camera (maybe A7S2) and gimbal.

 

I could have captured 5 times the content with more freedom to move around the room

 

How're you finding those zooms? I have the Sigma Art 24mm, but will definitely consider zooms for future work. The may well suit my web video needs more than a few primes.

Thanks for the contributions, chaps. Camera opinions and gimbal opinions.

In conclusion the FS5 is very nice on a gimbal, in the same way a 5D3 with Magic Lantern is.

I am pretty much over debating cameras now, specifications, will the camera fit on this, yes it will fit on this but you need this, it will shoot 10bit if. Unavoidable I guess, but it’s endless.

I’ll lock down a solid set up and let my work speak.

I’m about to shoot a nice project on an Fs7 though, without gimbal obviously. A little slider.

Thanks again
