Having been released only a few months ago, the GH6 was already a powerhouse of a camera with specs pretty much unrivalled at its price point. But now it just got even more powerful again. 4K 120p in 12 bit RAW? Give me some of that!
One recent feature film release in particular has made waves in the world of cinematography and like many others, I found myself massively inspired by it from a visual and creative perspective. So it was a bit of inspiration for certain aspects of this piece, in terms of the cinematic approach, how it was shot, and certain cinematography techniques. More on that in the BTS!
Kit and settings:
Shot on the LUMIX GH6 and Atomos Ninja V+
Settings: 12 bit ProRes RAW - 5.7K 24p, 5.7K 60p, 4K DCI 120p
Lenses: Mostly anamorphic with some shots captured using vintage spherical lenses (more on that in the BTS). Sirui Mars anamorphic set; 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm
Other lenses used; Cine-modded 58mm Helios 44M, Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 & 35mm f/2
The combination of modern anamorphic lenses and vintage sphericals seemed to work for me. It was also my first time shooting anamorphic on the GH series cams, so that was a nice change.
Graded this one manually based on the Kodak 2383 look, and then finished with FilmConvert Super 35 film grain.
