Canon EOS R6 Cinematic Video Short Film

Quick little cinematic style short film, captured on the Canon EOS R6. Time spent home during this pandemic has provided me a bit of free time. Why not make a short film!

With the assistance of my wife, whom starred in this short feature, we filmed all the footage in roughly 3 hours.

I used an Atomos Ninja V to capture the 10 Bit 4k footage which also facilitated any potential overheating issues cropped up. Shot using a Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art Lens which performed solidly when combined with Canon’s Dual Pixel Auto Focus.

Lens:

External Monitor:

Music:

Canon EOS R + Metabones + Atomos Ninja V

Canon EOS R + Metabones + Atomos Ninja V

You can greatly improve Video Quality or your EOS R with the addition of a Metabones SpeedBooster as well as recording externally from your Canon EOS R to the Atomos Ninja V.

I recently tested the combination during a Short Film title Pawns of the Game shown above. Filmed entirely on the EOS R in 4K.

The video quality from the EOS R using 10 Bit External recording to the Ninja V is quite astonishing compared to the internal 8 Bit. I was pleasantly surprised. It allowed for way better color grading.

Although the Metabones Speedbooster is not necessary for 10 Bit external recording, it vastly improves the 4k Crop. Reducing it from 1.76 to 1.24. It paired very well on the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art lens.

Another useful benefit from the Metabones Speedbooster is that it will also provide an extra stop of light with certain lenses. For example, the Canon EF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 became an F/2.8-4 … I also tried the Canon EF 50mm F1.2 and it remained at F1.2n

Canon EOS R6 Cinematic 4k Music Video Test

Recently relinquished my Canon 5D Mark IV and acquired the Canon EOS R6. I wanted to test the 4k Capability using several EF style lenses as well as an RF 35mm 1.8 Macro Lens.

The 4k on this camera is definitely sharper and more vivid when I compare it to 4k Footage from my 5DM4 and EOS R. The footage held up across the lenses (I should of marked which lenses were used on each scene…. sigh… next time).

All shots were handheld. The new in-body stabilization also held up well even when used with a non stabilized lens (Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art and the Canon EF 50mm 1.2). Digital Stabilization was disabled.

The EF Lenses tested include:
Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art Lens
Canon EF 10-18mm STM 4.5
Canon EF 50mm 1.2

The RF Lens:
Canon RF 35mm 1.8 Macro

Music:
Beyonce – Black Parade

Velocity Based Training product Video

Had the privilege of working with the Velocity Based Training experts at Perch Fit to capture their new VBT equipment on video.

The methodology of velocity training is an awesome concept and now has measurable science and data that can be accumulated. Athletes and trainers can now target explosiveness!

Special thanks to the students and faculty at Hebron Christian Academy in Gwinnett County for allowing us the use of their facility.

Summer Wedding Video in Atlanta

Beautiful Summer Wedding of Jonathan + Haroline

These two couldn’t of picked a better time or place to have a Summer Wedding. Hosted just north of Atlanta in Gwinnett County. The wedding setup and scenery was perfect for capturing on film. It was one of the most laid back and chilled weddings I have ever attended.

Following the Ceremony, it just about turned into music fest!

Shot mostly on my Canon 5D Mark IV with a Canon 50mm 1.2 and filled in with shots from my Canon 80D with the Canon 70mm – 300mm lens, it gave it more of a Royal wedding feel.

To set the mood for the highlight video we featured music by:

Marry You – Bruno Mars
You’re the Reason – Calvin Scott
Dinero – J Lo, DJ Khaled, Cardi B
Sexual Healing – Marvin Gaye

Sweet Sixteen Videography

Had a wonderful time filming my grandniece’s Sweet 16 video.

Being that my grandniece is a fan of classic movies and literature, she went with a costume themed sweet sixteen party.

When her mother (my Niece) asked me, I couldn’t refuse. As I knew the colorful costumes would make for fantastic footage.

My wife accompanied me and we wound up having just as much fun as the teenagers that were there!

If you have a cool sweet 16 party idea and want it captured on video in cinematic fashion. Contact us today!

Pancakes And Booze

The Pancakes and Booze Art Show

A few highlights from the 2018 Pancakes and Booze Art Show that I had the privilege of experiencing. I’m so happy I decided to bring my camera with me!

Special shout out to my artist brother Jay Thomas II who invited me to the art exhibit. This is definitely a good look if you are wanting to impress on a date night!

Pancakes, Booze and Art are an awesome combo!

The culture and vibe is fantastic. The gallery featured artists from all genre’s, nations, tribes and peoples. Artistic talent knows no discrimination.

In Full Bloom – Prismacolor Pencil Art – Jay Thomas II

I believe Art is one of those fundamental elements of the universe along with Love, Mathematics and Music. It unites.

Pancakes and Booze is the premiere pop up art gallery. Be sure to check their calendar for when they are in your city!

Sigma 35mm 1.4 Canon Video

Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art Lens video sample

After almost two years I finally managed to purchase a Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art lens for Canon.

The above behind the scenes video was captured using the Sigma 35mm 1.4 on a Canon 5d Mark IV. The crispy stills were complimentary from my photographer partner’s camera (Nikon D810).

I primarily indulge in Videography and Cinematography. Up until now I have been using my staple Canon 50mm 1.8 STM lens for just about all of my video projects.

The Sigma lens is a nice edition. Its a bit heavier than I expected but after some effort I was able to balance this lens and my Canon 5D Mark IV on a Ronin-S gimbal (which handled the weight effortlessly).

Shooting wide open with F-Stop set on 1.4, just melted the background into creamy bokeh’s. However I noticed that it did a lot of hunting. Something to keep in mind if you are using autofocus.

But given the wider angle of the 35mm (compared to my 50mm) I had to get closer to my subject anyway. At a close up range the autofocus worked well.

So for any other videographers looking to compliment their arsenal and considering the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art series for video, this is an awesome lens.

I also used this on my Canon 80D and the footage looked outstanding given the 1.6 crop factor (which turned it into a 56mm lens). Stay tuned for a follow up video.
