Columbus Zoo Visit - Voigtländer 42.5mm f/0.95, Panasonic GH5M2 VLOG-L

Various video clips I recorded on March 23rd 2024 during a visit to Columbus Zoo & Aquarium in Columbus, Ohio :) Shot on Panasonic GH5M2 (also known as GH5 II) camera with Voigtländer 42.5mm f/0.95 lens, all handheld. Freewell Eiger matte box and Eiger magnetic IR CUT fixed ND filters used (ND4 2-stop, ND8 3-stop, ND16 4-stop, ND32 5-stop, ND64 6-stop) for 2-11 stops of light reduction when using up to two filters simultaneously. I don't use VND (Variable Neutral Density) filters due to polarization issues (especially when recording through glass) and I don't use mist filters as highlight rolloff and highlight bloom can be achieved in post production with far greater control. All shots in VLOG-L color profile, UHD 4K at 24fps LongGOP 10-bit 4:2:2 chroma subsampling or 4K at 60fps LongGOP 10-bit 4:2:0 chroma subsampling and slowed down to 24fps. Also used the 1:1 pixel for pixel sensor crop mode for roughly a 1.3x crop in UHD 4K when needing a little more reach. Shutter angle set to 180 degrees with Synchro Scan feature enabled in case I accidentally bump the shutter dial, my shutter angle won't effectively change. Developed my own method to achieve accurate white balance and accurate VLOG-L exposure without any physical assist tools in the field (no grey/white card or color/exposure chart etc) aside from on camera tools such as the waveform monitor and zebras as general guides; I say "general" guides as I do not rely on them entirely for my final exposure. Quality exposure / color is achieved by me via several stages: 1) Expert level customization of my camera settings and custom buttons to facilitate fast and proper exposure in the field. My whole philosophy to customizing my camera is different than what most people recommend. I've always been an independent thinker. 2) My "perceptual exposure" method accounting for and exploiting tone mapping in the camera being applied. While I do use the waveform monitor and zebra patterns as assists, I don't rely on them completely for my final exposure (as I mentioned above). 3) My own LUT I created in Davinci Resolve with my DSC Labs ChromaMatch Pro color chart to neutralize the colors in VLOG-L for a custom Rec709 approximation corrective LUT with tone mapping removed. 4) Additional subtle affects like highlight rolloff tweaks, highlight bloom, vignetting, subtle film look (creative look) using Dehancer Pro (a plugin for Davinci Resolve). Cheaper alternatives to Dehancer Pro exist for film emulation or just using what's in Resolve will work fine too. I work with HDR Wheels in Resolve for intuitive control over tone mapping, as VLOG-L is a high dynamic range profile. Subtle sharpening applied in luminance channel of LAB color space (achieved with Color Space Transform node). While I do use Neat Video denoising software, YouTube denoises your video anyway, so unless a shot is really noisy I won't denoise it if destined for YouTube. All of my color grading nodes are baked down into a Davinci Resolve "PowerGrade". Since my VLOG-L exposure is pretty much correct when I shoot it (within roughly a 1/3rd exposure value error range from 18% linear / 50% perceptual middle grey), I don't have to do additional corrective grading except for a minor tweak here and there. I simply applied my PowerGrade to all my shots and did a few adjustments on some shots. It was about a 30 minute color grade for the entire video as this time I had some fun making a creative color grade. Voigtländer lenses produce a little magenta shift at f/0.95, which clears up by f/2.0; this can be corrected for in the color matching process or in camera with a slight tint in the white balance, which is what I did. I usually have G4 when at f/0.95, G3 and f/1.2, G2 at f/1.4, G1 at f/1.7 and neutral at f/2.0. One can also use a balanced medium of G2; but good color matching in post is still necessary. I also used stabilization (Perspective at various strength levels) in Resolve on some shots. Focal length of the lens information set to the focal length of the lens itself, not the effective / 35mm equivalent focal length :) In addition, I used various Fab Filter VST plugins for audio improvements. I used Pro Q-3 for equalization and low frequency removal, Pro-C 2 for compression and Pro L-2 as my limiter :) #Wildlife #Animals #LUMIX #LUMIX_GH_series #GH5M2 #gh5ii #microfourthirds #panasonic @PanasonicLumixVideo tags: animals, critters, zoo gh5, g9, gh5ii, m43, MFT, microfourthirds
