松下除了洗衣機也做相機 為甚麼這麼喜歡松下相機？

大家好 歡迎來到《探討藝術》 我是Ben Staley 你的居住人物 聊天頭 這部影片可能會長一點 我會講一些故事 我帶了一些茶 讓我保持溫暖 讓我充滿活力 然後 你知道 可能會有一分鐘 所以我想 我應該喝點茶 來拍這部影片 這部影片叫做 為什麼LUMIX 也許你使用LUMIX相機 也許你對它有興趣 也許你是這頻道的頻繁觀看者 也許你對這部影片有興趣 我會告訴你 我從頭開始使用LUMIX相機 我為什麼現在使用它 這就是一種 從頭開始的一種 一切都變成了一種 我們現在有這麼多的相機選擇 相機和鏡頭 這就像是創造的金時代 拍攝和錄影 從來沒有變得容易 從來沒有更多選擇 從來沒有更好的裝備 現在幾乎任何攝影機 任何現代攝影機 它們都很棒 它們絕對比五年前 或十年前 或二十年前的任何攝影機都要好 它是一個美麗的 哇 這就是我需要的茶 我嘴巴裡有東西 我正在興奮 我還沒想到這段 而那是 非常的美麗 我說 我們有沒有一個理由 我們不需要太多裝備 如果你能負擔 最基本的東西 至少最先進的裝備 至少最新的設備 儲存一些 然後在EBay貸入 或者在 crouchlist 或在 kehkam2 還有 其他的教網 去 你的本地礦醫院 何有鳥原 在過去一、兩個租期 一、兩個租期 就會很好 If that's all you can afford, go out and start telling stories I probably should have saved this part for the end I have some notes here because Well, like I said, there's a lot to discuss There's a lot to discuss Why Lumix in this day and age with all these choices With all these brands With all this amazing gear Why Lumix T I am primarily a filmmaker A director and a cinematographer Occasionally a producer Sometimes the work that I do for the Discovery Channel Or History Channel or Nat Geo or that thing They call you a producer But really you're the director Whatever, it doesn't matter I mostly make unscripted TV and documentaries And things like that Occasionally scripted TV Scripted movies, whatever That's actually the big dream Is to direct a scripted film That is my big dream and ambition And something I'm working very hard to move towards But way back a long time ago See this gray in my beard The first camera that I picked up And used professionally Was called a DVX-100 made by Panasonic It was a tape-based mini DV camera It had a Leica zoom lens on the front of it It was notable because when it came out It was the first camera The first video camera to ever do 24P So you could have that cinematic look You didn't have like 30 interlaced frames You had 24 progressive frames Boom, boom, boom, boom Solid frames Much like a motion picture film camera So these were hot cameras I started a little video business With a friend of mine And we were doing messaging And short docs and things like that The first thing I actually ever did with that Was go out with a SWAT team Into East LA And apprehending gang members At like 5 in the morning Everybody had body armor on There was a little old me In the corner with a DVX-100 So that was my first camera I learned a lot I learned about lenses With that Leica lens That was on the front of it It wasn't until I picked up that camera That I learned one day That I could open up the aperture all the way And I could zoom in And compress the frame And then the background would go soft And I would get this nice creamy bokeh And the subject would pop out And I learned the physics of lenses With that camera And then this new camera came out The HVX-200 Which was slightly bigger Slightly bigger lens This was I think One of the very first solid state cameras It was the evolution of that original HVX And it took these things called P2 cards And it had two slots For these big credit card sized But thicker cards I think they came with Two 4 gig cards And if you shot at like max resolution You could only shoot for like 20 minutes And then you'd have to go to the other card And then the cards were expensive And I know we were always making short films And things with them And somebody would have to Take a full card and hurry up And download it to a hard drive And then you'd go back And you'd swap And you'd be swapping If you shoot all day You'd be swapping back and forth Between cards to build my teeth That camera was epic I didn't own one I had a lot of friends that had them We used them a lot To do some creativity I was looking around on YouTube And there's actually a trailer For a short film series That I directed A long, long, long, long time ago Like 2006 I think is when we shot this I'm going to put the link In the description It's called Now There's a little trailer Shot with the HVX200 From there we got an HPX500 This was a big body Shoulder mounted news camera But it used P2 cards It had an ENG lens on it It had 4 slots And we had 16 gig cards now So you could record for Close to an hour on every card And there was 4 of them So you could shoot Most of the day And not have to dump cards And things like that It was a game changer The cool thing about them was They shot in HD Which was big HVX was only standard def Now we moved into HD So you could do 30i Interlaced full HD Or you could shoot 720 Progressive And you could do like 60p So you could do slow motion In 720 Now we're like up to 4K 6K, 8K But back then it was a big deal To be able to shoot like 720 HD In 60p Man, I used that HPX500 That big shoulder mounted camera I took it to the Middle East Shot short film there I shot a ton of docs with it I shot a ton of music videos Way back then I wish I had some of these I could show you But I used that camera for years It was amazing Panasonic All Panasonic cameras I started this phase in my life Where I started doing A lot of projects For the Discovery Channel History Channel, Nat Geo And stuff like that And I wanted a small camera To carry around And right about this time Panasonic started up Lumix And they were coming out With these GH cameras Which were, I believe Some of the very first Mirrorless cameras Micro four thirds Look at this Look what I have here You guys know what this is? This is a GH2 This is my first Lumix camera That I bought in the winter of 2011 Right when this camera came out And it was a hot item They were hard to get When they first came out Because they had Really outstanding video features I had to get on Like a waiting list And I remember When I actually got this I was in Manitoba, Canada Way up in the north Filming Ice Road Truckers Season 4 Like one of the worst jobs I've ever had Like why would you want To sit in the cab of a semi For 18 hours a day With a chain smoking Pill popping racist No, I would never Ever do that again I did a month of that It was horrible And I bought this camera I took this thing All over the world That was the year I got married Took this on the honeymoon To Santorini, Greece Took it to Paris I started shooting A ton of portraits with this Because I was doing This unscripted TV And I'm running into All these cool characters And that's when I got Really obsessed with Taking documentary style portraits In 2013 I got the GH3 It came out It was all blacked out and cooler Had even better video features Took that to Thailand Took it out in the Bering Sea When I was filming Deadliest Catch GH3 was awesome And then the next year The GH4 came out I remember taking that to Italy We did a long trip All through Italy for a summer This is in the Cinque Terre Region of Italy And there was a storm coming in And I remember being out there With my GH4 It had just come on the market And I bought it Right before the trip I'm out there filming This incoming storm And the locals are trying To get their boats Out of the water I'm right at the edge of the water And this rogue wave came up And went completely over me It drenched me And my brand new GH4 And I remember running back To the Airbnb So that I could clean off the camera And rinse the salt water off of it And I was just I was super scared That my camera Was going to be destroyed After getting drenched With salt water In like the first week Of my summer long trip But you know what The camera was totally fine These little GH cameras Have always been super sturdy Super robust And just amazing For travel cameras In 2015 I was commissioned To make a documentary A feature length documentary And I wanted it to be mastered in 4K And at that time There wasn't any cameras on the market That would shoot internal 4K And so I started that documentary With the GH4 Here is some footage From that documentary I wanted more of a full frame look Than the micro four thirds But I got a speed booster And was using full frame lenses On a speed booster And that just gave me Incredible low light performance And it gave me this really cinematic Shallow depth of field And at the beginning of the doc I shot only with the GH4 I went out to sea With the thing For the first couple weeks Of the documentary And just got some Really incredible footage I shot that doc for well over a year And then I moved into using A variety of different cameras The GH4 was a big part Of that documentary There is a trailer to that doc On my website It's called Starbound And if you get on Vimeo And search Starbound You'll also find the trailer But I think you can find The entire documentary So if you want to see What I've made I believe it's out there Around that time I moved my photography Into full frame cameras And there wasn't a Lumix Full frame camera on the market yet So I was just shooting With other cameras Shot with some Nikon Shot with some Sony Started shooting with Leica And then in 2017 I was hired to be a camera guy On this show called What is the name of that show There used to be this thing Called YouTube Red Which was like The Netflix of YouTube Like you had to have a subscription And they had like higher end content That they actually paid for Well they did this show Where they had all these Kind of B-level celebrities And some YouTubers Like really popular YouTubers All went to Peru To try and climb This mountain together And it wasn't so much a competition Although they didn't all Make it to the end But it was more of a like We're going to help each other Climb this mountain Stevo was one of the guys Chuck Liddell A UFC fighter There were some Pretty big YouTubers Sniper Wolf None of them I really knew And they weren't like From the genres That I would look at I didn't have a YouTube channel Then obviously I kind of wish I had Because they were all out there Like vlogging And doing stuff And that was supposed To help the show You can probably find that On YouTube actually Trailers or some episodes Or some stuff What the heck is the name Of that show Why can't I remember it I found it on my resume On my laptop The Ultimate Expedition Is that what it was Do a search in YouTube For The Ultimate Expedition When you get off of this The camera we used on that show Was the Panasonic Varicam Which is like a big body Big chunky Very heavy Cinema grade Panasonic camera Like at that time I think the best cinema camera You can get Outside of like an Arri Or a Rode Like a really high end But these are Very expensive cameras Super robust Stripped down Very minimal Very professional Outstanding cameras The unfortunate thing is They were heavy And we had to climb This mountain With the cast The coolest night I had on that show Is when I was sleeping At like 16 I don't know 16 or 17 thousand feet I went up and slept alone By myself And I had a Varicam On a tripod With a thousand millimeter lens And I was My job was to Do some long lens shots Of some of the cast As they were trying to Climb this mountain Super cool And then the next year I went back to shooting And producing this show Called Deadliest Catch For Discovery Channel And for the first time ever We started using Varicams On Deadliest Catch In the wheelhouse Not out on deck Because they're too expensive But I was the kind of Wheelhouse producer DP of the boat That I worked on So I used a Varicam In the wheelhouse And in fact I am the first person That took a Varicam out to sea And tested it out And I did this Like before the show Really kicked off I went out with One of the boats And some of the cast And a member of the press And we went out for a day And did a bunch of filming Time went on I started this YouTube channel I think in 2021 LUMIX came out with the BS1H Which was a little box camera And I got very interested in this And the form factor And these box cameras And I just fired off an email To LUMIX And they responded And strangely enough They knew me from Deadliest Catch And from using the Varicam That was a big kind of Press moment for them And it was cool to have their cameras On such a big show And so they responded And they were like Hey, do you want to try out One of these BS1Hs And so they sent me one over And I used it for several months I shot a bunch of Kind of personal projects I used it on the YouTube channel As kind of my video camera For several shoots And that kind of started My relationship in the modern era With LUMIX Last year they reached out And asked if I wanted to try This cinema package that they had Which was a couple of S1Hs Just the hybrid body And some Atlas Anamorphic lenses And so they sent me that package And I shot several projects with that One of which I've made a video about You can see that music video On my website And there's another project That I've completed editing I just haven't released it yet But it's coming out pretty soon And I'm probably going to have A BTS video about that But I really loved using the S1H I loved using the anamorphic lenses And found the image to just be amazing It's the first time, you know The BS1H and the S1H Were the first time I'd used Full frame LUMIX cameras And I just found them to be amazing Really similar to using The GH cameras back in the day I just really liked The features that they had And the exposure tools And the image I was getting out of it I used these cameras and lenses For a couple of months And then I got a job in Africa And this is this spring My friends at LUMIX reached out And they said, hey Do you want to take a GH6 to Africa I was planning on Just shooting film in Africa For a couple of months But I thought, well Heck, I'll take a GH6 Boom, look at this, GH6 I still have this GH6 that they lent me I've given all the zoom lenses They gave me back But I still have this same GH6 That I took to Africa And this is kind of what I'm using To film most of my YouTube videos These days Especially when I'm out Doing a photo shoot GH6, GH2 So I took this GH6 to Africa And had it for nine weeks there Shot a ton of wildlife Landscapes, photos, video And it just kind of rekindled my love For these cameras The form factor, the functionality I just really, really love Using this camera in Africa Then they reached out and said Hey, we have this new G camera coming out The G9 Mark II This was top secret I had to sign an NDA and everything But they were like Would you like to be one of the people To go test this new camera out Months before it's even on the market I said, well, heck yeah And so I went to Alaska With the G9 Mark II Before it was even released And spent a week Tromping around Alaska Shooting wildlife, shooting landscapes Photo, video, everything You guys have seen those videos Recently on the channel Can you guys hear that? There's like a weed blower Or some kind of gardener Somebody outside Are you hearing that? I hope this isn't totally screwing up my video Ugh, ugh Should I just wait? They can't be They can't be doing this all day And it's really spoiled me Is they have this thing called 6K Oh my goodness Did that thing start again? OK I started talking again And then it started up again Right outside the window But now it's faded away So I feel like we can get back to the video Sorry about that folks Yeah, let's do it So went to Africa Went to Alaska Shot a bunch of stuff With the G cameras GH6, G9 Mark II Came back LUMIX asked me if I wanted to Become an ambassador for them I didn't know what that meant We had a discussion I thought about it I said, heck yeah I want to be an ambassador And it's been amazing actually The coolest thing is They've been sending me around the country To do workshops And to do slideshows And share some of my films And some video And tell stories And talk about adventures And meet other creators Other photographers Other filmmakers Other people like you And I've been doing that off and on For the last couple of months Went to New York Went to Chicago Went to Vegas Went to Seattle Went a few other places It's been super rad Should I just wait Till he totally goes away I feel like you can't really hear that I'm sorry you guys Anyways Now I'm a LUMIX ambassador And it's super cool Does this mean I can only use LUMIX cameras from here on out And I have strict rules No, it doesn't mean that at all I can use any darn camera I want I'm super happy To only use LUMIX cameras though Like I've really grown to love these cameras Let me tell you a few things That I love about my S5 II X That I've been using exclusively For the past shoot 3 months now I've had this camera for 3 months Here's what makes it stand out And here's why I believe That these S5 II cameras Are the best hybrid still And video camera on the market Open gate shooting This thing shoots in 6K open gate I'm shooting this in 6K open gate right now So here's the whole frame, okay But 4K will fit in the middle here Like I can take a chunk of this 16 9 goes right in the middle So I can boom I can move out I can reframe I can zoom in I've been using this camera now A couple of months And I'm just super spoiled By this 6K open gate And when I'm doing a photo shoot And I'm taking stills with the S5 I use this GH6 Which I still have It doesn't belong to me It belongs to LUMIX But they haven't asked for it back yet I use this as my video camera To capture me taking photos So I can make videos for you guys But this thing shoots in 5K open gate So this open gate shooting Has just freaking spoiled me To have all that real estate And build a punch in And reframe And zoom in and zoom out It's just It gives you all these creative options That I just love The body style of all the The current latest models Are all the same The G9 has the same body And the same button placement As the S5 II So that's amazing You can easily switch between them And everything is set up the same Everything works the same They feel the same in your hand There's a consistency there Also they don't have a lot of Buttons and features And things in the way That are just kind of fluff That are just sort of Consumer things I feel like these cameras Are designed for professionals They have professional features Like exposure tools Let me make sure I don't miss these Luminance spot meter So you can select a spot In the frame And it'll give you The exact exposure value So you can just make sure You have all optimal Optimal exposure They also have histograms And waveforms And all those features They have this thing called Real time LUT Or there's a LUT library You can load in 10 LUTs And you can switch between them You can apply those LUTs To still images Where the JPEGs That it pumps out Will have that color profile Attached That's pretty dope And you can also apply it To video footage Say if you're delivering For a client Or you just don't want to do Deep color grading You just want to look On the footage Right from the get go Use real time LUT You just apply it in camera It's super rad You can also apply color profiles From other cinema cameras And have it match So if I was shooting Say with a red camera I could apply a LUT That was the color profile For a red camera Or an ARRI camera Or a Sony camera And my S5 II X Could be set up To match those cameras If I'm doing like A multi cam shoot This is epic They have some Pretty cool features too Like live view composite Which I am going to get out And actually do a video with I've been kind of composing Writing it in my head Thinking about what I want to do To showcase live view composite But I just feel like It's a super cool feature It's like It's like doing a long exposure In increments So you just have You can do things Exposure wise With live view composite You can't do with like A regular long exposure And I feel like that is a Creative tool That I certainly Haven't tapped into And I want to Those are some of the reasons Why I really like LUMIX On top of that The lens I'm using Is a 50mm S prime Now I'm kind of a lens snob OK so yes I like my Leica lenses I like my Sigma art lenses The L mount partnership With Leica and Sigma And recently Blackmagic joined it So that is super cool to me LUMIX works hand in hand With Leica They developed lenses together They're working on Sharing camera technology I think this is only Going to increase in the future And we're going to see Some pretty cool things coming I hope nobody's telling me But I'm just hearing rumblings I'm hearing hints I think that that's cool That they work so closely With Leica Obviously if you watch this channel You know that I love Leica cameras Even if I don't think They're always the best Everyday cameras I'm a big fan of Leica Still have my M6 I love my M6 I love my 50mm Summicron The fact that LUMIX and Leica Work so closely together is rad Also Sigma Sigma is part of the L mount alliance And I love me some Sigma art lenses But on this camera now And the S5 II filming me I have a 50mm S Prime on there Now I will be really honest here When I first saw the S Primes I just didn't use them I thought okay 1.8 lenses They look pretty inexpensive How good can they be Now I've used the 35 I've used the 50 And I recently just used the 85 These lenses are epic And I want them all These lenses have blown me away With the quality The sharpness And just the form factor They're light They're all about the same size The front diameter is the same They're really easy to swap between them They're really easy to share filters S Primes are amazing LUMIX cameras are great video cameras right Like that's what everybody thinks They're sort of video centric Typically people who are video content makers Or film makers They gravitate towards LUMIX cameras What about for stills I was in Chicago this last weekend And I had my S52X And I borrowed an 85mm 1.8 And I went out behind the camera store That I was visiting And I did some portraits of this lady And I came back in And she left And I came back in And I was talking to one of the guys in the store And he was like yeah He didn't really know much about LUMIX cameras So he's like they're good for video right And I said well they're pretty good for photos And so I had my camera And I showed him the screen And I showed him a couple of shots I had taken He said where'd you do that I said right behind your store He goes no way with this Yeah These cameras are epic for photography And I've been using this thing mostly For my photography for the last two months Non-stop I've done dozens of shoots Here's a couple shots I met the Westcott rep At one of the camera stores that I visited And he lent me this thing This Westcott Speedlite And this little trigger This is the only trigger This is the FJX3 This is the only trigger on the market Where you can do high speed sync with LUMIX And so I've had this for a couple months now And I've been doing a ton of Photoshoots with strobes And using high speed sync And I'm gonna make a whole video About that coming out soon Here's a tease of that Super epic to be able to shoot At a 1.8 thousandth of a shutter Out in broad sunlight And get super cool shots I'm all in with these LUMIX cameras I want for nothing photographically I haven't tested this thing out Like in depth for my filmmaking And I'm in the process of kind of developing Trying to find a couple documentary projects I can shoot with this S5 II X To really test it out And to really see where it sits with me But so far I just love it And I love everything I'm seeing I love the image quality I love the controls I love the 6K open gate shooting Amazing What do I want from LUMIX I really want a high megapixel Photocentric camera like an S1 Mark II And I'm sure that's coming I don't know when But I'm really looking forward to Having a little bit more real estate In my megapixels Now 24 megapixels is plenty But I'm greedy And I would like to be able to Have a 60 megapixel Or something bigger than that I'm sure that's coming maybe next year I also would love to see A more dedicated video camera Something a little bigger Like in the form factor of Maybe like a C70 or something Something that had internal ND Maybe had some built-in audio inputs Like XLR mini plugs Or something like that Maybe in the form factor of Like the cube cameras Like the VS-1H Something a little bigger I hope they're developing that I don't know if they are or not But I would love to see Something like that This S5 II X is basically like A Varicam in your pocket In fact it's better than a Varicam You can do solid state recording You can record ProRes RAW With the darn thing You can shoot a feature film With this camera And who knows maybe I will I have made a playlist And I put it in the description And that's all the videos That I've shot with LUMIX cameras So it's all the photography And all the video Everything with LUMIX That I've made on this channel Is in a playlist down below So if you're interested You want to see more More stills More video That's where you look Africa Alaska Lots of photo shoots All that stuff is down there That was kind of long and epic Wow I need another cup of tea Did I miss anything Did I explain myself well These kinds of videos are hard for me I'd much rather be out Taking pictures Going on a hike Having an adventure That kind of thing If I didn't cover anything If I didn't explain Something well enough Just leave me a comment I will reply to that I'll respond Meanwhile Don't get too concerned About the camera that you have Honestly Most cameras nowadays Are pretty good I reiterate what I said At the beginning If you can't afford A Lumix camera That's fine Get the camera you can afford Sharpen your skills Hone your eye It's you that takes the picture It's you that films the movie Use what you have Make whatever you can Work on your skills Eventually You'll get better and better gear And you'll have everything That you ever wanted That's it folks Thanks for tuning in To my long rambly video I'm gonna get out there And take some pictures myself We'll see you soon
