RE: How To Create Professional Videos At Home! VLOG #014 (DTUBE EXCLUSIVE)
Hi. I actually shoot my videos with a GH4 and a similar light package. While I love my GH4 especially for tripod footage, it can wear your arm down trying to hold it with one hand via a gorilla grip while shooting on the go. I have been thinking of getting a smaller camera for shooting on the move but I am not sure how hard it will be to match up footage shot with two different cameras in post. Have you had any issues matching up footage to make it look like it was shot by a single cam? Forgot to add I usually shoot in 24fps in 4k, my thought is that makes it a bit more complicated to match with a smaller camera.
👋 Hi! Great questions. When I VLOG I typically choose one camera and yes the GH4/5 is heavy! However, I want to have the flexibility to not only creat the VLOG talking head part but also the B-ROLL footage - this is why I love the GH5 because by it let’s me do everything in on Camera! The G7x Mark ii by canon is an amazing blogging camera as well for a much better budget and smaller overall camera 📷 the only thing you lose is Audio quality and super slow motion
A trick I use for better voice quality when outdoors or when using a camera that doesn't have an external shotgun mic is I use a lapel mic and hide it under my shirt and plug it to my phone. I record the sound with both the camera and my phone app making it super easy to match up both of the sound files in post. Then I can simply pick the best audio track to use in my video or slice and dice in the event my main audio file got some distortion or wind noise.
