‘HIM’ Short Film | LUMIX GH5S & Ninja V | ProRes RAW Rowe Films 2021-06-09 | A cinematic short film by Tommy Rowe in collaboration with Panasonic Lumix & Atomos Global. Shot in ProRes RAW on the LUMIX GH5S & Atomos Ninja V.See the 'Behind The Scenes' Feature here:youtube.com/watch?v=k1Iuxh9K8Dk 🔥 Like what you see? Check out my online store for custom colour grading LUTs and stay tuned for much more to come! https://rowe-films.sellfy.storeIt was a pleasure to work with LUMIX and Atomos again, this time to produce some content for the release of new firmware opening up ProRes RAW to the mighty GH5S. I was lucky enough to get my hands on it a couple of weeks ago now and managed to put together this short film in what was a very very short period of time. I’ve been using the GH5 & GH5S for a few years now, and with this upgrade, the mighty GH5S is even mightier. A huge thanks to the guys at Atomos & LUMIX, for continuing to update their products with killer features. So what’s coming next? Well there’s the GH6 cameras of course. But for me, this update makes the GH5S a strong performer for a few more years yet! For this short film, I decided to go for a filmic, vintage look, to really show the versatility of the set up and demonstrate what can be achieved. I decided to shoot it all on Canon FD vintage lenses, for that lovely character you just don’t get with modern glass. Finishing with FilmConvert, I’m a massive fan of that nostalgic cinema, film-like look.I hope you like the short. Do stay tuned for the BTS feature coming up in the next few days.

THE HOAX | LUMIX S5IIX + ATLAS MERCURY ANAMORPHIC LENSES Rowe Films 2023-06-10 | I was privileged recently to have been provided with a demo set of the awesome new Mercury Series anamorphic lenses by Atlas Lens Co. With the recent release of the Panasonic S5IIX, I wanted to pair them up to see how special this camera/lens combo could be.I only had the lenses for a few days, and actually only had two evenings available in my schedule to shoot something. I was very limited as to what I could realistically do in such a short timeframe, so I called upon my good friends the Bishops to help me out. This is a piece with a specific message that I’ve wanted to put out there for a while now. As I was hoping, the camera lens combo is stunning and they worked together perfectly. The anamorphic functions in both the S5IIX and Ninja V+ made the setup a dream to work with, even in a run and gun environment like this. I shot the footage completely solo, with no supplementary lighting whatsoever. Just whatever was there. After only a couple of days hands on, I think the Atlas Mercury Series may be my favourite lenses I’ve had the privilege of using to date. As someone that loves a vintage look, what Atlas have achieved here is quite remarkable. Contemporary cinema anamorphic lenses, with character by the bucket load. They really are beautiful - the flares, the distortion, the enhanced bokeh, color rendition, everything. The term 'cinematic' has become a bit of a meaningless catchall but it may well be the best way to describe in one word, the look that you get out of them. Not just that, but they have managed to develop (relatively) small and lightweight anamorphics that can genuinely be used in a run and gun style setup, which is amazing. They also very much brought out the best in the new LUMIX S5IIX too. Given this footage was shot in a completely uncontrolled environment and with natural light only, you can only imagine the kind of performance you would get from this setup in a more controlled setting.I hope you enjoy this little piece, with a poignant message from my favourite philosopher, the legendary Alan Watts. It’s an outlook on life that’s quite personal to me, and something I try to live by as much as I can, so I hope someone out there connects with it also.I’d like to say a massive thanks to the Bish family, and my partner Del, for allowing me to stick a camera on them yet again. You guys are the best, and I love you all. A huge thanks also goes to the guys at @PanasonicLumixVideo , Dan at @AtlasLensCo and @SmallRigGlobal for supplying me with the bits I needed to throw together a workable rig in just a few days.

RECREATING 1917 | REAL MOVIE LOCATION Rowe Films 2023-05-23 | Recreating the iconic opening and ending sequences of 1917, at the actual locations used in the movie. I’ve actually been sat on this for over two years now, so I thought it was about time I put something together!When you work in video production full time, sometimes work takes over and you end up with less time for fun. I’ve always believed it’s important to make time to do things not just for clients, but also play time for YOU, in order to keep the flame burning and basically remind yourself what it is you love so much about filmmaking. When it comes to movies, I’m a proper geek, as this little thing aptly demonstrates. I love travelling to real movie locations and walking in the footsteps of those that inspire me. It's a fun thing to do.So back in April 2021 myself and my pals Alex and Sean took a trip to the actual location used to shoot both the opening and ending of the epic Universal Pictures movie, 1917.Having spent a pretty ridiculous amount of time trying to actually find the real location they used here in southern England, I managed to twist Alex and Sean’s arms into taking a trip to the lone tree, in order to do our own recreation of the iconic ending sequence. Armed with just a Panasonic BGH1 and Ronin gimbal, we tried to get as close as we could with what we had. Of course we'd never be able to replicate it frame for frame, but I'd be happy if we could get even remotely close to the world class cinematography seen in the movie. This was just a really fun day. A great experience, and I even learnt a thing or two, too. It also goes without saying but if you haven’t seen the movie ‘1917’ before, I highly recommend it. It is a genuine filmmaking and storytelling masterpiece. This content is a bit different for the Rowe Films channel, so if you enjoy it, please do let me know in the comments because I have other ideas, and would love to do more of it!Disclaimer: All 1917 footage and audio excerpts featured in this video are property of Universal Pictures and its affiliates.

LUMIX S5 Mark II X | Test Footage | London Launch Event Rowe Films 2023-05-07 | A few test shots & footage from the Panasonic Lumix S5 mark II X launch event in London, UK a couple of days ago. A huge thanks to Lumix for the invite and putting on an awesome event! Special shoutout to my man @JoshCameron who lost his bet. Sorry chap, better luck next time 😝All shot on the brand new LUMIX S5II X. I didn't get too much footage on the night because, well, let's just say the drinks were flowing. First impressions; Super impressed with the low light performance, color, and dynamic range. The IBIS is fantastic too. This footage was all shot at the high native 4000ISO, and it came out super clean. Pretty impressive given the (very) dark venue used for the launch event. It turned out to be a very good test and it will make for a fantastic music video and live event camera, that's for sure.More to come on this one and something exciting lined up, so stay tuned!Tommy Rowe is a partner and ambassador for Musicbed.

A Stranger Things Inspired Video For My Own Band! | LUMIX S5II + GH6 Rowe Films 2023-02-19 | Something a bit different from me. Anyone that knows me personally knows that filmmaking aside, my other massive love/passion in life is music. I don't really make much of that side of me on this channel, but I've been in a covers band here in the UK now for over half of my life. I helped form this particular band when I was 15 years old, to be exact. Music has played a huge part in my life, even earlier than that, since I was just a wee lad. Prior to 2020, we were a band that did 60+ gigs and shows per year, so it was somewhat of a way of life for me. Pretty much every weekend, out with some of your best pals, having a laugh, drinking too much, but doing something you love doing productively and getting paid for it. Let's just say it ticked a lot of boxes for me, for many years, and I've missed it.After a bit of a hiatus, we've now built this band back from the ground up, and are finally ready to get back on the road again. It's taken a lot of time and effort from all involved, basically starting again, but I literally can't wait to get back behind the kit and performing live again. To coincide with the announcement of our return to live performances, we decided to produce a live performance video. Something a bit fun and not too serious, and something that would give those that follow us around here in England a little glimpse of what's to come in what will hopefully be a new chapter.Those that do know me personally also know that I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to film, TV series, movies etc. It all massively inspires my film work, as Im sure you know. I happen to be a big fan of the Netflix series 'Stranger Things' (beautiful filmmaking and I always love 80's vibes). When I heard them do a cinematic remix of Journey's 'Separate Ways' in the last season, I had an idea. That song is one of my favourite Journey tracks ever, so I proposed it to the lads. Thankfully they are top guys and extremely tolerant of my geeky ways, so they agreed to put our own spin on the track, inspired by Stranger Things. The 'cinematic' style intro you hear, I produced myself in Logic Pro X. Using digital instruments, I put together a backing piece with the same vibe as the Stranger Things remix of the track, and I would trigger that live, using the Roland SPD-SX. The rest of the track after the intro sequence, we perform fairly close to Journey's original, but in our own little way.Of course the band's video production falls in my lap, however it's pretty tricky to be both behind the kit and the cameras at the same time. So once again I called in the help of my good mate and fellow camera guy Alex Toze, to operate for me on the shoot.Video wise, I'm sure you will see some of the inspiration I've taken from the show. The titles were animated myself in Final Cut Pro. All in all, this was a really fun little project that combines my two loves in life, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out.The track was performed completely live (excluding the pre-produced intro soundscape I made) and recorded at Tazma Studios in Exeter, UK. As a bit of a side note this time (for a change), we shot all of this footage using both the Panasonic LUMIX S5II, GH6, and GH5S, side by side. As you can see, they work wonderfully together, and cut together beautifully. A fantastic little setup, and great for music video work.Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video and if you have any questions about the work that went into putting this together (there was quite a lot of it!), feel free to smash them in the comments. Oh. We do intend to do more stuff like this going forward and have some big ideas, so if that's your thing, and you'd like to follow the band, please do, that would be totally awesome; @eventineband Thanks guys!

A CASTLE ON A HILL | DJI MAVIC 3 CLASSIC Rowe Films 2023-02-15 | Some test footage from my very first trip out with the DJI Mavic 3 Classic. Thanks to DJI for getting in touch! Stay tuned for more to come. This is just a very quick piece thrown together from my initial flight.My first impressions of this drone are....fantastic. Not only is the functionality incredible, but for me, we are now finally getting to the point where "the drone look" isn't so much of a thing anymore. The footage out of this camera looks generally incredible, and will match well with ground based cameras. Overall the colours, dynamic range, and feel of the footage have improved massively from previous models, and the price represents amazing value too.So these are my very first test shots captured with the Mavic 3 Classic. Myself and Mr Toze took a trip out early on a cold and foggy morning to a local spot that I love. Lawrence Castle in Devon, UK. A 17th century tower built atop of a hill, surrounded by forest. It's an epic spot that gets some awesome weather conditions. Perfect for giving this new drone a test run.Follow: YT: youtube.com/@RoweFilms IG: instagram.com/rowefilms FB: facebook.com/rowefilmsV: vimeo.com/rowefilmsW: rowefilms.com © Rowe Films 2022
THE ICE DAY | LUMIX S5II Rowe Films 2023-02-13 | A stylised, filmic short piece from a winter's day last month, here in the UK. Shot on the new LUMIX S5 mark II, I decided to take a heavily stylised approach to this little piece, in terms of the overall filmic look and heavy film grain emulation. Dare I say, "cinematic"? I also shot it all with one single lens, the vintage 35mm f/2 FD, which is a real beauty and probably my favourite lens that I personally own. Beautifully imperfect! All in all I’ve used a combination of things here that create a look that I personally love. Putting this piece together really helped me test out the new Panasonic camera fully, properly push it around a bit, and see what it's really capable of. I feel like with any new camera, it takes you a while to really get to know it. For me, I find I need to get out and shoot with it, numerous times, in the real world, and in a range of different conditions, before I can really pass judgement. That actually happens to be my only problem with many traditional "reviews", many of which are often limited to studios, with very limited time hands on, and yet findings are often presented as conclusive. That's just not the reality of my experience. Personally I feel like I've got to know the S5II quite well now, and what a great camera it is. Genuinely a fantastic all rounder. The images are beautiful, and so versatile. You really can push it around big time, as I have done in this film, and it holds up beautifully. The images are extremely clean, even in low light, so much so that I find myself actually wanting to rough it up a bit. But that's often the way with me!Anyway I hope you enjoy this little piece. Myself and my mate Mr Toze decided to take some time out and make the most of the wintry conditions by hitting Dartmoor for a hike. One of my favourite things to do. Also happened to provide great conditions to test the camera. Specifically dynamic range, as it was super harsh light and the light/colour changed literally every 30 seconds.Some info below. And as always, feel free to smash any questions in the comments.Camera: Panasonic LUMIX S5 Mark 2Lens: Canon FD 35mm f/2Settings: 4K DCI 24p & 60p 10 bit 422, VLog picture profileFollow: YT: youtube.com/@RoweFilms IG: instagram.com/rowefilms FB: facebook.com/rowefilmsV: vimeo.com/rowefilmsW: rowefilms.com © Rowe Films 2022
LUMIX S5 Mark II + Helios 44M Rowe Films 2023-01-11 | Just a quick one. Driving home yesterday through some local woods, the last of the day’s light was looking quite nice, and there’s no more of it on the cards here, for a while now, so I decided to pull over to catch the last of it. I had some gear with me, including the new LUMIX S5 Mark II so I thought I’d try it out with another vintage lens, this time the Helios 44M.I was on my own and didn’t have a subject to film, so I just had to use the van, otherwise, it’s just trees 😂! This was just a quick test before getting home for dinner, but I got some interesting results, so thought I’d drop some of the footage on here as a quick upload, in case anybody finds it interesting. One of my favourite things to do with any new camera is pair it up with different lens combinations, especially my vintage collection. You can get so many unique and interesting looks with old glass and its always good to see how different cameras handle the more vintage film look that results from using them. It's also sometimes nice to think that I might be the first, and only one to have tried this specific combination, so far. That way you never know what to expect! The Helios is a little diamond in the rough. I’m sure most of you know of it, but for those that don't its an old Soviet era lens that’s famous for it’s interesting character and swirly bokeh. For me, the best thing about vintage lenses is the unique looks you can get. Every single lens is different. Often technically imperfect, but with so much character. And character is what I'm all about. This is very different to what you usually get with many modern lenses, with their optical 'advancement' and superior coatings. Vintage lenses aren't suitable for all commercial work of course, but perfect for those times when you want to get a little more arty, which for me, is pretty often. Like. All the time.This particular lens cost me about 100 smackers all in, and thats including a few mods I’ve made such as an EF conversion, gears, 80mm cine ring, a clean and re-grease. For that money, it really is ridiculous what you’re getting and I recommend you pick one up if you’re interested in dipping your toe into the vintage lens world. If a stylised, characterful film-like look is your thing, this little lens is hard to beat.So I'm pleased to say the S5II + Helios combo works great. Lovely colour. The bokeh looks amazing too, very painterly, and to me its a stronger effect on the full frame sensor, as opposed to what you get with m43 cameras. Another thing I noticed is when the lens is opened right up, it doesn’t just flare wildly, but you also get an interesting light leak too. You don’t get this in the same way on m43 bodies. I reckon this could be quite aesthetically pleasing, used at the right time and in the right way!A nice little test. Hopefully more to come. Feel free to smash questions in the comments.

A New Year | LUMIX S5 II Rowe Films 2023-01-04 | A few quick test shots/footage from the new Panasonic LUMIX S5 Mark 2. I didn't have time to produce anything more substantial this time, but I did manage to pick it up a couple of times over the holidays, so here's a quick one! All footage shot on the LUMIX S5ii, in Vlog, 24p and 60p. Edited in FCPX and graded with film emulation (video to come on this soon). Lenses wise, most of these shots were on the Canon FD 55mm f/1.2, because I'm all about the vintage look, with all of its character and imperfection. The reason I've always shot Panasonic Lumix, is because footage from their cameras always has character.A few shots at the beginning, everything up to 0:36, were on the Panasonic 20-60mm. Despite not really being my bag in terms of general look (modern, very sharp and clinical), I decided to include a few shots as I know many shooters like the clean and sharp, contemporary look. It is a great lens if that's your thing. I haven't had much hands on time with the camera yet, but here's my initial thoughts and feelings;Everything that was great about the original S5, plus more. Amazing image. Extremely versatile image quality, allowing you to dial in your look as desired.Fantastic dynamic range.Impressive low light performance.Very good IBIS with the new 'active' system. I need to play with this more to get my head around how it performs in different settings.Impressively small and light form factor for a body that has a full frame sensor crammed into it.Clever incorporation of a cooling fan in the EVF housing. No worries about overheating then.Auto Focus is not my thing as I prefer to focus manual lenses, however I did try it out. To my eyes, the new Phase Detect system performs extremely well. The shots at the beginning of the dancing and dogs were shot using human and animal tracking. It locked on and stayed with them. Despite not being a priority for me, I'm sure there will be lots of happy people out there. The big one for me is the price. It's a lot of camera for the money. The most important thing for me being image quality, which at this price point, is seriously top notch. Perhaps even unrivalled. So fair play to Panasonic for making such a fantastic product accessible to more people.I look forward to spending some more time with the camera and getting to know it better. As always, any questions, feel free to smash them in the comments. Oh, and happy new year everyone! 🤙Tommy Rowe is a proud Musicbed Ambassador.

A CELTIC LOVE STORY | LUMIX GH6 Rowe Films 2022-12-28 | I haven't shared a wedding film for some time, so thought I'd drop this one! A couple of days before Christmas, I had the pleasure of shooting the Celtic inspired wedding of Lizzie, and fellow Cornishman, James, on the stunning Westcountry coast. As a chap with Celtic blood myself, this was right up my street. All the vibes!I don't shoot many weddings these days, but I've been thoroughly enjoying using the LUMIX GH6 on those that I have worked on. It really is the perfect wedding cinematography camera. For this film, I decided to go with a 2383 film emulation and generally filmic vibe, inspired by the good old days of cinema proper.A huge thanks to @XiomaraCrystal for allowing me to use her stunning track in this preview film.

LUMIX GH6 | The Perfect Wedding Cinema Camera! Rowe Films 2022-09-23 | I don't shoot that many weddings these days, but I have done a handful since the release of the LUMIX GH6. So I thought I'd throw together a little montage of a few shots that I've captured during real wedding shoots, in case anyone would like to see how capable it really is. If there's any wedding filmmakers / cinematographers out there considering the GH6, all I can say is, it's pretty much perfect for weddings. So powerful, amazing imagery, and so much fun to use. No matter the conditions, it just performs. What more can you ask for?Any questions, feel free to smash them below.All footage shot on the LUMIX GH6 and recorded internally. Mostly 4K 60p 10 bit. I use quite a few lenses depending on how I'm feeling but pretty sure the glass used in these shots were mostly;Panasonic Leica 25-50mm f/1.7Canon FD 55mm & 35mmHelios 44MGraded using my own custom LUTs and FilmConvertLike what you see?

Check out my online store for custom LUTs and stay tuned for much more to come! https://rowe-films.sellfy.storeHaving 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 120pLenses: Mostly anamorphic with some shots captured using vintage spherical lenses (more on that in the BTS).

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.Written, shot and edited by Tommy Rowe.

The highly anticipated Panasonic LUMIX GH6. Here is my short film produced for the official announcement. After attending the pre-disclosure event in London at the beginning of the month, I've now had my hands on the camera for a couple of weeks and used it to put together this short film. It was a real pleasure to be involved in the announcement and release of this one, so thanks for the guys at LUMIX for giving me a shout.As soon as it arrived a couple of weeks ago, I shot some test footage and could instantly see that this camera and I are going to get on very well. What a powerhouse the GH6 is. Genuinely fire. The footage has a beautifully cinematic quality, filmic character, everything that I love about the LUMIX look. But more to come on that...As is the nature of this kind of work, I only had a couple of weeks to come up with an idea, plan, shoot, edit and deliver, ready for the announcement tonight. Initially it didn't look like there was much in the way of good shooting conditions for the foreseeable. But then my brother, music for film composer Life In Colour happened to mention he had a new composition in the works, titled 'The Storm'. Low and behold, a matter of hours after we floated the idea, the UK received its first two named storms, both of them in the same week (we actually had a third last night). So, the stars aligned, and it was meant to be.The film was shot entirely on the GH6. We had to brave some brutal (if not slightly treacherous) conditions. In doing so, shooting this piece I have genuinely put the camera through the ultimate test. Storm force winds, torrential rain, hail, angry seas and sea spray by the tonne. Of course the GH6 took it all in its stride, and managed it like an absolute boss. Speaks for itself!It was a lot of fun to produce. Very wet. Very cold. Pretty miserable and borderline savage at times. Working in these conditions is seriously hard work. But fun all the same.

We went all out on this one and tried to step up the production value with some different tech solutions. Even going as far as mounting the setup on an FPV drone, taking the Ninja along for the ride. It required a custom build and a lot of fiddling to make it work. But as far as we're aware, it hasn't been done like this before, so that's cool. Pulling focus wirelessly from a drone was also a new experience for me, so that was fun!Credits:Director/DP - Tommy RoweTalent - Sean HodgeProduction Crew - Alex Toze, Lewis Hendrie, Jamie FarquharsonDrone Operations by Technical FilmsDrone Pilot - Alex JohnstonDrone Gimbal Operator - Chris WattsDrone Camera Operator & 1st AC - Tommy RoweSpecial thanks to Paschoe House, Devon.

ROWE FILMS OFFICIAL CINEMATOGRAPHY REEL 2021 Rowe Films 2021-10-29 | Here's the official Rowe Films cinematography showreel for 2021. Generally speaking I'm not a massive fan of reels, usually being little more than montages of random footage and pretty shots, and usually lacking in 'story' or narrative. It's tough to make it 'feel' something. So I tried to approach mine a little differently, to perhaps give it a bit more substance than just a montage. I dunno. But anyway, it's been a cracking year, and I've been blessed to take on some incredible projects. More to come of course and I'm hoping to add to this before the year is out, so watch this space 😉Cheers Al! Voiceover by Alan Watts. 🔥 Like what you see?

Commercial Product Film | LUMIX GH5S | Sharps Brewery Rowe Films 2021-10-13 | Earlier in the year I was commissioned to produce some promo and advertising material for a new Sharp's Brewery product. Mostly for social media use. The project was called 'Cold River', and involved working underwater and also in the studio. It was fun and a nice change to work on something a bit different as I tend not to take on a huge amount of product videography work. So I thought I'd give it a share!Here's a couple of cuts. My own 'director's cut' and then the full length client deliverable follows immediately after. All footage was shot by myself in camera, no third party assets or stock footage. The brief was to focus on the elements and water - where the river meets the sea. So the imagery focused on quite abstract shots on location, and the edit needed to be dynamic. Quite a focus on sound design also. All the featured footage was shot in camera with no third party or stock assets used. Mostly on the LUMIX GH5S and BGH1, with a lot of the underwater work at 120 & 180 fps on the GH5S. There's a little bit of GH5 footage in there, and we also used a Sony FS7 for a couple of the studio shots. Oh and a Phantom 4 of course. I don't have any BTS stuff from this project unfortunately but as always questions welcome in the comments! 🔥 Like what you see?

Is this the perfect Variable ND solution? Rowe Films 2021-10-11 | 🔥 Like what you see? Check out my online store for custom LUTs and stay tuned for much more to come! https://rowe-films.sellfy.storeThanks to Freewell for sending over their new magnetic variable ND filter system looked pretty innovative and I was interested to give it a try. Get yours here: indiegogo.com/projects/world-s-1st-versatile-magnetic-vnd-camera-filter/reft/13493183/rowefilms The Magnetic VND filter package is an all in one filter system that covers Variable Neutral Density, Circular Polariser and ‘Mist’ diffusion. There are lots of filter products on the market but this seems pretty unique in that it provides you with a solution for various filtration types, boasting 7 features and 20 different functions, plus its magnetic too. Personally I’ve always struggled with screw on ND filters. They can be fiddly and cumbersome, not to mention suffer with issues such as vignetting, colour shifts, and of course the dreaded X pattern. So how does this one stack up and is it something I will be making use of? Is this the best option out there for those that like to use screw on VND? In this video I provide my thoughts and provide some test footage. Full disclosure: Freewell did sent me the product for free, but they are not paying me for a review and will not be seeing it before posting.

Panasonic Leica 25-50mm f/1.7 | Test Footage Rowe Films 2021-08-09 | 🔥 Like what you see? Check out my online store for custom LUTs and stay tuned for much more to come! https://rowe-films.sellfy.storeThanks to LUMIX for sending over a pre-production Panasonic Leica 25-50mm f/1.7 for me to try. This was a lens I was looking forward to getting my hands on. I managed to get out briefly yesterday for a mooch on the beach and brought it along with me to give it a test. It was a quick blast so I’ll try to put something more comprehensive together, but for now, I thought I’d share a bit of test footage and a few shots. My initial thoughts on the lens, in a nutshell: ✅ Perfect companion to the 10-25mm f/1.7✅ Very useful & versatile coverage at approx 50-100mm FF equivalent ✅ Smooth, clickless aperture ✅ Nice shallow DOF & compression at f/1.7 ✅ Very sharp and contemporary look✅ Nicely controlled flaring✅ Internal zoom that doesn’t extend ✅ Solid build quality and high quality feel ✅ Not heavy at all for what is a large unit✅ Decent minimum focus at 0.92ft/28cm✅ Minimal focus breathing 😬 Focus by wire, no hard stops, very short focus throw ❌ No IS, but really wasn’t needed with GH5 IBIS, even at 50mmOverall, the 10-25 paired with the 25-50 would be an amazing combo and you could even get away with using that as a two lens set up which could cover all bases. The 25-50 produces a very sharp, contemporary look, which is amazing if that’s your thing.

Check out my online store for custom colour grading LUTs and stay tuned for much more to come! https://rowe-films.sellfy.storeShot on the LUMIX BGH1 & Atomos Ninja V in ProRes RAW. A quick video thrown together from a recent trip to Dartmoor. Myself and a few local photographers hiked out into the middle of nowhere to visit the house used in Steven Spielberg's 'War Horse'. This is the location they used for the farm in the movie. It looks a little different to how it looks in the film, as the production added a thatched roof etc which is all gone now. But even so it was really cool to see the location that was used for some of the key scenes. After that we hiked up to a nearby Prehistoric monument. A stone row and burial mounds from the Stone Age. Pretty cool stuff. I had the BGH1 and Ninja V with me, so decided to grab some shots. At this point I was still playing with ProRes RAW as a codec so it was a good little test. So instead of letting the shots go to waste, I did a quick cut and grade, and threw this little video together.

At the time I didn't plan on using it as my main camera, but I was surprised how well the BGH1 footage matched the Blackmagic, and the box format works so well rigged up as a 'cinema camera' when shooting in a controlled environment.

Colour Grading ProRes RAW | Tutorial & Walkthrough Rowe Films 2021-04-08 | 🔥 Like what you see? Check out my online store for custom colour grading LUTs and stay tuned for much more to come! https://rowe-films.sellfy.storeFurther to my last BTS video, here's how I colour graded the short film 'KERNOW', produced in partnership with Panasonic Lumix and Atomos, shot on the BGH1 & Ninja V, which now support ProRes RAW. This was my first time working with ProRes RAW footage, and it was an absolute dream. As someone who is used to working with normal ProRes codecs as well as Panasonic V-Log, I was surprised how familiar it felt, being able to quickly convert the RAW footage to V-Log/V-Gamut directly in the settings of Final Cut Pro X. Now I'm looking forward to doing more experimentation and working directly with the RAW footage, to see what results I can get without doing the Log conversion. It will be interesting to see if it changes my color grading workflow. The BGH1 produces a beautifully cinematic image, it's an absolute beast paired up with Ninja V and has slotted straight into my setup. 12 bit ProRes RAW, what more could you ask for?Watch the KERNOW short film here: youtube.com/watch?v=dhy-T87VjVU Behind The Scenes: youtube.com/watch?v=jiwnIPONK8M#ProResRAW #ColorGrading #Colourgrading #LUMIX #AtomosFootage shot on the LUMIX BGH1 and the Ninja V, BTS footage shot on the LUMIX GH5.

KERNOW | Short Film with LUMIX & Atomos | BGH1 & Ninja V Rowe Films 2021-03-18 | Produced in partnership with Panasonic LUMIX & Atomos. ‘Kernow’ is a short film created by Tommy Rowe. A film about a part of the world that is very special. It was a true honour to work with the guys at Panasonic LUMIX & Atomos in the run up to the official announcement of new firmware that opens up ProRes RAW to the BGH1 & Ninja V. The already awesome BGH1, goes full on BEAST mode! Except the handful of drone shots, all footage was shot on the BGH1 and Ninja V in ProRes RAW. As a GH5 & GH5S shooter, I found this combo an absolute delight to use. As for my thoughts on working with ProRes RAW, well, I have more on this coming shortly in a Behind The Scenes video, plus other content, so stay tuned for all that good stuff. 🔥 Like what you see?

It can quite literally trigger inspiration for new video projects, and it also completely sets the tone of any video. As you will see in this video, it’s a tale of two halves, so be sure to watch to the end.

Check out my online store for custom colour grading LUTs and stay tuned for much more to come! https://rowe-films.sellfy.storeYou may have seen that I recently picked up a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K to add to my set up. I had a load of old gear knocking around so decided to have a clear out, trade it all in and pick one of these up. I was pretty sure I'd make good use of it and I've always been a fan of the Blackmagic look. As a MFT shooter, I decided the 4K was probably a better fit for me over the 6K. So far so good.Here's some test footage from my first trip out with the camera. I have a lot to say about it but my first impressions are great - I love the look of the footage, and I think we are going to get on very well. My good friend and I, Alex Toze (he's a Sony Photographer but we won't hold it against him), headed up to Dartmoor National Park during some wild wintry weather and it was a great opportunity for me to bring the Pocket along and shoot my very first shots with the camera. In a nutshell, I'm really glad I decided to pick one of these up. The cinema camera format seems to work well for me and I think it will slot into my LUMIX micro four thirds set up perfectly.I have to say, the Blackmagic Design look really is lovely. The colours are a bit different to what I'm used to grading, so I'm going to need a bit of time doing tests and getting used to how the footage behaves before I'll be happy with the look. I'll be tweaking my custom LUT's but for a quick first attempt, this will do.Let me know what you think in the comments!

Episode 2 of my cinematic video diary series, perhaps? I'm not really too sure of the purpose of these films, all I know is I enjoy producing them. A break away from client work and back to back edit sessions. I recently took an evening walk with my better half to a place called Bellever Forest, Dartmoor National Park in the UK. I decided to bring the GH5 along with me and I'm glad I did, because we had some incredible conditions - beautiful golden light and a stunning mist descended in the valley and above the river. Those who follow my work know how much I love Dartmoor and there are so many spots I want to explore over the winter, so more like this to come I'm sure.

KRIS-MAS | CINEMATIC TRAILER BY ROWE FILMS | LUMIX GH5S Rowe Films 2020-12-07 | The LUMIX GH5S shows off its low light muscles in this short teaser trailer I produced for the awesome Kris Barras Band. Kris wanted a highly cinematic trailer for his upcoming 'Kris-Mas' show, an online ticketed event. Using some footage we shot at one of his live shows last year, plus a little impromptu night shoot in Torquay, England, I put together this little promo for him. As the shoot was quite last minute, we had very little in the way of lighting to make use of, apart from a couple of little Aputure MC's, so it was all about finding some good practical lights on location. The trailer video is all about hyping up the show, which I hope it does. Anyway, I hope you like it. As always, questions and comments most welcome. All footage shot on the LUMIX GH5S.
