Samsung Galaxy s8 for filmmaking and it do the job let’s find out Music is this a tool that can actually work for you depending whether you’re doing narrative documentary or even vlogging I personally like it for wide shots in b-roll I like it on a gimbal but I’m not as much of a fan and a narrative Talking to see a lot of the skin tone you’re going to see a lot more details and the rendering of those skin tones is not going to be as good with the tiny little lens that’s built into it there are attachment lenses but those are just like magnifying glasses on top of the lens which can give you an effect like a fisheye for skateboarding videos of that sort of thing.
Which works great but it’s not a real cinematic solution for narrative or even documentary in my opinion now actually shooting the s8 has a thing about pro mode is you can control white balance ISO shutter speed manual focus or auto and each one of those settings you can choose to leave it at auto so it’s kind of nice you can set it to auto or dial in an exact value that you want as far as the camera resolution the forward-facing camera can do 4k options internally it’s 64 gigabyte which is quite a bit but you are shooting in 4k.
I’m suggesting 2k it still fills up I haven’t actually had to fill out yet but you do have an option for a microSD card and you can do up to 256 gig now you’re going to want to make sure you get 95 megabit per second or faster there’s specific specs on the cards that you should get you spend a little more money on cards that are capable of I think this is a great phone for vlogging for two reasons one the rear facing camera does up to 2k resolution and two the sound quality if you listen this is almost like as if I’m Mike but it’s not that’s all from the phone itself no additional mic so I thought I’d do a little experiment and I threw this Galaxy s8 onto a gimbal and well take a look [Music] [Music] overall I think it’s a solid filmmaking solution especially for a smartphone but what do you think you own an s8 have you seen other users footage please post links or your comments down below I’d love to hear what you think and I’d love to see your videos and if you like filmmaking videos be sure to subscribe and thank you so much for watching.
