Hanna Saba:Check out my behind the scenes video of a pre wedding shoot using the NEW Sony 70200 f2.8 G Master. Filmed with the a6300 and sony 4k action

Juha:This video was shot mostly on Sony A7RII with 55mm f/1.8 and 35mm f/2.8 Sony Zeiss. A few shots were filmed on A7s with Sony Zeiss 24-70 f/4. It was entirely shot in S – Log 2 mostly at 60 fps some shots were filmed at 120 fps and scaled up. I edited it in Premiere CC and used D-Luts and Lumetri for Grading. It is really convenient using these type of compact but capable cameras for a shoot like this – it was all shot handheld. Our intention was to make a Music video which is more like a short film, as the music is a non album track and rather a sound collage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4YkyxcV6-U
