Hi Max are you happy with your new gear ? Perhaps your"adopt a cat" would make a fun 60 second clip for youtube. -
Thanks! My film nerd friend also said that this was basically there, and that after YT compression it would be indistinguishable. I'm actually really stunned as I figured that this project would end with me being happy I got a film look of some kind and everyone else giving up because I was so far away! I'm also sort-of stunned because the FLC and other plugins don't get this close and all I did was write a random noise generator and then a gaussian blur and we're there. My plan is to keep going and emulate as much as I can, including the full image pipeline, so filters / lenses / film / colour grading / etc. The way I've structured the grain is that it's at pixel-level on the timeline so to go from 16mm to 35mm all I have to do is lower the amount of grain and back off the softening, then back off the halation and bloom and gate weave etc, but if it looks good at 16mm it should be fine at 35mm where it's all much more subtle. 8mm is the same, but just turning everything up. Everything is tuneable, so adjusting things isn't that hard once you know which controls are the ones you want. Top row is diffusion, then 4 nodes for the lens emulation, then FLC and gate weave, then 4 nodes for the grain and softening, then CST to 709 output. I've started making a list for v8: Play with diffusion to simulate netting / diffusion filters Add CA to the lens emulation (already done) Lessen the amount of blur (I have some great S16 samples now to compare with) Add film dirt and damage, like scratches etc. There's an OFX plugin for this, so should be straight-forward and I plan to go subtle with it Really analyse my sources, including comparing the 1000Mbps scan my friend gave me to what I see in Resolve, and also comparing the YT samples I've downloaded to the YT version of my emulation (to compare apples-to-apples). I'll also start using better footage 🙂 As everything is tuneable, making a number of variants makes sense, potentially at 8mm / 16mm / 35mm, but also other variations too. Other things that are on my mind are things like bleach bypass, split toning (which Resolve doesn't seem to have a good answer for), and maybe some B&W options too. The FLC can do bleach bypass and potentially the B&W looks, but the split-toning might have to be another custom DCTL. Thanks! Great to get an additional perspective 😄 -

Just watched Spike Lee's "meh" Highest 2 Lowest last night. Well, about half of it. Anyway, there was a collection of 16mm in one of the sequences. This looks footage definitely looks like that footage, so I'd say you're on target. -

Bravo! I like this version the most. The grain seems more convincing somehow. (It's hard to describe why.) I think the grain could be dialled back a touch in a few of the shots but it'll depend on what you're doing with it I suppose. I'm watching it 4K which shows the grain nicely and when I switch it to 480p, there's no grain at all but the colours and levels of brightness still look like it might've been shot on film. I think you're there (or perhaps very close.) You might want to create a handful of variations on this so you can choose different ones for different content to see which one works best for any given clip. -
There's some truth to that, but I think GoPro are a different breed. Still, it's not a popularity contest. Seems sensible! What sort of shooting would you do with it? My impression is that something like this is best placed to do things that larger cameras can't do, otherwise it'd be better to use those as they'll have nicer DR, codecs, etc etc. It seems like the advantages this might have would be the size, the crop factor (if that's what you're going for), and maybe the slow-motion which some people have said isn't really available elsewhere. I have shot a lot on small cameras and enjoyed trying to push things to their limits, including shooting stills on my GoPro 3, which despite not even having a screen still worked really well for street photography (the secret was burst mode). When you see the camera YouTubers they all have a similar mindset that comes from constantly standing around in public talking to large cameras on tripods (or being filmed by someone else) so size doesn't really matter in that sense and they'll just rig everything up. If, on the other hand, you're going out with a camera for more than a week or two before the NDA lifts, you've got time to learn it and learn how to use it and how it influences you to shoot etc, so you can rig it (or not) in the best way possible for its logical use.
