D.M.Weiss Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thank you Andrew for all of the knowledge you've passed along over the years. We chose the NX1 and SLR Magic Anamorphot adapters, because of your reviews. After some simple tests with different lenses we were able to really dial it in. Here is a link to the trailer. https://vimeo.com/138589715 Check it out, if you get a minute. All the Best!David Flynn and Liam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.M.Weiss Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thank you Marco! We really appreciate it. We're starting with film festivals and then hopefully distribution. We'll keep everyone up to date as we go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If you have time, please share more of your technique (grading, stabilizing, lenses, etc). Thx!!! D.M.Weiss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.M.Weiss Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Absolutely Marco. We used the Samsung 60mm and 30mm lenses. These two worked the best out of everything we tried. Which honestly surprised me a bit. We used the Blackbird for stabilized motion shots. Manfrotto tripods for our locked down shots. I graded in AE using a combination of Magic Bullets Colorista II, Film Convert, and Adobe lumetri colors. We are pushing things more on the feature and we are using Resolve for some of that. For lighting, Aaron my gaffer used two Arri 300, 650, and a 1k plus Switronix TorchLed lights and Rosco gels and diffusion. Hope this helps.

Marco Tecno Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Great insights! Thx! So you did not use the log lut by andrew, for nx1? Which were your base settings for the flattest possible profile, in camera? Which iso for indoor shooting?As to the lenses. 60mm is mechanically coupled for manual focus, but how did you work with 30mm? It's a gorgeous lens, but by-wire focus makes it hardly usable for video, in my experience (but I'm a 'dummy') :-P P.s. if you own it, try the 85mm. Gorgeous lens indeed.

D.M.Weiss Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 No, unfortunately we didn't have his log lut yet and we finished principal photography in May, so we didn't have all of the updates either. I did purchase Andrew's e-book though and it's been great. We used the gamma DR for more dynamic range. We occasionally went to 800 ISO, but we were lighting to the subject not the room, so we hardly ever had to go that high. We took sharpness to -7. I found that the -10 sharpness to be too low on a few shots making it hard to find focus. Yeah the 30mm can be a pain, but I really liked the imagery with SLR Magic adapter. We never racked focus, so it wasn't too bad finding the sweet spot. Agreed. It looks like a great lens. Thanks Marco! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
