Arthur Woo Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi All, Had some time to test this out at an informal event yesterday. Very impressed with what's possible. Workflow can be a nightmare for longer shoots. Here are my thoughts/unscientific tests: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tyY5mEC9bns[/media] nahua 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtinMinorKey Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The overall quality of the individual shots wasn't the best I've seen, but you do a great job showing how improved the raw is over the original codecs, which i assume was your main goal. Well done. The moire on the bricks was a little bit stronger than i expected, and how much did you sharpen in post? Also, was this full-frame or the crop?

David Slade told me, via Twitter, that (at least on the episodes he's directed of Hannibal so far) he felt the need to sharpen Alexa footage because 1920x1080 looked soft to him. For budget and time they're shooting in its ProRes 444 mode to avoid external recording and the costs (time+money) associated. But I see what you did there ;) andy lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a serious shoot tomorrow which I will take more time to carefully plan shots out for, so stay tuned for that. I did an unsharp mask, around 40%, 1.5 radius. It wasn't much over the original footage. Full frame 1920 x 1080 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like that aesthetic, you don't have to do it for your footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
