I thought the lighting, acting and cinematography was fantastic. If I shot this or had anything to do with this movie, I would be proud.

My Go Cuba vid was all shot in this setting...

It's funny, without all of the glitter and camera moves it's just a girl singing stationary on the stage. Pretty boring to watch live I would assume.

it's even worse than that. She has to turn around to follow the camera so at times she has her back to the audience. I guess the priority is the tv audience.

Hi Ed, I really enjoyed your film. I love the voice over and the feel of the video. It kept me glued the whole time. If I may say one thing. Just my opinion, but I would have loved to have had more anonymity of which city you were talking about. Every time you said nyc it made me come out of the story a little bit. Other than that, I loved it!

​Please tell me more about the 3d printed focus and aperture gears? How do I go about getting them for my own set of lenses?

Lovely video with one of the coolest openers ever. Great work!

Hey guys, I just posted my new vid called GO Cuba. It was shot with an A7s in Cine4, Pro colour mode. Hope you like it.
 
PS. How do you embed videos again?
EOSHD replies: Just paste the URL in. If it doesn't work first time, edit the post, remove the hyperlink from the Vimeo URL and paste the URL back in again, then press enter to go onto a new line and the video should show up.

Thanks, ​I shot almost everything on an old crappy Vivitar 28mm f2. It's not a great lens, but it worked.

Thanks everyone. I layered grain over everything up until the fireworks. Everything after that is a7s grain. The sound is layered on clip by clip. I use sounds from freesound.org as well as I record my own. The sound usually takes longer than the edit and grade. I am getting pretty fast at those, but sound takes time.
I am not sure if I can recommend a tutorial. I would say go and watch Matty Brown's videos and listen to what he does. He is brilliant!

Thanks, I am pretty sure you will love it. We have been to SA as well Cuba just as amazing and maybe a little better. It's hard to beat Bolivia though ​
 
​Thanks Zach, I am Canadian so we just flew from our home town. I believe that Americans (if that is where you are?) can fly to Mexico or Jamaica and then take another flight to Cuba. It's a bit more effort, but well worth the travel. It is like stepping back in time. Sadly I am pretty sure things will be changing very quickly over there.

OMG that looks amazing! I can't wait to see it!

Thanks Zach. I am pretty happy about it!

I have to disagree strongly... Stop sharing? If you learned from the internet and now are at a place where you can contribute back then you should. I learned something a long time ago. If you are always worried about other people catching up to you then you aren't progressing enough.

might have to render an intermediate file with something like ffmpeg, which supposedly supports using LUTs, although i haven't tried it.. and it's freeeeee!
 
ffmpeg -r 24 -y -i my_sgamut_video.mov -vf lut3d="/path/to/my_downloaded_lut.3dl" -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -pix_fmt yuv420p /path/to/render/drive/i_hope_it_works.mov

"I can reproduce the issue on a color ramp chart and it appears to be a significant discontinuity that only exists in the blue channel a few stops before clipping, right before the point where the highlight primary color shifting issue takes place. It is different from the highlight primary color shifting issue* which I have seen in nearly all Sony cameras. The issue seems to occur in all picture profiles with all gamma curves and all color modes even including Black & White. It also occurs in PP OFF if creative style is set to Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, and Night Scene. The issue does NOT seem to occur in CLEAR, DEEP, LIGHT, BLACK & WHITE, SEPIA, and AUTUMN LEAVES. Alternatively, the issue seems most greatly affected by white balance, where in my tests the issue was greatest around 2500K and quickly diminished as WB was adjusted upwards and the issue seemed nearly imperceptible by around 4700K.
Currently I'd say if you are in situation with strong blue lights and are experiencing the issue first try increasing your whitebalance or switch to PP OFF and a creative style of CLEAR, DEEP, LIGHT, BLACK & WHITE, SEPIA, or AUTUMN LEAVES.

*I also see the normal primary color highlight issues that Sony cameras have where blue highlights go cyan and red highlights go yellow etc. Interesting that particular issue seems to be solved by using REC709(800%) gamma, though it seems to fix the issue simply by clipping off all the highlights where such lights would be an issue... Oddly the issue is fixed in my FS700 by using slog2, but while Slog2 and Sgamut seem to minimize the issue on the A7s, it still exists.

Also I would caution against using Color Depth B+7 to fix the issue as it doesn't seem to remove the crazy blues, only to bring the entire blue channel up to the clipped blue saturation level that occurs in the issue. It will likely make your colors look ridiculous like anything blue is a bright flat blue cutout. In my test, Color Depth just shifted where the issue seemed to appear in the luma and WB range."

This was shot with a D600 which is most likely worse in 720p and other than the aliasing it looks pretty good...
