    @kidzrevil Well thanks for taking a bit to check it out! Convictions often prevent us from even opening the door!
    At the end of the day, we are all our own master and commander, and that's for the best.

    On another note about browser accuracy...someone posted this in the fb color grading group.
    Could be of some help, but haven’t tried it yet.

    Hi, you are right.
    Your LUT is really accurate in terms of color e.t.c, I just posted my view on possible grading to achieve more 16mm look (like in video reference) 
  10. Thanks
    JeremyDulac reacted to Sage in GH5 to Alexa Conversion   
    When there is no reference white, this is actually a good way to tell if WB neutrality (before the conversion) needs an adjustment. After the conversion, there shouldn't be a need to correct for color balance (rosiness of cheeks, brown rather than green hair). This visual judgement check on results is limited by the accuracy of the monitor, but it is a good indicator. Vectorscope is always a good objective assessment.  And when WB is on point, the conversion can really lock in.
    WB will not only incorporate the nature of the source, but also the reflected alteration to the source. For example, if you are standing in a yellow wall paper room with window sky daylight providing general illumination, this will be a distinct white balance from the GH5 day WB preset

    Hey thanks! I definitely dig the contrast you have added and will take a look at those adjustment layers..suppose it was just a taste thing when i was exporting. Im constantly trying to shape a look for myself ha. 
    As far as the grain goes, i use gorilla grain. For these its at 100% opacity, but i use the hsl qualifier in resolve and key the grain out of the shadows which helps it be less overwhelming and is actually more how true film grain responds.

    A few more stills - this time no print luts...just 16mm grain and a slight curve per Alex's document recommendation. The more I look at these images and watch 16mm films on Vimeo, the more I feel like the color characteristics are really reminiscent of 16mm. Pretty neat! Not to say the images don't model the Alexa well, but the Alexa is also modeling film for the most part. I can't get over how good your highlight roll off is in this lut. My one question would be, do you recommend un-ganging the rgb curve in Resolve and just doing a luma curve, or should I keep it ganged??
    I saw this 16mm film this morning:

    Great stills from David today; he just got Firecrest NDs, which are the reference choice for full spectrum NDs (how the conversion was done), and shoots All-I 4K to a new Angelbird V90 SD card

    Oh yes; definitely the WB sliders (or eyedropper); it a whole different bit o' code

    Hey Jeremy, those look great! In terms of RGB curves, you can leaved them ganged (for Pdf purposes). If you start grading for a look, then feel free to use them as desired
    How are you setting WB? I think neutrality might be off a touch (you can confirm the effectiveness of an eyedrop correction while looking at the Vectorscope) Eyedropping different areas of a white object can achieve different results; the ideal being to choose an area that is most representative of the nature of light in the scene, or on the main subject

    These two have Grain plates instead of FilmConvert grain because FC softens the image.

    Yes, if its the case. Though they didn't mention any change to color in the update list, so maybe its only a rumor (I hope)
    They look solid! I'll see if I can track one down to measure.
    The GH5 work has certainly paved the way for it
    I just find the color so stunning hehe. I like that more neutral print.
    I am of course a fanatic of the native EC, as I had tailored it to be my dream color base. It just looks so good here

    I heard that, and I'm thrilled about that (I ended up shooting VLog bursts at a stills shoot)
    I'm also terrified that they may have altered the color science to match the S.
    I'm going to do a measurement pre and post to confirm or deny whether this is the case.

    What I'm able to do is precisely match the LogC format, and add a rich neutral starting point (EC). Its true though, that there is a lot that goes into the magic of a cinematic image. I've seen some visually terrible Alexa films shared on forums; those were funny and eye-opening, because they reveal that the Alexa can only do so much for a production. I think its likely they effectively had no color backend, which the EC component addresses. Though all the factors come together to make a great image -
    The great DP, who
    - Uses great organic lenses
    - Frames well (with motion)
    - Lights beautifully
    Costume and Set Designers (with a budget), who
    - Coordinate the color palette in concert with the story atmosphere, and the colorist's intention
    And a great Colorist, who
    - Carefully balances (with restraint and good taste) all shots with each other
    - In service of a singular atmospheric concept for the scene
    I do think these are very attainable. And when a production is in motion, its really pretty cool what will result as they all come together.

    Here are the goods - as they are Log, they are best looked at in Vectorscope/Waveform, or with matched boosted saturation & contrast to verify that they are the real deal

    I think that's my favorite still you've posted. Totally sick (in a good way)
    And thank you very much! I might bring the Emotive Color component to Alexa users, as many crews likely don't get the best from LogC
