I have to say that I really like the image overall, especially the colours. That dirt track browns and foliage greens look very natural.

Some interesting news about Shogun future updates(around 5min:50sec) from Atomos CEO Jeromy Young. 

I'm not a big fan of facebook comments or any other social networks variations and if that is a requirement, to me it's better as it is now. I understand your worries about inflation of trolls if you enable regular comments below posts, so again it's maybe best to leave it like this. Just my opinion.

Beautiful image but the price not so beautiful.

Affordable and good RAM for iMac, Macbook Pro etc.

OWC - http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/ - I have it and it`s great in my mid 2011 21.5 iMac and they tested and verified that you can put 32GB(4x8) no matter that Apple says 16GB

OWC also has external thunderbolt raid storage with good prices:

Still that green/yellow problem in skintones on most of the models on my imac, just like in that clip with P. Bloom in it.

Thanks, jcs and sudopera. 

@jcs but, but, but what about macroblocking and colored noise? and how do I ADD noise? are there actually products on the market for adding noise? It sounds absurd really - I don't think I could watch my clips if they were any noisier than they already are!

On top of the page you have free film grain for download, here is the link:

http://www.vision-color.com/free-stuff/

Put the clip with grain on top of your main clip, set the blend mode to overlay and adjust opacity to your liking

Okay, but whether I add grain before or after the LUT, how do I know what FCPX is doing, since there are no nodes, I don't know what it's prioritizing! And is there a difference between applying the LUT to an adjustment layer rather than directly over the clip? I thought adjustment layers were just for convenience - you know, to apply the same look to a bunch of clips at one time rather than individually.

As I understood, if you want to color correct footage before you apply the LUT, you have to put it on the adjustment layer because in fcp effects applied directly to clip always have priority over color board so RT adjustment layer is a workaround for that. If you use scanned grain as a separate clip above your main footage and put LUT above those two clips on the adjustment layer, then I think LUT is the last thing that affects the image.

@jcs but... Sherif says if clips aren't denoised before applying LUT, you can get macroblocking and colored noise (actually, I've been shooting with NR at lowest setting and not bothering with Neat Video, and I never noticed these defects when using LUTs- not to say they weren't there), but it's the banding that annoys me. So - add noise first - how? Or are you pulling my leg?

Maybe you could try to denoise, then apply grain directly to clip and put LUT on the adjustment layer above the clip.

@sudopera very nice clips and nice design too. A pretty talented guy, that Sherif Mokbel. I already have several packages of LUTs, but I may pick these up too sometime. I tried his method with Osiris Jugo, that is, denoising with Neat Video before applying the LUT and adding some grain afterward, and got very good results. But when I tried uploading to YouTube to share, the whole clip was dark and reddish looking. I may try again this afternoon. He also confirmed what I'd already suspected - that LUTS can introduce banding: I'd already seen it in the forehead of one of the musicians in my latest video. I was hoping that adding a bit of grain would help, but not at all.

I saw no issues with Jacob Nielsen's 10bit footage, only thing that I noticed is that all the film stocks (didn't try Lomo stocks, fcp crashes) except Kodak Vision3 5219 made the lips and cheeks of the girls in Jacob Nielsen's footage look dark brownish red, but in reality the color is pinkish. Kodak 5219 looks nice to me, colors are right and the change is subtle but footage loses some of that digital look, I think it's a good starting point to my grade. I don't own a GH4 so can't test possible banding issues.

I've just seen some of your other work and am HIGHLY impressed! You have a terrific sense of colour, framing and all that jazz. Can you tell me what lenses you use? Especially for things like

Look at these two beauties on GH4:

And by the way, does someone know what is the difference between these 3 besides different design:

Thanks for the advise guys :) Just bought the Basic edition and it works a treat. Bringing out colour I didn't even think was captured.

Delboy used to say "He who dares, wins", over here we could say "He who shares, wins" :)

I've played a bit with ImpulZ and Jacob Nielsen's GH4 footage, small corrections on the clips, VisionColor grain on top set to overlay(10% opacity) and Kodak Vision3 5219 FC LUT(GH4 CinelikeD profile) on the RT adjustment layer. Here is the link for the ProRes 422HQ file download: https://copy.com/4P2WKLyAXo7U

Sudopera, that's an awesome tip. I hadn't heard of the RT adjustment layer, thanks for that. One major advantage that your method has over my idea of using compound clips, is that while you are doing the pre-LUT colour grade, in the Viewer you can see the effects of your grade after the LUT has been applied. When you're inside a compound clip, the Viewer only shows the results of that layer, and you have to exit the clip to see how the  primary grade looks after it has been through the LUT.

I saw your post earlier and thought maybe there is some way to have an adjustment layer in fcp. Then I googled it and here it is, great stuff :)

Just found a way to use an adjustment layer in FCPX, used it with VisionColor LUT-s and renders much faster this way. Also you can make your primary corrections directly on the clip and put LUT on the layer. Here is the link for the custom made adjustment layer: http://www.rippletraining.com/using-the-adjustment-layer-title-in-final-cut-pro-x.html

Really like these ImpulZ LUT-s by the way

I dont know about using them on the GH4 but I will never buy them again. I bought 6 of the Micro SD Cards for some in car cameras for the Baja 1000 that our company was hired to help with for a team. They failed about an hour into filming, sad but good for us the team didnt make it much farther then that so it wasnt as bad as it could have been. 

Thanks for the info. It seems that it could be one of those hit and miss situations because they have 5yr warranty.

@com21 Thanks for your answer. I suppose they should work with 100 Mbit/s 4K, but probably not with ALL-I 200 Mbit/s 1080p.

I have found these on B&H and they are quite inexpensive:

Customer reviews on B&H are all positive so I'm interested, are they reliable and would they work with GH4 4K?

No its the nature of promist filter which has very fine particle that will diffuse the light a little bit. So more of it and there will be more diffusion effect. Shane hulburt has a nice article on the different filters on his blog.

I believe Inazuma's question was how there is no glow on the bulb in the shot without filter.

All I can think of is that the bulb is dimmed or lower wattage, maybe some milky coating on the glass. Probably someone has a better explanation.

Edit: Also I suppose that everything is placed further away from the black background, so light from the bulb doesn't spill on the background.

Just found this, nice demonstration. They are working on making 4K version available.

My main issue with this is that I license music for my commercial videos(mostly from Envato) and every time I upload, I will have to prove that I own a license for music to a video based website that is not an owner of those rights. Bureaucracy, bureaucracy... why make it easy, when you can make it more complicated.
