Zach Goodwin

oh they know what aliasing is - we drum it into them before every interview on what to wear ie: no checks or stripped shirts or fine lines etc.. they all know.. :P

Stop shooting with ISO 6500 on a t2i and you won't need noise reduction. ?

Zach is in the X-Men and therefore defies all expectations.
I'm also interested in the 360 cam stuff. I expect Sony to release 458 of them in the next year.

They had some new breakthroughs recently...
 

This, definitely

I don't like to take sides in bitch fights, but I believe you will turn out to be correct.  You see the exact same thing DSLR raw files at native resolution when pushed.  Chroma noise reduction is needed at the very least.  People forget that "low light" cameras like the A7S will have a shit ton of noise reduction applied.
And unfortunately I seriously wonder whether black magic would test a new pocket cam before they send it out.  They are probably just taking the customer at their word that their is an issue and rolling the roulette wheel with a replacment.  There is a good chance the replacement will be just the same or even worse.

I made some luts for the way that I expose s-log that makes skin look perfect with just a drag n drop. I made a couple different once with a kodak and fuji look.
But if the WB is of by just a hair, it turns to garbage.

I still dont use it
Ive never used it on TV either accept for one time.
This is my ecperience as well. Thats why I started the thread. Never knew people used it on everything. For me its an emergency tool, like stabilization, never use that either unless I absolutely have to.
Guess Im becoming old school

I think a used C300, Red One MX, or Battle-tested Kinemini 4K are your best options. Kinemini has the best overall IQ and flexibility; RED has brand recognition and 4K; and the Canon is super popular with clients and offers a solid image with little fuss.

The Ursas are really cool and create great images, but imo aren't quite ready for prime time yet...and that's coming from one of the biggest BM apologists out there. 

I've fiddled with a free way to kind of roundabout denoise a bit.. (basically find the edges and slightly blur everything else). it was probably more educational than functional. though it definitely helped - the t3i has enough artifacts that it really made quite a difference. I would use it more for sure if I had the time. less likely to use it on a portrait, when the loss of detail and texture starts to hurt. and pretty much need to add grain

Here, try this on for size & so you can compare with yours - from my pocket really low light test (its anamorphic so change the vertical height - divide by 1.5). Shot with a Nikon 24mm @ f2.8 & Isco 54. This is stressed & I would never shoot like this, grade or even use this.

I raised the first by 5 stops, raised the highlight compression to 16, moved brightness to 60, Local contrast to 10 & contrast to 5 - all done in RPP. The second, I did the same but took some contrast out. This is RAW so ISO/ASA doesn't count

So many F**KHeads about!
People post sub standard screen grabs & no info about what they were trying to do - unrealistic shit stress test in the first place.
Then you go out of your way to upload a DNG file so that they can compare with what they have. Then you get this sort of shit from them.
Yeah F**K OFF!

Don't know how others grade but to me its 100% relevant. Did a grade that usually looks nice but the codec fell like a house of cards.
Its a trial and error until I know and that just takes to much time
So I just did a quick thing treating it as rec709. Nothing special, leveled it 1 degree as well.

No there's nothing wrong with you, i'm LMAO most of the time!
Its a shame sarcasm doesn't really translate online...
But seriously, this function is an idiot's wet dream, it beats 4k 8bit recording technology hands down.
 

Thanks, Yeah i hear ya. Its just i got access to both camera's with zeiss compact primes. So it is not a cost thing. 
Strange that I hear the 5d is better at grading, I should test that as grading will be a important factor. 
The only thing that scares me is the highlight rolloff of the c100. The highlights are quite hard edged in comparison with the 5d.
About exposing the  c100 and the 5d. I should not worry about overexposing 2 stops like the a7s or underexposing a stop on the gh4 for getting the best image am i?

I had a tough day out filming with it today ;-)


(totally stock camera however)

Here's a video that compares the dynamic range LS300 against some "affordable" cameras. Don't know if I would call the FS5 affordable, but still interesting to see the dynamic of this camera in JLog.  I'm impressed with what this camera can do. Yes, this guy tried to match the cameras as best he could, which might not be the someone else would have done the comparison, but still worth looking at as a data point.
 
 

Canon is on the right track with this camera. The form factor is great. Just put a bigger sensor in it (super35 or fullframe) and make it interchangeable ef mount, so we can use the tons of lenses we already bought. Also it would be great to have dual pixel tech in it and the possibility to remove the hand grip so it gets more gimbal drone friendly. But there is a big problem with this concept, it kills the c100 line of cameras.  

I am going to snooze thru this announcement, recently the big news was Canon released a camera that cannot even match the quality and features of theT2i after almost ten years of canon "development" at the same price. I use 3 Canon cameras now, they are great due to Magic Lantern however I cannot imagine buying more canon lenses or camera bodies, they are not competitive in my mind. I think any announcement from Canon will be that digital filmmakers will have to pay a mega thousands of dollars for their camcorders and that their dslr and mirrorless cameras are for photos only. For those of us that swing both ways (video and photo) you are sore out of luck. That is why I have been uninterested in any model below $4k and so not interested in their latest cameras and I have taken to heart the Canon philosophy that dslr and mirrorless filmmakers do not matter.

I shot this a few months ago.
Looking to get some feedback on it before I start filming a bigger project in the next few weeks.
Hope you enjoy it. Let me know whats up.

Not really. 
Some clients ask for 4K, but they just ask because it's the latest technological buzzword they see advertised. 
Slow motion gets asked for a lot, as does certain styles of lighting. 

Never lost a frame.

It is a dangerous world out there....

I would like to hear more about this sci-fi film. 

Part of a short movie I´m working.
Hope you like it.
