mercer Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hardly an issue, but am wondering if anyone has noticed the blue channel lags behind the red and green channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Micro has less usable DR than the 5D MK3 raw which is rated at 11.7 stops by DXOmark. It's also clear that the Micro is slightly noisier than the Pocket. The C300ii says 15 but there is serious noise issue. The 5D3 in my experience has higher DR than the pocket or micro, just because it is so clean in the shadows. It's pretty amazing...

I ask because I only knew that since the filter pattern is 50% green, 25% red and 25% blue, green screen work better then blue screen with digital cameras, but other then that I'm totally ignorant about it.

I think the blue filter lets through less light. Another thing is that depending on the light, there can be very little blue.

I'm looking between the 95mbs extreme pro 64gb, or lexar 64gb 1000x 150mbs. Or will either one suffice? Only use SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s, & at least 64GB size. Use nothing else that is smaller than this. Remember many of those which claim a fast speed are just referring to the read speed. And not the all important write speed, which they often unfortunately have as slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Just wondering what the consensus is on post? Are you guys using a BMDFilm input LUT as a starting point? With my first few tests with it, I found that just a simple exposure, color correction/balance, and boost in saturation brought me to a nice natural image to grade with later if I want.

mercer Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 So, I went out today and tried Raw 3:1 for the first time... And used Resolve for the first time as well. Resolve automatically puts into a Rec709 color space? Unsure how to change that, or if I'm supposed to? I'll have to watch some tutorials. Anyway, here's a screengrab from my very first attempt... jase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks beautiful. I don't use Resolve enough to remember all the terms but there is a field in the Color page that you switch from Rec709 to BMD Film. Then you can add luts and stuff.

Thanks Jonesy, I was going for a 60s Technicolor look. I am so used to FCPX, that Resolve looks like Greek to me. I'll check out the BMDFilm option. Thanks.

Ed Andrews Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Finally got a shoot in with BMMCC for a new passion project and coupled with it old Angenieux super 16 glass. I absolutely love the image and all this 12bit raw colour business. It's going to be go to for all arty projects. A few grabs...

mercer Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 After using Raw 3:1 for a few days I have come to a couple conclusions... The IQ seems to be considerably better than ProRes and it seems like it handles noise better than ProRes. In fact, I have found that you don't necessarily need to ETTR to protect shadow noise. Has anyone noticed the same things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone noticed the same things? I shot a ton of stuff with the histogram right in the middle with the pocket/pro res. The image looks great, the Sony FS700/7Q, you kinda need to peg the histogram to the right or the image just gets so noisy and gross. I do think well shot RAW when you have a ton of time to process just ends up looking better, but the struggle/time/work flow can end up ruining the creative process.

dbp Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 After using the BMPCC for a while, I still go back and forth on RAW and Pro Res. RAW is of course, fantastic. But I do think the Pro Res is underrated, and the workflow is such a delight. mercer and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think the Pro Res is underrated, and the workflow is such a delight. And that is my main issue... Having to use Resolve for the Raw processing is a burden since I am so unfamiliar with how it works. I just got used to FCPX, so I do really want to shoot in ProRes, but I can see a pretty significant bump in quality shooting Raw 3:1. I really need to do a more controlled test where I get all of the variables in line so I can see exactly how much better it is. Today I went to the trouble of tweaking a few things in Raw in Resolve and then exporting to ProRes so I could use FCPX and Color Finale to do the color work... Talk about tedious and time consuming. Or find some good tutorials for Resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbp Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I agree, it is. It's not THAT bad, but with enough shots, enough work and just wanting to get things done, it adds up. I shoot RAW sometimes for work that doesn't require it. Just to play around. Then deadlines come and I always regret it. While I'm glad Resolve is adding some editing features, I still find it clunky and sluggish compared to Premiere CC...especially Premiere CC with a codec like Pro Res. So yeah, no doubt we all agree that RAW is better. It's just always hard to decide how much better, and how worth it it is for any given shot/project. I love having the option though. I'll definitely use it for challenging lighting situations 100% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you shoot in camera with ISO 800 with ProRes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
