fuzzynormal Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Leaning heavily into the "Golden Era" of Hollywood filmmaking with this one. Cool to play around with visual styles from yesteryear. 8-bit 4K from a EM10iii and a GH5, for those that are interested in tech specs. mercer and Emanuel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Fantastic! You nailed it!! B&W truly is the great equalizer with camera equipment. I'm always half tempted to only make B&W films. PannySVHS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hey, I hope you don't mind but I linked to your trailer in an old B&W thread because not enough people check out the footage section anymore. Sadly. But I just noticed that you have it Unlisted on YouTube. I can try and delete it if you want? @fuzzynormal PannySVHS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I shot in color so we can do some secondary HSL adjusting in post for contrast if needed. Turns out it's not really needed. However, when the gang and I ran around last week to make our fundraising clip, we shot that straight B&W in camera. I've been doing B&W film since I was a kid back in the 80's. I'm still pretty enamored with analog, so T-Max and Illford HP-5 still make me happy. And new tech is great, but damn if going to nostalgic looks isn't my default mode; almost always trying to make digital look analog no matter what I do!

I totally agree. I keep thinking I should upgrade my camera, but I just love the analog look I get from my 5D3 and ML Raw. I'm not surprised you didn't need the color information. As you've said, there's some stuff you can do with HSL curves in post but it's pretty crazy what you can pull out of aggressive luma curves in B&W. Did you use the L.monochrome profile for your promo? That's a great B&W. I've been contemplating buying an X-T4 or X-S10 for the IBIS and their Acros film simulation.

Then a bunch of subtle variable tweaks with Red Giant Universe's MisFire. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
