Flynn Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I think this looks pretty good. "Can the Sony A7s really give good skin tones?

utsira Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Best looking skin tone from Roman's clip by far, even though I think it comes at the cost of not having enough green in the trees/grass. Yeah, Tetrachrome 400 is quite a warm LUT, but the greens suffer. I see the LUT as the starting point of a good grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the dynamic range. It really is good, but trying to band aid the Sony colors seems like an exercise in futility. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafilm Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Have to agree Michael1..still waiting for a great narrative piece/with NICE color to show its head. Have not seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viet Bach Bui Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 So the sky being blue is a bad thing now? Of all the things to nitpick about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafilm Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The colors just don't pop for a lot people. They do look a bit "off" or "washed out" or "desaturated" or whatever the catch phrase of the week is. You can tweak it to death in post, but alas, its a ton of work if your picky. Nikon and Canon colors look fantastic out of the box. I believe that's all he was trying to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viet Bach Bui Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Nope he said it's futile to try to fix Sony colors (I wonder why he's still in this thread, though, I don't haunt topics of cameras I don't like) And I agree with you that most of the footages don't have that pop. But with such a flat footage it's normal to see 90% of the videos online not being graded properly. The BMPCC when it first came out was also a nightmare in post. The internet was also full of weird, desaturated BMPCC clips just like it is now with the A7S. Just give it some more time to see where it goes. The last two videos in this thread were close to perfection, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafilm Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Bùi Bách Việt - What do you feel is the best picture profile for the A7s ? - right out of the box…No color correction. I would be interested in seeing what that looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fe4a3f5e8381673ce80017d29a8375f1 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Here's a really nice A7S vid, with pretty decent colours imvho: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Wall Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 That looks very good - those interiors would be incredibly challenging to shoot for any camera at any price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
