GroundtruthGeo Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I am a map-maker and animator - who is working more and more with live footage, including a bit of my own run and gun type shooting. I have two cameras, one is a Canon 60D and the other a Panasonic GX7. Similar prime lenses on each. While I much prefer the look/feel/size/versatility and mechanics of the Panasonic, I feel like the Canon produces much richer more engaging color. Any thoughts on this, anything easy I can do in post to liven up the Panasonic image - ala an Instgram filter? How about the shooting settings?

Inazuma Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I am also an animator and own the GX7 What settings are you using currently? Try shooting on Natural or Standard with all the things dialled down and then apply this LUT in post.

JazzBox Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I use 2 Panasonic (GH4 and G6): they are stunning and I'm very happy. The only thing I miss from my Canon time is the color from "Neutral" profile.But, since I grade every single clip I use in projects it is a non-issue. And I've found that shooting with Cine-D or Cine-V without messing too much with contrast/curves/pedestal give best results. Or using "Natural" with contrast -3, saturation -3.

Nick Hughes Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't like to dial down the saturation too far in the GX7- I find it difficult to bring the colors back to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundtruthGeo Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks Amigos. I'm going to try some of these tricks around town this week and see what I come up with. I'd love to put the Canon out of mind. JazzBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
