My first slow motion for Nikon Italy with new Nikon D5300:

DOP Klaus Merkel and directed by Nikolai Müllerschön For the first time the cameraman worked during this collaboration with Panasonic cameras with up to ten parallel GH3s and thus can shoot each scene simultaneously from a variety of different settings. In this case, the camera man convinced the compactness of the GH3 over classic cinema cameras: "With her settings were realized, which are difficult to implement with traditional film cameras. Scenes inside a car or fancy angles can be on set with the GH3 so easily realized. "Merkel said the editing reserves that the footage (All-Intra 72 Mbps, in mov format) also offered in post-production. "Behind the scenes" is viewable on Youtube also downloadable -173 MBd http://hybridcamerarevolution.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/upcoming-german-film-frauen-women.html

Whether the image is usable or not is one thing but I can say that Neat Video easily removes the noise. The image does not appear to lose any significant amount of details. @Danyyyel, have you ever considered opening a thread for Nikon shooters which could provide a platform to share all the tricks and suggestions. I would really benefit from such a thread.

I remember watching "Public Enemies" and thinking how a bad camera ruined an excellent movie with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.

You better start with learning one, your CC software with the manual or better yet with a complete video tut training. Then there are some very general advices on requirements and workflow: 1. Calibrate your monitor(s) ... 2. Backlight them with 6500k balanced lights. 3. Paint the wall behind with a dark, neutral grey. 4. Exclude all strongly colored objects from your FOV. 5. Don't allow reflections or light temperatur mixes. Workflow: 1. Optimize your clips (neutralize them). Don't trust your eyes. Use the scopes. This is primary CC. 2. Apply changes to selected areas of your images. This is secondary CC. 3. Find a look for the most enigmatic of your shots in one sequence. Now your taste and your good eye are asked for. Don't start this step when you're tired or not relaxed. This (on top of steps 1&2) is a grade. Copy the grade. 4. Apply the grade to the rest of the sequence, fine-tune it. You will find, that by now clips from different cameras or with different lenses or exposure will look 98% as much congruent as possible. 5. Finally, iron out the missing 2% by comparing all your shots with the tools provided by your software (split screen, lighttable, whatever). After you graded for look, now grade for consistency.
