As always happens you look back at what you posted and don't like it... so here's an improved attempt using the 'actual' LUT provided in the download... instead of an Alexa LUT on the post above. Much cleaner looking! Ok I'll stop now... apologies if I'm breaking any guidelines I'm new around here I've rendered it to 1920 x 800 (just MP4 H.264) and uploaded it here if anyone wants to see it in motion: https://www.dropbox.com/s/412n0gbo3axj04b/PRJ-0001-006-A1-48A3.mp4?dl=0

Ok couldn't help but post my grade too... I'm not trying to start a competition and certainly open to criticism myself but some of the grades posted of this so far might not be showing it in the best light (except the grade from @Geoff CB which is gorgeous - I'm not that good!). As a GH4 user this was just a dream to grade in Premiere Pro CC with Lumetri colour, I loaded a LUT called AlexaV3_K1S1_LogC2Video_DCIP3_EE and then did some simple tweaking to highlights, shadows, contrast, saturation and minor adjustment to curves. I really pushed the saturation which might be too much for some peoples liking and usually mine too but it helped to naturally warm up the image a bit with some of the more subtle warmth in the skin tones that was otherwise hidden. After grading GH4 footage for years this is going to ruin me forever! I might be upgrading to a Terra instead o a GH5! (though having both as some have mentioned would be quite complimentary for different uses). The background wall is naturally quite purple so if I were to go further I would be trying to reduce that as it gives the overall picture and foreground a magenta feel by association even though it's not.

That sums up exactly where I'm at @Cinegain ... wanting to step up to something in between a GH4/5 and an Alexa/Ursa/Terra that shoots raw 4K+ at high frame rates and I would think Panasonic if anyone could fill that gap perfectly. More expensive alternative I guess is to have GH5 for smaller jobs and get a Kinefinity Terra, perhaps they know for many that will still be the case and they're not losing customers anyway. By the way here's an interesting comment from Veydra on why they stopped their anamorphic lens project... does that point to a multi aspect sensor on the GH5?
