bootsie Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 A still frame from an audition shooting two weeks ago. Low key lighting. Basic color correction in Davinci Resolve 12.5, no color grading and no grain added. Any guess on camera or lens is welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Bacle Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I dunno, the shadows look pretty noisy. Does look like a 4:2:2 intraframe codec. What bothers me is the image size ... 3.5K letterboxed.... 5d mk3 in Magic Lantern cropped mode ? Nope doesn't look like raw to me...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted June 17, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2016 I think these things are more fun when you do the following: - Expose properly - Use an interesting shot to grab peoples attention - Have 3 or more comparison shots, shot using different cameras - Tell us what those cameras were, then allow us to link the shot to the camera - Shoot wide open on the lens so we can tell look the sensor size / optics are giving. The shot you used is flat and doesn't give anything away at all Zach Goodwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgabogomez Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Looks like ursa or blackmagic 4k 400 underexposed... benymypony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Coffee Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I really like the look of this - exposure and all! Is it an Olympus cam? No one seems to want to guess - put us out of our misery please.. what is it!? bootsie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmcindie Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 It's probably an AVCHD camera edited in Premiere Pro with deinterlacing on (the couch has some weird things going on in the lines there). It could be a Sony FS100/FS700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theater professor uses it to show it is so dark in the room that people can not tell where everyone is. Like in a Scooby Doo situation where there is stuff bouncing everywhere and lights turn on and you see people. Or a murder or anything dealing with not seeing anything. Again movies are visual communication, so what we see in that picture is what we get. I dunno, I think exposing properly and creating the ambiance in post was the way to go with todays codecs that do not hold shadow information properly. But I guess there's not one way to do it. Only the end results matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again movies are visual communication, so what we see in that picture is what we get. There's a difference between creative under-exposure, or balancing levels of exposure relative to the chosen aperture, and general under-exposure. Take this example frame from Miller's Crossing. It's not underexposed, everything is designed in such a way that it feels like night-time. The important thing is ensuring your bright spots are sitting right - in the OP shots, the bright spots are underexposed, and so the exposure should be bumped. Alternately, it may be a log gamma shot, or not have had it's exposure corrected properly from a log shot. Zach Goodwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronChicago Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I think the issue is not seeing a dynamic highlight for reference. This shot would be a perfectly acceptable exposure for a David Fincher film if a practical was in the shot.

bootsie Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Thanks for the thrilling discussion. The camera is a 5D MKII with ML RAW and the lens a Zeiss ZF 35mm. @Zach Goodwin you got it right immediately! Michael Coffee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Coffee Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Nice. Beautiful shadows on her face. Better than some of the "references" I've seen - modern art deco. Would love to see some motion footage.. which always looked good to me from ML raw! bootsie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
