Matching EX1 with HVX200

[booth]

Hi, in a few months we may have to match up footage from an EX1 with footage from a HVX200. Are there any scene files for the EX1 that we can do this with? Obviously I'm not expecting miracles and we can do a lot in the grade, but if we can get it as close as possible that'd be great.

No miracles required. Just shoot well exposed footage and grade in FCP or whatever.

They'll match fine. I have done this many times with these cameras and others.

You might have to degrade the EX1 footage a bit to reduce its sharpness, and add some noise if you are going for the ultimate precision in matching. But generally a fluid edit (or better yet a jarring cut) will hide any of these differences. Just concentrate on getting the color right.

It'll be graded by a pro at a post-facility so no worries there :)

Great to hear it's been done and it's possible.
