S log picture profile test success

[eddavid]

Shot a scene for a short film with the slog picture profile. Shooting to the Atomos Samurai v. 3.0
Looking quite great. Very pleased with the extra control I can do now to s log. I can put in the sharpening right away if I feel that the editor I give the material to won't sharpen it.

I have found that matrix off and matrix on settings - I've been playing with them. Getting healitier skin tones (in my opinion) with phase set from -3 to -13.

Also I think I like the "normal" matrix best.

what are other thoughts on this?

which is better when using s-log gamma with Samurai..... pro res 4:2:2 or pro res HQ?

lovely work, and a great way of presenting it too, really liked that feature. Good stuff!

wow thanks for the positivism. I use Adobe Bridge to make the webpage thingy. Unfortuately it runs on flash and I think flash is dying out. Hopefully the next version of bridge works with HTML 5.

I know Pro Res HQ is the preferred way of recording 10bit slog, but for a lot of jobs that have a lot of footage, I just do Pro Res 422 and it seems to be okay - no one complains too much.

Is it best to do this? Probably not. But it makes it so I can shoot all day and just transfer once during lunch and once at the end of the day.

I'd challenge anyone to see the difference between ProRes and HQ on 98% of things shot.
Brooklyn Double Chocolate is mmmmmmmmm...I'll help you on a shoot next time for pay in Stouts!
