For those who know and have used the Alexa's False Color for exposure both LUT and LOG C based - which do you prefer and why when working on a professional set?
Is there a de facto standard?
As I understand that on paper it might be better to use FC LOG C based so you see what you are actually exposing to - on the sensor -, most people, including me, tend to use FC based on the LUT used for production (mostly ARRI 709).
I in fact like that the standard ARRI LUT is on the more contrasty side, because I then tend to overexpose a little, which in the end protects my shadows. And even with that, I know in the back of my head that the LOG leaves even more room to work with in post. It's kind of nice to rely on that.
BUT: If there are reasons to absolutely use FC LOG C based - I am eager to know!
Interested in how the majority of you is handling this.
Thanks a lot, everyone, and best regards.
