Best 5D Picture style settings for film

sok a Palme d'Or will fix that.

Now we have to suffer all the posts from NTSC land about how 24p "looks jerky"
 
I found myself using 1/2 or Full BPM on everything i have shot with the 5d. Hopefully some reduced sharpness levels and i can start using less diffusion!!!

I have a questions about display calibration. I have recently been using other peoples and shooting a colour chart and then putting that on a calibrated monitor, nowedays i have no colour chart so wondering what the best setup is for a "as accurate as one could be" LCD display.

Kind regards, James

Thanks for this thread guys. I am shooting a student feature on the GH1 right now but we're shooting the climax of the film on the 5D because it's an amazingly complicated shoot with limited time on a location and we have access to two 5Ds and two 5D shooters, each with an AC with me acting as DP, instead of me trying to camera operate everything. However, one of the 5D shooters is more a stills guy and the other just got his, so having this thread is pretty helpful...I've shot on the 5D before but never in a "life or death" situation for a project like this, so being able to get caught up on some of this knoweledge is great.

One quick question. Why saturation -2? I used to decrease the sat settings on my Gh1 but found I didn't like it quite as much and went back to 0. The movie is sort of a romantic comedy so a little saturation isn't too bad unless it's really screwing the latitude.

Also how bad is overheating problem in terms of image degradation over time? I will have my GH1 with me as backup in case of moire/aliasing problems on wide shots (the GH1 seems to do a bit better with this problem...if not technically then at least in appearance) and for overheating issues.

Sorry to throw that in on this thread. Thanks!

Picture Styles

Have any of you tried the shutterdown pancake style on a 5d? I like it but it seems like I might be missing something
 
I wouldn't drop the saturation down at all...in an 8 bit 4:2:0 color space you won't be able to get that info back. Contrast and sharpness all the way down.

You can use flat picture styles but you really hav to know what you're doing with those.
