Best Picture style to use for weddings, documentaries and short films? and why?

[Guest]

Guys, how do you all resolve the serious banding issues in Cinestyle?

A: Don't use it.

B: Don't apply heavy contrast on smooth areas, if you can help it. Some programs allow for 'power windows' so you can apply slightly different contrast to different areas of the image. But that takes some time and isn't always conducive to the final image.

C: Ignore them, because it is going on the web.

D: Display on a defocused projector.


As sarcastic as I was being, all of those are actual solutions.

Cinestyle is cool but I've ruined footage with wrong exposure. Very important to expose with another profile (preferably one that kind of approaches what you're after).

For those shooting with T2i, I hear that Magic Lantern has a setting which displays a different pict style from the one that is being recorded.

Man, No wonder my 5DM2 gets jealous.

I created the Cinema picture style to avoid too much post color and to go straight from the camera to on air without hassles, and with a ready to go image that is pleasant. I already produced 2 documentaries with it for the Swiss national broadcast tv (SSR) and by the way they beated the audience records with a 41% share in a 100 tv channels situation.

I love the way your picture style looks. Any chance I can download it somewhere? Thank you sir

You can find it here, but it's a premium picture style.

Colors are more analogic and contrasted. Tone has no magenta or purple casts typical of the Canon's camera.
