Just shot this today, would love some feedback:
https://vimeo.com/85108075


Shot on:
Canon C100 - C-Log
Canon 24-105mm
Handheld
Slow-motion shots filmed in 60i then converted into 60p then conformed to 24p timeline. Everything else was shot in 24p.

Can't tell you guys how happy I am with this camera. I ran around all day with just the stock battery and still had 50+ minutes left.
Wish I had a little more zoom but I really like the 24-105 for this kind of stuff.

Funny enough I saw another guy there with a C100.
 
Looks great! (if sparsely attended) WDR? Did you add film grain?

Some of my earliest and best professional memories were shooting Daytona 24 and Sebring in the 80's on 3/4" then Beta- thanks for revving up my memories!
 
Thanks! Yeah there really were not many people there in the grandstands but the infield was pretty packed.

I usually have to settle for watching it on TV for one reason or another, but this year I made sure to go and experience it in person and man there is absolutely nothing like it.
The sound is incredible, the smell of the exhaust is something I'll never forget. I really want to go to Sebring next. It's easily my favorite track. One day... Edit: Haha actually I will be in Naples that weekend, I might just swing by on my way back and check it out.

I shot in C-Log, no CC or anything just straight from the camera.

I was sooooo disappointed the first minute, saying "Ahhhhh…no nat sounds". Then, they came in around 1:00! As a racer myself, really liked it. Nice work!

Just trying to set the mood haha! You have to have nat sound from a race track, it should be mandatory. Especially from those Daytona Prototype's, they are some of the loudest and meanest sounding cars I've ever heard.
 
Looks really good I should have done a test when I got it a year ago because I shoot a ton of motorsports and never thought to use the 60i option. I may need your help next year at the Rolex 24 as a shooter.

Thanks, I'll be using 60i a lot more after shooting this video. I was really surprised how good it turned out.
