So let me start off by saying, I was the only crew on this. I had 6 hours to shoot it out in a cave working the 1 ton lighting package by myself. No AC, no grips, no gaffer, no electrics, nada, zilch. So it's not the pinnacle of achievement by any means haha. But I did manage to get some nice BTS following the process from pre to post. Hopefully something in there will help someone. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
I used the ferrari profile for this shoot and couldn't be happier with it. It didn't take much grading out of camera which was nice. As always, I was surprised in post by how much detail was still retainable in the shadows, even when I was sure that things were clipping on the bottom end.

The FS100 was pretty much the perfect camera for this. I didn't have the greatest lighting options in the world. I was pretty much resigned to what I could get for free donated from some friends. I think I had a 1k, a 650w with softbox, and 2 divalites. I was able to push to ISO 1600 and 2000 without being able to notice it much. The camera definitely wasn't a limitation, the G&E package on the otherhand, was haha. But the FS100 is a trooper and I don't think I could have gotten the shots with a RED or a DSLR (RED seems to take a **** all over anything past ISO 800 and especially when you starve it from light)
