Don't know if this was already posted. But check out the new Crank 2 trailer.

The Canon XH A1 and HF10's looked excellent.

Edit: It's best to "Right Click" and "Save Link As."

Yeah...these guys were definitely not going for the "Film-Look" but the look they have seems to work (at least in the trailers). Loved the color grade job.
 
I think that trailer looks great, hdv held up really well! I can't wait for the bts on the dvd!
 
Insane,

could anybody tell that this was shot on hdv , put aside the fisheyelens shots that probably fits the story, this trailer was insane.
Alot of scenes are shot during the day plus I think they used a lot of lights to keep it clean. Much respect to the makers don't know about the movie but the trailer is I say it again insane.

Wasnt Corey Haimes or the other Corey gonna Star in this movie?

Any chance they will release the preset they use for this movie? i'm pretty sure Papa or some of the other preset pro's will make a crankvision-preset
 
haha. Listen, we're talking about a big budget feature film here. These guys have huge amounts of post correction on the image, which will make presets a very moot point here.

Start with panavision presets, panafilm, truecolor, etc.. and tweak your image to have the Crankvision.

Exactly, and how do we know they didn't just shoot everything flat and then did the look during color grading?

These big budget movies have so much money just to spend on color correction and grading that it would make sense to just wait instead of using a preset.

Its amazing that HDV held up during that color correction though.

I would bet that they transcoded it to a more robust codec.

Anybody know what they edited this on? Avid or FCP would be my guess.

Just downloaded and viewed the trailer. Looks like video but still looks awesome. The look they've got really works for this kind of story. I'm sure if they took more care in the types of shots they set up or used 35mm adapters they could've gotten it to fool people into thinking is was shot on film. This footage makes me not too worried about keeping my A1 and HV20 around for a while.

I can't believe they figured out a way to make a sequel to Crank though. And if a Grand Theft Auto film adaptation ever gets the greenlight, then these guys and Statham would be a great team for that.

This article indicates they developed a preset:

Collider: And is that something that you guys are like you’ve developed that in post…like you guys have had…?

Mark: It’s something actually we develop in camera. We’re shooting for the last 7 years. We love the fast digital shutter and lots of geeky things that you don’t care about, but like shooting with negative 3 gain and we do an in-camera look that is very aggressive and that scares everybody, but we filmed it out and we tested it and it works and it looks amazing on the screen. I remember Jason Statham said on day one, he said “wow, this looks like Crank 1 but better.” That’s what we’re shooting for.

Brian: We do almost everything in camera. We’ve never been a big fan of trying to make the look in post.

The Panavision, PFVision, Panafilm presets are still quite amazing though!

Well there you go. I'm surprised, as I would've figured that this type of film would want to look pretty slick, so a good post color grade seemed like a more logical choice.

I'm gonna take another look at the trailer and see if I can figure out some aspects of the Crank preset.
 
I am sure that they did a whole lot of the look In a post house. The director may think that is what happened. Some dp's will take credit for what the colorist did. Maybe they just didn't shoot it super flat. They still did sky replacements, color matching, etc. They didn't just shot it this way and edit it. I don't want anyone making that mistake.
 
If you take a closer look in at least one scene you will see rolling shutter artifacts (more likely from the HF10)….but amazingly it worked. I only saw it because I was looking at this from under a microscope (I must have watched it 40 times already….no kidding). The scene is from the view under the car while it’s driving….wobbles everywhere (it goes by very quickly…so pay close attention). Both the A1 and the HF10’s held up very nicely. I have to admit…but when I read a year ago about them using the HF10’s I was not sure if they knew what they were getting themselves into. But…apparently…it worked. I feel much better about my HV20.

Yes…I too thought Corey Haim was supposed to star. But there’s still a chance he might be in it.


I think they might have done some replacements also. When I look from the car interior (where he is throwing the guy out the car) I have this feelinig that what we see through the windows were masked in. I do it all the time with my videos...and it just seemed familiar.
 
If you think about it...there had to be at least some post color correcting. the HF10 and A1's are two different cams....and I believe I heard them sneaking in an EX-1 with some of the interior shots (not sure about that one). But they all had to be matched somehow....right?

Thank god you did that so I wouldn't have to. :dankk2:
I read this before I got a chance to watch the trailer, then when I started the trailer, I thought to myself, "Ok, let's see this rolling shutter!" (and anything else I can find to criticize a major production for using Prosumer/Comsumer camers)

Not more than 2 seconds passed before I completely forgot about looking for rolling shutters and just enjoyed the trailer for what it had to offer. I'm very impressed with their execution and color choices.

VERY few watching this movie in the theaters is going to think to themselves,"Is this film/RED/any other high end camera?" I know I'll be watching it for it's sex, violence, and ridiculous premise. :thumbup:

Kudos to the movie team for putting this together! It should be an inspiration to all who sport a cheapy camera.
