We shot it at 1920*818, with a minimal lighting package. The colors were gorgeous just from the start. For the final grading we used curves, adobe raw, and a mixture of LUTs.

Thanks for sharing. RAW really elevates this camera to a new level. Blacks were kind of cuished imho (makes it look DSLR-ish) but the overall look is very nice. Shall I say "filmic"? :)

Lol, when you say 'filmic' in a discussion board a fairy looses her little wings.

i crushed the blacks willingly a wee for extra effect, yes, but I understand what you mean.
 
Great work.... and I think the crushed blacks work well... Most people are too scared to lose any DR and raise the shadows as much as possible.... but the point of having extra DR is you can be more aggressive in your grade. You can get punchy blacks and still look great (and not video like)
 
Very nice work.
Doesn't look crushed to me. Blacks look nice. There is some notion around the interwebs that "filmic" = "flatish", which isn't quite the real world. In fact, cinematographers often strived to get as deep blacks as possible (ENR, bleach bypass, very high contrast print stocks, etc).
 
Looked great. But I was surprised by the aliasing in the garage rollup at the start. Is that a cause of the RAW? Even on 5D3?

Edit: hmm it looks like it was only a problem when shooting through the glass door to that element. That was wierd.

Agreed. I looked at the footage, trying to spot crushed blacks, saw nothing crushed.

GOod short.
 
Thanks a lot for the amazing comments, folks.

Samir, tomorrow I'll upload full frames of the first shot to show the aliasing.

With the 5DM3 there seems to be an almost indescernible amount of aliasing in contrasty near horizontal lines. It's mostly invisible, but seems to get augmented by interframe compression and by downsizing to 720. Did you see the aliasing on the Vimeo compression or in the original h264 file?
 
I'm sorry I'm late.

Here are two comparisons, with and without sharpening, set in the Adobe Raw Module. When used, the sharpening settings are circa 70 amount, 0.5 radius and 25 detail.

I've left our most of the CC to show a more neutral image and the results are much more different than I expected, to be honest. Keep in mind that the Canon zoom lens is extremely soft when wide open, which was the case of the first opening shot. Also the sharpening makes more evident the little native aliasing of the camera. Look for it in the car of the opening shot.
