FS700, 4K RAW, odyssey 7Q

[abreu-canedo]

So I know I'm super late to the party here, but I've just started to test out the FS700 RAW (Raw/raw) capabilities via the odyssey 7Q...and I'm stunned!

I know that others already are hip to the capabilities of this combo, but when I saw it on my monitor here at the house, first hand, I was blown away at the results!

I just wanted to share this very low-light test (only a few 40watt bulbs/practicals at night time). Being low-light, in bringing the image back up I blew out the lamp (practical) a bit...but if I were more diligent I could have added a window/mask to the lamp to keep it from blowing out so much.

I found it to be a decently sharp yet creamy image (nikkors help with that), with pretty low noise and stunning flexibility. Resolve handled it all like a champ! Slog2 LUT gave me a great starting point, and it was a pleasure from there on! Exporting to ProRes 444 and bringing it to FCPX was a breeze. I can definitely see data constrains as a major issue, but on the right project this could yield amazing results.

Again, I know I'm very late in discovering the RAW capabilities of this combo, but I'm very excited about the possibilities. Now It's all about putting it into action

I know there's not much to comment on, but any feedback is always appreciated.

Seems nice. Does the autofocus working with that speedbooster or is it focus puller?

Yeah, i love the look of that test. The grade just agrees with me in some way. Just a nice look.

Hey, thanks for the kind words.

Glawing, I was pulling focus myself with a wireless follow focus. Yeah, I often wish someone would come out with an adapter that could allow nikon VR and AF to play with Sony, but I have yet to be satisfied in that regard. Speedbooster in this case is just to use the entire FOV of the lens, and gain the extra stop of light.

And ChadN, thanks for the complements on the grade. I often had a real hard time grading Slog2 footage (8bit, admittably), but now working with DNGs it's a breeze...specially with Resolve.
