Happy Janmashtami - a Sony A7SII mini doc

[GMC]

As happens very often, on a trip through India you just stumble into a festival - so did I on a recent trip to Pune, and I was completely fascinated again by the way the Indians know how to party! From the smallest Children to old men, they all dance in the street for the annual Janmshatmi.
Shot in SLOG2 on the Sony A7sII. Thanks to Mandala Motion Pictures for providing the close up shot of breaking the pot of curd!

Taken from Wiki: "Krishna Janmashtami (Devanagari कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी kṛṣṇa janmāṣṭamī), also known as Krishnashtami, ... or sometimes simply as Janmashtami, is an annual celebration of the birth of the Hindu deity Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. Dahi Handi (dahi: curd, handi: earthen pot) ... involves making a human pyramid and breaking an earthen pot filled with curd tied at a convenient/difficult height. This event is based on the legend of the child-god Krishna stealing butter. A participant in this festival is called a govinda or govinda pathak. It is mostly popular in the state of Maharashtra. It is part of the main festival Gokulashtami, which is known as Krishna Janmashtami in the rest of the country, and celebrates the birth of Krishna. "

There certain levels of film look to the cadence and images but the colors make my so frustrated (not you particularly but Sony) there is a a plastic feel to the skin and green hue that is shared by Panasonic which I despise. I wish there was a way to get the colors of Canon/Nikon into this camera.

Hi Jason, I do not think that anything is wrong with Sony colors? The light in this film was very difficult and changed constantly, so do not judge from here. I have just posted a new film, have a look how you like those colors (see the respective thread here).
