help, need to shoot clean

[Lake Films]

I have been having a hell of a time color correcting because I tried to shoot with a 'look' in camera. I want to shoot the cleanest image possible to make CC easier. What should my scene file settings be? Thanks!

 

[Robbie Comeau]

Can't you just shoot flat?

You have more to handle with in post.

 

[dory_breaux]

use the default F5 or F6 settings. thats what I do when I know I want to do intensive CC in post.

 

[Lake Films]

Yes, but what is 'default' as I changed all of my settings to particular looks. Yes, flat is the key here..

Basically, what are the default settings? All zero's?

 

[Robbie Comeau]

Hit the reset button?

I think you can go back to your default settings in your scene file settings.

 

[dory_breaux]

Open up the scene file menu, go all the way to the bottom, go to save/init and then the rest is obvious.

 

[Lake Films]

Yes, but how do I 'reset' the settings? Just set them all to zero? I hit the reet button on the side, it didn't do anything.

dory's answer is right on. init means initial in the menu.

 

[dory_breaux]

Yeah, Init sets it to the default scene files wich are zeroed.
