Jimmy's List - short thriller being shot in Canadian Rockies

Hi guys, I thought I'd post some screen grabs of a short film I am making up in the Canadian Rockies (freezing cold here!). Some scenes were shot in as low as -20, and the DVX held up nicely (much better than my fingers and toes).

great framing, great lighting and CC is fantastic. seeing more and more great stuff here.
 
Bravo! those are some well framed and composed shots, the colors, lighting and overall feel is great... I want to see the finish product.

My favorites are all of them ;)

Cheers,
 
I've done my grading with the Digital Film Labs 55mm filter package for After Effects (which can be used in Premiere Pro which I've edited in)

That package works great with the DVX!
 
Scott can I ask what filters from the 55mm set you are using? I checked out their website - the filters look cool, I am curious though as to what results you get on more complicated film scenes (rather than the simple stills they are showing).
Thanks!
 
I've used 'Overexposure' to help with some of the darker scenes, 'Bleach Bypass'
to help with creating higher contrast lower saturated images, Light! to help fix some darker spots on the image, Vignette, and Gels to change the colour.

The samples they give are pretty boring and don't really show what the filters can really do.
 
These look EXTREMELY good! Honestly, some of the best dvx stuff I have ever seen. There is just something extra about them that a lot of others don't have. "bleach bypass" type filters are definately very useful. I've been using something like that recently and has given me great results.

but anyway, I would love to buy a copy from you when it's done. The images are too good to pass up (and the story's probably neat also)
 
Looks great! Some of the shots do look completely inconsistent with the others, but I'll assume you have a good reason for that. My favorite, to be honest, is the first one. Simplicity, a rich warm look, nice composition.

quick question Scott-Eye... do you happen to know what all of your detail-type settings were at when you shot these?

Since having this filter set I have generally left my detail settings at basically 0 for everything and -2 for Auto Iris (although I will often manually set the iris). This gives me the best flexibility in post. Often the source images will look a bit "flat", however I find this much better to work with in post than high contrast source images.



Some of the images are quite different to the others. This is a combination of some being part of flashback sequences, and because I haven't determined the particular look of the whole film as yet.
