GH4 Leeming LUT One – the best LUT for the Panasonic GH4

Hey Paul just finished reading the entire thread, and it's possibly one of the most informative threads I've ever read, you and your beta testers are to be congratulated.
I'm holding out hope that a Lut for the GH2 will still happen. When you get back on board you might be able to let me know, or maybe LPowell may be able to throw some light on it during your absence? Cheers.
 
Thanks :) Yes, It's been rather delayed due to me moving countries, having a feature film to shoot and me being without my main editing PC for literally months, but I haven't forgotten the GH2 :) I have a beta LUT for it though, so once I get time to refine everything I'll release it :) Probably after Xmas!!

Cheers,

Paul :)
 
Good luck with your move and movie, Paul! Glad to hear you're still interested in the GH2, I'm sure I'm not the only one who reserves a sweet spot for this camera. My tests on the beta of your GH2 LUT looked promising, though there was a subtle color cast that I thought needed additional test shots to evaluate. Let me know if there's more I can do to help on this project!
 
Thanks Paul look forward to it, sounds like your'e a busy man, good luck with it all.

@Lpowell just wondering if the GH2 Lut developement with Paul is for stock firmware or a patch ?

Cheers.

Naturally, I shot and tested the GH2 beta LUT with my own Flow Motion 2.02 patch, but the LUT will have comparable results on stock firmware or any other GH2 patch. LUT's primarily correct the camera's dynamic range and color rendition, properties that are not directly affected by GH2 patches. Where you can see differences among GH2 patches and the original firmware are in detail resolution and to some extent, chroma channel color depth. Another important application for calibrated LUT's of this type are in matching the color rendition of different camera models, in particular the GH2 with the GH4.

Sounding great.
Thanks.
 
Hi Mr. Paul Leeming, is there any chance to have a Sony FS700 version? I would love to match it with my GH4. Should I use the Sony Pro Color LUTS? Thank you.
 
Some stills from a short I shot using the Leeming LUT's (v201 and Basic Correction, then graded).

Holy $%^& dude! Those are stunning. Love the color and how natural the details look. These should be used to show to anybody who ever says the GH4 is not a good film camera.
 
Thanks guys! This is the finished piece. I shot it on a Chinese speedbooster using prime lenses. Rokinon Cine 16mm t2.2, Nikon ais 35mm f2, and Rokinon Cine 85mm t1.5. Learned a lot on this shoot, namely not to film in 108 degree heat in the desert! Also, using a polarizer outdoors really helps control dynamic range. I also did all the editing, grading and sound work. Hope to shoot a feature in the summer using the same cast and crew.

Nice job using the polarizer. Filters are the way to go to optically control what the sensor gets.

Cool. More details-- I used a bit of Ice Mint on the office scene, at about 35 percent, to give it a tint. Shot in Cine D internally at your recommended settings. Used a 1.2 4x4 IRND filter outdoors, plus the aforementioned polarizer. I used these glass filters, which are a steal. They are knockoffs of the Tiffen Pro Indie HV IRND filters and are made of Water White glass. They have a very slight green tint, like the Tiffens, but are perfectly neutral if you white balance them. They used to sell on Ebay, can only find them here now -- http://www.dx.com/p/lipa-filter-pro...pl-filter-kit-black-4-x-4-316693#.WG2fybGVRhE
