Lights! Camera! Fog!

Hi folks,

Been playing with the AF100 at work a lot this past week. Lots of play with light, shadow, and fog.

I think I"m noticing some of the banding issues that some of you have seen. Some of my non scientifgic testing has me thinking the banding happens mostly in the blue channel. As the yellow and purple/red scenes don't exhibit the banding. Any ideas on how to eliminate this in the blue? Or is it just an exposure thing?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Very nice shots... further proof that lighting is one of the most important aspects of getting the "film look". The shot at 01:24 is exceptional.
 
Thanks you guys. I LOVE lighting effects. Love love love lovei.

I'm curious as to how to resolve the apparent banding issues that are showing up mostly in the blue channel (brigest areas of the image, i'm ignoring any apparent issues in the shadows - due to gamma/noise/compression). Even in the still thumbnail of the vimeo video, I see banding in the brightest areas. Are my eyes deceiving me?

Thanks for the compliments! :)
