This is basically an example of how not to set your camera settings.

film cam
1080 24p
detail level +6
vdetail +5
coring +3
chroma+3
gama: bpress
knee: mid
matrix: norm 2

Pretty Bad results/ aliasing grain with these settings.
Figured it is important to note what does not work as far as settings go.

I wouldn't recommend detail +anything, unless you really know exactly what you're doing. High detail levels magnify the appearance of noise, I normally recommend -4 as a general-purpose cinematic max.

That said, the only shots that looked really bad were the early, grossly-underexposed shots. Massive underexposure combined with a high detail level = guaranteed grainy mess, sure... so don't do that. The properly-exposed shots look fine on that vimeo.
