matching AF101 with a 5D... with AVCHD and color grading post prod...

[greenplasticben]

Hello to all of you !
I'm new to that forum. I own an AF101 and so far I'm pretty happy with it. I still have a question. I'm shooting a documentary soon and I would very much like to bring my 5D Mark II as well. I'd like to use it for multi cam.
The scenes will be shot mostly in interior. There are scenes that I would like slightly coldish (for Hi-Tech interviews, it's a software company) and then I'd like another setting that is a little warmer for outside shots and "fun" parts.


I have learned that I should pretty much never shoot in flat mode.
Now the question is : how can I find the right solution for
1. have my 5D match my AF101 (the less "worst" solution)
2. Have the LARGEST range for color grading in post-prod for both my 5D and AF101.


I saw Abel Cine's solution. It's not super convincing.


I shoot AVCHD… I know there's better but that's all I have.
If you guys know settings for the AF101 and 5D MarkII that could answer both of these problems that would be wonderful.


Thank you for helping

Try these AF100 settings:

to match the 5D (flat settings, I think).

I used them for my Af100 but didn't edit. Some grading should get you very close, but test first.

And welcome to the forum!

I never owned a 5D an never tried to emulate the look of it on my AF100 but I remember that Panasonic released a package of scene files for different cameras a while ago. You can find them here:

There's a DSLR-scenefile in the "Effects Package". Maybe worth a try.

Good luck!

Get yourself a chip chart and match the 2 cameras as best you can with in-camera settings before the shoot. You will have an easier time in post.
