matching the HVX200 look with an EX3

[kerrigan]

I'm shooting a series of interviews with an EX3… but I need to match
the look of a HVX200, 720 24p.

I've made a quick search of the net… looking for a recipe, but haven't found one
yet.
Any suggestions?

Thank you,

A recipe? There isn't going to be one transformation which will work for every shot. Just look at the shots side by side and try to match the colour, exposure and sharpness. You may even want to record some grain with the lens cap on and using the same gain setting on the HVX and lay it over the EX3 footage, that's probably overkill though.

I need to get the look in camera.
I'm going to try this PP which I found on another site.
(see post below)

I'll also try:
720 vs 1080
0db, +3db, +6db
Pro mist filter

The EX1 is notably sharper even at the lowest level. My Black Gamma levels are set very low in order to mimic the fall off of the HVXs Gamma curve. Do note that the Black setting has very minimal adjustment.

I tried Andy's HD Norm profile with my HMC-150 and the scopes matched perfectly. I was surprised. The 2 cameras work well together. Great job Andy.
