C300: Noise test 4KRAW to HD-MFX

[leonel escobar]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I thought that if you filmed in 4K and downres to HD the noise grain wouldn't be as bad as if were to have filmed it in HD. The test that I conducted appears to refute that theory.

In order to get RAW I used the Odyssey 7Q+.

Although I shot my test using a variety of ISO's I choose to put up the one the I did with 3200 ISO.

I shot my test in a daylight environment at a f2.0, 24fps with a shutter angle of 180. In post I applied a same LUT to all the clips and made sure that every waveform was identical. I then exported them in a Tiff image to try to maintain as much information as possible.

You'll have to use an image hosting service to upload a quality image. FYI the mk ii is noisy at its native ISO in the shadows. If you want to see something cool though, shoot that same scene at iso100 in raw then push the image in post. (Remember to expose for the highlights) you'll find you have a lot of information in the shadows that you can pull up with less noise than if you shot it at the native ISO.
