Rap video from Chicago *WARNING* This video is HARDCORE hood.

This video was wholly shot using the AF100. It's a pretty hardcore song and the group wanted a hardcore video to reflect it. All comments welcomed.

Like the desaturated look in there. Good shadow detail in that hard light. What settings?

Seriously, amazing exposure and range. I thought you did a great job.

I wanted a real gritty look.
Detail Level +5
V Detail Level +5
Detail Coring -1
CHROMA LEVEL -5
DRS 1
Gamma - CINE-LIKE V
MATRIX CINE-LIKE

I crushed the blacks in that scene with the hard light. I'll post a couple of before and after frame grabs.

Thanks!!

Just three lenes. 20mm pancake 1.7, Nikon AI 35mm 2.0 and the Nikon AI 50mm 1.8

I'm quite surprised those exteriors were with CineV.

I neglected to add that the CHROMA LEVEL is set to -5. But yes, that was my setting. WITH ONE EXCEPTION. The scene where the girl is introduced. I wanted her to be more softer. In fact, that scene has absolutely no color grading. Those shots are straight out the camera. The setting for that scene is:
DETAIL CORING +2
(Everything else - 0)
GAMMA - B.PRESS
KNEE - MID
MATRIX - CINE-LIKE

Great shots in the video!
The shots you've shown above, some of my favourites! The setup on camera works!

Thanks Oleg.

Kali,

Really liked the Quality. It makes me feel safe that I just bought the camera. On what system did you edit?

 

[cap10kirk]

I'm completely satisfied with the cam. I edit with Premiere Pro CS5.0.
