GH4 screen grabs - a documentary in one focal length

[mcbob]

I'm in production on an essentially self-funded/produced/shot doc project on loggers in western Virginia. To fit the themes, I wanted to keep production simple, straightforward. Then I took it to an extreme and only packed a single lens.

Below are a number of links from the first shoot day (quite a few weeks ago, just getting into post now), untouched 4K frames. I'm thinking I won't color anything as well.

Thanks for any feedback

Looks good!

 

[DeeZiD]

Great shots!
Low sharpness (what I like, more organic!) and great color.

Many thanks

The color was surprising... all Cine-D, 0 -5 -5 -5 +2. I'd intended to shoot "flat" and grade later, but heck, I don't know what I'd change.

Sharpness (or lack thereof) was mostly the usually wide-open Voigt 17.5 (~0.95 indoors, ~f8 on the deeper focus exteriors) wearing a not too expensive Genus Vari-ND.

EDIT: so I was wrong on the profile... was actually Cine-V 0 -5 -5 -2 +2

Good stuff Bob.

I would think twice about not grading it though.
