SgPro3 Low Light and Grain tests

[mackfilm]

My band was messing around in the basement up in Nagano Japan, so I decided to test out my sg pro in the very low light. I had to do A LOT of CC in post to try and scrape some of the footage back. It came out being a weird mix of grain and small amounts of pixelation in some parts.

I was in an experimental mood when slapping it together so hear it is:

It isn't all that great, but take a look if your interested to see how the SG-Pro handles in low light.

i think it looked cool. very much like old 16mm with the coloring. care to share your colour grading?

specifically for the shots at 0:21 and 1:38 and 1:48

cool thanks

0:21: Was originally pretty dark so I brought up the brightness which kind of washed out the image. I brought back some of the color by upping the contrast. In the end it started to gain the 16mm look.

1:38: Again was just playing with the bright/contrast, and brought my friends face out by adding a little vignette. Also I played around with the saturation.

1:48: Originally I shot this with the Scene File setting temperature being quite high. Turned out to be too orange so I desaturated it in post.


I didn't really use any presets as such, but hopefully this helps.
