Looks pretty sick man! i've been messing with film convert a bit too. can't quite figure out a way to process s-log nicely though. everything feels a little to brutal. how are you going about it?
i'm using the slog-cineon LUT and then arri alexa filmLOG setting as a base.

Which software are you using to grade?
What codec is your footage?
Firstly, Arri alexa LogC profile is more suited, C stands for "cineon"
If you using prores on mac, the infamous gamma issues are plaguing your results, the footage will appear darker/more contrasty to start off with prores.

Ed! so film like!

Yeah I meant LogC
I'm using a mac, prores, and filmconvert within premier CC. but that gamma shift and not using the full range (100+%) within premier is what's killing me i think. As soon as i bring it into davinci + data levels, it's amazing every time. Might have to test some more… is DNxHD the answer? i have a vague memory it doesn't record the full range?also sorry for going off topic Ed!

I haven't tried dnxhd, but Ive heard it handles full range without issues.
Yes Resolve "data levels" is the answer.
In Premiere use a "fast colour corrector" first, and bring up the blacks and bring down the whites (to get the full range in)
Then use lumetri with Slog-> cineon
Then film convert with arri logC

Thanks guys - looking at some of those stills too green - I could go back in and fix that - the dreaded F35 green look
Public Enemies shot on the f23 - man that movie gives me so many nightmares about what the F35 - well what kind of you don't want it to look like - no offense to anyone invovled in that film if you happen to read this by some random reason which I kind of hopefully doubt.
I was using the Canon 5d Standard profile but now I'm using the Arri Alexa log c profile - more control over saturation and curve.
I am loving film convert - more than Osiris - I bought that LUT kit too after I saw some amazing videos on their website. The stand alone program is quick and easy enough for me to make dailies on set with a look that is more LUT-ready than the log stuff. That was one of my problems shooting flat and log - trying to make sure when it came to color time they added a s curve and saturation and all that good stuff - now I have some control over it and can still give them the log stuff.
F35 is great - you gotta believe. Thanks again Mac.
