Video look

[D10S]

The allure of the AF100 is the ability to get that filmic look. Many lens and settings have been discussed to get that look. But on occasion we may want a more detailed video look. Beyond the obvious, shooting at 60i, detail turned up etc. What settings and lens will help to achieve this look?

Stop down as much as you can to get as much deep focus as possible.

Keeping your white balance slightly cooler. Film is slightly warmer.

 

[Taylor Rudd]

Use gamma/detail/saturation settings more appropriate for television.

-Wider focal lengths, ~20mm and below.

-Zoom with the lens while shooting.

Also, use an HPX170




I kid, I kid :beer:

If you have enough light the 14-140 lens would go a long way towards the video look. At more than 2 stops slower than a typical 2/3 broadcast lens it would have similar dof characteristics.

Shoot 1080/60i with a 1/60th shutter speed.

What does a wide DOF have to do with this? Anyone been to the cinema lately?

use a lot of zomming ...

Thanks for the ideas....I was looking for a "video look". Not a bad looking video. I'll dismiss the "zoom lots" comments.

I would go for 30p or 60i, then use a contrasty gamma curve and rich and punchy colors.
