I was the DP for these. All shot on the FS100 with Nikon glass. Small budget, little time, all shot in one day.

These look great! Were these over cranked at all, or filmed at normal speed?
a bit of both

Very nice work. Great framing and movement and colour...
Now you know it's got to be asked. "What picture profile?"
Well, I tend to move to new picture profiles all the time. I do not remember exactly what I was using for this. All I know, is that I didn't like it, mainly because skin was just a little too red. I have conquered the red skin issue and have a go to a new profile now.
I had nothing to do with the edit or grade.

I do not believe that there is one "do it all" profile with the FS100. I do however have a starting point of sorts. I adjust for each shooting situation. I have found the camera to be very finicky, it's not a turn on and shoot camera in my eyes. You can't have the DSLR mentality with the fs, you'll screw yourself if you do.
This is the last profile I used on a short film. It fit the color temps we had to work with, lighting setups, etc. It may look like junk if you try to use it. I think a lot of people are in search of this "Magic" profile that works for everything. I don't think that exists. Figure out your own profiles, you'll be much happier.

Yes the fact that it's so "finicky" is a real problem for me. I have a trained eye for composition etc but I'm not great at the technicalities of tweaking picture profiles.
I just want to shoot! But I guess it's forcing me to think more technically about settings etc
Next step is learning how to grade properly.

Ah, it's like music to my ears, this is what I love about the camera, not just any yuppie can pick it up and get a good image *I may be the exception to the clause, but it's so much more rewarding when you have a finished project that you feel you actually had a good hand in achieving, rather than have a camera manufacturer take the fun out of it and make you feel like a robot, The FS challanges me and has made me have such a better understanding and respect for the art, live long and prosper you beautiful piece of technology!
