This is a promo video I DP'd for Burgeon Media a couple months ago.

It was all shot at 60p 1280x720 to a KiProMini (ProRes) and then conformed to 24 in Cinema Tools. Reason for shooting 720 was the KPM or any other external recorder does not support 1080 60p over SDI. Lenses used were the fantastic Olympus 14-35mm f/2, Tokina 11-16 2.8, Contax/Zeiss 50mm 1.7 and a manual focus Nikkor 85mm 1.4. Fill light was from either a 4ft. white/silver reflector and or two Cool Lights 600 LED 1x1 panels powered by a generator. Dolly was a 5ft. Kesseler Cineslider.

Settings were to the best I can recall:
Detail: -6
V. Detail: -6
Detail Coring: +2
Chroma Level: -3
Master Ped: 0
Gamma: Cine D
Matrix: Norm 2
Shutter: 180*

I didnt cut the piece or grade it, but from what I know slight grading was done with Looks.

Hope you like it..


 
Wow- gorgeous, Bill!

Love the subtle fill light.

Did they or you not want to shoot native codec for grading reasons?
 
Thanks Chuck, really appreciate it.

Regarding native codec, yes it was mutually decided to record externally in case they decided to grade heavily. From the looks of it they kept it light but wanted the flexibility. Final output of 1080 wasn't needed so it was a painless decision to use the KPM.
 
Oleg, as I mentioned above, I was not the one who graded it. However with my knowledge of what the native footage looked like, I would guess they increased the contrast while lifting the mids with a Curve tool, added a little diffusion and slight tilt/shift in a few shots.
