I've got a 10-bit version of this file, let's see what happens in 10-bit: Note that I'm talking about movies as opposed to shooting news stories where the camera original was threaded onto a film chain and broadcast as is.
Canon picture style cinema look iso#
Ok, there was a popular 16mm reversal film called Ektachrome Commercial (ECO, tungsten, ISO 25) but it created a very flat image suitable for making film prints but not for viewing. I find it amusing when anyone attempts to get the "film look" in camera because when we shot on film we, "had to get it right in camera." Dirty little secret, while it might be true with still photography where we shot on color reversal film, movies were shot on negative film stock. Generally you can increase the contrast in post but reducing it will result in muddy shadows and/or grey highlights. That shouldn't be a problem unless you get into some very contrasty situations. The only difference is that your contrast is set to 1. Using Neutral for the base profile and Saturation: 2 are Prolost Flat settings. You probably already found out that you shouldn't do any sharpening in camera so that should be set to zero. Keep going and eventually you'll wind up with the Prolost Flat settings. filmed with VisionTech profile on Canon 60D Or, here are a couple of vids I've used OSIRIS with: Then, add a film grain to your footage to avoid banding.Ĭheck out their site for examples of the look. To get the maximum out of your footage, it's also best to denoise (with NeatVideo for example) in a 16bit environment, as it eliminates any compression artefacts. Each LUT has a Rec709 version for the VisionTech profile, and a LOG version, which can be used with Magic Lantern RAW footage. And as there are 9 different LUTs in the pack, there is a range of different aesthetics to play with. Probably best as a starting point to further grade your footage to how you want it, but if you're new to grading or you want to save time, they're totally passable without any further grading. It's a great starting point to start grading your footage, as it's a flat picture style but retains a high amount of colour information.Īlso, their OSIRIS pack of LUTs can be applied to footage filmed with VisonTech, for an instant 'film like' grade, which looks great.
I use VisionTech by VisionColor for all my projects.
