Title: Indie sci-fi feature film in MLRAW - Strings
Post by: avasarin on October 15, 2014, 07:54:22 AM
Hi everybody,
I would like to share with you our last fatigue, Strings.
This is a science fiction feature film, entirely shot with a 5Dmk2.
Here's the first teaser trailer.



All this huge work would not have been possible without Magic lantern and all this great community, so I want just to say THANK YOU!

If you want to know more about, here's link to an article.

Looks great!

Can you give us an idea of your workflow on set as far as file offloading as well as post workflow form the RAW?

Thanks

After a lot of tests I found out that the best workflow for me was:

- shooting (natively 1880x800), more or less 11 Tb of footage
- converting with Rawmagic
- creating proxies and checking footage with Davinci Resolve (using Hunter's LUT - https://vimeo.com/67970827 (https://vimeo.com/67970827) )
- editing with premiere pro
- after that, with the final cut of a sequence, I wrote down (paper and pen) all the clips I used
- color grading via Davinci Resolve and exporting Prores 4444 2K 16:9 (2048x1152) using Hunter's LUT and, in some cases, ImpulZ LUTs http://www.vision-color.com/impulz/
- Now in After effects every clip is processed with the simple wire removal effects in order to erase the RAW's dead pixels. Fortunately I ended up with an effect preset for it, it's just copy and paste. Here visual FX are processed too!
- on a new Premiere project I import the final sequences, replacing the proxy files with the final graded clip

Some notes about final codec and res: I found out that prores 4444 holds better for further adjustment in premiere here and there (curves etc), and 2K because we want to screen in cinemas.
