April 20th 2015 4:20 Protest Rally in Red Deer, Alberta - Canada
The Event was shot in the Run & Gun style , So really no time to setup the "Shot"
Filmed over a 90 Minute period which yielded me 64GB(Lexar 1066x) of 1872x936 & (1920x960 crop mode) @23.976+Audio raw video in 43 clips with MLV.
5D Mark ii Camera setup , EF24-70L f2.8L Set to
f8 with a ND fader ISO 100. For focusing I use my Zacuto Z-Finder Pro3x which snap to the back of the LCD screen.
This gives great focus assist when I'm not using my HDMI Zacuto EVF.
Workflow MLV/Raw--> MLVFS(Cdng) to After Effect cc thought Adobe import Script , Pre-Grade with Tone Curve to a legal Color Space for Video then exported to
New Linear Apple Codec
ProRes4444 XQEdited, Final Grade & Scaled to 1920x1080p in FCPX 10.2 on 13inch MBP running Yosemite 10.2.
The whole project took about 4 Hours from Start to finish , that's includes Rendering in A.E. to ProRes
I like how the colors came out... how was the event itself overall?
Thanks , 5d2 sweet spot is 100 ISO , which if i'm not mistaking is 72 ISO analog with about 11+stops of DR
Any time i do any of these events i always set the lens to f8 & ND fader is a must.
Color wise , I first switch to the Embedded camera raw colour matrix(seems to be alot flatter)
then Jump on the Contract control and give it major amount of negative gain, any where from -30 to -70.
Then i work the Tone Curve --> HSL/Grayscale (hue,saturation,luminance) -->Split Toning, finally the Primaries.
The event was very low key, basically the park was full of young adults getting a chance to smoke in front of the police without fear of repercussions.
Here the .xmp content acr adjustments so you can get a better idea of how i got my burned in look for ProRes.
