Went to Disneyland yesterday and brought my camera. I've been playing around with the RAW features for about a week now and thought I'd share some footage.
None of the shots have any effects added to them at all. Obviously I had to adjust some things in ACR, but it almost always consisted of lowering the tint and exposure and raising the shadows. That's about all. In a few of the dusk shots I pumped up the saturation of the blues and purples to see how much color was there. A LOT OF COLOR WAS THERE.
Obviously the footage isn't great as far as "technicals" (some shots are shaky, a couple might even be out of focus), but I tried to capture some shots that I thought would be impossible with the limited DR of Canon's internal codecs.
Here is something that I found that I thought I would share: If you shoot with a slightly lower resolution than 2K but stretch the image in Photoshop, it's pretty much lossless to my eye. I remember reading that only Photoshop reads the DNG's as 240ppi, while After Effects and Premiere don't. I think this might be why they uprez so well. Most of these shots were 1920 by 720, but some of them were slightly different on either side. The shots that were lower resolution match the other shots VERY well to me.
My workflow is essentially to get the DNG's, bring them all into Photoshop, use ACR to make them look better, export the files to TIFS and bring them into Premiere to edit. Of course Youtube looks terrible, but enjoy!
