Etihad Airways promo videos: 5dmkIII Raw

[rungunshoot]

I worked with a Dubai-based creative agency to produce these videos showcasing the first, business, and economy cabins of Etihad Airways, the national airline of Abu Dhabi.  We had to really move fast in tight quarters, so I shot everything handheld on 5dmkIII in RawRec.  We had a small dolly for some of the walking shots.

Thanks, I did experience some glitches.  After starting up the camera, the first recording would usually automatically stop at :07.  Even if I had card warmup enabled.

I also had problems with the camera just freezing and requiring a battery removal seemingly at random.  Usually after extended periods of shooting.

At higher ISO's (or extreme color grading), I see regular patterns of vertical bands appear in darker or more saturated areas.  And hot pixels are an absolute plague above ISO 3200 or so.

I attempted to use MLV, but I had such inconsistent performance (even at reduced resolutions) that I scrapped the idea and stayed with RawRec.
