5D mk3 RAW Slow Motion /// JAPAN

[davidanthonyparkinson]

Hey everyone. This is a film I shot in Japan back in February. Only just had time to edit it.

90% of the shots are shot RAW at 50fps in bursts.
I'm pretty happy with the results I think.

Thanks for watching.

[Sidneywish]

Great. Did you apply any other slow motion in post? Or is that all 50fps?

[nikki]

did you have rig?
just using the IS..on the lens

[Psyrco]

Great footage, love Japan too.

[davidanthonyparkinson]

Yes sorry forgot to mention I also used Twixtor for a number of shots.  Almost all of it was shot at 50fps, some at 24fps.

Obviously using Twixtor you loose a bit of sharpness but overall it still looks pretty good to me. 

Thanks for watching.

Yes I had a glidecam 2000. Probably my favourite tool.

Gorgeous grade. Would love some tips about your thought process while grading in general here

[sylvain_c]

great gwork, you grade in resolve?Are you using the news impulz lut??

[davidanthonyparkinson]

With the grade I've tried to emulate film stock.  Basically lift the blacks a little bit. Lower the contrast. Warm up the mid tones. Ad a little hint of green to the blacks and then desaturate. Then ad a really fine grain to it using film convert. 

It helps starting with 5D raw footage because it has much more dynamic range. Makes grading a lot more fun for sure.

Thanks for the kind words <3

Looked at all your work David.  Beautiful. So observational and clean.  Could I ask you what lenses you use?.  Do you mostly shoot with a 5D in RAW?.  Thanks.

[davidanthonyparkinson]

Thanks very much.

I don't usually shoot with RAW actually. Only on 2 or 3 projects. The truth is dealing with the RAW footage is a pain in the ass and its unreliable. I've lost a whole CF card worth of footage once because it was corrupted.  I've actually just purchased a RED Epic so will be using that for a lot of things now.

Lenses I usually use are 24-105 f4,  16-35 f2.8,  50 f1.2,  50 f1.8,  35 f1.4

Cheers!

Wow, this video is freakin' awesome. I also made a video about Japan, but your video puts my video to shame.

2 thumbs up.

Very very nice! The sequence 25 seconds into the film is jaw dropping! Very inspirational!

[beauchampy]

Would love to know even more about your grading process...

What do you grade in? Do you start by making the image flat using a LUT or otherwise?

[TehThird]

Very nice. Good grading too
