Prague - 600D - ML RAW

[Jonit]

Hi everyone! 

I want to share my video that I made about Prague city.

The entire video was shot on 600D in MLV.
I used latest nightly build.

Resolution was set to 1536x642p (2.39:1) 24 fps. Buffer would let me take 5 seconds worth of video at a time, so in my opinion - not that bad
Timelapse scenes were filmed using FPS override (somewhere between 0.2 fps and 1 fps, depending on the lighting conditions) mode at maximum resolution (1728x724p).

Lenses used: Tamron 10-24mm, EF-S 18-55mm (kit lens).
Stabilisation: Camtree Wonder-3

Exported to ProRes in MLRawViewer (C-Log applied). Edited and color corrected in Premiere CC (Osiris KDX LUT at 50% opacity).

Excellent work @Jonit and honestly this is by far one of the best coming from a 600D. If you hadn't mentioned it ... I wouldn't know which camera you had used.

The colors were pleasing and warm to my eyes. Guess the C-log from MLRV did help a lot. Sounds like you are on Mac, if so please check out @Danne's MLP or @dmilligan's MLVFS.

I also noticed flicker occurring during the Timelapse footage. Doesn't that bug you? How exactly did you do the grading in post?

Lovely job, well done - and brings back happy memories!

Thank you very much to everyone for kind words .

@DeafEyeJedi I like to play around with RAW on this little sweet camera, It's a lot of fun .

The thing I'm a little unhappy about are skintones. I was editing it on and old HP laptop (not a Mac and the display on that thing is not something a videos should be color graded on... ouch...  they turned out to be quite different from what i was seeing on that laptop.

But other than that, I'm pretty happy with the overal result (yes, the flickering is bothering me a little, but I didn't have patience to work on that in post, so I did leave it like it is).

I really like the profile of C-Log. It's my most favourite for 600D RAW.

Grading was actually super easy (I wouldn't consider it "grading" tbh) . I just used one adjustment layer in Premiere CC, put one LUT to convert C-Log to LOG and then apply another LUT, in this case Osiris KDX (at 50% opacity, or something around that value). And of course, before that, in MLRawViewer I adjusted expousure and WB.

Timelapse shots were edited in Adobe ACR as DNG frames.

Ah, you bet! Re: SkinTones -- check out @Andy600's Cinelog-C.

Does wonders on colors meanwhile keeping skins looking normal as it gets.

The Timelapse stuff indeed looked very ACRish and love how the blacks turned out! [emoji106]
