Happy to finally share this.

Shot just before the 4k updates came out. I used 50p 3x3 binning to produce a 1920x672 image that does not require stretching. I then scaled this up slightly to fit a 2.35:1 frame.

12-bit RAW. 1.1.3. Got around 21 seconds. Mostly Canon lenses. Graded in Resolve using FilmConvert.

Any questions drop a comment.

Wow, beautiful work! They dynamic range on some of those shots looks almost unreal. I don't think higher resolution would have added much to this, and your video reminds me how much more important content, composition, and proper exposure are than higher resolution.

Thanks. There may have been one or two sky replacements in some of the beginning shots  ;) Not really due to lack of DR though - just because the weather wasn't quite what the client wanted.

Wonderful use of 12-bit RAW (non-lossless, right?) and was this shot in 50p w 1920 50/60 3x3 from ML crop_rec.mo and not the 1080p 45/48 3x3 in one of the experimental builds, correct?
5D3.113 | 5D3.123 | EOSM.203 | 7D.203 | 70D.112 | 100D.101 | EOSM2.* | 50D.109

Great job Paul - nice light touch on the grading. I find FilmConvert to be a bit heavy handed at times - how did you work around this?

Bang on. Non-lossless 12-bit and 3x3 from crop_rec.mo (50p, 3x3).

You're right. When you first apply Filmconvert it tends to look muddy and underexposed. I fix this by immediately removing the grain (not sure why they deem 100 to be the default level), dialling back the curve a touch, lifting the shadows to about 103 and being meticulous with my exposure, highlights, shadows and WB settings in the Resolve Raw tab. Usually I end up bumping up the exposure slightly, even though I ETTR during the shoot (althought its kinda hard to ETTR with a HDMI EVF / Monitor when shooting 50/60 - no global draw! I had to rely on the scope in my SmallHD 502)

Amazing Work. Would be great to see more from you in future.

Really impressive - especially the audio. All extra sounds recorded there or added via stock after?

It was 113, Jan 13th.
Canon menu: 720p / 50p
ML: mlv_rec, crop_mo, crop settings were 3x3 binning, aspect ratio in raw settings set to 5:3 which gives you 1920x672, set it to 12-bit raw
Cards were Komputerbay 1066x 128gb

You should get around 20s

Very nice video!!!
Congratulations!!!!

Great framing (I love it).

1920 50p 3x3 binning is for me the most wonderful feature from the last experimental builds. I'm using it a lot. Just wishing a centered and non cropped preview for best framing, but for now is fantastic. I remember few months ago, ask for slowmotion with this quality was a ofense, and now... Here it is!!!!
Thanks everybody!!!!!!

was this handheld or steadycam? some of your text could use a contrasting color instead of white. I have the audio off so I'll never know if shes a bride and actually got married.

pastels are perfect for the subject.

A bit of both, it was about 80% shoulder mount, 20% ronin.

First of all, you did a great video, seriously, well done.
I don't understand very well why you say that there is no need to strecht with  1920x672?? is it because the black bars??
And why you didn't shoot in 1920x800 2.50:1 aspect ratio 14-bit lossless? you can get continuous recording.

14-bit lossless wasn't available when I shot this.

It was a 3x3 binning build that would let you shoot at 1920x672 unstretched.

Thanks for your quick answer.
I have been using ML for the last months. And I have noticed that people have to exposure very very well, if you dont want to get noise/grain. I have read in this forum lot of topics about this issue with the grain. Some people posted that we need to overexpose to dont get noise.
How was your workflow during the shoot to get this clean images??
Thanks for sour help beauchampy

Yep - I also overexpose. I use the ML RAW histogram as well as zebras. I expose as hot as possible until I start to clip out highlights I want detail in, then I dial back 1/3rd of a stop.

Thanks for your answer. I will make a test this week. By the way, i saw the videos of your vimeo channel. Congratulations they are brilliant

Wonderful. Really.
The dynamic range in some scenes is perfect (at least in my display), I can't see how it could be better (for human vision perception, not to some simple computer DR measurement).
Great job.
