Awesome work as always guys. love the street scene as the cars fly by.
Great job
Q what is the S-Log?
I don’t have such expensive lenses, means will the basic lens gives such a wonderful pic?
how much will the F3 cost in EU ?
What is the ORIGINAL XDCAM footages-format?
What 3G 444-10 bits display monitor was used in your NLE?
What software was used for the 3G 444-10 bits S LOG GRADING?
Lastly, Why is it difficult to photograph-
PEOPLE WITH COLOR-EX. your night model-dark skin?
What all the “hits” we see in the log test video
Killer stuff guys,
I’m totally enjoying following along with everything you guys are doing -watching this industry take-off!
We really appreciate the feedback.
I am going to have one of the cinematographers.
SLOG: is a method of capturing more image data, to a high quality video signal.
As far as tossing data, the grade exists to merely make the image look natural. raw slog, and curve corrected slog. I that will alleviate a lot of confusion.
Cosidering the time constraints this sort of test should be taken with a grain of salt, and understand that technical perfection cannot be achieved.
Great stuff guys!
Always seem to push the envelope!
Can’t wait for the next!
Well done and congratulations to the entire production and post production team!

Filmmaking is about being real and honest .
Next Level Pictures thank you again for shooting some gorgeous stuff
S-Log on the NAB show floor would have had the same effect.
