![]() ![]() The A7S and other Sonys get the best results through intricate hard work. You have to put the learning work in to get results. If you don't do any of the above, then your footage will look like a pile of sick.Īgain, there's so much information on the A7S, LUTS and exposure. Sharpen subtlety and you have a very nice image. ![]() Then you need advanced colour grading skills - firstly to correct the image accurately, bring down the exposure (especially those mids) and use a LUT as a base for further styling if required. To get nice colour, it's required to modify the Slog2 profile (there's loads of help online), expose the footage at least 1.5 stops to the right and white balance correctly. I'm pleased with my footage from the A7SII. But an initial outing? No way.Īre Sony engineer smoking crack? I rent the sony A7SII camera, shoot some SLog2 footage and oooh my god it's horrible.Skin tones look like corpse, sky look like on LSD and those file are impossible to transcode.Ĭan you share your workflow to color correct those horrible colors on DaVinci resolve? Any free LUTs to recommend to me? If you really know your camera and are a wizard with Da Vinci Resolve then be my guest. It's been mentioned so many times on this forum that 8-bit prosumer log is more trouble that it is worth for many situations. Honestly I would never use an 8-bit prosumer codec with a log profile without heavy testing and tons of reading and advice. When you rent the camera test out two or three techniques and decide what you like. I mean search the forum or start a thread and you will get tons of advice from various sources. I just find it strange that you are posting on a forum with so much information about how to handle Sony cameras and files and yet you are asking advice from one guy at a rental shop. The BMPCC results blow the Canon T3i out of the water when handled carefully but the the results out of the T3i color wise are obviously much easier to achieve straight out of the camera. They are very different and how you expose, color correct, and grade the output takes quite a bit of thought. ![]() What is your experience level? There are multiple threads on this forum about working with Sony cameras and various workrounds/workflows. I've exposed the footage at +0,3 EV like the guy of the rental shop advise me. I was aslo recording both internally and externally to a shogun, I found that shogun files needed a data range adjustment before starting the above workflow. you can read about this adjustments in here: not allowed***/fix-crushed-blacks-on-sony-a7s-and-a7s-ii-external-recordings/ I also tried Resolve, first i applied Resolve's own Sony S-log 2 to Rec 709 1D LUT (from nodes panel) then found that I need to bring down the Gain quite significantly (I dont know why it happens) and then added a little bit of saturation and it gave me comparable result with premiere workflow. So in a nutshell: Apply channel mixer effect > Apply S-log 2 SL lut > Add contrast. I was Kind of happy with the results but then I tried applying Adobe's Slog 2 SL LUT (in lumetri effect, basic corrections) and found out that it game me better results and I no longer needed to manualy add saturation, just contrast. then I tried to add contrast and saturation with lumetri color. first I applied a color transform matrix to convert sgammut to rec 709. Here is my recent experience, testing A7R2 in slog-2 with Adobe premiere witch gave me good looking (not necessarily accurate) colors: But recently I realized that the problem was my workflow not slog2. I previously had the same feeling about Sony Slog 2.
