Hi Doug,

I shoot with the factory default preset. I don't generally like to shoot with any correction done within the camera as my latitude for correction in post has be compromised after using a camera preset. In almost every shot I have stretched the blacks to increase the contrast and sometimes a bit of colour saturation is added to liven up the colours slightly. My tools of choice in that regard are the new Magic Bullet Looks 1.1 or the colour correctors and secondary correctors in Vegas Pro 8.

This footage contains both 30f and 24f footage all rendered to 23.97 .h264 for Vimeo. You can especially notice the 24f judder during the pan/tilt up to the frog. It's the one point I wish I had gone to either 30f or 60i. I'm having better luck with pans shot in the 30f so I think while I like most things in 24f, the faster 30f still has a filmish look with less chance of judder.

Thanks for the compliments. If I ever get the time...(LMAO, I have three jobs until fall) I would love to put all the footage I get from the park this year into a longer length documentary or travel info video.

Very nice demo reel btw! Good looking video and well done graphics and effects.
