Mark, were you using any gain? If so how much?

Good shots there Mark. I know the area well ;)

What colour settings did you use in camera and what type of grading post?

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Rick...The gain settings was +6db and low noise 1 and +9db and low noise setting 2 hope this helps

Mark

Hi Paul Thanks for your comments cine gamma 2 setting with the low noise option 1 at +6db and low noise option 2 at +9db...post grading very little except for some vingettes I left the exposure as captured rather than to lift in post...I think it makes it more real and true...

Mark, Amazing! Thanks for taking the time to post the footage and tell us about your settings.

is there a definition for "low noise footage"?

Beneath the great looking shots there is still enough contrast in most of the scenes (lights + darkness) , making the work with xdcam hd not too difficult.

I faced most difficult situations in lowlight, low contrast scenes, where you can easily face noise problems at 6 or 9 dB.

Thanks Mark,

Out of interest, what edit software do you use to create the vignettes?

Magic bullet looks as everyone seems to these days! Right Phil?

Thanks Mark, I never got Magic Bullet to work on my system with MXF footage (Matrox Axio system) :(
