Re: Monitoring S-Log color
Setting a LUT on set doesn't supercede what will happen in the color session, it does mean that the footage going to editorial and dailies will get an approximation of the final look so it's not a...

Re: Monitoring S-Log color
I used the HDLinks on "Key & Peele" last season with the F3's (because we were shooting 422 S-log and at that time all of the outputs were s-log) and we were able to dial in most of our looks with...

Re: Learning to fly......the Merlin
Hi Marcus: sadly, I'm a bit of a hack with the Merlin, as are many big-rig operators. It's so damn delicate! Kind of like: a real helicopter pilot won't automatically be a good RC helicopter pilot,...

Every stabilizer of this type is prone to the issue as you described, Noa (losing horizon when moving sideways). It's not a design issue as much as part of the finesse of the operator. The solution...

I can see the logic of a fully-controlled green screen shoot being shot out of s-log--I guess. But of course many times green screen elements are shot within a given scene (i.e. bring in the...

Re: Tropical Blackbird In Action
Paul, you have a very developed sense of "cornering", that is, dialing in the pan as you approach and take a corner or doorframe. Budding stabilizer operators should take note. The technique requires...

Re: Is the F3 for me?
On "Key and Peele", I used an HD Link Pro to dial in LUT's with the F3 (pre-current firmware, so all outputs were s-log in 422). On Alexa shoots, I toggle between the s-log and REC709. So actually,...

Re: Is the F3 for me?
I totally disagree. It's about capturing a range of values that you can then manipulate in post as required. The more range you have to work with, the more you can fit into the delivery master.

Re: Is the F3 for me?
S-log makes a huge difference to the look of the footage produced by the F3. Much more control and greater dynamic range as you noted. It's almost like two different cameras.
