Its probably the softer light and perhaps because they used more wide angle lenses. DOF wise it looks like your everyday typical 35mm film.

Oh well, just my view points It wasn't really a negative thing, it just for whatever reason felt different to me. Any info on the lenses used? EDIT: after watching it again, I know what bothers me, on the wide shots the dof is just too much, I'd like it a bit more shallow. Because the CU's are wonderful and have a good amount of dof (not overkill like some DSLR stuff) but then when it cuts between the wides, it just seems flat. I do like their story idea though, you can see it was specifically written to show off what the camera can do with all different types of lighting. |

Wide shots using short focal length lens do tend to have a large DOF, even with the lens wide open at f1.4 it can cover several feet either side focused at say 10 feet on a 25mm (which isn't that wide).

I think I'm now diving to deep into this, it was just a side note thats all. If someone else sees what I'm saying maybe they'll get it too. |

Keeping things consistent is always a problem and needs to be worked at.
Yes, I did notice the much softer background in the CUs than you'd expect given the nature of the wide shots. |

yeah exactly, I think thats what had me going.
On a lighter note, I really cant wait to see more footage trickle down the pipeline. I got my hands on some raw footage which is nice to play with, but now I'm loving what others are doing with the camera so far. |

I don't know if it's the grading, but I'm not very impressed by the look of the footage.. It looks very 5Dish to me, and I very much dislike the "Canon look", especially on the skintones. They are either harch or very soft, Like it's trying to give some sharpness/detail in processing thats not captured by the sensor.
My EX1 looks much more organic. Skins can be detailed and pleaseant at the same time. Again this might be a post issue. |

I believe its a post issue, also there are a few videos that are just way too video looking for my taste, but all you really need to do is look at the first film from convergence to realize its the DP behind it that makes this camera shine, just like any other.
You put a good man behind the camera and you'll get good footage, cameras don't shoot and color themselves. |

I watched the UK shot promo projected at 4K in the Norwegian Film Institute Cinema in Oslo on Tuesday. All I can say is Wow! It looked wonderful overall although I did spot a few slight artefacts in highly saturated reds, which look like typical 4:2:0 sampling artefacts. Overall is was just about impossible to tell this short from the short used to promote the SRW9000 which was shown about an hour earlier.
Can't wait to get mine!

This is actually 9 days old. I haven't seen anyone post it. How come you guys aren't out looking for video like me? :)
This is the making of the Red Ballon short. You can see lots of nice shots of the camera on set and they sprinkle a few in camera shots as well.
