Sony FS100 color grading example Flat Picture profile

Ok random question but what's the song that's playing that's she's singing along to?

[SamKarns]

Ok.  I'm now a fan. Someone should be hiring you to shoot projects. Which camera you prefer shooting with dealing with low light conditions? And what camera is best for open field areas? How many are on your crew?

[syberfilm]

@SamKarns thank you.. I have no crew. I do everything by myself. The above shoot was me and the girl. I do all the post production my self as well. It would be awesome to have a crew. For low light I use F/1.2 or F1.4 lenses and neat video to clean up any grain. Open fields. Any lens would work for a field/. Since you want deep focus, you just need to step further back if you don't have a very wide lens. It's also good to shoot High angles to make it look larger as well on open fields

[SamKarns]

@syberfilm Where do you shoot your projects? 

[syberfilm]

@SamKarns Chaqpel Hill. I am sometimes IN LA and San Francisco as well.

@SamKarns As for cameras.. For the money as of December 2011. I like the Canon 60D with the Magic Lantern hack. you can do Variable framerates from 1-60 FPS. You can use Cinestyle by technicolor for the color profile and get professional results for very little money.

this lady can sing, definitely. Nice grading also, lol...

[angeloucciferri]

So which "look" is flat and which is graded? 

[syberfilm]

09 seconds and 30 seconds are the flat video. When you shoot flat, the colors are muted. You can bring them out in post production.

@angeloucciferri you couldn't tell the difference?

[DJROMERO2006]

excellent!!

[Alvinwhatup2]

You can achieve the same effect by putting a low opacity grey rectangle over your video. Rendering out the file, and grading the flattened clip. The benefits I see in shooting flat is that it tones down the highlights and pulls out details in the blacks when grading.

@Alvinwhatup2

The 'effect' of the grey is maximizing the dynamic range of the camera. If you don't have the detail to grade in the first place, you aren't going to be able to put it there in post.

[Alvinwhatup2]

@greeches The detail is there even when you aren't shooting flat, its just very subliminal. The grey just helps restore it. Even if adding the gray doesn't execute the job as perfectly as just shooting the footage flat. It's still a good technique, and has a very similar effect.
