mc 7, i thought i saw a lut for canon in the source settings window, no?
Owen's iphoneGot some material (well, a feature doc worth of) Canon C300 material, shot
in LogC (?)
Now, can anyone explain to me why this way of shooting is actually better in
any other case than ' I haven't got the faintest idea where this is going'
scenario?
I mean, it is still 8 bit, nothing raw like, blacks are lifted (but without
detail, so why even bother?), no usable LUT's (or i am truely misinformed,
please let it be so),
so i find myself just yanking setup / gamma / curves to remap a few pixel
colors that could have been in 'about' the right spot anyways on a normal
video cam approach.
Again, granted, this might be good if the shooter has no clue at all, but
c'mon, how often is that the case where you bring a cam like this? Why not
shoot regular and define a look in the cam?
I still can do a lot on properly white balanced / exposed material, and in
most cases the in-cam defined look will be close, so the end result after CC
will be better than after grading these images.
Or, what am i missing?
(Note to self, do NOT, i repeat, do NOT start a discussion about putting a
light (or perhaps three...) on the scene will improve things above shooting
in a custom 'make it pretty in CC' mode...)
