Here's a screen grab from the model shoot yesterday, shot with the Sony a7 III, FE 85mm f/1.8, Hoya ND8, S-log2, ISO 800, f/6.3 and graded with Leeming LUT Pro. Very excited about the new LUTs, and S-log2 is now my very favorite picture profile; but the banding in the sky just kills it for... Continue Reading →

I still see lots of YouTubers grossly underexposing their S-log footage, which leads to a bunch of noise to deal with in post. Here's an example of a correctly exposed clip along with a screen grab from the same video on YouTube. Incidentally, prior to Athena, whether shooting Cine2, HLG or S-log, previous LUTs required...

With the release of Paul Leeming's 'Athena' LUT, Sony Alpha cameras now have dazzling color. The video was shot with the a7 III, Sony 85mm f/1.8, Cine2 picture profile and edited in DaVinci Resolve using an LG OLED as a grading monitor. https://youtu.be/GC3kx9BJW_o

https://youtu.be/nFG1XpcK2pE In this video, I give some brief early impressions of using an OLED TV for grading, how I think the soon-to-be released LG CX 48" OLED could be ideal for filmmakers and how I messed up the skin tones in my last video. 1. Straight out of camera. 2. Leeming LUT applied. 3. Graded... Continue Reading →
I almost always shoot Cine2, but a question from a forum member over at DPReview about noisy footage at ISO 3200 inspired me to whip out my a7 III and try out S-Log2 for only the second time in two years. I dragged the clip into the Final Cut Pro timeline, threw on Paul Leeming's... Continue Reading →
