I've been relying on Paul Leeming's LUTs for several months now to restore the rec. 709 color space to my Cinelike D footage, and more recently for previewing V-Log Lite in camera and for color correction in post. Last night, however, while I was reviewing a Cinelike D test shot with the GH5 prior to... Continue Reading →

Brian Caldwell, designer of the Metabones Speed Booster, revealed today that he's at work designing 1.79x anamorphic lenses. This news, sure to please owners of the Lumix GH5, comes on top of yesterday's announcement by Panasonic that the massive firmware update v.2, due out in September, will have in-body anamorphic de-squeeze. At the moment however,... Continue Reading →

To the best of my knowledge, nobody in the online filmmaking community has discussed or tested the Rotolight Neo, even though it is marketed to both photographers and videographers. On the other hand, small, rectangular, credit card-sized lighting solutions by companies like Aputure seem to be very popular. I'm guessing it's because the Neo is... Continue Reading →
Olympus 75mm f/1.8, ISO 400, f/3.2
I've lost count, but I think we're at twelve pounds now.

I've been shooting at the Saigon Central Post Office with my new BMD Video Assist and the ProRes 1080p files look gorgeous. It does require a bit more file space than the G85 4K files, however - one 64GB card fills up in around an hour. I should be sharing a new video in the... Continue Reading →
We're up to nine pounds now, kids.
Even to those who prefer shooting with DSLRs or mirrorless, I'd still recommend rigging your camera out - I mean, get yourself a cage and a monitor, not a hunking 7" one, but a 5" screen. You'll be able to compose better, the color and contrast will be much more accurate than the lousy 3" LCD... Continue Reading →
We're up to six pounds already... Anyhow, the past couple of weeks or so have been pretty crazy... what with my RodeLink malfunctioning (I think the micron adapter needs replacing, it's still in the shop), LUT Utility suddenly showing watermarks in FCP (I had to delete the plug-in, download and reinstall), then not being able...

I did a quick grade on the clips of the last video I uploaded. Hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/Z-liz1ZB7qU
I shot a short clip this morning using Cinelike D, exposed normally, imported it into Final Cut, and added the Leeming LUT with a -4 reduction in highlights. Which image has more accurate skin tones, in your opinion? Let me know! (1) SOOC (2) + Leeming LUT
