Don't fear the dark...

[Mark Toia]

Thank you Mark for the screen grabs of what you did. This is way more helpful than miles of talk about how to get similar results.
Were the shots from your Canon glass or something else?

Nice shots Mark!

BUT, for the Love of speed...

You really need to upload lighter files buddy... ;)

I shot a few night exterior scenes in a jungle environment (with big lights) at 1000 ISO. Grading on Nucoda FIlm Master in a 2K DI theater the shots don't need any noise reduction and look fantastic. I was able to soften the light more than usual because of being able to rate 1000. I also had some torches in the scene and I wanted the fire light to play on the ground and actors walking close to them so that was another reason to rate 1000. When the movie comes out I'll be able to put up some images as examples. When possible, I try to fill the negative on a darker scene and "print down"- usually rating as low as possible (up to 320) as allowed by the quality of light and stop I want to shoot at. But in this case, 1000 was the way to go!

Sometimes I even shoot FOR the noise...
Anything is ok, as long as you go for it... (these are NOT noisefree... And nor are they meant to be...)





Dark is beautifull in so many ways...

I absolutely love these.

how about sending these settings as a 'look back into the camera
