Andromeda Green Screen - New Clip

[Chris Nuzzaco]

The TIFFs are nice, full 444 indeed. I notice, as in their demo pix, a bit of patterning in the image (particularly on the pen cap).

I am curious - is it static or does it boil like grain? I could see it having a nice, filmy look, especially when uprezzed to 1080 (which softens it a little).

It "boils" like grain, if even. I've shot things that are virtually grain free, though its usually a shot with lots of lighter color objects (the highlights have less grain, like all digital cameras). I "expose to the right" then darken in post, this gives me the finest possible grain. I end up losing some latitude doing this (on the lower end), but thats a way of life no matter what your format if you want a clean image. However, at about 9.5 stops max capture latitude, I can have a nice 8 or 7 AFTER color correction..... =) lets see an HVX200 do that!

On the topic of uprezzing to 1080, it looks great, I actually apply a very small amount of sharpening, certainly gives a film look. The footage simply doesn't macro block, and I believe thats the reason why it handles the uprezzing so well.

Oh, by the way, I finally figured out how to make a zip file.... watch out for a post. I'll probably make a new thread for it. It will be 16 bit TIFF image sequence too :gun:

Me too! Does anyone here wanna mess with an uncompressed clip? I could upload a small TIFF image sequence for people to play with while they wait for their Red to arrive

I would love to play with the clip. rmott@ycp.edu
