Dope footage Billy. The noise in the flares were extremely interesting. I'm still debating whether or not I liked it...so uniquely "grainy."

Thanks man.
Indeed, I am of the same sentiments.
I just talked to the editor and he said on his calibrated monitor the raw files looked great however somewhere in the compression process it came out looking much noisier.
At first I thought it might be the Super speed mark I's at T1.3 breaking down, more so than the sensor or anything specific to the Epic.

Billy,

That looks awesome. My jaw dropped when I saw the overcranked walking at night with natural lighting from a street lamp!!!

Yeah NW love

A link to the night footage you saw pics of at the top of the thread. Billy is an animal!

Hey Stephen, nice editing pace. I'd use that final beat of the song to introduce another take perhaps a nice slowmo close-up and really give that final impression to the unconscious.

Someone at Vimeo commented about a layer of non-moving noise in the image. It really seemed weird. Is that a dirty filter of some sort or just fruit of H264 compression?

Talking to the editor today...should be coming soon (as long as it's not terribly sucky

Don't be modest, that's some nice moody gritty footage! :biggrin5:

THanks for sharing Billy...really smooth looking stuff, overcranked 5k is certainly is a certainly a new frontier.

 

[christopher witzke]

wow!

it's this kind of footage that sells cameras and puts fear in the minds of lighting manufacturers!

And... it makes me wonder what I could bribe Jim with to get an "M" now! But what could you give the man who has everything? There's just so much love flying around in here it almost hurts.

Thanks for the thought Pietro. I think the noise you're seeing is a combination of the glass and the compression. More so the compression. I made a Pro Res of the file and it's a little less noticeable. And Billy is right, on the calibrated monitor coming through RED Cine X the noise is substantially less noticeable. Still trying to troubleshoot to be honest. (Full disclosure, my wife just had a baby a couple days ago so I'm running a little behind on my list of to-do's)

The "tractor beam" flare artifacts are the result of us not using a matte box with these primes. They are zeiss super speeds. I'm going to put them on my MX, and play with the flaring.

I actually think the effect is quite awesome for this, especially when the car is driving, and the flare from the street lights float down like a mist.

As far as noise, it looks pretty darn clean to me.

Nice cut Stephan! That was a fun shoot!

 

[Meryem Ersoz]

nice cut - the footage was sweet but the edit really showcased it.

EPIC low light is killing it...

 

[Caleb Heymann]

Thanks for sharing the footage. So do the wider superspeeds cover 5k resolution?

 

[Álex Montoya]

Is there any chance that you make the 1920 file available for download?

The thing with Vimeo is that the maximum viewing resolution is 1280*720.

 

[albert rudnicki]

Thank you Stephan!
It's reassuring what Epic is capable.
Those night shots look great.

 

[Seth Hampton]

Great shots! Thanks so much for sharing!

I've made the video able for download on vimeo. Look in the bottom right hand corner of the video and it should allow you to download and save locally.

[Stephen Matthews]

vimeo supports 1080, you just have to select it in video options in the settings tab after you have uploaded the video.

 

[Chase J. Carnahan]

Hey stephan, did you end up applying any coloring schemes in Redcine-X? Everything seems to flow really nicely

 

[Álex Montoya]

Thanks a lot for that, Stephan.

 

[Rainer Fritz]

Thx a lot... awsome !!!!

 

[Stephan Gray]

I would say more tweaks than schemes. mostly FLUT and blacks.

 

[Stephan Gray]

No sweat. But Billy really deserves the thanks! He's the G!
