Only if the Footage looked as good as this frame grab. is it the colorist? the tools or what?. to me the footage looked muddy. not that I am an expert by any means. perhaps I should wait for spider man.

Albert,

this are only Test shoots that we are doing so to see what we can do with the camera under different situations, material has not been
taken to a Professional house to edit and or Color grade, this is done on the same day on the spot, literally by Luis Flores while we were
rapping up, so please just look at it for what it is, instead of immediately try to criticize.

I am more then certain that any footage shot and processed in post with few Hundred Million dollars at hand will look a bit better ;)

Come on, do you expect more from Vimeo?

Thanks Piero, but this is actually not something to do with Vimeo, its just that this is a super fast Edit on the spot as replied to Albert's, quote, I guess we should not post any or all of our Test shoots, unless we can afford both time and money to take it to a Post house ;)

He he, thanks Franck, the next few shoots, no more tests, will make you scream, so prepare yourself, as the girls
will be screaming really loud... while they play ;)
 
Very stylish Ketch.
I notice you liked my Sister's interior decorating style.

it was not my intent to denigrate your work by any means (I actually admire you). I went by the credits, and the notion that a Colorist applied his expertise to the images just threw me off. Plus bare in mind that this is the most anticipated camera ever. and when you see footage not so epic, well you know what happens. ohh and I know 1000% that they are JUST tests but still for some estrange reason, I am expecting to see epic images. like the NY Models shots Mr. Jarred Land posted.
Again I do apologize I now this are just tests so keep them coming. please.

No apologies need Albert, actually Lu should have not posted Colorist, but DIT/Editor, even so He did a super fast
and very light pass of color.

Count on me keeping the footage coming ;)

Thanks Andreas ;)
 
Looks like you are "working" pretty hard there...:devil:

nice pictures, BTW
 
Beautiful, beautiful work, Ketch! Thanks so much for sharing.

I love the look you've accomplished - can I ask about your lighting setup? I notice you added Briese lighting in your credits - I assume for the girl in the hallway / by the mirror. Can you share which you chose and how they were placed? It almost looks like an octagonal softbox in the bar scene, is that correct?

Thanks again - it looks incredible.
 
I think people need to see these tests for they are - tests.

Personally, I'd much rather see test footage of beautiful people fooling around than the usual cat/plant/park footage that people usually offer up.

This test looks less digital than most, I can certainly see its cinematic quality. Thanks for sharing Ketch.
 
Thanks for the response, Ketch.

That wrap-around light is just amazing. The images I'm seeing from you and Jarred with Epic and Briese lighting are astonishing. I'm thrilled to hear you got these results without the 330, which I'm sure produces stunning results but seems a bit too big in many instances to be manageable. I love the idea of Epic + Briese; it's definitely a winning combination. I can't tell you how much I hope a company like B2Pro starts selling (not just renting) these lights.

Thanks guys,

yeah I'm not in to lifeless tests, even so I do like to shoot Food, architecture and nature in general ;)

Next shoots will be with some action and some very SDOF.

Yeah Briese are the IT of Cinema Lighting and we will be suing exclusively Briese and LED lights.
