  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Second Day Goodies

Color is limited to 2K at this moment. Not sure if that will change in the upcoming releases though.

It's also very slow... No way I would consider finishing anything longer than a 30-second spot with it if I'm working with resolutions greater than 720p. Seriously. It needs a major update.

NO APOLOGY NEEDED. You should be shooting! Is anyone else posting stuff? No - and I don't blame them one bit. Take your time.

ok, that's enough time. hurry up.:biggrin:

No need to apologize when doing a huge favor. Just take your time, and when the time is right, make our jaws drop!:w00t:

sadly, yes. However, there are other $$$$ D.I. solutions emerging, also one for OSX.
Iridias has a 1080p version which is -really- good.

Also it seems that they want to support RED RAw. When i spoke with a rep of them, he said that they would be really interested.
 
im glad you guys got back on track.

Its easy to sway off course, and start pushing buttons and getting lost very quickly.

Evin has a Waveform there, and Im assuming he knows how to use it so i was surprised to see the botched images at the start of this thread... its something thats pretty important.. if stuff starts to look like wrong, back up. start over, ask questions. We are all here to help. Graeme is usually the smartest guy in the room and can help point you in the right direction. :)

Like Graeme said, this is new territory for most people, with a new workflow, a new camera and a new piece of software. Dont worry about your cameras being messed up, because me and Jim personally shot and tested each one of your cameras out.

Here's another random one. Forgive the colors and the horrible curve - that's my fault. I'm still trying to figure out what happens to colors between applications here.

I may put a little clip of this shot up in a few minutes - depends on how it looks when H.264 wreaks havoc.

Good points. The funny thing is that we kind of just kept shooting without ever looking at the footage afterwards. Many times it ended up online before we even got a chance to sit down and slide some sliders.

If exposure was botched at all, that's just excited carelessness on our part. :)

tonaci can you send a screen grab of your red alert setting on this clip?

and im very glad you guys are showing this and getting this kinda feedback loop going.. its what happens in the real world.

I wouldn't call them bothced just tested aggressively. Part of figuring this baby out is seeing where it's limits are. We knew that the stuff that was exposed three, four or five stops down wasn't going to be perfect but it's still damn nice if processed correctly. And it's hard to know how much of the waveform to trust, once you get the images into the computer it realy becomes harder to nail what the right exposure would be. It's very subjective and scene dependant. The first Blair "Hero" shot was properly exposed was it not?

These aren't exact [we aren't saving everything... flying through settings quickly just to see what looks like what], but this is pretty much what I did to that one.

Thanks for the link, but do you know how much $ is their present version?

The Speedgrade HD is 9.999 here in the EU.
They offer a free trialout if you contact them.
Great product.
 
press the histogram button while you are looking at stuff, it will help you out to make sure your not crushing the blacks.

its also good to be looking at stuff in gamma 2.2.. it looks like your gamma is changing from your DI to your export.

heh heh.. i was complementing you Evin.. i know you have had that monitor for a few years now and i know u how to use it.

Shooting isnt the problem.. its processing, which can get a bit tricky. Even when i get a new tool i push all the buttons and crank all the knobs to get somewhere.
 
Did my own spectral analysis. Nice B curves (blue). Shoulder looks good. Elbow needs to be brought up a bit.
