I love the silhouette of the shirtless farmers and the combine in the distance that reveals the sun flare. Awesome!!! What lens did you use on that?

My clients are over the Moon with the footage I have delivered so I am carrying on. The Harvest stuff you've posted on the sight look amazing. Hope we run in to each other soon. Paul Thx Shane,

I am going to mail a link to my son who is just starting out on the filmmaking path. Seen in isolation, the "out-of-the-box" shots looks pretty good and yet even the fairly subtle changes you made transform it something so much richer. Are you still using the picture settings you showed us in December? Is that your good self on the "before" voice-over as I think I prefer it? It seems more genuine to the English ear. Hi Shane

Thanks for sharing this case study. I am going to mail a link to my son who is just starting out on the filmmaking path. Seen in isolation, the “out-of-the-box” shots looks pretty good and yet even the fairly subtle changes you made transform it something so much richer.

Is that your good self on the “before” voice-over as I think I prefer it? It seems more genuine to the English ear.

Yes we used some secondaries to bring out the golden quality in the wheat and take the red out of the sky The color grader is brought in right at the end of the project. You get the image as close as you can and then bring him or her in to finesse. To stretch this cameras latitude it is absolutely essential to use power windows and some secondary control.

Great stuff. A question on grading: I don't see huge color departures from the original footage; apart from the shot with the actor where you had a power window (presumably a tracker locked on his face to lighten it a bit, & on the screen), did you have to use a lot of secondaries elsewhere in the project? With Colorista II out now, I'm not seeing a whole lot that I couldn't do in Color.app before. I really, really hate rendering out clips (or as in your case, an entire flat file!) and "baking" the color in them. The kind of editing I do (corp. spots) calls for a lot of re-editing. Most of my spots also go to DVD, projection and web (some broadcast in various markets worldwide), as opposed to theaters and HDTV. My question is, when we're talking about building looks, at what point to do you call in those (talented and spendy) pro color graders? Thanks for sharing the breakdown, Shane & co. Great stuff.

With the sensor only reading every other line this is what we get. You just have to watch out for tight patterns and don't expose the cons of this camera. That is what I have been trying to do. Know its limitations and do not expose them. Paul Reuter, hey Paul, unfortunately it is a fact of life. With the sensor only reading every other line this is what we get.
