  1. I just shot a short film using the Sony a6300. Half of the footage was accidentally shot in slo-mo. I believe we were at 120fps but due to a hectic shooting schedule once I changed the settings to where they should be I lost track of what i was shooting at. My goal is to have the final output at 23.97 but I'm having issues with playback after importing into premiere CS6. Any tips or tricks to save this footage in premiere. I've tried a few things to no avail.
  2. Hi everyone, Have a look at this film I released several months ago, shot with the amazing A7RII. Best, Luke
  3. I've recently embarked on a several month long trip with plans to make movie that I've been thinking about for quite some time. I bought the A7SII a couple weeks after it was release, spent another week or so testing with it, packed up and left. This was my first mirrorless camera and my first Sony, coming from Canon's DSLR's there has been a bit of a learning curve. At this point I've memorized just about all the menu's, got the custom buttons all set and am beginning to feel quite comfortable shooting with the camera. In my research I'd decided on a Picture Profile and settings to get the best image out of the camera. The purpose of this post is to get your opinion, and some feedback on my choice of settings. Which are as follows: Picture Profile Settings Black Level: 0 Gamma: S-Log3 Black Gamma > Range: Middle , Level: 0 Knee: > Mode: Auto , Auto Set > Max Point: 100, Sensitivity: Mid Color Mode: S-Gamut3 Saturation: 0 Color Phase: 0 Color Depth: 0 Detail: -7 > Mode; Auto, V/H Balance: 0, B/W Balance Type3, Limit: 7, Crispening:0, hi_light Detail: 0 Record Settings XAVC S 4k: 30p 100M XAVC S HD 1080: 120p 100M (for slow motion) Exposure I always try to over expose by 1.5 to 2 stops. I'd planned on using zebra's at +100 to keep my over exposure in check, but in my Picture Profile, I wouldn't see them even in the brightest conditions. White Balances Avoiding Auto white balance anytime I can. Shutter Speed I find myself shooting at 1/50th of a second pretty much all the time. I was shooting 1/60th at home, but in Asia that cause flicking with some light sources. I've also gotten strobing while shooting slow motion 120fps, and a the minimum shutter speed of 1/125th. The only solution I could find for this was to shoot 60p instead of 120p, which did not seem like a great solution. ISO Is almost always locked at 1600. I have prime lenses that go to f/1.4 so I rarely need to turn it up. When shooting at night, I have a choice of either underexposing my image or turning up my ISO. The higher ISO seem to have a lot of noise in the shadows with the settings I have, so I had chosen to underexpose sometime at night. I'm starting to think that's the wrong decision. I should keep turning the ISO up until my meter tells the image have correct or even slightly over exposure. Straight out of the camera the footage will have some noise, but once corrected back to Rec-709ish the noise should be better acceptable. Does this seem correct? Focus I had focus peaking on at first, but have found it to be not as accurate as I'd like. I've not got Custom Button 1 set to "Focus Magnifier" and I use it often to punch in to ~10x, check focus, back out, then start shooting. Concerns when reviewing the footage are: Noise and sharpness. I've been throwing a LUT on the shots to check my work at night, and even with that there still seems to be more visible noise than I expected. As for sharpness, since I've got it turned down to -7 in camera, I'm assuming there's something I should be doing in post to correct that. Unsharp mask? I'm editing in Premiere, Lumetri has a sharpness slider... Let me know if you thoughts of either of these issues. Here are some still frames straight out of the camera (4k has been scaled down to 1080). Sorry, I don't know the exact ISO for each.
