Awesome stuff Nick, that's amazing how you've mastered this stuff :) Anyway, I know you're working on even sharper matrix atm, but is it possible to go in the opposite direction as well? I love Chris Brandin's slightly softer AN444, do you think it would be possible to make a similar thing with Moon? Thank you.

@zaven13: its a nice lens. I got myself a cheap steadycam on ebay and with that lens and OIS (normally i am not a big fan of OIS as it sometimes seems to malfunction and sometimes movement looks artificial) you get a very rocksteady combination for nice steady cam shots.

@peternap Wow, that's the very definition of "inky blacks".

I can't wait to see what moon 4 brings to the table. because moon 3 is already showing some pretty great things. driftwood has really hit the nail on the head, i'm not usually one to be like "this is the best setting ever!" my mouth is watering to see what's going to be possible with the gh3, and this is coming from a guy that owns a BMCC lol

@vicharris I usually denoise in post Vic. I think it looks damn good considering I was using about the worst night lens in existence.

@GravitateMediaGroup Lens=Panasonic 14-140, which is a credit to moon because it normally does not preform well in low light.

The PNG is straight out of the camera and NR is -2

@peternap lens? and did you use any denoiser? cuz the bricks look REALLY good in this.

@exilenorth Was the Tides video shot at sunrise? I ask because if so, I'd say exposure is nice. Some may like more, but for a sunrise shot it's pretty damn cinematic as it is. Maybe driftwood will allow it as a late entry into the sunrise/sunset competition. This Tides shot you did would look great on big screen and could easily be a shot in a big budget hollywood film. Rock on!

Edit: Had originally watched on my Samsung S3 phone with brightness turned down, and it was dark, so thought it was a sunrise shot...and I liked it. Just turned on MacBookPro to watch, and it looked much lighter...but still looks good. If just a regular day shot, I say you could darken it for a sunrise shot...or go with one of the grades Nameless did for a nice looking day shot. Either way, good stuff.

@nameless Did you do any neatvideo stuff before you graded? I haven't got around to it yet. Might help out the blocking. I'll try and do one before neatvideo and after.

@nameless

still 009 is right where you wanna be : ) you might have the saturation boosted a little too much and it might be causing your issue. the gh2 is a great camera, but as far as pushing the grade THAT far, you will come to a point where you are doing a little bit of damage.

@rajamilak yeah, until you learn where the WB button is you might want to listen and take notes more than you comment. not trying to be rude, but I think you focus on other peoples work more so than your own.

Guys gonna wait a few hours to conduct some daylight tests. Apologies. Need to be sure its ok.

Thx a lot Nick, it's like telepathy - in the last hour i was toyin with the idea to have "Moon 4" in my hands and playin a little with it. You made my night...! ;-)
