@producer Seems you were able to perfectly match/replicate the image style from Snitch.

@johnhizzle That opening graphic reminded me of a 1978 Sunday afternoon turning on the TV...and bam!-somehow Soul Train is always on. Very cool.

Just tried to get a cinematic look as the movie snapshot and it was actually very easy.

Here is the original picture:

@driftwood: My point is a comparison of the frame grab above with the frame grab below which is from "Snitch" 2013.

Color corrected frame grab - Moon T6 (14-45mm):

@driftwood I've been shooting with Moon5 more and more lately and I have to say it's just a really enjoyable setting to work with. The colors are great right out of the cam and I'm learning how to light better, which gives me much more room in post to CC and grade. My editor is an old time director from the UK that AD'd on Star Wars and Indian Jones movies and he's continually impressed with the footage and what he can do in post. I've heard him a few times curse his Canons as to why they couldn't do what that little "P.O.S box does". It's very funny to hear. Of course he's kidding but he's an old, dirty, Brit with a odd sense of humor :)

Hello guys. It 'a bit' of time not within the topic of the hacks, I wanted to know: we have reached a "definitive hack"? Today I know better my needs, I would ask the experts of the group a hack to focus on people as the main protagonists of my film .. the faces, you know .. I have the sandisk 95MB / s.

Thanks

@kavadni- I see your problem having to stop down so much to keep your marks in focus! Are you actually doing camera moves?

If you have any shorter focal length lenses available, you'll be much better served since (I imagine you know this) shorter focal lengths give you a deeper plane of depth of field. But of course that depends on what you have available in terms of lenses and you'd obviously have to work with the camera much tighter on your subject.

Good luck!

Hey Lads! I shot this promo for a client using Moon T5. Any criticism is welcome. :-)

@Oedipax Thanks, means a lot. I used the good ol tripod in the passengers seat move!

@virgilr and @manstok ... I agree with both of you.

@virgilr, The aim of the post is precisely to show you guys the result of the single click.
And, I m pleased that you speak of the white level only and not stair casing at the edges.
The plan (hope ) is that neat video will soften the edges a little.
Screen balance = 5 / Clip White = 90 / Despot Black = 3 ... and that matte is acceptable. Blur / soften / wrap the edges during the actual composite.

@manstok, after earlier tests I decided I would rather deal with noise than motion blur (1/100).

Tonight the real test comes with the wider shots .... she goes back, closer to the wall and the floor is uncovered. At the distance (about 12 feet) she is from the screen, even at f8 I cannot get tracking markers in focus.
I am running out of lights ... I will need to pull out some tungsten and some gels.

@kavadni- Just to say I downloaded your original MTS and played with it in Ae with Keylight. Not sure if you've done much keying, but you'll absolutely need to tweak the clip white at least to make sure you don't get any background bleed through the actor's face. As well, when I was previewing I noticed a ton of noise in the actors' skin tones when using Keylight- had to move the screen balance slider quite strongly to the left (value of 14).

As per usual keying with gh2 footage ain't all that great, but useable results can be acheived.

Currently doing my first shoot where the GH2 is the A-Cam. I elected to use Moon T5.
It's a Music Video with a bit of Green Screen.

The PNG images represent a One-Click-Key in Keylight (AE CS6).
Nothing except for choose the colour .. not much to do that Matte.

I have uploaded a .MTS, incorrectly slated out take to Vimeo, if anybody wants to look closely.

Camera settings were:
1080 24P, Standard, -2 for everything.
ISO 1250
Shutter 1/100
Minolta 50mm 1.4 @ f8

A Trailer i made for a dance performance using moon t5, great patch!!
