Got this camera thanks to this sub. Shot a short film on it that got into a festival! thought I would show off it's SOOC camera quality (quite lovely) compared to its low-fi video quality.
pros: viewfinder, so cool ; manual controls
cons: crazy cards, kind of cool too
thank you digital camera reddit <3
My first short got into a film festival, and I need some help regarding grading advice.
My film is shot in 144p old DV footage. I have 'graded' it in FCPX with the rec709 display on my Macbook Pro, in a dark room. I have not changed colours at all, and basically only touched brightness, contrast, gamma curves and saturation slightly. Just slightly enhancing out of the camera footage, and I'm happy with how it looks.
I'm aware this is definitely not ideal conditions, but my question is will the film look dramatically different to what it does now if I get this version of this film professionally made into a DCP?
I might be able to get it looked at professionally or try and do a test screening, but it would be tricky financially and time-wise.
Any reassurance, criticism, and advice greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I can't seem to find a definite answer to this, as my case is a bit particular. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.
