I'm a Boston based Editor and Colorist, working all over this great country of ours. I'm also a video engineer at Rule Boston Camera - so there's that.
I really hope they go with rec2020 for HDR, and not some made up gamma.
It's not exactly 70's style, just influenced visually in set design, and mood. We are trying to do something sorta new, i.e. - using vintage glass and film cameras and introducing that to the modern movement aesthetic of handheld gimbals. Though, steadicam would make things much easier!
NICE! Let me know if you guys figure a way to remote start and stop, we were thinking about some possible drone work on this, but didn't feel burning all that film on liftoff was feasible financially.
Yeah, that made things easier to say the least haha. Shorter run times, though, so that's a new challenge.
Thanks so much! We've called around and done some pretty extensive research, mostly hoping someone else had flown film before. Seems we may be the first, which is pretty exciting/terrifying. We're pumped to show something new!
Firstly, I'm speaking more about what actual color space they are choosing to use as a gamma, built in to the actual technology of the display - rec2020 is a standard, "HDR" is whatever they want that's wider than rec709 or sRGB displays. That being said, you could use a rec2020 LUT on top of LOG footage being shot in that color space, most people don't view LOG when shooting. Having a LUT helps with exposure, among other things. But that's neither here nor there - really, what we need to figure out is what kind of standard they are making this panel to - what the hell is "HDR" really, according to Atomos?
