I'm Gerald Undone and I approve this message. 😜🤓👍 I've always liked/respected that you guys shot log and that your shots look great. Your input on this topic should be considered quite valuable. Also, this video was intense! It was a like an action movie watching you record all those menus with only 3% battery left. Then the light died. 🤣 Lastly, we should probably give some credit to Paul Leeming for the discovery of the increased saturation trick to remove the colour artifacts on the 8-bit cameras. Love you guys! 💜👊

[@BeckiandChris]

🤣🤣 thanks G! Means a lot coming from you! Hahaha every battery was near dead “can we do this in 15 minutes?” Seems to be a common saying in our studio. Thanks for the tip about Paul! Didn’t know he discovered that trick!

[@AlexGTech]

Thanks Gerald for the recommendation, what a great channel! And nice video as well!

[@JoshZlaket]

Gerald is KZbin’s Mr. Spock and it is fantastic. Never change, Gerald. Live long prosper🖖🏻

[@frankinblackpool]

@@BeckiandChris Here's Mr leeming's exposure clip which gave me that lightbulb moment for exposing Log footage kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpDFdZeHhaanl9U Funny how his name is almost like mine 😀

[@UTAZCO.Overland]

I agree, G-Man. I shoot HLG3 exclusively, just because I can't get SLOG2 to cooperate :). Should be a very different story once I get my Siii...

[@itschrishuerta]

I’ve seen enough of y’all’s (sorry, I’m from Texas) videos to see how fast Chris can talk when he gets nerdy. I really appreciate how he intentionally slowed down to explain a lot of these technical details without getting too far into the weeds. There was lots of great information here that was easy to digest and provided actionable steps for users to go try this out for themselves. This is the type of information you pay for, so I’m grateful that you all make that available FOR FREE. Thank you! :)

[@brianbui]

I usually never comment on videos. I've watched so many guides on LUT and always ended up having questions and being confused. Seriously, thanks for making this video and also giving us a free LUT and showing your workflow down to the T. I learned alot and this vid helped me alot

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

Great video. Thank you. 1 thing I particularly appreciated is that you speak neither too fast nor too slow. It makes following your tutorial very pleasant. Keep up the good work.

[@codyandvictoria]

This is THE ultimate Slog video. Just the stuff you need to know and easy to understand. Tempted to try it out again

[@BeckiandChris]

Yessss come to the slog dark side 😈

[@thewanderingjacobs]

whoa, cool to see people i follow watching videos i myself am trying to learn about (3 years late lol)

[@TimConnor13]

Been shooting HLG2 on the A7iii and A6400 for so long.. decided to starting shooting LOG recently and so pumped you guys are willing to share and help out the community 🤘🤘

[@jessealanyeakle]

I’ve been loving your colors for literally the beginning of time.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks Jesse! That means a lot!

[@zavadventures]

Oh what a drop of knowledge here! Also wanted to point out that the LUT for SLOG2 has waaaaay more cinematic look than the Sony utility LUT. WAY MORE. We just swapped these luts on our nearly finished client project and it literally made it from "It's ok" to "woah it's really nice looking!". Thank you guys!

[@BeckiandChris]

So good to hear!

[@diegolacort]

We love nerdy talk Chris... its Ok

[@BeckiandChris]

I always send him in for a good nerdy explanation 😂

[@cestycinou]

Yes we do 😁👨🏻‍💻👨🏻‍💻

[@srijonmondal8842]

Absolutely we do 🙌🙌

[@ClassicPolly]

Nerdy video on S-log? YES, please. All the happy vibes from Europe to both you and Becki :)

[@Matt.Gillard]

I love that I can learn something new by doing these things AND support an awesome couple by using their LUTS

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks Matt!!

[@reverie3806]

Hello! Fan here from the Philippines! I am just an 18 year old boy who plans to create contents in the future, and I thank you Sir Chris and Ma'am Bekki for inspiring me (a lot). More power and more sick films to come. God bless you guys as always! :)) #TeamDark&Moody

[@leslieseto]

This definitely makes s-log3 less scary. Been shooing HLG but now with the A7S3, gonna try to shoot s-log3 . Thank you!

[@naeemkhota]

Recently, I have been educating myself about log formats and would you believe that I was about to buy an S-Log 2 LUT today!!! When I got the notification for this video and read the title it gave me chills 😂!!! I Always learn so much from you guys and this video was perfectly timed for me! I Love and appreciate what you guys do!

[@naeemkhota]

Just purchased the S-Log2 and utility LUT and the email link and notification that you liked my comment came at the same time ❤

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I'm so glad someone else uses the Gamma assist! I didn't know my camera had it until a few months ago and it makes a world of difference!

[@joet9451]

By far the best I’ve seen on simple slog! Luts purchased and now a happy camper. Thank you

[@DustinHarrelson]

Literally every video niche KZbinr: “if you wanna learn more nerdy details check out Gerald Undone” 😂 I love it

[@BeckiandChris]

His videos are the best!!

[@ClassicPolly]

That is the official KZbin advise policy for now :)))

[@gregbarbosa0]

Ahhhh I'm so happy this exists. Your look is the thing that started my deep dive into SLOG. Thanks for bringing this all together! Learned a ton.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks Greg! Glad to hear it!

[@vangelisgoutas4300]

You know u are a true fan of Becki and Chris when u buy the full pack before even watch the video! Now seat back and enjoy the video! Trust level 💯 +!

[@BeckiandChris]

Aw thanks so much!! Hope they work great for you!

[@calebcolledge]

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS HELPED ME!!!!! I've spent about a year messing with a million profiles on my Sony a6600, going down rabbit holes grading in Davinci, rec709 conversions etc etc and this specific changed the game for me.Thanks so much Chris!

[@Mtdronespro]

The Full S-LOG Pack ...... way to go finally i can match all my Cameras ... Thank you GUYS !

[@the.alexander]

Thanks guys. Ever since started full manual with the camera this will be my next step.

[@steventhebroker]

This is literally the first time I can say I watch a video on Slog grading and actually feel like I get it! Thanks 🙏🏽

[@carlrobinson13]

Just tried this method today i must admit must S-Log2 footage on my a6500 has alway been rubbish followed your steps droppped your lut on lowered the exposure a smidge small amout of contrast and its the best looking S-Log2 footage ive had ever!!! Cheers guys :D

[@guzsaputra]

Exactly what i need as a beginner , thank you so much..

[@dennissagwitz772]

yes the boring and nerdy stuff..alas...essential to get optimum film looks..prolly gonna watch this a dozen times to get the full grasp. Thanks for taking the time to explain

[@CrackaLackTV]

Very helpful.

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

11:41 Sony A7SII (or FX3) settings begins. Thank you SO much guys!

[@GilbertoVillanueva]

100% RECOMMENDED I HAVE USED YOUR LUTS AND THE TRUTH IS AN AWESOME HELP IN FACT I AM USING THEM IN MY PUBLICATIONS IN. MY CHANNEL

[@klintk215]

Here and don’t even own a Sony. Love the content and the nerdiness behind it. Lots of good info. And O M G those title cards. Love them. So clean and beautiful. Great video! I love seeing the B&C notification on my phone.

[@DannyBlair_]

Been diving into this topic for about a week and then BAM you release this...thank you!!! Couldn’t have come at a better time.

[@brooxmahr2917]

that LUT is perfect to my eyes! i hated all the other ones i found

[@hendrosetwn3352]

OMG. I wait along for this video

[@aalonso55]

Amazing video!!! Starting to use slog2 on my a6400 more and more and this was so insightful

[@bradmurphy5750]

Becki out of nowhere "Oh Shit!" LOL!! Its now an official Becki and Chris video!

[@AmritaBhortake]

I love these nerdy videos. This was so helpful. I had given up on my slog2 because the noise in the shadows kept bothering me. I need to try out your settings and give it a try again. Thanks so much, Chris.

[@MichalOlender]

This definitely helps out to get some more understanding when it comes to log shooting, thanks guys!

[@lukebohemian]

Always found this side of creating videos a little overwhelming but thank you for breaking this down!

[@Littlelionmedia]

Yes. This is one of the reasons why I love the videos you guys make. This video is example A and example B is just you guys are cool and seem pretty chill and that’s pretty great.

[@CharleyPangus]

I can see noise in your background. I found that taking the mid-tones all the way down and raising shadows fixes all noise! I have a video using this method and the results are impressive! Great video non the less.

[@pierre-louis9217]

thanks for the advices, i've finaly found a tutorial on slog 2 and how to expose and edit it, really helpfull thank you !

[@brockwunder]

Easily the most informative tutorial I've seen on this topic. Thank you so much for putting this out!

[@booflive]

I love when you guys do tutorials! You guys have some of the best looking footage on KZbin:))

[@BeckiandChris]

Oh wow thanks so much!

[@DastageerHC]

I have been experimenting with A6400 but it'l was hard to find any good informative video on a6400, thank you so much for this video

[@SpencerHogg]

Thanks for sharing this one with us! Excited to try the Lut!!

[@NikkiandJames]

Thank you for sharing all the settings! Very helpful.

[@danggood]

don't even shoot sony but watching because you guys are great.

[@jamesshort6856]

Yeeesss!!!! Chris vid!!! Your videos are so good at the moment. Epic home improvement videos, and epic camera fancy fancy videos.

[@NickAndersonCreative]

the exact video i've been looking for, for years.

[@NickAndersonCreative]

thanks Chris!!!

[@VictorAraujoLP]

Amazing luts!

[@tanishkverma2208]

Excellent!! Best tutorial on yt pls keep these videos coming. There are alot amateurs out there who have no idea how to start. Thanks for the video. Peace ✌️

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

A Chris video!!

[@enochporch]

This is the best breakdown I've found. Thanks.

[@JeffCorcelius]

This video made my day. I’ve had my a6400 since August and I haven’t had the best luck with my videos and s-log 2. Frustrated with old a6400 videos on KZbin, and overwhelmed with Gerald Undone videos & DSLRVideo Shooters Sony Color video it’s been a learning experience nonetheless. I can’t wait to pick up the LUT and try this new workflow. I’m pretty sure I’m not over exposing properly and need to tweak a few settings in camera. Thanks for keeping the a6400 still relevant. Cheers~

[@BeckiandChris]

Aw glad to hear that! Hope this one is helpful and the LUT helps your workflow! The a6400 is a great camera, just takes a bit of shooting and experimenting to get a feel for what gives the best results. The color noise fix LUT with the saturation adjustment made a massive difference but we’ve also been using the original one as well with good results minus the color noise. 😊

[@JeffCorcelius]

​@@BeckiandChris Just picked up the new LUT and got my camera settings squared. My biggest question is do these camera settings and new LUT work well with outdoor footage nature shots?

[@wandaphili]

This video was the best slog video I’ve watched 🔥

[@apidas]

ayy, a doctor that's also a camera nerd? that's a win for me

[@NickDelDuca]

Your color grading has always stood out as excellent to me. I've never really been happy with the footage from my A7iii. Have not been able to get it to look exactly how I want. I will check this out, Thanks!

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks! Hope this helps your a73 footage!

[@ahponte]

Thank you guys. I feel that i needed this a long time ago. I just used your settings this weekend and purchased the luts for My a6400. Wish me luck on the editing process.

[@sonnyjuraa]

How did it go ?

[@PhillipGibsonPhotography]

I love how informative your videos are! I really appreciate the knowledge. Plus you fly helicopters and that’s so sick!

[@MikeBrunetti]

Thanks Becki & Chris! You two are the best!!

[@KYLERHOLLAND]

Love it friends!

[@EvanSchneider]

Great workflow! Thanks for sharing!

[@theeguillen3984]

...For Sony cameras...sigh...it's like even cameras have their own politics...left right...ugh. Can't we all just get a log?

[@BeckiandChris]

“Can we all just get a log” 🤣💀

[@ClassicPolly]

lol, made me chuckle ^^

[@MaxBalzer]

Super informative! A Chris-only tutorial... and that HAIR! Great video!

Chris, it is always such a pleasure to see your face! Thank you for all of the awesome knowledge that you shared with us today! Keep talking nerdy to us man. Also, I will be testing this lut on my Z6 camera just for fun. hahaha. Update: This log profile looks really good on our Z6 footage! Woo! Thank you guys!!! HAS ANYONE NOTICED HOW LONG CHRIS'S HAIR IS NOW??? NO? Just me? ok...

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks guys! Also that’s so great to hear it works on your footage!

[@breehimself]

You guys are a goddamn power couple. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@kshitijshete3954]

Thank you so much...!!!! The lut is very helpful.

[@rosemaryfengchannel]

For a beginner, there is a gap between use sony6400 original common setting compared with log and how to make the colour vivid again. I hope you guys can bring up a series online class for us. Thank you😊

[@justonbrazda3846]

Yes, been waiting for this from you guys

[@denverbailey]

I don't use Sony, but still enjoyed the video!

[@niallgardens]

Super useful video, thanks! The one I’ve been waiting (and hoping for!). I’m still recording in the default profile on my A7riii because so far I’ve found s-log, HLG, etc... just a bit too tricky. Looking forward to trying out your LUTs. Can I ask a question? The majority of my videos are shot out in my garden so there are A LOT of greens and green tones. Do you find these tricky to work with in your workflow, and would you have any tips for working to produce pleasant green tones in plants etc...? Thanks guys! 🙏 😊

[@RianSpaulding]

Thanks for this! 👍
