I feel like I just received a graduate school education in exposure physics. I'm saying this as a compliment to the thoroughness of your presentation! I've depended on zebra bars since I moved from motion pictures to video: but I've never thought about using the zebra bar set-up menu as a means to gauge skin tones and middle gray exposure. Brillient!

This video became my exposure Bible for my Sony a6400 using S-Log2 and HLG Profile. When I 1st watched, it all sounded a foreign language two days ago. After I have done intense research, I followed everything mentioned in the video. I finally got the result I am looking for from the camera monitor. I always appreciated people who go specific technical numbers and show us the results after applying these parameters. Thanks so much for taking the time explaining this topic so well. I think that anyone who is new to videography must watch and fully understand every single details in this video!

Then I don't have to wait through long explanations of things everyone already knows. When the information starts, I am not getting imaptient. If anything, I have to "rewind." There's no ego, fan boying, or conclusions based on nothing. You're my new favorite video channel.

So funny... So many people told us that they switched to HLG. I tried as well and got this noise issue. I asked sony but they couldn't help me. And now u just proved, that my camera is totally fine :D. I will stick with slog2 for most of my work because it provides the highest dynamic range (actually slog3 does, but as you mentioned the 8 bit codec isn't good enough for slog 3). I also experienced that grading slog2 is a bit more flexible than cine profiles. Another reason for me to stick with it. For the future I don't want more profiles... I just want sony to improve bitrates and codecs so I can use slog3 :).

@reginaldworthington75585 жыл бұрын
Great info here Mr Undone, as usual. Just a thought that I recalled from my film days of long ago, you don’t always get this done with the camera settings and something I’ve not seen in the thousands of hours of camera vids I’ve poured over more recently; if you are indoors and are dealing with a high dynamic range situation that you can’t avoid in the frame by repositioning, then a simple black net on the natural light source will do it. You set up a c-stand or use clamps if there is something handy to clip to and drop a black mesh over the outside of the window, effectively dropping your external daylight levels by however many stops as you want. If you only need a little then single mesh - if it’s really bright outside and you’re not lighting your subject inside then you double or triple it for more stops reduction in your background. This is a simp,e way to balance your shot without having to pull out a massive fixture and melt your talent down inside to balance exposure. You cannot see the black mesh unless you have doubled or tripled it and pull focus to the window and even then it’s pretty subtle. Great to know all the stuff you are discussing here to get the best performance out of the camera for sure, but sometimes there are a few simple tricks that can make your life a whole lot simpler and keep the amount of lighting gear you have to take off the truck to a minimum. Cheers.

Or are there too many differences to make a valid comparison? Cheers, from France, BTW.

Hey! Thanks, Tim. Log is comparable in the sense of how it deals with highlights and having that headroom. The main difference is the clipping point. V-Log is lower than S-Log. And it depend on V-Log vs V-Log L. They are under 100%. So just keep that in mind.

What I figured from this video (great video btw) is that I would like to do this: - Cine4 for indoor scenes (poor lighting) - HLG for either indoor with great lighting or outdoor at the end of golden hour when stuff starts to catch shade - Slog2 for mid-day to golden hour when the sky is really bright -> Also to make sure I record a clip of a color checker card after each switch to match in post. What do you guys think of this workflow? Of course we're talking Run and Gun -ish with limited time to prep.

Essentially, sharpening in your camera limits the control on where you want the sharpening to happen. In Premiere, there is a sharpening tool called "unsharp mask" that can be used to delineate where exactly you want sharpening to occur. The difference is simply how much control you have over the situation in all aspects of sharpening.
