theC47: learn... camera » lighting » audio » post » tech

So far, the C300 is doing a very good job of impressing us. Even without doing much to the CP Cinema Locked mode, stuff looks great and you can really reach into those shadows and highlights. I don't see myself shooting with much else on this camera.

More feedback to come when I get to shoot more with it later this week (not sure when yet).

So...

VERY interesting camera. I wouldn't choose to shoot at 20,000 ISO, but there is A LOT of info in that image. We brought the highlights all the way up and we could see detail!

Lighting changes are the CNN billboard (5 blocks away), not any issues with the camera, but when we tried to transcode to ProRes using Log & Transfer, there were some wierd artifacts happening. I've seen it before with other footage so it's not specific to the data off of the cards. No issues editing natively (rewrapped in log and transfer), and then outputting to ProRes.

When Matt and I switch back, you'll see the exposure change. I brought the highlights up about 50% and the blacks down about 4%, just so you could see info the the highlights. While it's not as flat as S-Log, there loads of data in there, just don't forget that what you're looking at is compressed to all hell a couple of times.

Tomorrow we'll shoot interviews with the camera and I'll do an episode from the house so you can see what we've been doing down here.
