when I open up a file in photoshop, I see the WB you set, but I also see that you set up a "tint" value too.
Does the camera allows setting up tint - as the Alexa - before recording?


No I think that might be a default. You can't set tint in the camera.

Hi,

To answer Jesuan who asked about the rolling shutter and if any post processing has been done on the images. These clips are direct from the camera with no post production or any modification at all. Because they are RAW, then your getting everything direct from the sensor without any processing.

The only thing your seeing if your working on them in Resolve is the header of the files has the white balance info etc so Resolve will setup the look and do the de bayer and color processing for DNG.

But otherwise these files are direct from the camera sensor.

Totally awesome. It's clean and perfect and very filmic...dying to get mine..
One question. Did you fix rolling shutter in post or is it as it comes out of the camera?? on that steadicam shot looks quite good, I thought it was going to be worse.

Cheers!! BMD FTW!!


There's no fix at all.

This is exactly what was shot, just with a simple grade applied.

The rolling shutter is there if you want to go looking for it, but it rarely gets in the way of getting great images.

Five am in London. Coffee on. Boot up various and sundry Macs. Check ebay, check email, run google search on BMCC. Open Resolve. Get to work. Drink coffee. Drink more coffee. Suffer from pizza hangover. Check email....and abandon all work for the rest of the day.

Thank you Grant Petty, the whole Blackmagic team, and John Brawley.
