I'm going to love this camera. I hope it ships soon! I can't wait to shoot with it! I can't believe how much I can push this footage. The noise is more a grain than a nasty digital noise too, which I love. Really impressed!

I thought I would do a quick grade in something I am familiar with before I plunged into Resolve, so I threw a frame into Lightroom and this is my first attempt.
I still can't belive that I am looking at a frame of video.... It really felt just like grading a RAW still from my DSLR!

Just doing some work in Adobe Photo Raw on the individual DNG files is pretty nice work. Just some simple adjustments.

Quick more Cinematic-Type of Grade from the harsh original. I thought the picture could never bear a strong grade in another direction. I was luckily wrong.
Corrected with CameraRaw (I need one of those CUDA-Cards)

Could you walk me through roughly what adjustments you made, apart from the desaturation? I love this look.

I made cold environment to emphasize an actor. Also I've added light vingette and a few HSV qualifiers to protect skin tones.

Midnight pool dip.
Love these files, coming from a photography background the fact these are moving raws with everything that goes with it blows me away. Very little in common with DSLR footage. The only problem is the amount of extra time I will have to add in the edit as I'll be having too much fun with every shot!

Sure, it's quite simple.
Actually, there are two ways of getting this look.
First one is raise the gain, lower the gamma, lower the lift, lower the saturation. Also I equalized this look with luma curve.
Second one is simplier: just place desaturated shot over existing with overlay blending mode.

Couple of quick grades using Resolve. Really incredible what you can do with these images.

footage handles so well when grading, love the fact that you can dial the highlights down and generally that you can treat this as a raw picture.
It does have some noise at ISO 800 (good looking though) but in the raw converter you're able to reduce it quite well without loosing detail.

I think is a pretty convincing Day for Night look.

could push it.)

Paul, beautiful grade (as are so many of the quick grades posted). Thanks.
Will be interesting when people are doing some comparisons of what they like starting from RAW and starting from ProRes showing the same subject. I imagine colourists are going to love to paint with the output from the BMCC.

Paul Del Vecchio's grade is a world of colour you want to walk through. Your grade is an unforgiving world yielding one sanctuary you want to stand within. Excellent.

I quickly (as in one click per picture) ran these through Lightroom using VSCO Film presets. Although they are calibrated for a specific Canon Camera, they are still very impressive. VSCO Film is set out to emulate classic Photography film stocks for digital cameras by manipulating the color data from the RAW before it gets processed.
Needless to say, if I get the BMCC I'll be processing all my footage with VSCO Film before I edit to greatly reduce my grading time.
I could spend time tweaking the presets of course, but I wanted to see what it would give me stock.

That's not bad at all! It's pretty cool that BMD used an open standard so we can process the images in a number of different apps.
I was thinking though. These presets look great, but we might have to remove the grain and apply a grain intended for motion later in the workflow. I'm not sure, but wouldn't a Lightroom grain setting give you a static grain profile since it's intended for still photos?
