Hi guys, wondering if you can help me. I'm really new to video production but due to getting some funding for a project I bought a BMPCC which I'll be doing a load of filming on - interviews and such mainly. I have probably bitten off more than I can chew, but what the hell, right?
I did my first 2 camera shoot yesterday, and I noticed a weird thing with the BMPCC footage I can't seem to fix with my limited knowledge of Resolve. Below is a video comparing shots
- first is a Lumix G6/Lumix PZ 14-42 on full auto
-no processing has been applied
- second is the BMPCC/speedbooster/canon EF-S 17-55 plus a Tiffen T1 IR Filter, ISO 800 f/1.7
-turned up the saturation by 150 just so you can see the colours
For some reason I'm getting a very dark result when uploading to vimeo (fine on youtube) - that's not the issue at hand though, just mentioning it so you know I'm aware - the oriiginal footage exposure in fine in FCPX.
As you can see the G6 footage shows a bright gold buddha - the look is a bit over the top but the colours are broadly accurate. The BMPCC footage shows the buddha as a much more bronze colour. I can't correct it in resolve, though I'm sure it's possible for a pro, but my question is what is happening here? Am I missing something? I mean the colours should roughly match even if a bit of grading is required (I'm aware there is a bit of a green cast from the filter, I can correct for this fine - just thought I'd leave the footage clean for the purposes of seeking advice).
Sorry for asking what is probably a stupid question, but I really need to know if I'm doing something that will spoil all my footage before I embark on tons more shooting over the next couple of months and I figure you guys might be able to help.
All the best
