We had a fun time shooting this. It was a quick, all-night shoot, but fun nonetheless. Great cast and crew went the extra mile. It's too bad Vimeo compresses so much, but what can ya do. Cheers to BMD for making such a great camera. Really have been enjoying using it in different scenarios. More to come!
Enjoy!

Thanks for the nice comments! Very nice to see! Much appreciated.
Just to (hopefully) clear up some confusion or questions... our objective was to severely push and test this camera under severe conditions, rolling shutter and all, not just create a beauty video with a gloss grade. I opted to keep the camera mounted to the Porsche with its tight suspension, to really see what it would do. Honestly, the rolling shutter will always be there, but it's better than what I was expecting.
The image data we were able to pull from the camera is nuts. We have so much dynamic range to pull from, that had we shot on anything else (non RAW), the highlights would have been blown and the shadows crushed. And the detail of course is great too.
So in the end, I didn't want to do a gravy grade, but keep things neutral, with high contrast to reflect closer to what the camera did. My hope was that this would come across to show how much latitude was there, so it's a bit of a rolling of the dice on my end.
