Hey everyone,

Here are a few frames from a test shoot with new Pyxis 6K.
Link:

There is a mix of harsh light as well as overcast scenes, and I filmed faces, landscapes but also close ups/textures.

This was still a test shoot so I also filmed in a way that I sometimes wouldn’t (ie pointing directly at the sun, or shooting wide open a lot)

Most of the footage is shot handheld, with a couple of tripod shots.
Filmed in Open Gate, 12:1, at 23.98.

(All the gear used is linked in the video description)

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions


Cheers,
Flo

Looks great. Camera really does make me think that it is an URSA Micro.

What I keep noticing in almost all BMCC 6K and now Pyxis footage is the rather harsh transition in skin hues from yellowish / neutral to reddish.

Is there any chance that the colour is shifted a little by using Film Convert?

I don’t have experience with any of those 3rd party LUTs as I always grade primarily adjusting the primaries (three wheels for Rec.709 and sRGB SDR and six wheels for HDR ST2084). I do the HDR deliverable grade first for 1000 nits and then SDR deliverables around 100 nits for diffuse white.

Yes, totally! Filmconvert is a big part of my workflow .
