Looks great Greg!

Very impressive!!! Beautiful photography and color grading.
Congratulations.

this looks amazing! would love to see some clips!

Looks awesome. I love the grading in the night shots...

I'm thinking about getting the 8-15 Canon lens. Can you give some insights, were you happy with it? Any infinity focus issues like Tokina or Canon 10-22 ?

Thanks !

I'm very interested in your desert shoot. Can you tell more about the LED lantern you used? What was the lumen of it? What temperature did you shoot the white balance?

I'm headed out to he Mojave to shoot a project at night sometime by the end of May and I'm trying to figure out how little light I can use. If you don't mind, I may PM you.

Thanks,
Byron

I couldn't help but notice the significant amount of noise in some of your stills, even in the Desert shots there is a fair amount of noise even tho the image seems to be filmed in broad daylight. Is this a Jpg/Net compression issue or does the BMC really suffer from random noise this bad? I am a bit concerned with the amount of noise even with a high amount of exposure.

With a 800 ISO ASA will I actually be able to reduce the sensor noise by dropping the ISO to say 200?? (Much like a common Canon DSLR)


NOT TRYING TO BASH! Just rather curious if maybe your post process is different than some?

You have some very promising images posted here. They remind me of a mix between Casino & Mad Max.

Amazing Pictures, thanks man!

You, sir, know your colours!
