Camera Test Movie I presented by MasterPlan Productions. Filmed, edited, mixed and graded by me,Tomas Stacewicz. Published on 25 November 2016.
A Dogme 95 style experimental test film shot on CinemaDNG RAW with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and the Zenit-LOMO Meteor 5-1 f/1.9 17-69 mm lens, using the RafCamera M42x1-MTF lens adapter. All shots were filmed handheld using a pistol grip and shoulder brace stock taken from the Zenit Krasnogorsk-3 camera kit, the exception being the timelapse shot which was shot using a tripod. Filmed on location in Kungsladugård and Slottsskogen, Göteborg, Sweden.
General camera settings: ISO 800, Shutter Angle 180º and 24 fps. Night shot camera settings: White Balance 3200K and f/1.9. Day shot camera settings: White Balance 6500K, f/1.9-7 and ND x4 filter. Timelapse camera settings: 10 seconds timelapse, White Balance 3000K (Color Temp raised to 3500K in post), Focal Lenght F=25, f/1.9-22 (continuously stepped down during timelapse; Exposure -3 and Highlights -100 in post) and ND x4 filter. General audio settings: All sound were recorded on the inboard stereo microphone of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, with microphone and channel (line) levels set to 50%.
Edited, graded, stabilized and rendered on Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 12.5.2. Colour correction was made manually using the Blackmagic Cinema Camera Film to Rec. 709 v2 LUT as a reference, raising Saturation to 100 and keeping Hue at level 50, adjusting the final grading with the aid of color wheels to create a balanced RGB profile. Vignetting was adjusted with a 16% maximum Zooming. Rendered to QuickTime containing the DNxHR SQ video compression codec and two cannel PCM audio codec. Enhancements was made on YouTube by raising Saturation +1 and Contrast 0; this level was chosen as a average to accomodate for computers and monitors that desaturates and flattens the original image quality, as well as not exaggerating saturation and contrast on well calibrated monitors.
