![]() I tend to find Sony’s mids/skintones have a tendency to look cool or at times even purple, so one of my primary goals with this LUT was to eliminate that issue.īelow are three screen shots showcasing the different SLog 3 looks: From there, I brought down the mids a touch, made a slight contrast adjustment, and warmed up the midtones slightly. The new LUT that I created was based off of a hybrid of Sony’s SLog 3 LUT and the Arri Alexa LUT, the former of which works surprisingly well with SLog 3 footage. The goal of course is to save myself a lot of time in the editing room/color suite, and get each shot that much closer to the final look right off the bat. Since I will inevitably be shooting more and more with the A7S II as the months go on, I decided to create a new LUT to use in place of Sony’s standard SLog 3 LUT. With the A7S II on the other hand, I’ve never had perfect results while using Sony’s SLog 3 LUT on any clip that I’ve shot to date. On my Blackmagic URSA for instance, if I have exposed my shot properly I am able to drop on a LUT in Resolve or FCP X and the image will look fantastic right away. That’s not to say you can’t achieve beautiful color results with Sony’s cameras, but rather that you need to work a little harder to get there. But even though they are ahead of the curve in so many ways, their color science is still far behind companies like Blackmagic Design or Canon. Sony is leading the way in mirrorless innovation at the moment, and I respect what they are doing tremendously. While I’ve really been enjoying the A7S II, my biggest issue with it so far has been the same as my issue with all of Sony’s other cameras – the color science. This subreddit focuses more on photography.I’ve been shooting with my new Sony A7S II extensively over the last couple of weeks, and recently developed a LUT that I’ve been using with all of my SLog 3 footage. You can easily transform hlg to 709 if you want, or leave it in hlg to create an HDR image.Īnd as a final note, I think you'll find more information about video postprocessing by going to /r/colorists. It's almost as much dynamic range as slog2, but requires far less "bending" of the image in postproduction to get a pleasing result, and as such the 8-bit footage tends to hold up better. Of course, since that's all a big pain in the butt, I end up filming in hlg3 about 99% of the time. I found pretty good results by creating a picture profile with the slog2 gamma and the standard 709 color space, and then selecting the appropriate options within a color space transform node inside Resolve. With that said, the major issue with slog2 on an a7iii is that you're limited to 8-bit footage, which means that bending the color space from slog2 to rec709 puts a lot of pressure on the limited data you have. Anything else with respect to LUTs has created pretty unsatisfying results for me. This subreddit is mostly night mode compatibleįrom my personal experience, using either a color managed workflow process or the color space transforms within Davinci Resolve has been solid for dealing with slog2 footage. ![]() There are various places around the web you can use to host RAW files.
