My life was improved immensely when I started using cameras with built-in ND filters. So good!!!
I can't tell you how helpful your C70 videos have been for myself and my team that just picked up 3 of these after switching from C200s. Thanks so much for all the work you've done to share all of this gold!
I love how this fairly involved video ends with "yeah just look at the lcd and you'll be fine"
good to know I've been doing it right all along 😎
Could not have asked for a better timing of this video! I'm just about to shoot my first studio shot with my new C70 (which I purchased after watching ALL your C70 video btw!). So huge thanks to you and please do create more C70 tutorials and how to improve overall production quality! Thank you very much!
Anyone that shares C70 tricks... I'm an automatic BIG FAN. I learned a few things from you. A true service. Thanks bud.
literally just watching your videos instead of reading the C70 manual. You rock. If ever you want music for your channel, get at me!
I've been using zebras my whole career. Its the best way to set your exposure for run n' gun filming. You eventually learn that other useful things are in he same luminance range like concrete, and light colored tree bark. Once you get good at judging your exposure with zebras, you're usually spot on.
I was just looking up videos about clog Wow. This is perfect timing.
Thank you! Your C70 videos have been most helpful.
Just got my C70 last week. Your videos have been very helpful especially this one! Keep up the great content very helpful. Btw I live in the Boston area myself. But thanks again keep up the great work!
Your videos are excellent, man, and so helpful. Thank you so much!
Very helpful! Getting my C70 tomorrow and I've never shot in Clog2 before, so this helps a lot!
Very, very helpful. I learned so much from this video. Thank you
Really helpful! Going to be using this method now. Thank you!
Bravo! I love your tutorials, always super helpful and thank you for posting these, especially for newbies like me!
Glad it was helpful!
This and the guide @Griffin Conway did are super practical explanations! Thanks man!
This was like the best video ever. Thank you
My C70 arriving tomorrow and I watched all your videos already :D thank you!
I love your videos dude. Super helpful and fun to watch!
Thanks Edward!
Seriously helpful. Thanks so much.
Amazing. Using all your tips. Thanx man!
Awesome tutorial, thanks 🙏🏼
Again, thank you for another super helpful video on the C70. I’ve just bought the camera a day before i watched this tutorial.
Glad it helped!
Genius... like this, will try this one out.
I am thinking of getting a C70 having been using C500 mk 2. One man band producing fast turn around documentary and corporate (I follow a politician around) often in vertical it looks perfect. Will be a shame about the smaller sensor but think I will go RF for the weight. But after stumbling on some reviews with inaccuracies and some pretty cowboy approaches it’s amazing to have someone so professional and knowledgeable sharing their views on TH-cam. Thanks.
Great video thanks for all the tips. Personally I mix and match the building tools depending on what I’m shooting
many thanks for the info, very helpful!
Thank you!! i learnt a lot.
Grabbing my camera to set this up right now.
Thank you for this; super helpful tip using range of ire’s on zebras.
Excellent video.
Thx! Great tips.
Just found your channel! Love it! Been having some issues with getting the right exposure on skin with the C70 no problem any more! 👌👌
very helpful! Nice job
Always appreciate your camera tests! Appreciate that you did a real-time exposure process set-up on video it was very helpful. I never thought to use zebra's for exposing anything other than highlights!
Gotta love the internal tools!! I have one question because the spot tip it’s really amazing. How do you move the spot around? I want to move it that is always more on the subject’s face rather than perfect in the middle
Very helpful thank you sir!
This is great. Thanks man.
Love this!
Super useful info 🤙🏻
Although I don't have a C70 (I have an R5), this was VERY VERY useful for figuring out how to expose CLOG3. I hadn't touched Zebras either for the same reason. I am too used to false color on my Blackmagic.
This video is so relevant and to the point, till now not a single dislike is not given.
Trying not to waste anybodies time! Thanks for the comment!
@@SoundItOutFilms keep it up
Thanks that zebra technique is interesting, I always thought similarly that it was only really to see which highlights were blowing out. I've generally approached exposure as a highlight saving exercise with the C70 since the shadows are clean and you can end up with a pretty flexible image, but I'm going to put in a bit more effort and give your zebra technique a try!
I love your videos about the c70 ❤️! They’re super helpful, can you Make a video on how to clean the c70 sensor? Thanks!
Helpful video! Can you do a video or tel us how you’ve set up all your custom buttons, currently? Thanks!
Nice this is a very useful information thank you. I've being struggling trying to color grade CLOG2.
Check out my older video about Clog2 vs Clog3, i go into a DaVinci technique to easily convert it to rec709
@@SoundItOutFilms Why is it the canon LUT doesn't properly color my clog 2 footage so that it looks the way it did on the lcd screen? I need help with clog 2 I even bought the stalman LUT but my videos don't look like yours
Great video and tips! I’m gonna start using the zebra like that now with my C70. I’ve been doing everything else, but that zebra idea is 🎯
Right!
I'v been digging in TH-cam for videos that talk about exposing different kind of logs.
And this is by far the best practical explanation and implementation of exposing the log image !
Not only for Clog, the logic and method could be applied to all kind of gammas if the official 18% grey was known.
Thank you so much bro.
Now on I would never miss a single video on this channel.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
One question though : is there any need for overexposing the canon logs as we do with sony ones in order to defeat noise?
Depends on the camera... with the C70 no (shadows are super clean), C200 on the other hand, very noisy so it could help. Others fall somewhere in that spectrum.
Thank you :-)
great video man! but now i want to watch the section where you incrementally raised exposure to get the best ire for your skin haha
c-70 lcd is the truth once you get used to it.. I flip zebras on briefly to check exposure then back off most of the time to view the scene. tracking focus requires use of lcd anyway, so its required on c-70 to use lcd. luminance is color on lcd! thank you for the breakdown.
Love your videos. At 4:52 could you have also changed to Zebra 1 IRE say 85 percent to make sure sky isnt blown out, and then change zebra 1 back to 40 percent to match for skin tone, or is the false colour a better way to adjust for blown out lighting like this?
I didn't have trouble shooting with my 1dx mark ii. I have to work a lot harder with the C70. I noticed just a slight bit underexposed and I have to do a midtown gama boost to fix my skin tones.
This video is clutch...
I must admit. I have been using the c70 for about 5 months and I really like c-log 3. It seems to work better for me.
man when you brought up the brightness i got a question, how do you deal with exposure when you are editing , color grading.
hello to you, thank you for your tutorial, I also have a C70, I know how to add LUTs via the SD card slot B, but I am looking for how to change the preview LUT, firstly is it possible? because I've been looking for this for 1 week, I found everything about the LUTs to add but nothing about the monitor preview LUT, thanks in advance, have a nice day
I found this very repeatable with a lot of cameras that have a Log curve, in my Panasonic S1H also do the trick with Zebras 1+2, 1 set to 42 IRE or middle grey in V-Log, highlights in skintones max to 55 IRE and then just for ajusting the contrast ratio I use an exposimeter metering the middle grey and shadow region for set the desire ratio. This way to do can be more useful in a planned shot or film set, maybe for run and gun not at all, but is an alternative way to expose a shot
It was 2006, there were no DSLR or mirrorless cameras. We were using Sony PD-170 camcorders. There were not even DSLRs that date. Even HD was not a thing. The only thing we were using to expose was "zebra" and it was correct 95% of the time. When HD and DSLR cameras came everybody forgot about zebra. I tried to tell about zebra to my colleagues but they were not interested in. Now I see somebody exposes correctly with zebra after more than 15 years.
I have a simple method exposing Clog-2 (or any log) on the C70 using false color. Caucasian skin is assumed to be roughly 1-stop over middle grey. Pink/peach/orange whatever is 1-stop over middle grey. Put the highlights on skin near pink. Done. You will be in a very good ballpark. Has worked well so far.
You’re totally right. I was actually planning on talking about that in a video soon.
Does the false color build in the Rec709 LUT or no? If I’m trying to mimic ratios and applying false color to other films to see their ratios, don’t we need to apply the LUT to get an accurate simulation to the reference? Thank you for this video! All very helpful ☺️
I wonder how close this works with my c500mkii. I feel it should be the same cause I am getting the same looking results with clog2.
These are the droids I've been looking for.
Good information in a perfect pace and level of detail. I would recommend that you look into why the video does not show up under exposing with zebras search, I spent most of yesterday looking at videos on the subject and did not come across yours. Maybe adding it to the tittle or keywords. Saying so just in case it is of help. Fo whatever reason in my tests with clog3 on the r5 with zebras at 45 I get the skin underexposed, hence why I'm looking for videos on the matter.
This probably happens because Log2 got more latitude regarding dynamic range. When it comes to Clog3 I would suggest trying Zebras at 55 +-5 for caucasian skin. Give it a try!
I’m filming on the C70 wide DR & native 400 but i have no control over the light how do I go about getting best exposure
Why my sharpness LCD fonction is grey in my menu ? how to adjust that ?
Hi! Thanks for awesome content! Is the main "talking head" -shot filmed with C70? It looks bit soft for 4k, is it the camera or does it just lack sharpening?
To be honest I don’t completely remember but there’s a small chance I filmed in HD, but either way, the C70 IS SOFT compared to a lot of other cinema cameras, and I’ve started to sharpen a littttle bit on more recent videos.
@@SoundItOutFilms Thanks!
Is there a disadvantage to compensation for the 2-step NDs by adjusting the ISO in 1/3-stop increments instead of the f-stop? In my mind I would rather go up from 800 ISO 1/3 of a stop than to go down from, say, 2.8 1/3 of a stop (which may make my DOF too shallow).
I try to stay at 800 because it has the most dynamic range but you're totally right if your DOF is a problem ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
I've watch all your videos on the C70 and I've not heard you or any one else say they've had this problem. Do you ever get a Buffer Overflow Recording Has Stopped when shooting in S&F mode 120/23.976? I get this message after recording for about 10 seconds. Sometimes the camera locks up and I has to power it off then back on. I'm using Pro Grade 25GB V90 cards I've already replaced them thinking they were bad but the new cards are doing the same thing. Of all the TH-cam videos I've watched on this camera I've not seen one person talking about the camera doing this when recording in 120 slow motion. Oddly enough it was happening every time I was filming the trees in my backyard. When I moved away from the tree it worked but when I pointed the camera up in the tree at 24mm it would do it every time. This happens on both cards as well. Any suggestions or thoughts?
Check out my video called 10 lessons, I go into that a little.
Do you just use zebra for the skin tones or do you have a 2nd zebra setting?
Thanks!
Just the 1! I like false color for checking highlights
@@SoundItOutFilms That totally makes sense and you explain it so well :-)
I love you
Does it also work with clog3?
The general principles will translate but the specific IRE of middle grey is slightly different
Like that zebra trick.
You mentioned that IRE for skin is right below 40%, but you placed the zebras at 45%. Why didn't you place them at 40%?
Middle gray should be right below 40. And the zebras are set to plus or minus 45
What lense are you using ?
Pretty much always using Sigma primes 24 or 50
@@SoundItOutFilms would love to see how you expose Clog3, as soon as I color transform in DR, it just gets super saturated.
Try converting like this! th-cam.com/video/MOqR3HezDpY/w-d-xo.html
I also cover this method in myClog2 vs clog3 video
Raw was on the left side of the screen, colors were reachier.
Correct you are!
What are your zebra settings? You said you check the zebras, but didn't give your settings!
It’s around 4:20 in the vid
@@SoundItOutFilms Thank you! I was looking after the test and didn't think to look beforehand. Keep up the good work!
@@SoundItOutFilms Have you done proxy file size testing? I am wondering if I need the same cards (2 128GB UHS-II cards) or if I could use a UHS-I and smaller capacity card for the proxies.
