Stills from Corporate/Industrial shoot with Sony FS-700

in

Here are a couple of still grabs from a corporate/industrial shoot I did recently with the Sony FS-700. Lens used was the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L II USM. I am really liking the sharpness and exposure in these shots. Its tough to get good exposure on the light skin/dark clothing combination with Canon DSLRs, and I thnk the FS-700 performed admirably.

While we did do a proper white balance for each shot, the skin tones aren't exactly where I'd like them to be. I used the default Picture Profile with the "Standard" Gamma. Time to do some more research into "Cine" Gammas and new Picture Profiles!

Postapalooza Wrap Up

I had a great time presenting After Effects lectures at Postapalooza 2012 this week.  For those of you who've never heard of it, Postapalooza is the Midwest's premiere post-production conference.  Its a great chance to get away and spend a few days focusing on the art and craft of video post-production.  I was truly honored to be a part of it and had a wonderful time.
