Thanks for the very informative video! I’m still learning and was hoping you could answer a couple of questions about your video. I was wondering why you choose to shoot in DCI and what the benefit is for you vs 3840x2160? Also, I noticed you are doing things by eye rather than using any scopes. Do you have an IRE value that you expose your skin and highlights to in your videos?
Hey Bob, great questions! So first I shoot in 4K DCI 4096x2160 simply as a personal preference. I like having that extra resolution in case I want to pop in, plus I visually like the aspect ratio. One thing to note though is that I export for RUclips in 3840x2160 UHD. As far as doing things by eye, I can see how it seems that way but I actually do use scopes haha. I just don't really like talking about them in videos because beginners tend to obsess over them and once they hear one set of values they take that as the word of God and don't deviate from that. But, to answer your question, for exposure when I'm shooting, I use the false color feature on my monitor and tend to expose for skin tones at around 60-70 depending on the look I want. For highlights I simply don't clip them when shooting, which is below 90-100. For grading however it's a totally different story and is 99% dependent on the story and the look of the film. Is it a comedy, music video, moody feature film? Some have bright highlights, some have very dark highlights, skin tones etc. Hope this helps!
Well, when shooting, I actually use the one built into my Osee on camera monitor. But my grading monitor is a Flanders scientific. (But I use the scopes on that one.) all the false color scopes are a little different but they’re all practically the same. I’d say they’re all great to work with. Also, most on-camera monitors have them built-in too.

@@FredTrevinoColor Thank you! Do you have a False Color color guide preference… Arri, Flanders, SmallHD, etc?
