Thanks for watching!
The lighting in this video is so beautiful.
Thanks! I just used the Godox SL60W and a 36" softbox as my key light and I placed a cheap RGB bulb with a sheet of paper wrapped around it above me as a hair light. I can control the RGB bulb with an app on my phone and the paper is just meant to keep the light from spreading. Thanks for watching!
@@AppleboxCinema are you facing any noise issues with Godox SL60W?
Exactly why I just clicked the video lol
you know whats so amazing is that this topic I believe is so over looked and not talked about enough thanks for this! Because picture profile matters just as much as aperture iso white balance and shutter speed there’s not enough videos about this at all I literally just discover natural profile in my GH4 its looks!! Amazing!!!
Slog3 is not recommended for 8bit cameras as it uses just a fraction of the available data levels. Use slog2 instead which can use the full data levels to avoid banding. But even then banding can become visible which leads us to just use hlg. Gerald undone hat an amazing video about dynamic range differences between all profiles. Hlg3 is the best overall profile on 8bit cameras. On my fs5 i use slog2 in 10bit which is then even better...
Thanks for the detailed response! I avoid Slog3 as often as possible, I typically stick to Cine4 but you're right, whichever profile you use on an 8bit camera it's likely to be too much strain on the data and you'll get artifacts and banding. The bane of my existence. I actually recently got my hands on two BMPCC 4Ks and shoot BRAW and I'm loving it. Plan on posting some videos about it in 2020. Thanks for watching Chris!

Literally the best video on this topic I found. I mean I knew the basics and why I did not trust the guy that said "just use creative profiles so you don't need to edit that much" - but to hear it in that professional way gives me some kind of right direction to do further research. Thanks!
When you say it takes longer to grade in the flat profiles, couldn't one just put a LUT on it and be done? Theoretically.
Best explanation regarding this topic I have seen. Thank you.
I have watched tons of videos about picture profiles in youtube!
and im stopping with your video!
the only explaination that went into my head very smoothly and easily!
Thanksss a lotttt , Youre a Master!
Wow thank you! I'm so glad you liked the video! Thank you for watching!
I'd like to note that the color grading in this video (along with some of our other videos) can get a little wonky because of the Adobe/Mac color management issue, which you can watch here: bit.ly/PickupsAdobe -- we're in the process of learning DaVinci Resolve, so bear with us! What's your go-to picture profile? Leave a comment and let us know!
What a gem video. Fantastic. From 4 years ago this video is exactly what I needed. Easy to follow and understand while still providing everything I needed to know. I use Sony a6600. Thank you so much.
Thank you for breaking it alll the way down and not assuming we already know, when a lot of us newbies need the very very basics👍👍
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Julenn!
I know this comment is 2 years after the video was published but, thank you! the video was really helpful!
Thanks Drew! Glad it was helpful!
First time understanding what’s profile picture is!!
Great job 👌
Awesome, glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
one of the best videos on RUclips about this topic. thank you for getting straight to the point and not rambling about why you couldtn color grade because your mom took your xbox away
Lol thanks! I suck at video games so an Xbox wouldn't be able to keep me away from editing! Thanks for watching, glad you dig the video!
Well shoot. I don’t comment twice Ever on a video...that was just freaking awesome!!
Lol two comments = me being twice as grateful!
This video is really great. Actually explains why SLOG is good to use. Now I have a reason to watch cinetone vs SLOG videos lol
Thanks so much! Glad the video was helpful!
Very well said here - props
Thanks Sean!
really good video man! most people out there just dont give practical well-explaining information as you did
Thanks! Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
For A7III users I recommend HLG3 with BT.2020 color space or Cine2 with cinema color space, both with -7 sharpening.
Log brings to much noise on 8bit
Thanks for sharing, Nathan! To be honest, I switched to the BMPCC 4K many months ago and never got the chance to work with HLG3 or the BT.2020 color space, but a lot of people have been asking about that. Glad someone can help them out!
Well done sir. I really liked watching this. With my sony A7 in my hand I watched your video while changing the settings on my camera. Looking forward to color grade the shots. Thanks man.
Thank you! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
Great video. Thank you!
Underrated indeed! :) You got my subs man.. the simplest but informative way of explaining the Picture Profile. I've been looking for this kind of explanation since I'm new in creating videos in YT. Thanks man! keep creating this kind of videos.
Thanks! I'm glad this was helpful. Hope to be creating much more relevant content in 2020. Happy new year!
Man, I know the odds are slim, but your setup look SO PERFECT, could you give me a suggestion on how to improve my setup? I love all the colors and details of your video content. Big fan right here. Continue doing what you do, you are an inspiration!
Wow thanks so much! The best tips I can give are 1) depth behind the subject allows you to blur the background more. 2) Use a BIG soft light source. If your lights are small, shoot them through a bed sheet or shower curtain. That will give you soft, natural light. 3) Keep the microphone as close as you can without dipping into the frame to get cleaner audio. 4) Make sure the exposure is correct in-camera, and then color grade to preference. I make all my normal corrections (increasing saturation and contrast) and then I add a free Lutify.me LUT "Heulandite" at about 50% power. That's about it. Good luck!
@@AppleboxCinema that is awesome, I really appreciate it, I’ll make sure to to implement those tips. Love watching your channel grow!
@@AppleboxCinema Your setup is awesome! Please consider making a video tutorial for the setup!
Finally a cohesive explanation on picture profiles. Well done! You got my sub and smash the like button!
Awesome, thanks so much Davin! Thanks for watching!
Great Video! That helps a lot! Just one tip, If you're going to do a counter do it small and not noticeable in the corner as it gets people distracted.
Thanks for watching!
One of the best videos on this subject. So easy to understand! Thank you!
Thanks Jocelyn! Glad you found the video useful. Thanks for watching!
Proud to be 1.48xK subscrition on this channel. Greetings from Brazil dude.
Wow thank you so much!
Thank you brother for your help to me choose a right picture profile.
Thanks, Daniel! I'm glad the video helped out. Thanks for watching!
You, my friend, earned a much deserved sub for the quality of the content on your channel. :)
Thank you so much! Hoping to make some more quality content in 2020! Thanks for watching.
Hey I LOVED THIS YOU EXPLAINED IT SO WELL! Thank you!
Thanks Garrett, glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Super helpful, explained very well, I loved the examples. Thank you!
Thanks Celeste! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
what is the two warm lights you used at the back?
Those are actually just IKEA lights that go on top of cabinets. Those cabinets are for my Blu-rays and DVDs, and I thought overhead lights would be a nice touch to see the collection. Happy accident.
Solid Video bro. I will never un see that!
Thanks Chris!
Thank you, the best!
Thanks Elena! So glad this was helpful!
This is exactly the video I’ve been looking for that helps explain pfp 🙏🏼
Awesome! Glad this was helpful, thanks for watching!
Underrated Channel!
Carson Wilder thank you SO much! That means a lot, I’m glad you like the channel!
So underrated channel 💔
Dude thanks so much! Thanks for watching!
Nice information and well produced video! Thanks!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Great video! Very well explained! I just moved over to Cine 4 but recently bumped up the contrast and I love it!
Great to hear! Yeah Cine4 is really versatile and while there are benefits to shooting in Log, it's not necessary for EVERYTHING. Thanks for watching!
@@AppleboxCinema Anytime! I would love your feedback on my latest video and any tips and tricks you have. I think i got the colors down but i am far from a pro. I also have new lights coming in the mail today that i will be swapping out. They should offer much deeper colors.
you deserve more subs! this video was amazing
Thank you! I'm glad you dug the video, hopefully the subs will come when I start posting more regularly! Thanks for watching
@@AppleboxCinema Commented that on my old RUclips account, this is my new one. But you should definitely post more often if you have the time! This channel has a ton of potential to blow up!
seriously, im just surprise you only got 447 subs, you surely will grow dude. anyway very nice explain.
Thank you! My channel will probably grow if I posted more often! More videos coming soon, thank you for watching!
Do it more frequently. Good Job!
Why do you change the camera settings when shooting in s-log? Wouldn't it be a more fair comparison if the camera settings were the same?
It's been a while since I made this video so I don't really remember, but I know that some of the camera settings change depending on the profile you're using. For example, if my memory is correct, Slog doesn't let you shoot below ISO 1600, so I had to make adjustments to the f-stop and ND to get a similar exposure.
Great video, thanks for the information :)
Thanks for watching!
Thank you & amazing quality for a channel that is that small
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
I quite enjoyed this. And your grade on your own is really well done sir, you've got some beautiful colour contrast going on with the lighting and grade.
Thanks! I really appreciate it. I get everything corrected and then use the Lutify.me "Heulandite" LUT at around 35% to punch up the colors a bit. I'm glad you like the video, thanks for watching!
Maybe you can help me. Like they say always ask the expert. I
have an A6600. I purchased some coloured lights for the background and
I use one key light for now. I notice a strange thing happened during
filming the video. I notice after when I am editing and I see the video. I
see that the video started out as a somewhat dark video image ( which I
like) - like most vlogs. Then it starts to brighten itself as the clip
goes on. The camera seems to some how change something in adjustment
during filming.Im not sure if I have to turn some setting off or adjust
other settings?
I'm not familiar with the A6600 but maybe the camera was set to Auto Exposure and that's why it was changing by itself. You'll want to make sure it's set to manual control so you choose all of the settings yourself.
Nice and educational videos. I have recently taken some shots in Slog 2 by my Sony A7ii and found the shadows horribly grainy and noisy. I came here with a hope that probably you have some solution to this. Waiting for your reply.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked the video! Unfortunately I've also found that videos shot in Slog can have really noisy shadows. That's why I tend to shoot in Cine4 instead. There are a few things you can do to remove noise. After Effects has a built-in "remove grain" plugin and it works pretty well but it takes a while to render. There's a fantastic paid plugin called NeatVideo that works wonders in After Effects and Premiere, and it's only $75. You can also lean into the grain and cover it up by adding more grain. Downloading a free 4K film grain overlay and then setting the blend mode to Multiply or Overlay and adjusting the opacity can help cover up the bad grain with good grain. Hope that helps a little.
Awesome video bro, new sub!
Thanks for the sub!
Big fan of the channel! Do you adjust any of the settings when using the cine4 profile? Which gamut do you prefer? Thanks again for the video content!
Thanks Ryan! For these tests I reset all of the picture profiles to default, but typically we go with the S-Gamut or S-Gamut3.cine because they have a pretty wide range of colors and don't have much of a weird color shift, so we don't have to do TOO much tweaking to things like skin tones. Sony doesn't have the greatest color science so we always have to do *some* tweaking to get somewhat natural colors.
Very informative and helpful video! After watching each, would probably stick to Cine4 on my a6400 while not using Atomos recorder...thanks again man!
Thanks! Glad you like the video! Yeah I think Cine4 does a great job. It's not too noisy and it still has pretty great dynamic range. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making an easy to understand video for us (beginners). Hoping to watch your video on color correction/grading using Davinci Resolve soon. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad the video helped clarify some things for you! I am working on new videos and hope to post some tips for grading in Resolve soon! Thanks again!
When you talk about the profiles are you talking about the ones built into the camera? In the examples you were just using 1 through 10 without adjusting anything?
Hey, great question! I honestly don't remember because I made this video almost a year ago and I haven't used the a7S in many, many months. If I remember correctly, some of the profiles between 1 and 10 have their gamut set to things like "Natural, Cine4, Slog-3, etc." and I was choosing those. There are other settings within the profiles (contrast, saturation, etc.) but I didn't change anything. Sorry, I hope that's somewhat helpful. Thanks for watching!
Great video, subbed
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for explaining in such a clear and compact way, awesome!!! What picture profile do you use for low-light?
Thank you so much! Glad the video was helpful. For us, filming in low light depends on the goal. Do we need to brighten everything up so it's clear and visible? In that case I might use Slog-2 or Slog-3 to keep as much dynamic range as possible. But if the shadows are meant to be dark, I stick with Cine4 because I don't need to retain that detail and that way I can keep the image a bit cleaner.
This is great content! Thanks for sharing this vid 👌🏼
Thanks Philip! Glad you liked the video!
Great content. Keep it up!
thank you so much, super helpful video ! :)
Thanks, I'm glad the video was helpful for you! Thanks for watching!
“You will never unsee this” then I said “I am going to unsee this” then I still can’t unsee it
Lol after I uploaded the video I thought, "maybe it's not that bad" but as soon as I saw it on RUclips it drove me nuts! Freaking compression artifacts kill me!
Very informative video. Thank u!
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful!
I haven't seen a video anywhere on RUclips that's totally for dummies (like I am lol), I'm totally blank about what s log 2 3 4 is, PP1 PP2 PP3 is etc.. Could you make it?
Lol I'm kind of a dummy too though, so no worries. Honestly since I made this video I switched to the Blackmagic and shoot RAW. I don't have the Sony anymore so I might not be able to help anymore. Sorry!
What is a good picture profile for the A6400 if I'm filming a driving scene with a camera mount on as car ? And can I use the same setting for the interior and exterior setting ? Also, I'm using the A6400 Kit lens :(
For a driving scene you'll probably want to use a more neutral or flat profile because the car might be going in and out of shadows which will change the exposure. The flatter profiles will give you more dynamic range in case the car goes into bright sunlight or darker shaded areas.
Wow, just realised how underated you are!!
Thank you! I might be biased, but I agree! ;)
Holllly crap. Best explanation on topic. Period.
Thank you! I'm glad the video was helpful!
Hi, I record videos in my Nokia 7 Plus mobile. I use Davinci Resolve 17 for Colour Grading. So please advise me Colour Management settings in Davinci Resolve software.
Oh wow I wish I could help, but I've never used a Nokia 7 mobile phone for filming. I'm not sure the best settings for that phone, or what settings would be needed to manage your color in Resolve. I've only ever used dedicated film/video cameras that have a lot of setting controls. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
@@AppleboxCinema Not a problem.
Thanks for your support, have a great year ahead 💐
Nice subscribed! thanks for the good clear explanation! :)
Thanks Ken! New content coming soon, thank you for watching and for the sub!
Great information for me. Can u pl share me the sony a7iii camera setting for Cine 4 picture profile?
Honestly since I made this video I switched to the Blackmagic and shoot RAW. I don't have the Sony anymore so I might not be able to help anymore. Sorry! Check out other channels like Gerald Undone, his videos are great and have a TON of helpful information!
@@AppleboxCinema Thanks for ur honest reply👍
Omg, I need some help with HLG... I can not edit this... Overexposure video everytime in FCPX 😭
I wish I could help with this, unfortunately I haven't used HLG much. If you're worried about overexposure, I try to keep my image as bright as I can without blowing out the highlights, and profiles like Cine4 should give you the ability to brighten any areas that are too dark.
Awesome video dude! I would love some videos about noisy images! I am SO BAD at getting things right in camera enough to make sure there is no noise. I shoot on an A7III so don't really have a huge excuse besides lack of knowledge!
Thanks Edward! I'm awful at getting things right in-camera. I've got friends like the awesome Dan Ludeman (Ludeman Productions on RUclips) who absolutely nails exposure in camera, because he exposes to the right. That helps avoid noise. But I always worry about over-exposing, so I stay right in the middle but it definitely produces more noise. Keep practicing though. The more I use the a7SII, the better I get!
Damn Beautiful lighting
Nice video 👍🏼
thanks for all the information!, question: which software do you use for postprossesing your Slog or Cine4 video?
Thanks! I don't use Sony cameras anymore, but I do all of my post processing in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Resolve is free and it's a great tool for editing and color grading. But I've been using Premiere for more than 20 years so that's always my go-to editing software.
@@AppleboxCinema Thanks again!
Very good
Thanks Michael, glad you like the video! Thanks for watching!
Can I ask if I can use the same lut for slog2 to any of the picture profiles? I bought some luts but they are all for slog2
Great question. A good LUT will have two options to choose from. One for Log footage, and another for Rec709 footage. I'll often color by eye to get my flat footage pretty close to Rec709 and then apply the Rec709 version of a LUT and adjust the strength to taste. So the short answer is that a LUT meant for Log footage probably won't work exactly the same way with another profile.
hi! dumb question right here, i was using HLG picture profile and it gave me more details that i needed in adjusting my focus points in photos then when i uploaded it in the lightroom, the photo is not the same as the photo from the one i took. it became more contrast and highlights are blown, how do i resolve this and what is the best PP for portrait photography?
Hey, not a dumb question at all. To be totally honest, I have no idea how to answer that question lol. I upgraded from the a7S II to the BMPCC 4K last year and sold my Sony, so I actually never got a chance to shoot with the HLG profile. And I also never used the Sony as a stills camera, so I'm completely useless here. I occasionally shoot stills on my Canon T7i which is a fairly decent entry-level camera, and I just shoot RAW using the Standard profile and Lightroom usually gives me enough latitude to adjust my exposure as needed. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
Why the pictures with picture profile SLOG3 had the ISO pumped up to 1600? Was this done by you or is it the set up of the picture profile that does it automatically?
One of the limitations with SLOG3 is that the ISO doesn't go below 1600. That's built-into the camera unfortunately. One option would be to use an ND filter on your lens so that you can bring the exposure down without having to close your aperture too small.
Awesome video, what LUT do you use to make the same coloring that you had in this video? and what is your camera lens here?
Thank you! I get everything corrected and then use the Lutify.me "Heulandite" LUT at around 35% to punch up the colors a bit. The camera is the a7SII and the lens is the Rokinon Cine 50mm t1/5.
How to setting picture profile a6500 plese
I haven't had a chance to use the a6500 yet but I have to imagine the settings are fairly similar since they're both Sony cameras.
Great video! Thanks! What's that counter on the left side?
Thanks! I was counting how many times I said "picture profile." I didn't notice while I was recording but during editing I noticed it big time!
Applebox Cinema Co.
Ah I see. Keep up the good work!
HELLO. great video man. this helped me a lot. quick question. i am new in the video production . i want to mainly shoot dance videos and music videos. what picture profile would you recommend?. I also have the HLG gamma in the camera. which one would you prefer?
Hey thanks for watching! I don't think one profile is necessarily better than the other, they just have different uses. So if you're shooting a dance / music video under controlled lighting and don't need to do much color grading, a standard profile like Movie or Natural might be perfect. But if you're in low-light or out shooting on a ridiculously bright and sunny day, you might want to try Cine4 or Slog to preserve details in your highlights and shadows, just be aware that you'll need to spend a bit more time color grading. I never got a chance to try HLG so I can't make any recommendations about that.
Happy I found your channel 😁
I'm glad you found it too! Thanks for watching, more fun stuff coming soon!
Hey, great info about picture profiles. We’ve been growing our channel and we’re always looking for solid tips as to how to make our stuff look more cinematic. We shoot on Sony systems exclusively. New subscriber here!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you liked the video!
how come you don't have 300K subs now? Love the tutorial!!
Lol thanks! I'd love to have that many subs! But I think that means I'd actually have to post content regularly and I've been slacking lately. BUT I've got more videos coming soon, so stay tuned!
AYYYYYY!! GOOD LOOKS!
Jonathan Smathers I gotchu fam. Let me know if you still have any questions!
Great video man. Can you make a video on grading those flat profiles. I'm really struggling in post production. Getting the details back from slog is tiresome to me.
I agree! For a while I was starting off by bumping contrast and saturation but then I found some free LUTs that go from S-log or C-log (or whatever camera you're using) to Rec 709 and starting with that. It gets pretty close and if it's too strong I will just dial back the intensity.
@@AppleboxCinema this will help
Would love to see this made using a Nikon Z 6ii and NLog or HLG
Hello, which camera and setting did you shoot your A rolls? Thank you so much
I filmed everything here with the Sony a7SII and the Cine4 picture profile. Thanks for watching!
What picture profile would you recommend for a basic talking head type of video, that would be indoors?
I tend to use Cine4 for everything unless I REALLY need the extra dynamic range from the Log formats. Cine4 provides a great amount of dynamic range but doesn't need an extensive amount of color grading.
Which PP number did you use for this video?
I think I used PP7 which I modified to Cine4 instead of Slog-2 or Slog-3. I pretty much always used Cine4 unless I desperately needed more dynamic range because I couldn't control the lighting conditions.
I just subscribed, I hope you pass the 1000 subscribers soon. One suggestion will be to the same video but in a low light environment. Thanks!
Thanks Freddy! I can't believe I'm going to pass 1000 soon, I haven't uploaded in months! I have plans for new videos coming soon, just gotta find the time to record them. Great idea for a video, I'll add that to my list! Thanks for the sub!
Great Video, kindly which profile picture you used in this video with his setting plz. new Suscriber
I just purchased a use Sony a 6300 For my wife new beauty RUclips channel!
recording in movie profile PP1 be adequate for RUclips videos in your opinion?
I haven't used the Sony a6300 but I know it's a very popular camera for RUclips videos so I think you'll be just fine. If you feel like you need more flexibility in your color correcting / color grading process, try to set the PP1 gamma to "Neutral" or "Cine4" which will record a flatter image. But if you don't need to worry about detailed color grading, the default PP1 settings should be great. Thanks for watching!
Applebox Cinema Co. thank you!
Which profile do I use if i dont wanna color grade or just a quick "auto color enhancement"
For that you'll probably want something like "Movie" or "Natural" and those are usually PP1 and PP3 by default under the picture profile menu.
@@AppleboxCinema thanks!
Helpful video! Question: what are your thoughts on Cine2 vs Cine4? And also I didn't see Slog2 mentioned, is there a particular reason why you choose Cine4 over the rest? I've been shooting in Cine4 myself for the last 2 years, but I'm curious about trying out some other ones (specifically Cine2---looks flatter to me than Cine4).
It's been a while since I made this video (since then I've switched to the Blackmagic and shoot RAW) but I seem to remember Cine4 being flat *enough* and not needing a TON of correction. And since it's an 8-bit camera, color grading didn't create a lot of other issues. But you're right, I think Cine2 might have been more flat.
What's lut you used to grade this video?
I correct the image with the Lumetri color panel in Premiere, and then I add the Lutify.me free LUT "Heulandite" and set it to about 35-45% so it's not too strong.
you didn't mention HLG3 profile... what about it?
Thanks for this content. Can you share your Cine4 setting please?
Thanks! Glad you liked the video. Unfortunately I made this video over a year ago and have since sold the a7SII for two BMPCC 4Ks, so I don't remember all of the Cine4 settings. But to be honest, I basically set the Gamma to Cine4 and lowered the saturation to -4 or -5, and that's about it. I didn't change much else. I may have lowered sharpness too. Thanks again for watching!
Hi and thank you so much. I love the color grading of this video. I have an a7s MkI with Sony 28mm f2 prime lens. I've read that you are using Cine4. Can u provide more info about the other settings such as Black level, Black gamma, color mode, saturation etc ? Do you have luts available ? What about the lights u r using ? Many thanks again !
Thanks Kurt! Glad you liked the video. Unfortunately I can barely remember what settings I used for this video because I made it almost a full year ago, and I've been using the BMPCC 4K for the past 10 months. I don't personally make LUTs but the LUTs I use for my videos are in the free Lutify.me pack. I made a video called Color Grading 101 where I include a link to download them. And for this video I was using the Godox SL60W as my key light, no fill light, and I had an RGB light bulb I got at Target for $15 as a hair light. Hope that helps!
Hey Curt! You found out something more about nice settings for Cine4 ?
Would be very thankfull if you have some nice tips!
does this only affect video and not photo?
You can choose different profiles for photos as well, but if you shoot your photos in RAW, you've got much more room to play with exposure afterwards. Video files are much lower resolution than photos, so you don't have the same kind of flexibility.
Hello, firstly great video and content.
I just brought a new sony a6400, earlier I was using my old Canon 600D for indoor youtube videos. I have few questions: is Sony a6400 is good camera purchase?? because however, I shoot, my videos look washed out with loads of noise and graininess in them.
I use 2 led light panels but still, videos are noisy and don't look how it should be in real. ISO is always 800 unable to change it. are sony cameras like this?? OR Am I shooting it wrong? I see many other videos on RUclips which look stunning
Thanks for the comment, great question. I've never used the Sony a6400 before but I have to imagine you can change those settings somehow. Think Media has some great a6400 tutorials on their RUclips channel. From what I've seen, it's a great camera. It will probably just take some practice before you're more comfortable with adjusting the settings. I'm still learning the best way to use my cameras!
Applebox Cinema Co. Ohh ok.. Thanks a lot for the reply
Will check it out
Very informative, Makes me want to go and mess around with my custom Cine4 Profiles and try and make a Custom Slog3 Profile, I think you could’ve said profile a few more times gotta try and bump that number a bit lol, I do have one question completely off topic ,I love the denim jacket in your videos what brand is it or where did you get it?
Lol I probably said Profile 10-20 more times I just cut it out. And I actually got the jacket from Target for like $30. I wear it just about every day, I need to expand my wardrobe a bit.
Applebox Cinema Co. Only if you feel you need to a great denim jacket can truly make a wardrobe hence why I asked, thank you for the reply as well and keep up the great work I love your channel and the quality videos you put out
What equipment & pp was used for this video of you speaking?
Hey there, so I used the a7SII to film everything in this video and I'm using the Cine4 PP because my lighting conditions are pretty good and consistent. I didn't need the extra dynamic range of a Log profile. Thanks for watching!
