Hi James The colour looks amazing in these clips! I especially like the look of the scene where the people are in the orchard with the mountain in the background. Was this shot in South Africa? Is there any way I purchase that look as a lut?
1/4 too much, remember you're losing contrast and detail in the image that you can't recover. I'd stick to 1/8 and push it more in post. DaVinci hack - add noise reduction to soften image, then counter it with adding sharpness. Then add halation effect on top and grain if you want. Best part, it's all built into DaVinci no plugins needed.
I agree that it's the digital sharpening that's most likely to make video look like video, and that you want contrast. Film is high contrast, but because it's pigment based, it renders color differently. Saturation in film decreases with luminance. You can go into your Lum-Sat curve and pull down the saturation at high luminance. Take a frame with bright reds and yellows, and try pulling down the max lum node to make a linear gradient to start. See how that looks before getting fancy. For me, low contrast movies look like digital imitating 1970s photographs made with snapshot cameras.
To any Davinci Resolve users here, reducing the Midtone Detail on your clip to -25 prior to the Log conversion achieves a similar effect. It takes the digital edge off the image without actually sacrificing image detail
@@Jamesmatthews The good news for you specifically is that it does so without blooming the highlights as well, but you can do that separately by using the glow effect
Another fun way to get the filmic look without using any sort of filtration is to create an adjustment layer then use the HSL secondary corrector in Adobe to select just the highlights, then add a glow effect, then play around with the opacity layers and opacity strength. It works shockingly well. And the cool thing is, you can control the intensity of your softening filter in that same way. so rather than having to swap out more or less intense filters, you just adjust the opacity of the adjustment layer.
@@JS-rh6cs In Davinci you could do something similar without adding an adjustment layer. Just grade your footage normally and somewhere in the node tree add the glow effect and change the composite type to soft glow. Works like a charm.
Love these tips 👊 We just upgraded and started shooting S-log 3 so really appreciate this! We also use the 1/8 black pro mist and love it 🔥 Keep doing what you do and inspiring!
Replacing my fx3 with a 6k pro. That has been the best little tweak I’ve made to the Sony image to get a little more of that “filmic” look. In all seriousness, I used 1/8 black pro mist on all my Sony footage and they made a nice improvement. I still use them for most of my lenses. And before anyone flames me, I really enjoyed Sony cameras, I switched to the 6k pro for the false color, ease of exposure (I really dislike exposing slog3) and video/cinema specific controls, like shutter angle, one button frame rate changes and ND’s.
I've been getting more into film emulation within Davinci Resolve and I certainly agree, doing everything you can in camera to get towards the look is very important! My pro mist filter almost never leaves my lens nowadays.
Literally just got my black pro mist 1/4 delivered yesterday. Did some quick beauty shots on the fx6 I’m renting with the wife and baby as a test before the commercial I’m shooting today. Looked great!
Another banger mate. Great tips. Regarding the black pro mist strength it's dependent on the focal length, focus distance and aperture etc Cheeky cheat sheet for you 18mm or less - 1/2 25-35mm - 1/4 50mm or more - 1/8 I find myself reaching for Nisi's 1/8 in most of my stuff. Gives a good overall balance.
I wanna add something to this video, cause while diffusion filters certainly brings you closer to the look of film by lowering the contrast and blooming the highlights, they still aren't quite enough to get you that full-fledged cinematic feeling. Mainly due to how most of all the mirrorless consumer cameras handles the roll-off compared to something like the ARRI Alexa, that's actually build with incredible accuracy to specifically emulate the roll-off you would get from film back in the day. it is possible however to get VERY close to what the ARRI Alexa does, by applying the wizardry this guy has come up with. He owns an actual ARRI camera and has managed to program a LUT that emulates the characteristics with insane precision. You get the same roll-off that contains an in-build ceiling that prevents clipping, a 99% match in terms of colors and it just takes your footage to a whole new level. You can even slap it on an Atomos and use it while exposing - and it will still give you that soft ARRI roll-off and their colors on the fly. There's even comparisons on his website between the Alexa and cameras like Sony, Fuji, Panasonic etc. with the LUT applied. So you can see for yourself how closely they match up 😉 I'll leave a link to his website here, if I've peaked your interest. I'm not affiliated in any way with his company or the product, but I'll personally vouch for what you get with it. After having tried and tested it for a while now, I simply trust no one else when they try to sell me their ARRI LUT's, cause they're usually just shit and all they've done is tinting the image to the green side 😅 www.emotivecolor.com/
Great video! I hated the very sterile digital look of sony A7 camera's in the beginning aswell its allmost too realistic. A little analog edit gives it so much more character for me
Hi James, I like your videos and especially your style very much, but I don't agree to this one at all. About 25 years ago I used the tiffen black pro mist filters a lot to give video which just had 5-7 stops of dynamic range a little bit more cinematic look by reducing contrast. Today we are lucky to have 15 stops of dynamic range and a soft highlight roll-off and on top sharp and clean images even with full frame sensors and fast lenses with F1.8 or even f1.2 with wonderful Bokeh. Why should we ruin this great look by reducing this outstanding quality? Having a lot of soft "cinematic" background and foreground I think you need clear and razorsharp main subjects! If you want a more cinematic overall look, I would recommend the Phantom LUTs for example which give you a look of film stock from Kodac or Fuji.
boshhhh!! make a video on how you expose s-log3 in a typical daylight (backlit , front lit , hard sunlight etc.) shoot. cause if you over expose s-log3 with promist filters you end up having glowing faces all over the shot. skies in your shot always looks so pleasing
Since you don't like Blooming, you should take a look at Glimmerglass series from Tiffen, it can soften the edges but take highlights gently. It is actually a more recent form of filtration than Mist. Nice video Mate.
a good filmic look is darker than you think it is. if you check your scopes, nothing that isn't a practical light source should be over 70 to 80 ish. if it still feels too dark, then take your curves and pull up the middle up a bit. but bring your highlights down so that it doesn't push past that 80ish range because that's a digital characteristic.
I really like to turn down the sharpness (in premiere: in the Lumetri under creative). A value between -5 and -10, depending on the camera. Especially with drone shots it looks great and you get the digital look out a bit.
Jo mate, great vid as always. The NiSi Black Mist 1/8 is said to be the in between the BPM 1/8 and 1/4 you wished for. They are cheaper and maybe worth checking out🤙🏻
Dear James, this video is helping me to solve my headache. Thank you for doing this. It is exactly what I need to get my sony to make the image I like. But I still have a question, dunno if you can answer me..... Personally, I feel like I spend extra $$$ on the Sony a7siii and try to do so many manipulations on its image just to get the NATRUAL LOOK straight out of the bmpcc4k/6k I feel like I am an idiot for buying the a7siii in the first place, the IBIS and autofocus advantages I don't use them anyway.
With Black ProMist filters the focal length also changes the intensity of the mist hence the reason for the different filter strengths to match cameras utiilizing different focal lengths. At the same time this is still subjective so ultimately it depends on what look you want creatively.
@@sstteevveenn77 more like the other way around. The longer the focal length the more intense it gets. This is especially if your shot is like a close up. I've heard some people even suggest changes in aperture can affect filter strength as well. But as I said a lot of this is subjective so really it's all about being aware, and choosing whatever works for you.
Great piece of advice James , Thank You :) I love the black mist pro filters. I have to say that 1/4 can be too much sometimes and it would be nice to have something between 1/4 and 1/8. These gold/yellow highlights around 0:50-0:52 are really nice but a bit too strong imo (apologies for being too critique)
Great Vid and love your footage! May i ask, for the handheld footage in this vid - how do you get the human 'shaky' look without CMOS / IBIS wobble? Do you have IBIS turned off in camera or were you using an OS Lens? Either way, it looks great i was just wondering how to achieve this on A7SIII / FX3. thx
Ive been looking at pic profiles on my a7r3 for stills. As a film shooter since ive been into photography for 15 years i dont get why you digital guys keep saying and thinking film is soft etc.. Film doesnt lack contrast, actuence/sharpness, detail, etc does change, and tonality also, (lenses play a big part) as well as how you expose it and scan it, but its not SOFT! lol
Man the best workaround is to just use some sharp vintage stills lenses and call it a day. You get great mechanical focus, and loads of film character and much more pleasing focus falloff. The bpm filters tend to leave weird reflections on the front element. You lose autofocus of course, but you gain much more reliable manual focus
I like your content, and respect you as a content creator, but you and other RUclipsrs need to stop pushing this "film look" narrative. It's all a bunch of baloney, and I believe you all are just repeating the same thing someone else says. For instance you call Sony's footage digital and explain that it isn't soft enough in comparison to the black magic, but if you do a simple RUclips search of a7siii vs bmpcc 6k you'll clearly see that the bm 6k has the sharper and more detailed image and the A7siii is softer right out of camera. But then you all praise the bm 6k because of the so called "better image quality" lol. I've even seen Brandon Li (another great content creator) commenting under the A7siii vs bm6k video gushing over how much better the 6k image looked when it was clearly the sharper of the two images lol. But he also adds an effect in post too his Sony's footage to soften even more an already softer image. I say all this to say, you guys be contradicting yourselves when it comes to this topic. And if you're reading this and have a Sony camera, your image is already good enough. If you want a certain artistic look that's cool. Get you a filter. But don't let these RUclipsrs convince you that your image isn't good enough straight out of camera because of some bs narrative that none of them can agree on. Everyone want the latest gear, the highest resolutions, the sharpest lenses, but then want to soften the image to make it look like old cameras lol. Make it make sense people.
I don’t actually disagree with your comment to be fair mate. The issue is, a look is subjective 1:46 . And I’m trying to get a look that I personally find pleasing (for a certain type content I’m making. Other content I love Sony straight out and it’s insane). To me, the footage looks more ‘Filmic’ out of the BM. And it’s also a buzz word I guess for a title or just a word that people understand when talking about Looks of sensors. So I don’t think it’s baloney but you have some truth to this comment there’s no doubt 👍🏻
Someone told me you shoot auto 🌝 13:39
I know it’s a lot, and not really a youtube filter but it’s what your looking for, DDFX filter only comes in 4x565
No blooming but takes off the digital edge, they use them in the industry all the time these days

Do not add sharpening. Contrast pop gives u a more filmic effect. Sharpening appears digital in my opinion
@@Zinstudios1 yeah I should have said add “a little” sharpness. All about finding the right balance between NR and sharpness to make it look natural.
Nah man 1/4 is just fine lol
