Archives For footage

You’ve heard me talk about using the Canon C300 as a great choice for shooting a documentary film. Now see why the C300 is a great choice from a post stand point. I show you examples of the same scene, similar shots but three different cameras rolling. See not only why color correcting the C300 footage is much easier but using some scope tools, why the information captured by the C300 will make your editor and colorist much happier to work with your footage.

This is not a very in depth tutorial on how to color correct or grade footage but more of a comparison video to show the difference between the two cameras from a post and editing view point.

If you missed the video on using the Canon C300 for a documentary film, you can view that here: http://bobbymarko.com/2013/01/documentary-filmmaking-with-the-canon-c300/

I had the chance to field test a Canon C300 for a couple of days. I’m going to be using the camera on my next trip to Guatemala to finish shooting the second documentary for Athentikos called Becoming Fools: http://becomingfools.com

So I used this opportunity to see what kind of images I could get from the camera in certain lighting situations and settings. I used two lenses, the Canon 24-70L 2.8 and a Zeiss ZE 50mm 1.4. None of the footage has been treated and I used the LogC profile for all the clips you see.
