Hi guys, it's been a while and I can see these boards are not very active.
I have liked the look of the Panasonic Varicam LT at 1000-1600 ISO using V-709 Scene File and was considering using higher ISO to get some noise as an aesthetic.
No I am not doing ANY editing or post-production. I am handing off REC.709 baked-in color video files to be edited. So no I am not denoising and adding film-grain in post.
Yes I plan on doing some tests to have that noise give an appearance of grain in-camera, and also using a few codecs (AVC-LongG50/AVC-LongG25 as well as AVCIntraLT) as my client is not super picky about the already lower quality codec they are requesting for 1080p/REC.709 baked-in (since they transcode all to 720/60p using MPEG2 422 50Mbps before editing), and also for using in-camera noise reduction for less RGB color noise but still texture.
with a Super-35 sized sensor I had read that BASE ISO of 5000 give a nice grain, then using BASE ISO 5000 and boost it up while using all ND filters indoor on sit-down interviews.
thoughts?
