Images below are Fire Wire transfer from Standard Definition Video Camera Sony DSR570. No electronic
Adjustment to Video camera were in Master Gamma / Cine Gamma and Detail level. After determination of ASA
equivalent of Video Camera scenes were lit to preconceived F-stop the "Film Way" with the use of Light Meter.
Highlights are kept in check the "Old Fashion Way" - Lighting.
Workshops exercise Film Look in video with four primary steps:
1. Camera Calibration - Advanced Menu - Shutter, Cine Gamma, Detail Level
2. ASA Equivalent of Video Camera - Waveform
3. Zone System of Exposure Video application
4. Lighting from previsualization with Motion picture light meter - application of "Dancing with Light" Technique
It appears, obtaining the so called "Film Look" entails getting one's hands, mind and soul immersed in Light.
Two detrimental factors to observe are the Light Quality and Lighting Style. Seeing in one's mind constitutes Film
Lighting, and - I believe - first step in trying to achieve the illusive Film Look in Video. It can hardly happen with Camera
Menu and/or camera screwdriver alone. Some things never change... It is about Light and Lighting.
