At NAB we grabbed an interview with Technicolor about their new CineStyle preset for the Canon 5D MkII. After much anticipation, the preset is now available for download…oh, and it’s FREE!
So far it seems to be a winner by offering better latitude than the previously popular “Super flat” preset that many people have been using. Of course, when using the CineStyle preset, you will have to color correct all of your footage in post to avoid a flat looking final product. But with the extra latitude the CineStyle preset provides you, you can more easily choose how you want the final product to look.
Still not convinced? Check out planet5D’s blog post for more examples of CineStyle in action.
With Magic Lantern zebras on you can really see what this style does with the shadows.
An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic. If possible, as you become expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more details? It is highly helpful for me. Big thumb up for this blog post!
