just some thoughts i had and wanted to share. not enough people talk about this kind of stuff. the youtube cinematography landscape can be a lot for anyone starting out or interested. i just don't want to see people losing focus on what matters.
i know the lighting keeps changing. it's from the sun. please don't make fun of me because i can't control it.

I didn't realize I was a little out of focus until editing. Well, my bad.
Anyway, this one is a bit of a quick video. Arri just released a weird video announcing two new grain textures for the Alexa 35. I often use the grain textures in the camera, so these interested me.

I find them to be very efficient. Here are my thoughts on them.

Took a break from building furniture to film some shots. I recently started trying out Filmbox by Video Village in my workflow. Here are some shots set to 35mm/500t. Simple balance and tweaks to taste.Sony Venice Footage - Zeiss Super Speed MKII T1.3Mitchell Brinker2023-09-28 | Three shots from a small, unscientific test at CSLA in Atwater. Taking a look at 3200 ISO while at 2500 base. Don't remember the exact focal length, but I was wide open. There was some level of ND.

Color Space Transform Slog3 to LogC4 with Vision Teal LogC4 LUT.Arri Alexa 35 Footage - Helios 44-2 58mmMitchell Brinker2023-09-26 | Small camera test in my apartment for an upcoming shoot. Wanted to try out a LUT I created for the Alexa 35 that allows you to monitor a dark, underexposed image keeping the image nice and thick. The look was inspired by Jeff Cronenweth. I wanted to capture the dark, grungy, green and yellow tinged look you see in films like The Social Network and Gone Girl.
The project consists of mostly night scenes, so the LUT should help out with getting that moody image without getting down into the noise floor. The grain seen here is the Arri Nostalgic texture because why not. Grain is great.
Lens was set wide open at T2 for all shots. Everything was lit with a single 750w Source Four bounced wherever was the most flattering.
If this is well received I may start doing a few videos breaking down lighting, etc.
