    Art vs. DLog Comparison Video

    It is doing fine. I am still never 100% on using it all the time. Such as, when I need a bit more highlight detail or a pure white sun I will use Art, because the zebra appears not to work in D-Log but it's because the heavy rolling off from the log is smushing it all down. I shot this on D-Log

    And what is it exactly that you have read that says that?

    Cinematographer Flight patterns

    My suggestion is to watch films you enjoy, and see how aerial shots are treated. Make notes while watching, and then try to duplicate them once in the air. Always have a plan/list of shots before you fly so you can make the most of the time.

    WORKFLOW: How do you take h.264 garbage and make it useable for editing (per requests)

    If you need it for video (hate to continue the derailing of this thread, but alas) and are SERIOUS about quality, you are comparing apples to an Orchard of apple trees.

    Phantom 4 Raw Video

    Rent an Inspire 1 RAW. Or get a Matrice and fly a RED or BMPCC. The idea of putting 3rd party firmware on an aircraft just gives me all the wrong sort of feelings.

    PolarPro Cinema Series filters

    WORKFLOW: How do you take h.264 garbage and make it useable for editing (per requests)

    Watched the newest video (I have 15 years in Video Production and Photography and firmly understand codecs and formats), and it is full of fantastic information for those interested in getting the best workflow. There are a few niggles I have about some things but I will not bring them up here...

    Phantom 4 ND Filters

    180 degree shutter. There is a great article explaining why we do it here. It comes from the old film days of cinema, how the cameras worked, and it has to do with our perception of motion. 45 degree shutter in Saving Private Ryan

    Phantom 4 w/ Atomos Ninja Flame

    You would have to upgrade to the HDMI out on the remote, but I don't know what signal that is outputting so you may not get much better from it.

    D-Log Colour vs NONE - Detailed comparison

    It depends. I did a comparison between DLog and Art, and I am loving Art at -1 -2 -3. Here is the comparison: (Though -1 -2 -3 isn't in it) And here is a little video of my buddy's car we did a day ago. (In Art at -1 -2 -3) Graded in Resolve, you can definitely get cinematic results with...
