    So if you couldn't tell from the 15 minute video, I love this plugin. You can see the amount of work the team at Dehancer have put into it, by checking out the articles and FAQ sections on their website - blog.dehancer.... . Just having this as a free online resource is great, even without the plugin itself - very appreciative of what Dehancer have done here, not only with the film emulation, but also the educational aspect!
    It's worth noting that while I used a lot of grainy looks in this video, there's absolutely no reason why you can't turn the grain off and go for a more modern, detailed look, with the colour of your chosen film stock. As you're working in Resolve, you can also add nodes before or after Dehancer to open out and get more specific with your color grade. So it's flexible enough to be used for a more modern look with filmic colours as a base too, and I'll definitely be using it this way also.

      Wow thank you so much for such kind words!! I can't really claim to be any sort of expert on film, as it's mainly been a subjective feeling for me over the years, not quite understanding why I liked it so much, but browsing Dehancer's FAQ's and learning more about the film process just solidified the feeling and made me aware of the reasons why I do like it! So I'm super happy what I talked about subjectively and objectively in the video would have sold you on it, that means a lot to hear! Thanks so much!! :)

    Another thing I say is key to having a solid emulation is saving your highlights, the range of films highlights is leaps and bounds better than digital sensors, so if anyone is shooting to emulate and you can stop down a bit or if you can shift your EI so you have the most stops in highlights possible that way you’ll get that smooth roll off film has

    Man, the more I see footage of the BMMCC, the more I'm glad I own one. I love the convenience of the Pocket 4K, but it's just something about the motion, whether it's the camera moving or the subject, that feels... like I'm looking at a scene that was shot on a camera... rather than being immersed in the moment. That snow falling shot at 13:19 is a really beautiful captured example. There's an immediate feeling conveyed in a matter of seconds.

      @@RobEllisCinematographer Yeah I grew up with 90's movies and I still think its probably the best decade for cinema, so I'm kind of biased in what I think movies should look like. There are still great examples of cinematography in more recent movies like Interstellar, A Quiet Place, and anything Deakins, so really whether film or digital it ultimately comes down to using the tools to make the film the best it can be. It's really cool to live in a time where so many tools are at our disposal and that really anyone can make an actual, proper film. Every time I come back to one of your videos it reignites that creative spark. You've got a fantastic channel here, keep up the great work!

      @@glenis83 me too! Born in 91 so I watched a lot of 80's and 90's movies when I was younger - film is definitely burned into my brain and represents a lot of feelings and ideas I can't quite express in words. Even down to old family photos being disposable camera film prints, those memories exist purely in film form now and I find the whole process of film, and on some level the way it looks, similar to memories and dreams, imperfect and rough around the edges. To me it's just very congruent to the way our minds process images and I think that's why it feels a little more magic - like something you can't quite grasp but feels really familiar! I totally agree that we live in an exciting time to have all these options with the tools we use to create, at affordable prices too!

    No need to use the WB to match the stock balanced temperature - people been using both daylight and tungsten not to what light they “meant” be used.

You grade to what what looks good to you and what serves the story 🤷🏻‍♂️ looks like a neat plugin though shame they priced it so poorly could make a lot more if they had better pricing.

So I need something, that my customers will be able to see on any device(I think h265 would be problematic) and it won't be tens of gigabytes... Maybe you also have some recommended settings to export for instagram. TIA!

    Yo this is great. When you use the print film lut in resolve, my understanding is that they are made for Rec709 color and Cineon gamma, I saw that you transformed the color to blackmagic film and then added saturation.
    I’m sure you have messed with this already, but I thought I would mention at least. The results with rec709 color in your output transform would mean you wouldn’t have to push the saturation, it should just look proper straight away!

    Brilliant! I own this plugin. Could you do a quick tutorial on grading with Dehancer, maybe indoors and outdoors? FYI, I usually grade under wide gamut because of the insane dynamic range it gives me. And another important question: which is the best Kelvin settings for each scenario? I know outdoors is 5600. How about indoors during daylight, etc? Or should I do a quick white balance in post? Cheers

    • @RobEllisCinematographer
      @RobEllisCinematographer  3 роки тому +3

      Thanks Lee! It's a great plugin right?! I try to upload topics that are little lengthier on my channel, but in any situation using Dehancer really, I would grade exposure in a similar way to how I did it on this video when we looked the Expand and Print options - depending on the mood of the shot of course, as crushing the black point could be used for a certain look. The correct way to balance for the film stock as shown in the video is to use a white balance matching that of the film stock you're using, regardless of the situation, as this replicates the film stock colours accurately. However, there isn't any reason you can't get creative and make new looks by choosing a different white balance that fits your vision for the scene - or if you've only used tungsten lighting and you want to use a daylight balanced film stock, you might want to select a white balance closer to 3200K, for example. Hope that helps :)

Absolutely, I would have loved to have gone a bit more in depth with the film print side and shown how you can use Dehancer for more of that big blockbuster film look too - but I decided to wait until they release the film print emulation within the plugin, as I reckon they will do a better job with it than I can haha! Glad you enjoyed the video!

      @@captureinsidethesound Well, given for any graded project you would always shoot log. So are you saying Film Convert vs Dehancer is dependent on whether you shoot in REC709 or log? That doesnt seem right.

    Found it ! Is there a chart that says what white balance should be set for each film stock ?

    • @RobEllisCinematographer
      @RobEllisCinematographer  2 роки тому +2

      For the motion picture stocks a D will dictate daylight (so 5500k or 5600k, I forget which exactly!) and T will dictate tungsten (so 3200k) - all of the other stocks are still film stocks and most of them I believe would be daylight. You can always double check the name of the film to see if its daylight or tungsten with a Google search 😁 edit: obviously you don't have to match them completely and can still use white balance creatively as we have the flexibility of digitally working with the video!

I am thinking the same in regard of using them as long as they are functioning. Hopefully BM will introduce a new model once with the Micro form factor as I really like this cube shape style and its size (in MFT format). Unfortunately there is no Fairchild sensor anymore on the market (and nothing similar) but hopefully BM can develop a similar look with their newer Color Science (especially if you found that 6K Pro has already has similar feel)

  • @captureinsidethesound
    @captureinsidethesound 2 роки тому

    The older Blackmagic Cameras used Fairchild sensors in which gave it that film-like look. I'm thinking BM turned from these sensor due to the rise in the very polished, clean and overly sharp look from more modern cameras like Sony and Panasonic. BM had to cater to the common user so I totally understand why. ARRI may have something to do with as well considering BM was releasing camera's with the same goal - digital cinema camera that rendered an image like film. RED made a huge deal about ProRes so I wouldn't be surprised if ARRi shot back at BM for potentially putting a huge dent in a market they dominate.

    • @RobEllisCinematographer
      @RobEllisCinematographer  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you! I highly recommend it! So for this, I actually uploaded a 75GB 12 bit DNxHR file just to make sure the grain showed at 4K (it becomes murky at 1080, but that's just good old UA-cam) - however, I should think exporting that 12 bit DNxHR in 4K and using something like Handbrake to transcode to a high quality h264/h265 would have worked nicely too (albeit a little loss of quality in comparison). I'll check this on future uploads! I had to leave my computer running all night to upload that 75GB file haha so I'm not keen on doing that for every upload!
