Shane,

First great job! Yes, I agree with you 110% and love this statement at the end…”Biggest disservice to this revolution is not to light”.

PS. I was in the audience when you came to San Mateo to talk about shooting with 5D on “Act of Valor”. Also, a great talk and really loved your energy!

Bob Demers, those were all flame bars under the chicken, not a true grill, so we could control the size and color. I think the C300 handled it very well.

Great spot; nice and snappy. On your footage, how did you accomplish the delightful flames on the grill, yet not cause the chicken to burn and smoke? They come off as an neat caricature of grill flames.

Cheers.

Hi Paolo. I shoot in either Canon log or use a custom picture profile with the Cine 2 gamma curve with R-G channel set to -8 If I don’t want as flat of a look. Check out this site for more detailed info on recommended settings http://cpn.canon-europe.com/files/news/video_expert_produces_eos_c300_report/Alan_Roberts_on_the_Canon_EOS_C300.pdf. Thanks for the comment and support.

Thanks as always for sharing precious info.

I would like to know if you have any tips for setting up the picture profiles on the C300, or any settings you may recommend.

Thanks!

Paolo

Bridger, you are very welcome and thank you for your kind words. Yes I had to bring the levels up so that the flames did not blow out and look all video clippy, if that is a word. The food photography I did not do, that was another DP.

Shane – I just found your blog after recently viewing the Act of Valor behind the scenes, and I have to say thank you so much for the in depth analysis and honesty across the board. Such an excellent source of info!

Your blog is one of my favorites. Thanks for the transparancy and doing what you do. Earlier you talked about lighting for flames. Was the idea to bring up all the light around them so they weren’t so bright in comparison? Am I understanding this correctly? Also, any quick tips for lighting food? The salsa and avacado shots look great.

We’ve got a release date of June 15th for Act of Valor in Brazil.
