We shot DNG RAW, but I think it was 1600 by the time it looked usable. Then plenty of grain, too much for me. I assume the camera operator was wide open at 2.8, but I'll ask him.
Thanks - sounds like a consensus. We actually lit the scene starting from darkness.
I suppose I was thinking that there are some Vimeo low light tests lately that are achieving the look from available light by simply capturing the low light that is there, esspecially with the GH4, A7S, etc...
Linked here is my test footage using a BMCC RAW and a Tokina ATX AF 16-28mm f/2.8. I'm shooting in low light conditions, and it the film needs to be this darkābut this test footage seems too grainy, not enough clarity, and not much depth of field wide open.
Should I be looking into renting...
