Sink your eyeball teeth into this juicy, delicious, colorful, beautiful bean footage. Nothin fancy, just some slight movements this way or that. You don't even have to try with this camera. It does all the beauty work for ya. I'm in love.

Shot on a super basic Canon 18-135 lens. I don't do a lot of rack focus in this because it would look crappy. Gonna get some other lenses here soon. But this footage gives you a good idea of how sweet of an image you can harvest off this sensor. All the shots are color corrected in a slightly different way. I wanted to see what kind of results I could get out of Magic Bullet filters and whatnot. Color correcting Scarlet footage may be my favorite new thing to do in my spare time.

Here was my edit to web process...

1. Edited on Vegas Pro 11 in 720p for smoothness.

2. Changed timeline preferences to 4K.

3. Exported an 8bit .png sequence.

4. Imported into After Effects.

5. Exported 4K h.264 file at like 24mpbs.

The file came out to be about 1.6GB mp4. Things I want to try in the future:

-I wanna render out a 32bit sequence and then render it out as a 16bit sequence to h.264. There is some unwanted banding in the fades. Oh well, not worried at this point.

As far as I can tell, this camera is gonna be a rockstar. Nothing too weird yet. Running the latest beta firmware 2.0.8. I did try a Zeiss Planar 50mm ZE lens that went nuts when I attached it today. That was a bummer. I was really hoping to make Zeiss lenses work on this. We'll see.
