I like your work. I think really demonstrates how truly 'cinematic' the GH4 can be when used properly. I hope you get the funding to make the film. It is a really nice concept.

Looks amazing alex! What lenses were you using?

In-cam noise reduction is clearly still to be avoided. A smeared looking image just isn't usable at all. Noise is less objectionable than the smearing! And still is better worked on by full noise-control software in post.

I haven't been checking these posts in a while so I'm not sure if anyone else here has tried the "Megyesi" settings (http://www.supertone.dk/#!GH4-Optimal-Film-Setting-works-in-stills-too/c24o4/8E18836A-F271-4A14-AF0D-C575B9D5F4B6") This project I shot has I think great skin tones, using those settings with no other color correction.

@Alienhead

That supertone setting is interesting. It darkens midtones and highlights so you can expose more and get strong signal and less noise. I must test it. i still fear that it ruins the GH4 exellent dyn range.

@Alienhead ...

Nice work. In my testing with a GH3, this works with that one also. Didn't lose any dynamic range but skin tones and color feel are better. Especially considering the GH3's infamous magenta/plasticine skin. And grades quite well. I've loved seeing it with GH4 footage like yours.

No grading, huh? Nice job ...

Thanks guys. @rNeil there is only some white balancing and a little brightness/contrast adjustment in a couple of shots.

I shot it in 4k and delivered in 1080, which gave me some flexibility to 'zoom in' on the timeline with a few shots.

@Alienhead

I watched your sample video and it looks very clean. It has though a little "smoothed" or "plasticky" highlights to me and kind of dark black tones. I have tested a little this high contrast + HL darkening setup and while it gives very clean image I still prefer low contrast look with more noise.

I watched my 4k recordings with a mid range Panasonic 55" 4k tv (AX630) and I saw very little noise in my low contrasts clips. The processing in 4k Tv is so good that the image is much cleaner than in computer monitor and there is less need to get the cleanest image in-camera.

For a project I need to film a night scene and I am thinking to try 'day for night' with the GH4. Has anyone got any experience with this? What would the best settings be?

Hey community! Take a look at the power of image and color utilizing the Panasonic GH4. The camera grades incredibly well, looking forward to V-Log.

@nosignal I am glad you enjoyed it. We use these settings 90% of the time. I hope this helps!

@Maddog15 did you mean in reference to our video "Image & Color"? If so thanks a bunch man!
