Re: The righteous path, or, maybe I'm not a Red head

Barend and a few others hit it on the head. Shooting raw is new territory for many video guys. However once you understand the power of shooting raw and developing a specific creative look in post the potential is enormous.

As mentioned, everything the sensor takes in is there for manipulation. It hasn't and should not be pre-treated on location with warm white balance cards, graduated filters, or cine look camera software affecting saturation, contrast, color, etc.

Any stylized look you desire you do in post instead of in the field, leaving your raw image untouched. It's a lot easier to add these things in post then to try to fix or remove a look created in the field.

This isn't a eng/efp camera one pulls quickly out of the bag, fires up, white balances and begins to shoot with. It is very much a film style work-flow - both on location and back in post.
