So here's one of those snow tests I did but I grade on it, and put in some comparisons to the original footage so you can see the difference.
I didn't spend a ton of time on it--crushed some of the blacks with the Levels, added a contrast curve, and tinkered slightly with the color with the Fast Color Corrector.
Definitely looks better though. The first 11 seconds is ungraded.
Because I don't have enough blogs. But seriously, this blog will be for some other things I do that are not necessarily related to individual movies.

Panasonic GH-4 Accessories
So it appears I may be shooting another segment for our anthology horror feature "Terrortory". I figure, this will be a good time to use the GH4, really find out what it's capable of.
Only problem is that I just have the barest kit for it. I have my other lenses plus one MFT lens, and that's it.
That means I have to pick up some more stuff.
First off I need some more batteries. This looks like a good start, and is significantly cheaper than the brand batteries:
Then I need another card:

You may wonder why I'm only getting 64gb cards instead of the 128. I read a lot of information that said you might get drop-out and errors on the 128s, so I think it's safer to stay with the 64gb.
I could use a cheap stabilizer. Don't think I want to lug the dolly/tracks into the woods again. That shit is for the birds. So there's this:
Now it says it's only good for up to 2.5 pounds. The GH4 plus the MFT lens is way under that. It's pretty crazy how light it is.
However when I put the Rokinon on it it gets to about 3 pounds. I can probably make it work either way.
I want to get another lens in the 35mm range. A prime would be nice. But everybody says if you're going to get just one mid-priced lens for the GH4, it's this one:
I think if I get all of these(total cost about $1K) then I'm prepared enough to shoot.
