Tips for HDR grading in Final Cut Pro.

Intro shot with the Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 and recorded in ProRes RAW 4K 23.976. Remainder shot with the FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA in S-Log3/S-Gamut3 XAVC S-I.

The a7s III is not just a warmed-over a7 III: it has vastly improved color science, uncanny autofocus that surpasses that of any rival mirrorless camera (especially when recording RAW and log at two stops over); full pixel readout 4K 120p with no line skipping or overheating; the highest resolution EVF of any hybrid camera; a wide choice of codecs to choose from with manageable file sizes; and improved image stabilization.

Intro ISO 1600, f/2.5, remainder ISO 640 f/2.8.
Graded in Final Cut Pro 10.5.1 with the LG OLED 55CX.
