Really nice Joathan!
I'll view this's again on a bigger screen (just on my iPhone now), but the blue colour looks really nice.
Is this with your scarlet or with an epic?
If it was with you scarlet, what lens hand how is it to work with the change of FOV when you move from different fps? Do you compensate for that whit your chose of lens before the shot?

Thanks guys, it was with my Scarlet and the lens was a Tokina 10-17mm
nearly every shot was 10mm at 4K the crop makes it around 16mm I think. I would like to get the Canon 8-15mm and give that a test, I reckon that could be pretty cool. The 720p file really doesn't do it justice either though the compression makes it look pretty bad.

I am actually not super happy with the grade, I did it pretty fast in RCX and PP but Ireckon it need a little work in Color or Resolve.

Regarding frame rates it was shot at 4K on a 25FPS timebase but at 30FPS to try and lessen the bumps etc.
