Was this using the CineLook mode on the camera or was it shot normal and all done in post?

Excellent look, Jung. How, precisely, did you alter the curve?

It looks like a slight s-curve, for blacker blacks, with maybe a bit of a shift upwards of the red curve, for a bit of warming.

Very nice. Good to see somone actually use some locked down shots to demonstrate a film look. Nice color correction.

check out my post in film look for a good method to convert to 24p in axp

That looks amazing! i couldnt watch it full speed, but what frame rate where you using? thanks

Looks good to me as well. Please let us know the particulars of camera settings, lens filters, etc as well as anything you did in post. tks

I don't think he's going to tell us. He doesn't seem to want to if his constant ignoring of our questions says anything. That's too bad because we could have all benefitted.

I agree. Every time he is posting something he does not reply to any questions. I am not the one to judge but I think forums like this are here to help people and I think people who only like to show off should go somewhere else.

But maybe Jung has been busy so I hope he reads these posts and will tell us how he achieved this (camera settings + post actions).

I guess I'm in the minority here because I just don't find the footage that impressive. It looks like HDV footage looks from an HDR-HC1 with deinterlacing and a Gamma S-curve applied (example for Mini-DV footage here: http://www.dvinfo.net/articles/filmlook/broadway2.php). He hasn't created anything that the rest of you can't create with relatively little effort.

I am especially interested in how I can achieve something like this with Final Cut Pro 5, the application I am using now for editing.

If there is a thread about this, or someone can explain it to me, it would be greatly appreciated. I read the article you linked.

I don't have any experience with Final Cut Pro but your best bet is probably Nattress Film Effects if you can afford the $100 (pretty reasonable price):

(Too bad Graeme Nattress doesn't make software for Premiere Pro and other PC applications. He would probably make a killing...)

You should look in the Final Cut for HD / HDV forum:
