Start recording 10-bit Log for color-managed workflows
Action cameras have long been the bane of many colorists’ existence. 8 bit, highly compressed, poor dynamic range, oversharpening, and aggressive noise reduction makes these common cameras a real pain to color grade.
I’ve been using action cameras for a long time, attaching them to aerobatic FPV drones due to their small size and weight – but the footage was never really usable due to the well-known quality problems with these cameras. I firmly believe these aerobatic drones offer a perspective and movement freedom that no other filmmaking tool does. And as technology has evolved, they have begun to transition from hobby items to serious filmmaking tools.
FPV Drones as a professional filmmaking tool
Major motion pictures and commercials are now using FPV to fly larger cinema cameras, but smaller action cams are getting better and better – and Gopro has recently released what I think is a complete breakthrough in the space: an action camera that can record 10 bit log.
