Hi Rob,
Thanks a lot for the link! Seems like colours are pretty good out of camera and can take some minimal grading.

Hi everyone! I'm looking into the Freefly Wave as an alternative camera for those quick, lower budget tabletop shoots. Obviously there's no comparison in terms of quality to even an older Phantom or Weisscam, but it might make up for it in terms of accessibility and workflow.
From the spec sheet, I am worried about the bit depth, file format, and compression ratio, which might cause big problems with banding and crushed blacks, especially in tabletop and other studio environments. The videos on the Freefly website also don't inspire much confidence to be honest, although I'm not sure if those artefacts is down to web compression. Unfortunately, being on a tiny island means I can't easily get one for a test day :) Is there anyone on list that has one or has shot with one, and would be able to send me a take in the native format (or a transcode to ProRes)? Preferably something on black with good lighting, but I would take anything. Thank you very much! Marc -- Marc Srour Producer / Motion Control Specialist ABL Films Cyprus |
