Sony Fs7 Raw to Black & White

Alexander Wysocki #808 I have a project coming up and we are planning on finishing it in Black and White. I will most likely have to use the Sony FS7 for this with an Odyssey Raw recorder. The setting of the film is the 1940s so we are aiming for a Black and White look that will evoke that era. I will be using a set of Zeiss Super Speed PL primes. Could anyone suggest a LUT that would serve as a good starting point? Every time I see a digital conversion to B&W I am bothered by the black level never getting completely dark. I know there are a ton of LUT websites out there, but before I go downloading a whole bunch of them, I would really appreciate any suggestions or advice (or warnings) from this group. thanks, Alex Wysocki Director Of Photography / Camera Operator Burbank, CA www.ShadowRender.com

Colin Elves #809 I would recommend baking your own in Resolve. Get a digital version of an old film you’re trying to match and some camera tests, then add the film into Resolve and A/B the camera test footage until you get a look you like. The RGB Mixer panel is a good place to work on a B&W look as you can adjust how much each RGB channel contributes to the luma. There’s a few tutorials online about using thE RGB Mixer for B&W. Once you’re happy, export the grade as a LUT. Colin Elves Director of Photography Currently Kent toggle quoted message. . .

Argyris_Theos_cml #810 May I suggest using B/W camera filters during shooting?

Andrew McKee #811 My advice would be to start building a relationship with a colourist by shooting some test footage, taking it to them and developing a LUT together. It really will serve you better than any LUT you can buy online. Andrew McKee Film Editor & Colourist andrew-mckee.net toggle quoted message. . .

Jan Klier #812 A custom LUT is definitely the way to go given your camera configuration. With the FS7 and 7Q+ you will be shooting in slog3 and will need a correction LUT for that as well. But since you can only load one LUT into the 7Q+ it needs to combine the slog3 correction and your B&W transform in one. As suggested work with the post folks to create and test it.
