Juha: “I wanted to share this video I made and submit it to your viewers category. To be honest it is my showcase video on my website but less of a showreel as more of a music video and also a NYC street portrait. It is mixed media – Video, stills and music. So here it is, shot on A7s & A7rII – all Sony Zeiss glass – 50mm 1.8, 35 2.8 and 24-70f 4.
Edited in PP CC, Music made with Ableton Live. https://vimeo.com/157605509”

Omeneo announced a new profile for the Sony A7rII. The benefits are:

– Improved color accuracy
– More natural image aesthetics
– No more “Sony look”
– Reduced image deterioration with XAVC-S codec, compared to required primary color correction and generic LUTs

The creator of the software (Hrvoje) wrote me this:

“I’m very happy to share the result of a long and very tricky process which resulted with something cool for Sony A7R2 camera. I’ve made a set of 3DLUTS which noticeably improve A7R2 motion imaging performance. I call these transforms Primers.
They are S-Log2 S-Gamut to rec.709 transforms, custom designed specifically for A7R2 color science and they can be perceived as advanced picture profiles, harvesting higher computing precision and helping to get the most out of A7R2’s great sensor. The most important factors achieved are 1) improved color accuracy 2) more natural image aesthetics 3) reduced deterioration of footage compared to typical grading and generic LUTs 4) scene-optimized utilization of DR with reduced XAVC-S grading issues.
The set includes 13 LUTs, 10 neutral for specific scene types and 3 with analog response feel.
These were designed with shooting and post in mind, to help in both.”

Thanks Hrvoje for your work!
