A small excerpt of a long test session with the OM System 0M-1 paired with the Canon 50mm F/.95 The test was a great opportunity to nail down the in-camera settings for the OM-Log, as I've been obsessed over the White Balance settings and the effect it has on the log footage for the past few months.
The good news is my neurotic obsession defiantly paid off, and I think I figured out a good workflow to dial in the WB in log. The tragic news is l've discovered this super weird Pulsating effect that appears in the image anytime anything gets remotely dark enough in the shadows, no matter if there's plenty of light present or not(if you can't see it great. If you can see it tell me know how to fix it, baby!)
Ideally, this would've been a one off situation as we were filming in the middle of the night with street lamps but going through previous footage from various controlled and uncontrolled lighting setups this shit still shows up.
It has bummed the hell out of me.... like for real this shit sucks massive balls.
I'm holding out hope that I'll get an answer from OM System or find a way to pray the sin away (whichever comes 1st), but for now, the OM-1 is probably not the right camera for the films I have in line to make.
Anyway, hope y'all dig it!
