What is YOUR favourite picture profile to shoot on? Any custom 'sweet spot' profiles out there?

[JoeYatesAlaskanFilms]

Less than a year ago, I had no idea how to take photos and videos. After watching your videos, often, I have shot an award winning short film that has been shown in 12 different countries, been hired for both videographer and photographer for weddings, and passed my editing classes...with no help from the professor. I just want to say thank you for passing on the knowledge!

For anyone wanting a flat profile as you can get IF you DON'T have Cinestyle or C-log or a cinema style picture profile!
First find your flattest picture profile on your camera (mine is Neutral)
Turn your Sharpness to 0 (Zero)
Turn your Contrast to -4
Turn your Saturation to -2
Leave your Color Tone at 0 (in the middle)

You can play with these and do whatever you please! Just in case anyone was new, I figured this might help!

Always wonderful seeing your face on Tuesdays Peter! :D Wish I could join you on your adventures! :(

Nobody else on YouTube can spice up a basic camera tutorial better than Pete! Love this channel!

Man, been a news camera/editor since 2000, just bought a canon r8 as my personal camera.
Log is new to me, and this vid totally explained it.
I’m always refining my craft…and your enthusiasm makes it fun to keep learning.
Cheers my friend. Can’t wait to take my new r8 for a spin in Log!

Totally not complaining about the bonus minutes they were a blessing

It's amazing how you demystify the stuff that keeps most of us from diving deep into this world. You are an inspiration brother. You make the intangible, tangible.

[blxke]

Hey Peter! I don't know if your considered this but I would love a video that explains everything that you need to know when shooting. The shutter speeds/iso/apeture/different frames example: 1/50 (I think that's right?). Keep up the good work!

[nicolinogiangiordano]

Hi Peter, your energy is insane..coffee-fueled or not. Don't stop. EVER! I've only been following a few weeks and have been inspired to take as many pics as possible, play with Post-Production apps, shoot video, fly a drone, etc. etc. I might have to go out and buy a camera!! If only I had money. ANY money! BUGGER! In the meantime, thanks for the excellent vlogs, the common-sense opinion, simplified tech info and Lr and Ps tutorials. Love it all.

[Melandjona]

Couldn't agree more with this! We started filming Flat a while back, and after some colour grading, it always looks so much better then default!

[mattguthmiller]

Hey that's me in the s-log footage!

[nomads]

Two minute tuesday is something I'd expect to pay for with the info we get. These are amazing Pete!

[hardiksingh]

Its phenomenal how your channel has grown
When I had subbed you, you literally had 30k and after a few days I could not believe that you had reached 100k
You have taught me a loottt
Congratulations in advance for 1M!!!

It's been 5 months since I started my journey as a developing cinematograhper with the recently-released Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k and I've never been able to fully understand log footage. Peter, you've helped me greatly, my friend. Many thanks from a 22-year-old down in Orlando. Hope to cross paths one day!

[AlanRuic]

Well if you don't have a log log profile in your camera just choose a standard/natural/neutral picture profile. Reduce sharpening to the minimum amount possible. Reduce contrast to the minimum amount possible. Reduce saturation a bit (you still want to retain some color and not go completely monochrome). Super easy!

[AbdulrahmanAteya]

For the Panasonic shooters out there: use Cinelike-D, drop the saturation and drop the contrast

[raminhashemi]

I don't know where you get your energy and enthusiasm but it's working great! Thanks!!!
