Back from a long day in the field, flashed backed to Moon Trial 3 this morning. Looking at rushes I'm definitely liking trial 3 better than 4 for complex wide scenes with deep DOF. Am I crazy? Not sure, nobody has weighed in yet. I will have to do a test on the same scene I suppose, for now, same lens combo (20mm + La7200), same settings, same area of the world, Moon 3...

@Driftwood AS usual I'm testing on the worst possible shots. I gotta tell you Nick, I really love moon, Yhis one was moon 4. Samyang 24mm 1.4 standard -2

just some quick clips of moon trial 4

@jclmedia a phantom flex, gopro, or gh3 (60p) ??

@jclmedia 720p60 with either moon or senda; alternately, if you don't have fast enough cards, perhaps flowmotion. 720p60 footage is in my experience as high quality as 1080p60 footage from many other dslrs, particularly with the hacks, and especially for online delivery.

@GravitateMediaGroup at 0.29(and some frames later) is this noise on the tin roof due to youtube compression? the rest is looking really good and free of funny artifacts.

@driftwood Nick, I am running the trial 4 drewnet cluster x and it looks pretty good for the low bitrates(actually some times almost as low as stock: mid20's - mid 30's) it has. But high ISO's bring some noise issues(much more so then other clusters). Is trial 5 any improvement in this regard? Thanks.

@Mirrorkisser good to know! 32gb here. Mine don't say Pro ; ) but i did have some issues with Cluster v8...pull of battery kind of stuff, on EXT tele mostly and tracking a fast moving object, so somehow to be expected i guess.

@luxis DREWnet is being improved at the moment.

@gravitatemediagroup @driftwood: i also have a slight tendency towards trial 3. Blown up stills of trial 4 look slightly sharper, but i am not sure, if its for the better or not...

@jclmedia if you go to page 1 of this topic, you will see why moon is better than flowmotion

One of the big pushes with Flowmotion was to minimize the appearance of color banding. How is Moon in this respect?

Also, for those who have tried both, how does Moon compare to the Driftwood's popular Intravenus setting?

It simply feels like you've bought a brand new camera!

This is the truth. I loaded it up and was struck immediately at the difference and how "filmic" what little noise was there felt.

@matt_gh2, nice one, I'm also a big Lomo fan.

@josh_chiara, that must be one long anamorphic chained lens setup with the Lomo 37-140, enjoyed the Skeleton Hands vid. What particular Schneider-Ana did you put on the front? I use Isco Cinemascope Ultra Star's, and hate the dual focus ascpect...
