[Tig] crushing blacks and whites in film

[Tim Stipan]

Hi Bart,

What print stock are you going to? 

Fugi, Kodak Vision, Premiere? 

You need to do a filmout test. Take a couple of
scenes, 30-60 seconds and film it out to the
productions chosen stock (hope your LUT is emulating
the stock!!) 

Lots of people crush blacks and blowout whites but
they have tested this look before doing an entire
feature that way!


Best of luck!

Tim
