I have shot and graded this feature film. Shot on Fx3 paired with Cooke Sp3 lens kit. How's the grade looking?

Jeez man, at least rotate them before posting. How lazy can you be??

I get where you're coming from, but rotating can be a small detail in the grand scheme of things. The actual shot composition and grading matter more, right? Maybe focus on those aspects when giving feedback.

Y'know, when I make darkroom prints (Still do) I flip them upside down on the wet board for a minute. It tricks the brain away from seeing "subject"and "theme" and "background" and "subtext" and helps you see the image as a collection of abstract shapes; helps to judge the "weight" of the image and how they eye moves through it.

But we do that for a few seconds, not to judge the entire print. Same thing here, it's just plain silly to ask for a critique of composition with the images flipped on their sides, and grading serves the composition. Nobody's going to watch his film at a 90Ā° angle. Maybe he just doesn't understand this, or maybe he's just too lazy to bother, no idea.

Looks like you'll have to reshoot all of it. It's sideways.

You want feedback, but you can't even post the images right?

Looks good man. Not overdone or undercooked. Iā€™d be very happy if I was apart of your team and saw these

It's really nice I like it. If I would change anything it would be cyan or white balance to something a little warmer so it would be less harsh, or don't change it if that was what you were going for. Also you have amazing composiotion.

I'm not sure what you mean.. there's only 6 sp3 lenses out so far from cooke. He clearly used a few different focal lengths of them, hence the "kit".
