Title: Msyterium X shots in difficult light
Post by: bill t. on January 30, 2010, 12:32:41 am
FWIW, some Mysterium X shots in zilch light levels, and other difficult lighting situations.  Not bad at all.

Looks great! The aliasing artifacts are terrible, though. Someone must have botched the downconversion.

Yeh indeed the welder's shirt is a real mess of strobing colour artefacts and moire. Does Mysterium X have an anti-aliasing filter?

If Jim Jannard is using that as a Mysterium X showreel they really ought to look at some sort of anti-moire filter in the down conversion.
... on the other  hand, hooray for it looking at least as awesome as 5D Mk2 footage. Had to feel bad for Red One getting trumped rather by the arrival of full frame 35mm full 1080p in a camera costing so little (even with the horrendous artefacts you get from the 5D Mk2's aliasing, it still produces damn sexy footage).

Yes, we have decent optical filtering on the M-X, the moire in the movie comes from downsampling to the h264 for distribution.

Of course, the "full frame 35mm full 1080p" don't measure any-where-near 1080p, and the codec used is pretty ugly.
