Hey guys,- I found this thread after making a similar post...sorry for redundancy. Please let me know what you found out. I have similar questions... I have been using the HVX with great results in 720 24PN in all kinds of exterior daylight. My next shoot will be at night, on the streets of a big city with all the light sources you can imagine, from sodium vapor street lights, to tungsten and neon. I have been shooting with a consistent under exposure to preserve detail in the highlights, but now i am worried about losing detail in the shadows. Is there a particular gamma curve (cine Like V or D... not sure what they mean...) or 24PN compatible setting that you can advise me to try? Is there a setting for black levels that will allow me to keep my beautiful film like look and recover shadow detail? thanks for helping me learn! shoot starts Monday 8 /6 I appreciate your prompt response.

Also... I will be using an VidLED kit with 5600 and 8000K colors. Any hinst for working with cool LEDS?

Hey guys, I have been using the HVX with great results in 720 24PN in all kinds of exterior daylight. My next shoot will be at night, on the streets of a big city with all the light sources you can imagine, from sodium vapor street lights, to tungsten and neon. I have been shooting with a consistent 1/2 stop under-exposure to preserve detail in the highlights, but now I am worried about losing detail in the shadows on this night shoot. Is there a particular gamma curve (cine Like V or D... not sure how they differ...) for 24PN compatible setting that you can advise me to try? Is there a setting for black levels that will allow me to keep my beautiful film like look and recover shadow detail? Thanks for helping me learn!

Please let me know if this was the solution. I am about to embark on the same format shoot and I am trying to anticipate problems. thanks!
