Re: the flat look, I, too, suspect it comes from log footage, although I’m not sure it has to do with not knowing. It could also just be that if you do your dailies and editing without a LUT, as seemed to be common at one point, you get used to the way it looks and are less likely to go for a very contrasty look in grading.
- dylan604 4y agoI've met more than one person that has admitted that they did not know anything about flat/log and just thought that's what the footage was supposed to look like. Not the sharpest tacks in the box, but not all "artists" are technically savvy. They had no idea about color correction because that was primarily the realm of film production. Up to that point, video cameras always came shot as full range. There was a big learning curve for non-techy shooters.
