How The Creator Made The Sony FX3 Look So Good

Nice one, Palfers. An under appreciated aspect that defines the look of a film, and gives it a Hollywood feel, is camera movement. Whilst everyone has a gimbal, there is something about a jib, crane or technocrane move that can’t (easily) be replicated with a one, and the Creator often stuck their gimbals on the end of cranes to get the best of both worlds.

Very disappointed to learn that Hans Zimmer isn't featured on Audiio. Nice breakdown!

😊Thank you Jonathan, I just subscribed to your very interesting channel. In your story, you put the “camera settings” as an understandable very important chapter. What camera setting do you think they have used? Naturally I am referring to Sony File Format. I have just purchased an FX30, which I am still studying and still never used, because I am still wondering on what file format I should use. Having the FX3 and the FX30 the same file format, your appreciated comment, would be for me the final decision to start working with it. Thank you.

If it wasn’t the fuss over what camera the creator used I think more people would notice the massive holes in the plot, poor script and bad casting. I think making the technical side the talking point actually did a ton of good for the movie.

Great info, thanks!

Great video. A lot of people put a lot of credit to the fx3 itself and the camera is great but black magic pocket cameras shoot plenty of information as well. The Sony a7sii captures good enough image that you wouldn’t know it wasn’t shot on an Alexa or red. It’s a lot more important what’s in-front of the cameras. Watch the Scream trailer for the new movies and notice the wardrobe. They ALL wear “none colors” like black or gray or they where pink or blue there isn’t anything else. No orange no green nothing but what fits within the color palette. Then they use tungsten lights for warmth against very blue lights. Color contrast & the limiting of colors. Even the walls fit within the pallet of warms with wood to contrast blue moon light.

people keep saying that the 800 and 12800 is the cleanest iso but i found that 12800 has more noise then even 1600 iso, so i dont understand ?

nice video just that cut before the sound portion of the video cmon bro :) Just wanted to compliment your lighting here , at first i thought "too dark" made me look again and its fuckin great very cozy and calming kudos!!! very nice video o9verall keep i t up !

My guessing here, having so much very dark areas, how they deal with the cam noise generated by FX3, it is a great cam ( I own one and have shooted extensively with my cam) and on Log noise is always an Issue

What's the name of the lenses they used for the movie ?

Does anyone know with certainty what Sony picture style (I.e. S-log3)was used on the movie? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Believability of the actors is also huge, even in just a still frame. It makes a massive difference in the perceived quality

I didn't know that Hans Zimmer's cousin, Hans Zimmermen did the music. That's awesome!

Real shame that the creator is such a mediocre movie despite looking so good

To be honest yes it looks great but when you compared to Dune Part two, you can clearly see the difference in image quality. In The Creator I found the image lacking of dynamic range. If you grab a still from the movie and check the waveform, you will see how the blacks are clipped so hard and everything is really dark (even during the day shots). I love contrast but here it's too contrasty to my taste, it lacks details in the shadows. And I also noticed that even in 4k (full quality), it was really soft compared to Dune wich in comparaison has an organic image with a lot of details (not sharpness).
But I really liked the lighting, the color grading, the vfx, the costume design, the set design,..

This is answering none of my questions.

Where can I watch this film looks good

Everyone's full of it. It's not about what you use.It's about how you use it.

did you spell Audio wrong ?

Great video
