Sony F35 - 2000ISO test

Heck, lets shoot Slog, and rate the camera at 2000ISO. We'll get an extra 2stops of DR in the highlights, and a much more filmic tone curve (tons of highlights, less shadows), yeah baby!
Noisy footage? Of course! But Neat video can do magic and now that it can be integrated inside Davinci resolve, it's a super simple process. 

So if the F35 already had a very pleasing highlights rolloff, imagine how good it's going to be now with an extra 2 stops (or 3 if you're crazy) in the highlights. 
I shot these tests on 10bit 422, I see no banding issues of course, but I'm sure 12bit 444 would be the best for this workflow, as most information gets concentrated in the lower part of the histogram.

Shooting Joyride circuit for Pennzoil

Alexa mini. This is the smallest handheld setup we were able to build.

Car mounted shots were shot on the Sony A7r2 for fear of damaging the Alexas at high speed. ;D

For obvious reasons most of the film was shot from the russian arm. Away from the cold of the night.
