I tried to pull temperatures to a more normalized tone and build up an intensity to the racing clips, especially inside the cockpit.

Patience in the cold: I shot this in Timelapse mode on my original BMPCC in raw .dng. Luckily I was able to pull some of the highlights back as the morning got a lot brighter than I expected and I didn’t want to disturb the camera to ramp down my exposure till I was finished. I layered in a few other adjustments to make the transition from start to finish flow better. Love tackling challenges like this where our eyes make the needed adjustments so perfectly without our notice but motion picture only has this narrow window to work optimally within so we have to modify and adjust without the audience’s notice. I shot some Super8 film recently that I’ll be sharing and it’s just as important to work within that window with film as it is with digital, though the bias there leans toward this sort of over exposure. I’m excited to see what a high bitrate scan of motion picture film can do in DaVinci Resolve. Film making is magic. I love it.
