Grading three cameras that were never meant to match
Notes from Made Slow on matching a phone, a mirrorless and a cinema camera into one warm workshop look.
Pike & Plane filmed their own month in the shop on three cameras. None of them agreed on what white looked like.
Pick a hero camera
I matched everything to the camera that held the most shots, not the best one. Fewer shots move a long way that way.
Match skin, then wood
Skin first on the vectorscope, then the oak benches, which the owners would notice before anyone else.
Let one thing stay different
The phone shots kept a little more grain. Hiding it completely made them look wrong; keeping some made them look like memory.
