Student Projects Outcome• Didn’t import RAW files but converted to .tiff
16, .tiff, .tga or .jpeg• Didn’t utilize the colour gamut & wrong colour
space• Image artifacts: pixelation and posterized
effects

Corpse Bride, Tim Burton (2005)• Canon EOS-1D Mark II• 2K conform to film output through DI process• Import RAWs into a proprietary software, then
output to Cineon log space (in order to bake the Eastman EXR 100T 5248 film stock look)*Cineon digital film system refers to the film scanning and recording h/w designed by Kodak and they introduced Cineon (.cin) file format in 1997
• Transforms to 2K DPX sequence* DPX stands for Digital Picture Exchange, a file format designed to preserve film negative data while obtained from digital film scanner.

Preliminary Test
• Shoot photos with Canon EOS 1000D & Nikon D70
• Imported the RAWs with:– DCRAW (free RAW converter, C language program)– Canon’s DPP and Nikon’s CaptureNX2– Adobe PS CS4’s CamRAW
• Compared their Colour space profiles using the CIELUV 1976 diagram

Digital Cinematography
• Full digital workflow• Process image data with Imaging Science approach
and output them back to film afterwards• Being well accepted after the movie
Slumdog Millionaire (2008) which own the academy award for Best Cinematography

Our experiments outcome
• Nikon D700 performed better under red lighting conditions
• Canon 5D mark II favored blue colour tone environments
• Different brands of camera exhibited different behaviors on colour visualization
• Animators are advised to carefully select their camera beforehand as well as the conversion method
