Last time I tried out S-log I found it incredibly difficult to use, however upon my second go at trying to grade it, I've found myself getting much more of a hang of the proper way to go about the grade and definitely to spend as much time as I can preparing the camera like you would a film camera, as opposed to thinking of LOG like Raw.
The Look up tables that I added also look very sexy and if used appropriately could save some of my shots, although its also good to note that even with standard grading the footage looks just as good.
I've also found that clicking on the Balance Colour button of FCPX creates a much more usable shot to start off with than if I try to balance the colour myself.

S-log Grading 01
I'm gradually building up a string of videos testing out the ability of S-log 2 on the Sony A7s.
Its very hard. I'm supposed to over expose by 2 stops in order to counter the strong noise presence when shooting with S-log, but even with that, and even adding Look Up Tables doesn't seem to make the footage look any nicer.
Sadly its been compressed on Youtube so you can't see the noise as easily, but still the colours are all over the place, its going to take me a while to get my S-log looking the way I want it to.
Coffee Trailer
This is a trailer that I made at the time of making Coffee, inspired by the trailer for the 1980 horror film, The Shining. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9lvRkwNOrM
