Hey I found this old post and I was wondering something along the same lines. I’m shooting a stage production with two Sony EX1 cameras, switched and recorded on an Apollo monitor/switcher/recorder. Since the recorder has the capability of using ProRes 422 (and even ProRes 444), I was thinking I might be able to capture more dynamic range by using the cameras’ flattest cine profile and then bringing up the color and contrast as needed in post.

So I’m not interested in full-on color grading or anything but I want to know if I’m thinking correctly. Will shooting with a cine profile net me a little more highlight to shadow detail in harsh stage lighting?

Thanks
Geoff
