"
S-Log came through
"
brilliantly.
— Charles Papert, DP ,
"Key and Peele"

"We just wrapped Season 1 for the new Comedy Central
sketch series 'Key and Peele.' The sketches are essentially
mini-movies, each with a unique look and as much
production value as we can give them. From my first
conversation with the director it was apparent that we
needed a camera with an S35 sized sensor and filmic quality.
But the budget dictated that we move fast, always on
location and with a limited crew for a network series. I was
able to keep the lighting package modest for interiors and
night exteriors, thanks to the incredible sensitivity and low
noise of the F3.
"I also had to tackle a variety of day exteriors without the luxury
of picking the perfect time of day or implementing serious grip
artillery, so we absolutely had to capture maximum dynamic
range. S-Log encoding came through brilliantly. We were
able to tame the savage contrast, push and pull the footage
extensively in post to create a multitude of looks and the
resulting images were beautiful (if I may say so)!
"I received many compliments from the executive producers
and the network on the visual quality of the show, especially
given the humble circumstances. I consider the F3 to have
been a major ally."
