Last summer I went back to Italy for almost 4 months. A very dear family friend owns this little winery in Botticino, Northern Italy, so I decided to talk to him and see if was interested in developing a short documentary about his business. He agreed and in August we started filming. The total shoot was about 12 days over the course of three months.<\/p>\n<p>This documentary was shot on the Panasonic GH5S, which is a great camera, but it definitely doesn&#8217;t have that film look.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted the documentary to look like film and also to have a bit of film grain since it talks about the story of the winery which started more than 100 years ago. FilmConvert helped me giving the GH5S a more organic look. I also love what Filmconvert does with the green of the GH5S and any other digital camera, making them less saturated, without turning them into yellow. Overall I was looking for a very organic and filmic, but still contrasty look that could connect the audience with what the winery is all about: tradition, history and very rich in flavor and full body red wine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1035\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/artofwine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/artofwine.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/artofwine-150x63.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.filmconvert.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/artofwine-300x126.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I shot everything in V-Log, 4K 10bit 422 24p and 1080 10 bit 422 60p. For me, the 10-bit 4:2:2 is a must when it comes to color so I gave up the 4K for a more clean and solid 10bit 1080 when shooting at 60p.<\/p>\n<p>After the editing, I started experimenting with different film stocks and I went for the FJ8543VD. Once the stock was applied I started doing my regular color correction with white balance and contrast adjustments, power windows etc.<\/p>\n<p>We also used a Sony A7s II and DJI Phantom 4 Pro for some shots so I had to match three different cameras and even in this case FilmConvert helped a lot. As I mentioned before I used film grain, but at full 100, but 50. Looks great and very natural, definitely my favorite film grain out there.<\/p>\n<p>In order to have enough b-roll to cover the entire piece I had to shoot three full days of harvest, plus the bottling process, b-roll of the town, tons of b-roll of the grapes (of course before the harvest) and much more. As I said, the total shoot days were 12, I had a second camera for at least 4\/5 days to help me out and a drone operator for two full days. Post-production also took some time since I had to go through the entire interview, edit, grade and do some sound design. What I wanna say is that you don&#8217;t need a big crew or a lot of money to make something interesting or to tell the story you wanna tell. It only takes a lot of hard work and a couple of people you trust! Go out there and start shooting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matteo Bertoli is an Italian cinematographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles.
