Film Look: Technicolor CineStyle v.s. Marvels Cine
In this video The DSLR Film Noob compares Marvels’ Cine Picture and Canon & Technicolor’s CineStyle color correction using DSLR footage.
You can download the latest version of Marvels Cine picture style here.
And the Canon Technicolor CineStyle here.
One of the most popular methods for color correction with DSLR footage is to shoot with a flat picture style. This usually gives you more latitude when trying to grade footage in post.
One of the most popular Flat pictures styles, and one that I often recommend is Marvels Cine Picture style currently on version 3.4. Canon in conjunction with Technicolor have finally released there own Flat picture style. Both are designed to make color correction in post easier when working with DSLR footage.
I’ve been using the Marvels Cine picture style for quit some time and it was interesting to test it against Canon’s picture style. After color correcting some test shots, it seems like Both Marvel’s 3.4 and Canon’s Cinestyle picture styles are very similar. It did feel like I was able to get a little more color adjustment out of Canon’s CineStyle picture style then Marvel’s 3.4, but the difference was minimal.
The test footage was shot on My Canon 7D using the Canon 35mm f1. 4 at 1/60 ISO 200 and f1.4. Simple color correction was done in Colorista.
I don’t think you’ll go wrong with either of these if you plan to grade your footage in post.

Hey,
Thats a really lovely and neat comparison. I have been playing around with Cinestyle , Marvel 3.3 and also the new happening Cinema picture style. Personally am not a Grading geek but i do know the benifits of it.
Can you guide or point through some very basic and must do steps in color-correction and/or grading ?
Based on what i see above in the video all of them have undergone same amount of grading/color correction, can you let me know what or how its done so that it will help me with learning this thing better.
Btw i use Color shipped with FCS for my editing purpose.
Thanks in advance and thanks a lot for the lovely tutorials and videos.
