Images are firewire downloads from Digital Sony DSR570 Camera. No electronic manipulation added. Visual content achieved without help of Waveform and/or Video Monitor.   Adjustments to Digital C amera were in Master Gamma and Detail Level.  After determination of ASA equivalent for digital camera, scenes are lit to preconcived F-stop with motion picture light meter Spectra Professional.  Highligths are kept in check the Old Fashion Way.... Lighting.
It appears, obtaining the so called "Film Look", entails getting ones' hands, mind and soul immersed in Light. Two detrimental factors to observe are Light Quality and Lighting Style. Seeing in one's mind constitues Film Lighting  and - I believe - first step in trying to achieve an illusive "Film Look" in Video. It can hardly happen with Camera Menu and/or camera screwdriver alone. Some things never change.... It is about Lighting.
