What picture style do you use for filming?

Just wondering what you guys prefer for picture style when shooting skiiing? do you shoot flat and do a lot of color correction or just shoot a style and let it like that?

 
The settings I use on my fs100 produce a shot for me that can be edited if i want but can also work well straight out of my camera with very simple corrections. I think shooting flat and doing tons of correcting/grading to an h264/avchd file is silly.
 
I agree. I've shot technicolor cinestyle for a while in my 5d, but with h264 files I never seem to get the image back to what I want it; besides that it's really just a ton of extra work. On the other hand, I always shoot flat with ML raw, and the IQ is stellar, but I don't usually shoot RAW while skiing.
 
simple and clean, yeah i prefer that too, and it works really great for you! some of your video like daydream are in my favorite, props
 
stept dont do a LOT of color editing, correct me if im wrong, but i think they just shoot flat and dont do too much after that, their settings are on point when they shoot
 
in the past, they've left their shots pretty flat overall, just basic levels correction you can tell because their colors are "flat" looking. recently it looks like theyve been doing something different though
 
I shoot flat and then ruin it with 500 layers of color correction usually resulting in something resembling a messy Stroganoff
 
Cinestyle on my 5D. Basically just makes dark less dark and light less white = higher dynamic range. The aim in post is to keep this dynamic range so true, tons of color grading will be useless.
