 Project Mango is a science-fiction short film on which the Blender Foundation is working, and one of the first Sony F65 cameras in Europe is in use. As usual, the team wants to involve the community strongly in the production and is giving users selected still-frame material to inspect and test.

There are a total of 5 frames with a total volume of 250 MB and 4K RAW resolution. According to Ian Hubert, every user is warmly invited, figuratively speaking, to go wild with visual settings (LUTs, gradings).

The images in our gallery are posted in compressed form, and the original data for testing is available for download through the following link: Download

Anyone more closely interested in the production should know that there will be a detailed report on Project Mango in the next DP issues.
