      I used EL Zone for the first time this past week on a short film and it was absolutely wonderful and intuitive.  A great way to help maintain consistency throughout a project.  It inspired some creative confidence as well.  I used it along with false color and my light meter.

      I would love it if ARRI and other major manufacturers would implement it directly into their systems – I know Ed Lachman has been trying to get that to happen for a while now, so it just needs to be adopted by more DPs as another useful tool in the kit.

        Curious what everyone here thinks of the EL Zone system that Ed Lachman created a few years ago, seems applicable to this thread!

        I haven’t used it on a project yet, but recently attended an event where Ed explained his reasoning behind creating it and how he personally uses it.  I think it definitely has a place as a useful tool that could/should replace false color.

        Ed is currently trying to get manufacturers like ARRI and Sony to add it directly to their camera systems, seems like a no-brainer to me!
