  1. Cool, Resolve is the most powerful with really serious adjustments. Probably the biggest priority in all this is not breaking the image, so I suggest not trying to use any qualifiers or even any of the Hue Vs curves. Beyond just normal grading by adjusting WB/contrast/sat couple of tricks come to mind: If you increase the saturation and then shift the WB warmer then you can keep the blues roughly where they are but make the neutral and warmer areas much more warm, which will give your skin tones a bit more separation. Use the 3x3 matrix and adjust your WB by adding some of your blue channel (which you have a lot of!) into the Red channel (and a little into the Green too). By putting more of these in you'll push the image warmer, and by adjusting the ratio of red to green you can control where the skin tones end up (which is the most important thing). The goal isn't to make neutral skin tones of course, but probably to create some more variation in the colours in the image. You might have to add saturation after this 3x3 as it will lower the overall perceived saturation, and keeping the strong blues will probably look really good. If you run into any more serious issues let me know, this is just scratching the surface of what is possible.

    Lenses

    I have consulted all the internet experts I could find and the overwhelming consensus is that these are aliens that were cloaked and only visible to the camera! Seriously though, those are some rather distinctive internal reflections... I don't think they're quite to my taste, but the glow from the lights is rather nice. That lens is definitely an exceptional piece of glass.

  3. Nice work! Video looked pretty clean to me, and colours etc seemed nicely rendered too, considering the crazily coloured lighting. I didn't get any odd impressions about what was in focus and what wasn't, so that seemed fine too. When you go the promo edit I would suggest adding a bit of sharpening on the slow-mo shots to even them out a bit, but I'm seriously nit-picking there. I don't know what NLE you're editing / colour-grading in but if you want to even out the parts with very blue lighting a bit then I have a bunch of cool tricks I've picked up that I'm happy to share, just ask.

  4. That’s good because I clicked the link to the Sony jobbies and my wallet cleared it’s throat in such a manner, I got the message immediately 😉
