jagnje Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 So... The other day I was at a sound tech, where he was mixing one of our songs. He stacked my guitar track one on top of the other, and made a minor offset on one, to get a deeper richer sound. It got me thinking...would something like that be usable/benefitial on video as well?

agolex Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That's called 3D then. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I think 3d takes a bit more work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my humble opinion doing that it is not the best way to get a deeper sound: most of the time you have phase cancellations that give you less bass frequencies when you listen it in mono. If adding another track - in order to have a real "double" - it is impossible, I would prefer to reamp it or to eq in some ways.

jagnje Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I`m no expert either most of the tracks I did double with a different amp, but this was a solo...I never play them the same twice :D Anyway, back to image. We know, that some movies with the most breathtaking images also used some very mediocre cameras, but the final product looks amazing. I can`t be just a good colorist, there has to be more to it. lets look at this...it is not just a sharpen filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's done in grading software that way. Actually every node in Resolve treats it's successor as if it was a new, original footage, and you can also mix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It is pretty much what the HDR trick with magic lantern was doing.... Laying a low ISO and high ISO frame on top of each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stab Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That's a helluva Unsharp Mask. I'll admit it pops a bit more but it is way to digitally sharpened for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 layering.. grain on footage can help an image - recently I accidentally messed with the exposure of the grain and got a contrast, saturation effect I don't know if I could replicate too easily with just those other controls.. so that might sort of be a thing the Aaton Penelope Delta camera had a trick where it shifted the sensor one pixel diagonally every frame, so the final image would appear higher resolution. not sure it really did that effectively. don't know if that's something that can be done in post. that's also more to do with the "offset" in the topic than the "overlay" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 thats exactly what I had in mind. offseting two layers of the same image. In theory it should double the pixels, but not in a "shapnen" effect, just add pixels to the image. I was playing around in davinci the other day, stacking two of the same tracks at 50% opacity and offset by a pixel. Didn`t export it or do comparisons. I don`t know... I see guys in post that make a shitty image look great and "meaty" but it`s probaly a long proces and something one would really share.
