I love your natural grade. Would you mind sharing the process ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'll have to remake it for screen grabs, but it's all in Premiere with Lumetri, just noodling sliders. I don't like overly stylised footage, just try to make it look a bit thicker than real life, if that makes sense? I don't know if it's good practice or not, but in the curves, I also like to cut off the highs and lows, but then adjust exactly where and how it cuts off depending on the clip. It does make the blacks more dark grey though, so be careful. (this is a really quick example, probably too extreme for actually using his curve) kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make the blacks more dark grey though, so be careful. Interesting technique, and it goes to show that curves can be tremendously powerful. Therefore, I officially announce the... Curves-only Grading Challenge! It's totally optional, of course, but it's a fun challenge, and learning the fundamentals can be very helpful. Rules: You can only use curves to adjust the image The only exception is that you can use a Colour Space Transform plugin to change colour space and gamma You have unlimited nodes, and combined with keys, layer modes, etc you can do many different things I'll definitely be trying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaconda_ Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Sounds fun - here's mine, I only used the RGB curves in Lumetri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thephoenix Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 what gamma do you calibrate your monitors ? have the benq pv270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kye Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 For my curves-only attempts, I'm limiting myself to the Lum-vs-Lum curve, so no fancy Hue-vs-Hue or anything like that. Curves-only challenge #1, a softer more film-like grade: Curves-only challenge #2 - a more contrasty grade: Normal grading #1: That was quite an interesting one to grade.. very contrasty and that clipped red channel was tricky to recover in a natural way. Plus the strong red light made the denim jacket an awful colour if you tried to WB it 'correctly'.. the jacket on my first attempt looks ok to me, the second looks awful, although I managed to balance the green-magenta ok using the curves, and the last one is more just embracing the fact it's stage lighting and not meant to be compensated for.

kye Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 and just for fun, here's one where I partially desaturate the image, then tint it back to being red: It evens out the colours a bit, and "de-muds" the shadows nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoCH Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I am color grading my last short film. What do you think of this pictures ? If you want to try something.you can get a trim copy (a few secondes) of original F-Log with this link : https://we.tl/t-LofgsAXmnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 @BrunoCH looks pretty good to me! Why is the boom operator in your short? Maybe @IronFilm can be a movie star after all!! BrunoCH and heart0less 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart0less Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Yup, these are fantastic. Blacks are black and neutral (just the way I like it), but there is still a lot of detail in the shadows. Skin tones look superb. Since you are already grading it, I assume you finished cutting it? When do you plan on releasing it? Can we count on some shooting and editing first-hand experience?

BrunoCH Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 @kye Thanks for the comment. It’s a father daughter story. The man is a filmmaker kind of no crew no money, nothing. @heart0less Thanks for the comment. Editing is finish. Color grading will be ok in a week, I think. But I need time for sound and music. I almost understand english but I can’t easily write and speak. It's too long and hard to share what I do. kye and heart0less 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Language isn't the barrier it used to be and shouldn't get in the way of talking about what matters. BrunoCH and heart0less 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
