Hi!

I'm currently cutting a music video, but I'm kinda stuck in color correction. I've found a perfect setting for the "band rocking it out"-footage (contrasty, desaturated). But I'd like the narrative stuff to have a different look.

I see that adding blue to the shadow areas looks really nice, but It's kinda cold for my taste. I haven't gotten satisfactory results by using reds in the shadows, so tips on how to warm up the footage would be most helpful.:cheesy:

Thanks in advance! :)

Many people like the blues in the shadows, warm highlights look. My personal preference is to have a small amount of blue in the shadows and warm midtones. MAYBE a SMALL amount of warmth in the highlights. That's just my personal preference, however.

Typically, I like the look of a little blue in the shadows and warmish midtones.

Thanks!
