As promised in an earlier post, here are a few exported frames from the feature film KERBEROS (http://www.kerberosbites.com/). 5 are processed with color grading and the post processing I do to help achieve my final look.

The other 7 are directly from our shoot. As stated earlier, we are shooting on the stock lens. You'll also notice the lack of pure blacks in our filming. This was deliberate to allow flexibility in post.

I also know that these cameras can shoot much sharper footage than these frames exhibit, but... these are my take on creating a final look for our film.

A side note; after doing extensive post on my first feature BLOOD TIES (http://www.bloodtiesmovie.com/), including a massive amount of CG guns and fx, I am thrilled at the greater ease of accurately tracking footage on the much higher rez HD. Just something I hadn't thought about till tackling it.

I'll eventually post a bit about creating the fx for KERBEROS. Current example: 20 seconds of gun mayhem created with over 400 layers of fx, filters, plugins, stock footage, dozens of precomposed layer (yep - After FX!), and maybe a 100 animated masks. After all, it now has to look kick ass at HD resolutions.

Hope they are useful...

Thanks - I'll try to grab a few wider shots from same scene today as I am working - maybe even a couple with the fx added...

respects to the 'doing'

Thank you very much!

The guy kicking everbody's ass and obsessed with finding his brother? His name is Kely McClung... oh yeah right - that's me!

I am also the short-haired lead in our new film KERBEROS (http://www.kerberosbites.com/)- still the only guy I can afford who can give and take the beating that comes from making an action film the way we are forced to make 'em.

[URL="http://www.bloodtiesmovie.com/"]BLOOD TIES (http://www.bloodtiesmovie.com/) is not out yet - though we are in talks with both domestic and int'l distributors and hope to have a deal by this year's American Film Market in Nov.

Thanks again - I need to reencode the trailer in a higher rez format so people don't watch the mass of compression artifacts on the YouTube version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS4D5IG4fJU). A bit too fast cutting, camerawork and action for youtube's low level flash compression. I will try to get that done.

And thanks again...
