GRIS (GREY), DVX100 short film with chroma keying

Dang. That was amazing for DVX... where was the noise so typical of DVX footage?! They obvously used a 35mm adapter and a professional lighting/sound crew. It is hard to get DVX footage to look that good.
On a different note.... man their accents are funny... those Castellano thetas really make it hard to understand. Haha, the strongest lisps ever.
 
WOW
that was great great great.

how did you desaturate so much of the picture but still have those REDS come out at crucial moments?

PLease tell us how you pulled those keys, with what, and how did you do your CCing?

the colours looked very cinematic.

oh yeah

And by far the best acting ive seen on a dvx film yet.
 
The noise disappeared in the compression, but we didn't have much problems in that field because we used quite a lot of light.

We did not use any 35mm adapter, we just tried to keep the iris as open es possible and to use tele in the close ups.

All the characters are played by spanish proffesional actors.

And about the accents: well, that's how the language sounds in the land where it was created.
The color correction was done in premiere (it was 2003) but I don't remember doing much more than lowering the saturation and playing a bit with the levels.

We payed a lot of attention to the keys and ended up using ultimatte. Worked pretty well, but it is worth mentioning that it was a well lit chroma from the start.

I wasn't insulting the accents, and I know that Spanish originates from the Castil (sp?) region of Spain. It just sounds funny to me because I'm used to Salvadoran/Mexican Spanish.
 
that was great, and i just saw pollo! also. Despite knowing what pollo means i had no idea what i was getting into with that one. Couldn't take my eyes off, i was arguing with the short, no, he's not gonna, no he can't... haha good work.

the link to his movie pollo!
 
I think it was very cool! Man, I loved how you first think his friend is having an affair with her, and only then you understand how it all fits...

What I had trouble with was the whole scene where he kills the woman on the street. The scene feels misplaced from the whole story, and it's so weird than the friend sees the dead woman, and doesn't react accordingly. Instead he reveals it's been over a year.

Other than that, It's beautiful. The effect really fits well into the narrative and serves a purpose, and the directing and acting is top notch. F*king Awesome! Congrats!
