Slicing up a short clip that i did today to test out a cCC-treatment i had in mind. here are some grabs thus far. I had nothing to shoot but my puppy, Zoey. She made for a very good model :)

I think they look very good. The black's are very black, the colors are bright, and the images are clear. :thumbsup:
 
Really like the look. What were your SF(Scene File) settings and what are u CCin on?

Your dog is cute, i have a huskey to let you know and yes, my dog has been a good model as well, likes to like the camera lens hood sometimes but ha, Dogs will be dogs:Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)
 
PAPA, no adapter just the DVX zoomed in,
ill get the clip uploaded to somewhere beside Youtube see if u like it in motion.

Settings: F6 Cinelike, Fine, 1/120, Iris Open
 
ow i also shot at 4pm-5pm. I love the light at that time. easy to color correct in any style.. dark or light!
 
EDIT just added the original grabs next to the cc'd grabs.

UncleBenj: the process is always a little different each time. depends on what my subject-matter is and the 'theme' i wish to achieve. But generally I like to shoot from 3-5pm when time and client allows me too. It give a very neutral light for me to handle in post. now although the footage looks dulled out and blueish. i find that the blue is alot easier to deal with than yellow. and there is still plenty of colour-information stored in the camera that u can bring out in CC. I do my CC in Prem Pro 1.5 at the moment. I dont use Photoshop because the process changes when u get into motion and colours.
In prem. I colour correct by going thru my:
RGB idividually to play with their levels and blends.
Saturations
Gamma
Contrast
(Brightness) very dodgy to increase.. i stay away from this
White
Black
.... this is my general process. But for me RGB is the most important to learn. The colour wheel is great to understand how the colours blend and force each one another to rise above the other. This way u can pick which colours are more important to you.
This is just off-hand general advice im giving, coz i'm at work now when i get back to my comp i will check the working file for this particular experiment.

hope this is helpful? um...

Good job fella, nice dark blacks and bright whites. did you do that by using an s-curve on levels or just did you just play around till it looked right? your originals are very blue, white balance set for indoor?
 
Very helpful. Everyone seems to have their own process. My quick CC is just hitting contrast between 20-30 on premiere. also on 1.5. So you purposely shoot blue video? That would scare the dook out of me. But I'm very interested in seeing what that can do. Do you white balance on something or do you change the color information in camera? I'm at work too. Perhaps we can talk more in depth later. Thanks!
 
yes, mine too! but the blue did let me really get a nice snow-White, and by increasing the Green-grain. I got a wonderful green for the footage.
 
sure, if i got time and maybe others want a process? then i'll see if i could post it. if no-one else wants it, we can chat privately!
 
I want it. It looks like your CC made you get higher resolution, especially on the close-up on the dog's ear.
