"The Music Box" - a Michael Anthony Horrigan Film

Alright guys... please critique the Cc. If anyone wants to try their hand at adjusting it... please do. Just share your technique. :)

I think I almost have it where I want it though.

Cheers,

Mike
 
I like what you did in both of those grabs. Especially the color one. You really enhanced that one! The B&W looks good but it really depends on what that scene is... I feel that it has a nice "porcelain" quality to it. But I am a huge fan of grainy, gritty B&W. Your version does have appeal, though.

Nice work! (But what do I know??? I am not a CC guy. Haven't really learned that yet.) :)
 
Thanks, Ted. I suck at Cc work but I'm slowly learning as I go.

I've got the cut well under six minutes now that I have hacked out a major scene. I just need to shoot about 20 more seconds of footage to help with a few transition shots and I should be good.

There will definitely be a longer Director's Cut running at around just under 8 minutes.

Cheers,

Mike
 
Hey Kyser. Good luck w/ the CC. It's the most fun, yet time consuming part of post. I'm sure you'll find a look you love. Looking forward to it.
 
I think you could play with the curves more but then again I'm in the 'crush the blacks' crowd (there's no good way to say that, is there?).

The b+w shot looks great.

This is a bit leftfield, but if the music box is magical or something, you could add a slight glow to the ballerina then in the revers shot you have pictured you could add a soft reflective lighting on her (Digitaljuice.com has a good tut on this).

I see you're all official with your name now too, Mike :happy:. I'll follow suit at some stage.

Keep moving!

I like what you have, Mike, but it depends on what kind of mood and look you're going for. That scene looks a little dramatic with the guy and girl. The CC looks fine, but you might add some contrast - something to darken the dark colors a bit and bring out the whites a bit - thatz the only thing I can think of.

The B&W looks fine.
 
Thanks, guys!

I've since worked on the Cc a little more, it's a little more contrasty now. :D

I'll post some grabs for comparison tomorrow.

I've worked on a new edit and have it down to 5 minutes. I still don't think I can fit that other scene back in though. Still, it's flowing much better now.

Cheers,

Mike
