"Skater in the dark" dvx/sgpro rev.2

[Smettli]

Hello guys.
I wanted to test to gain up some dark dvx/sgpro footage with magic bullet looks,
so I dug up some fotoage of a skater in a garage.

That looked nice!
The grain looked really good

I did see some chromatic aberration in there (around his pants at some point).. Why is that actually?

 

[Smettli]

It might look like CA, and I think it's because the footage was gained a lot. The combination of that and the somewhat extreme color correction
pluss that he goes in and out of different light temperatures(daylight and tungsten with blue gel) is the reason I believe.
Especially in the last shot where I added a more purple tint to it. The raw footage shows no sign of CA, that is of what I can see in the dark

-cheers!

Here are some before and after CC grabs:

i love the way this looks.
how did you do the slowmo?
great job man

 

[Smettli]

Thanks mate!
For slow motion I use the technic found on this page: http://rarevision.com/v1/articles/slow_motion.php (under the title: "So how do I do this, man?!")
The only difference is that I'm in PAL land so I shoot at 50i with 1/120 shutter. And I deal with 25 frames per second instead of 24.

-cheers!
