Badlands - short clip

[PaPa]

Hey all,

Just finished shooting a few scenes for a friend's project.

Basically, this is part of a scene where a cop wakes up, something's up and he's "not in Kansas anymore"

For now there is no sound, and nothing is final. I just wanted to share some work with you guys that I was very happy with, considering the circumstances.

Where'd you get your police gear?

 

[Jean Dantes]

Nice work, PaPa!! Loved the photography of the hallway scene especially!

I was just wondering, what type of compression did you use for your upload (which editing software did you use too)? It looks so sharp and clean!

Keep up the good work!

 

[PaPa]

Hey screen form. I'm just the dp on this project so I'm not sure what places sell those costumes, but I do remember him saying he got them off of ebay.

Thanks Jean,

I follow the compression that is advised with vimeo and premier pro

H.264
1280 x 720
23.976 fps
profile: main
level: 3.1
vbr 1 pass 2.5 target and 3 max.

that's about it really.

I believe it's a form of quicktime

Thanks spenser!

here is a screen cap of my grading. Just a curve adjustment. Tweaked until pleased.

 

[SpenserS]

Thanks a lot. I just get sick of over grading or no grading on footage and it looking like poo poo. Yours seemed very film like from the first clip. I guess its all about what's pleasing to the eye. Thanks again.
