CC help for zombie movie

Hey everyone, you might have seem that I posted my zombie movie in the grabs section this week. One of the comments I got more than once was that some CC could greatly help the mood, and I agree, but am not really sure how to go about it.

is there anyone that could help by CCing my qt file for CCing some jpegs for me? Hopefully I can then replicate the look in FCP.

THANKS AGAIN! :D

Here are some of what I think are vital stills.

Great scene here. The CC on this makes it look more like film.

I made the grey car blue.

Looks like it was done on film.

Dark and gross.

Looks like it's on film. This one took multiple passes. Grungy.

Multiple passes as well.

Greenish.

Tried to give them that grungy, gross feeling of films like Dawn of the Dead.
Applied a color hue, usually yellow, green, purple, or blue, and boosted contrast but brought down the brightness.

Hope you get what you want. Post results.

Definately caught a good glimpse of a tripod and camera in the very first shot. :)

Anyway, I think the examples above are a good direction to take it in. Try to play around with soft greens and yellows (try not to force it though. The last grab above seems overdone). Just make it a bit more atmospheric.
 
Wow. Now that I actually watched the whole short, I'm seriously impressed! Other than that first shot (which was actually a very cool shot with all of the people that kept appearing, but the reflection!), this was great. :)

Definately try the soft green/yellowish tones. I think it will do great things for this piece.

EDIT: I threw together some examples. I'll have them up shortly.

for some reason, FCP wont open so i havnt tried anything yet. For whatever reason I hadnt even thought about using Magic Bullet (actuallu i probably didnt think about it because it would take 6 or 7 hours to do my 5 min on my computer). As soon as i get FCP running I'll have to try a few variations
