cinegrain, rgrain pr gorillagrain?

[ReelFilmGeek]

I bought a cheap $30 16mm pack of Rgrain just to have something to start out with. I dont need it for any big projects and its good for what I want to do cant complain for hte price.

Another nod to rgrain over here... I purchased their 70 package which included all the 35mm and 16mm grain plates. Definitely satisfied!

So I got the $30 rgrain 16mm package and here's the result if anyone is thinking of going that route. Just a quick test

Looks better on the timeline though.
tech specs:
7d
16mm coarse grain set to 60% opacity. Contrast bumped up a bit. (it doesn't mess with the exposure)

Another quick clip. 2 shots from a short I did. added rgrain 16mm coarse grain. Opacity 60% upped contrast.Vimeo doesn't do it justice but its better than youtube.

I'm liking rgrain and for $30 you can't really go wrong. As for gorilla grain...its crap.

My how the times have changed!

I can remember when we were trying to remove grain from the film we shot.

Absolutely crazy isn't it. Some people are just never satisfied.

Well its not for everything. So its a good thing to be able to have the option. Neat video to remove grain/artefacts and Cinegrain (or the like) to add grain. Just another tool which depends on the project.

Got this $20 off coupon for the Rgrain complete package, I don't know how long it's valid for but that makes it $79 instead of 99. COupon: 6J241879

Another option is HolyGrain. You can get the Ultimate Grain pack for only 49$(current offer). It contains film grain from 35mm, 16mm, 8mm stocks and over 20 minutes of film dirt. 35mm grain plates are also available in 2K resolution.

Experiment with a free 35mm grain plate here: http://holygrain.com/downloads.html

FilmConvert which is what I use. The grain tool takes in to account the light and dark areas of your footage. Plus the color matching is the best I've come across so far in emulating film stocks.

Vegasaur.com have released Film Grain 35mm, real grain from film stocks at an affordable price.

I use Gorilla grain and have had great results for the price. I use it on on every wedding video I shoot and throughout our first feature film. I have heard nothing but great things about cinegrain, but it was just out of our budget at the time.

This video was shot with Rgrain and I really liked the result FJ was able to achieve using it.

 

[FilmConvert]

FilmConvert which is what I use. The grain tool takes in to account the light and dark areas of your footage. Plus the color matching is the best I've come across so far in emulating film stocks.

I'd like to note that FilmConvert uses 6K scans, as well as calculating how much grain to use based on the hue, sat, and lightness of the various areas of your image.
