DRI - a film by Michael Anthony Horrigan

[Rodney V. Smith]

Thanks, guys. For low light the HV20 holds up fairly well. It's no GH1 but it's all I have. I would love to play with the GH1.:2vrolijk_08:

I need to find someone who is really good with curves and grading. I think a lot more 'umph!' could be drawn out of these images in the right hands. Any takers?

MAH

I'd like to give it a shot.

And you have mail... :beer:

 

[Herman Witkam]

The grabs are looking great :beer:

 

[John LaBonney]

Grabs look good Mike. Good luck with this one.

 

[Marlon Ladd]

Yeah, for natural light and that little lamp, that looks really good. That HV20 is still doin' its thing.

Thanks! I'll let you know if I go through with this one. :thumbup:

Thanks! Sorry to see that you're out this time around.

Yup. The fish tank actually cast quite a bit of light as well. The exposure was tricky to figure out, still not sure if I nailed it. I really need an external monitor.

Is that the same musical box from a previous short? I forget the title...the one with the jealous boyfriend.

Nope. That one had a material skirt and no jewelry drawers.

If I go through with this movie it won't be about the music box though. Although it will obviously appear in a scene. :beer:

Really like those grabs, Mike. I love the soft, warm, and grainy quality.

Thanks.

I wanted to keep the feel of a kids room and keep the colour fairly saturated.

Grabs look good MAH, and for the HV20 it self. I never got around to ordering any lenses/adapters for mine. But all looks good, best of luck! And what's this with a GH1? got one? My Lisa film was shot on the Rebel t1i

Thanks. No adapters for mine either.

The GH1 thing was just Rodney teasing me.
Not really...

I would love to try one though. The footage from it looks amazing.
My little HV20 will have to do for now...

Michael is the master of the HV20. He spanks that camera something HARD.

Thanks. No adapters for mine either.

Nice man! Looks good. The HV20 can really turn you upside down and do some good work for you. Although I think I have an older version, saw someone with one yesterday and had more cooler controls than what mine has.

 

[PaPa]

had a crack at one for fun

original on top

used curve adjustment only in all channels. Brought more green into the darks, raised reds in mids, brough blue's up in lows and yellows up in highs. And a small S curve in the RGB

I have an original model myself.
Maybe you saw the HV30?

Thanks, man.

That exactly what I want! I'm going to try this. If I have a problem I may PM you for a walkthrough. Thanks!

 

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Some new CC comparisons. First pick is the old, second is the new.
Following some of PaPa's hints.
Seems to work well with the brightly lit footage, not so great with the dark stuff. Gets real noisy. Any ideas? I like the new change in the pic below though. Vastly improved.

I think I like PaPa's results better though.

[Rodney V. Smith]

That's the thing I;ve found with Color Correction. If you have excellent source of light in your shot you have so much more latitude in terms of what you can pull off. Colorista loves light and turns the darkly lit scene into a close approximation of mud. Takes a deft touch and patience to get the results you need... consistently.

 

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

I think PaPa nailed it. I just sent him a PM.
Maybe he can walk me through it, or take over and be my Colourist.
