Grabs from a shoot last week

These are corrected right on the edge of gamma so you might need to adjust the brightness on your monitor to see them well. Otherwise they're gonna look DARK. :shocked: Shot on a DVX100(original model not A).

Here's a look with the gamma pumped up- might help:

nice stuff. as you said they are really dark though. even with the brightness up. why so dark? (aside from the assumption that thats what you thought the scene called for.. i guess im asking more whay the scene called for such a dim look)
 
nice stuff. how did you correct "on the edge of gamma"? did you consider that when shooting already or decide after? why not going down in exposure when shooting?
 
Looks good. The lighting is very natural.. What kind of scene is this? Romantic? I definitely want to see a trailer or clip.

One thing confuses me though. Your master shot shows me the candles in the background of the actors, but your close ups look as if the actors switched sides.

The candle in the background of the woman's closeup confused me since there's a couch in the foreground of the master shot. Same with the guy and the window on his left side. Was that intentional or a mistake?

It may be a matter of simply flipping your master shot to match the closeups, or do the reverse and flip the closeups and leave the master shot as is.
 
"Corrected on the edge of gamma" meaning they were brought up to just above "too dark" on my monitor. So they look great here but dark on other monitors- especially if you're looking on them on a PC as these were corrected in Photoshop on a Mac(which has a brighter gamma built in.) If you all want to come over and check these out on my monitor you're welcome. :)
 
Isacc-

I was wondering if people would notice that. These shots are all from different parts in the scene, about 10 different angles altogether. I figured folks would probably get bored seeing every last shot. :)
 
Noah....So it looks fine on *Your* monitor? It's a little dark on mine. Will it be very DARK when the final film is cut and screened on a regular TV? ~reservoir~
 
Ha, now it looks too light. I'm on a pc and I liked the pics being a little dark, but maybe that's cause I'm morbid. :evil:
 
Haw- now you know why every sitcom on TV looks day-glo crappy bright. Producers want to see everything. :cheesy:
 
These look really nice Noah.

Coorect me if I am wrong; the MAC is closer to an NTSC Monitor (A television for example)? This is why they appear dark on my PC (Which is definatley calibrated). Is that what is going on?
 
corrected in photoshop? what will you do with the film then? make an action in photoshop? a bit overkill for adjusting the gamma ;-)

my question was: did you shoot with that in mind? or the other way: why didn´t you bring the gamma to this level when filming? since the whole scene is lit so nicely. it was apparently fully planned to adjust after. do you try to avoid grain or such?
I am just curious if there is a little trick....
 
Nope haven't even started editing. Just wanted to correct in Photoshop for these stills rather than spend time correcting dailies in FCP. Looked sweet on the NTSC monitor right out of the camera as we shot though.
