Re: Grabs From War
good points on the foliage and locale.
the red is more apparent on the first half of the shots, and less on the latter. however, i don't think it's bad (viewing on a Macintosh Powerbook LCD screen)
but i can see that you may be looking for that apocolyptic gray feel. desaturate overall, add some contrast, and maybe try some magicbullet.

Also in one of the grabs you can see the leg of someone wearing jeans and sandals... and socks. How dare he commit such a faux pas? I guess if you were willing, it'd be easy to crop out.

Re: Grabs From War
Looks fun(though it may be a serious gripping war drama), am looking forward to seeing the movie(please post it!!!).
Does the guy get fragged or did the damn vc take him out while he's taking a piss(bastards!)
As for color correction or changing the "look"... mostly all the magic bullet presets will drop the look of the image 2 stops ie make it dark. But you can play with the prests to try and manipulate it to work for you. For Bleach Bypass, under Post, merely playing with the post contrast which is set at I think 70. Change it to 65, then 60... and so on, you may find a look you like that isn't too dark.
A simple effect you could play with is Desaturation, which I'm sure Premiere will have. Basically the more you desaturate, the less color exists. Play around with it and you may find a look you like.
Good luck, and look forward to seeing some Platoon like cinema.

Re: Grabs From War
another thing to be honest,those guns look really fake,they resemble grease guns in WWII and your film is 'Nam ,US GI's used M-16"s and M-14's,while the VC uses AK's.also rarely do you see guns painted in camouflage and they never use submachineguns in the jungles of 'Nam,they used assault rifles--much longer . just change the venue/story from 'Nam to something like "a bunch of crazy kids from Iowa got dissillusion by the violence of video games that they decided to mock-up 'Nam and killed their buddy in the process." at least it's real.

Re: Grabs From War
The composition was really nice. The red didn't bother me, hardly noticed it. Although some of the later shots seem really blurry. I won't criticize the white shoes (a soldier with a death wish) or the cameramans sandals, or the location, because you made do with the resources you have available. This isn't Band of Brothers budget material. I respect you for getting out there and shooting it. Looks like you all had fun and you're only going to get better.
There is one more thing; Near the end, the man standing (looks like he's urinating) and then blood squirts out of his mouth. Mental Note: If blood squirts out of your mouth when urinating, I suggest seeing a doctor, penicilin, and be MORE particular with the girls you take home.
Keep up the good work mobiledeli.

Re: Grabs From War
yeah well we did it with what we had, this budget is like 100 dollars for the pants and thats about it. its not easy making a movie on that kinda money when its a war movie... but we thought wed give it a try

Re: Grabs From War
Exactly mobiledeli. We all make do with what we've got. We're not disrespecting your movie. A war flick is VERY difficult with no budget ($100). Once agian, the shots look really nice. You've got talent. Keep it up!
When can we expect to see a trailer? Sometimes video can speak louder than stills. Good luck!
