HD Simple Bleach Bypass

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

Just tweaking a simple bleach bypass method I came up with for an upcoming WWII short. A combination of blending modes, brightness/contrast, levels & B+W. Thoughts, comments?

Those mountain shots are beutiful, awsome stills. Post up a clip when you get the chance.

That third to last shot is.... Awesome.

 

[DM_rider]

How did you get such clean stills? did you export from final cut or grab them from quicktime?

 

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

DM, I export BMP from Premiere Pro 2, at 1440, with square pixels then bring them into photoshop and scale them down and resave as .jpeg with maximum quality, progressive...Though, most of it is just having a clean picture to start with.

I will have some footage up within the next few days.

WOW! what do you mean by Bleach Bypass?
Cineframe and the composition looks amazing

 

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

Bleach Bypass is a method which alters film during the development process. For video, plug-ins like Magic Bullet and Film Look Pro offer "Bleach Bypass" effects which desaturate and manipulate the image, but I decided I could get something closer to what I wanted if I just did it myself...So I did. For professional bleach bypass, check out what Janusz Kaminski did on Saving Private Ryan.

ohhh wow! thats amazing, SPR has such amazing cinematography. So if using Magic Bullet its like a preset sort of thing?

This is definitely an example for everyone who says that you can't get a film look from the FX1. Absolutely gorgeous.

 

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

Wow that was some seriously great looking fx1 footage! Was this the fx1 by itself or did you use an 35mm adapters with it?

 

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

Just stock FX1 lens. I am still deciding which adapter I want to buy, and wether or not I want to upgrade to an HVX200.
