How do I achieve this look with the hvx in post?

[PIMP]

hello

i ve been trying to achieve this high contrast 21 grams looks for a while now. And I havent gotten close. I ve talked to the dp of this film "Illegal" And he said they didnt do much color correcting in post. He said it was pretty simple. I realize they used a redrock. I use a brevis but i cant get any close to this texture on these clips. Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks

I'd say most of that is done with lighting. There is no "magic filter" for things you may want.

looks like HMI's were used. U would need at least a solid 1 ton grip/lighting truck with at least an HMI or Joker

Have you tried Magic Bullet Looks? I thought it has some pre-sets for looks that are somewhat close to this look.

M2 35mm adapter with magic bullet.

can you explain the logic of this response?
Kind of amusing actually.

things you can use are a bleach filter, desaturate and raise the contrast and use curves to get that look. Nattress plug in, magic bullet or apples color programs all have a way to do this.

Here is a thread for a film that got that look with an HVX. EDIT: I see you spoke to the DP so there you go. http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=71299&highlight=illegal

An HMI is simply a light that is daylight balanced. That very well could have been a Tungsten light gelled with CTB. Either way, the light used doesn't make a difference. It is the lighting itself.
