just a couple grabs

[slinks]

hey all first time posting any grabs or footage.

so here are a couple of my dvx grabs of a shoot i did yesterday for a music video im doing for a friend.

I will still have to have 2 or 3 more days of shoots for this vid.

I am showing 2 gabs with the original and black diffusion

original

black diffused because i didn't like mhow her makeup came out.(it didn't show on the viewfinder)

original

black diffused

for the second grab I may just stick with the original and I will AE out that stupid heat lamp in the background.

If you were wondering about the one with black background, I just used some duvetyne for background on my garage wall and lit it using matt's homemade flouro lights and a ring light I threw together(not complete yet).

thanks for viewing

hmmm do tiff files not work?

 

[slinks]

changed the grabs to bmp and now they work...i guess tiffs cant be viewed on the web ?

no feedback yet, are they boring? well, it is for a slow song and the one with the black background will have some added effects later.

i actually like the 3 grab as original. cute girl!

 

[slinks]

yea I was thinking the same thing. Yea and she can sing too.

CC them..

 

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

I would recommend doing some curve adjustments and watch your exposure. They look good though!

 

[Lawsuit_Boy]

CC them..

Oh come on, coffee! You've just gotta look harder, that's all! lol

It's a very subtle change (unoticable if he hadn't told me first) but you can see it in her gown and hair.

Yeah, the first 2 defenitely look overexposed. The ones where she's on the ground though are perfect. Very nice lighting effect.

How do you simulate black and white diffusion with AE? At this point all I've got is crappy Magic Bullet for Premiere. :badputer:

thanks for the feedback everyone. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to exposure and CC. I actually just added only black diffusion with MB(that came with my dvx and Barry's book) on premiere. I still need to toy around with the cc more. I may reshoot some of the black background ones. I really did overexpose them too much. It doesn't look as bad when looking into the viewfinder. blah...I need a laptop.

overexposed..... but she makes up for it...

well for the second grab i was going for the overexposed bright look but i didn't want to overexpose the 1st one. blaarrghh
