Music Video Grab - Need help

[ajs473]

Just shot a music video on my HVX. We shot a bunch of stuff through the windshield of a car, and while most of it came out great, there were a few light changes mid-take that left us with some ugly glare on the windshield. See the still below (sorry its squished to 4:3). Is there anything in post that can help me get rid of some of the glare? This was a zero budget video, so all we had to work with was a polarizer and a suction cup to mount.

Why is it so grainy? Was this the 200 or the 200a? did you have the gain on high?

Unfortunately I don't think you can remove glare in post. But I could be wrong.

Looks like the cars vibration caused the pola to shift out of the sweet spot to dial out glare.

There's no plug in that can take away the glare.

probably not the cars vibration. the car's orientation to the sun probably changed requiring an adjustment to the polarizer. it happens. not much you can do about it. the good news is, since it was a zero budget shoot, the reshoot should cost you nothing....

yeah i sort of figured there was nothing i can do about it. if i crush the blacks and bring up the mids a little bit it seems to help a tad....

as for the grain, its an added effect for the style of the video. its also about ten times more apparent in that still because of the squeeze on it...
