My favorite grabs

[Brandon Rice]

Here are some of my favorite grabs from various projects I have worked on...

Hope you like them

doesn't look like 24p... you guys shoot 60i?

 

[Brandon Rice]

No it's all shot in 24P...

Are you intentionally pushing for grain?

 

[Cody_Jordan]

yea the amount of grain throws me off... also, the grab of the guy with the gun would have looked a little better without an overexposed doorway. (My eyes draw directly to it) Also the perspective looks skewed on the shot of the guy holding his cellphone. He looks 20 pounds wider than he should be... am i wrong? (all constructive criticism intended to improve your skill)

 

[Brandon Rice]

Some of these shots I intentionally made look more grainy ie. the first grab. Odd about the guy holding the phone. That was taken directly from Avid in the correct aspect ratio.

Not my cup of tea. They look a bit bland. Sorry mate!
Keep trying though!

What filter did you throw on that first one to add that grain? Looks awesome.

 

[Brandon Rice]

I just added some gain and increased the contrast in Avid... obviously I also de-saturated the color to make it B&W...

Yeah they do look a bit flat. Did you guys just use natural light? CC would also help a bit.

The third and fourth images look as if you used a lower color temperature light source as the light spilling in from outside is very blue in relationship to your key. In the future, you might want to add some half or full CTB to your sources to better match the day light. Also, a large butterfly frame with a scrim might help to keep the exteriors from blowing out as much. The last image needed a kicker to help separate the talent's shoulder from the black sofa in the background.
