OBJECT LESSON - what happens when you shoot TOO stopped down...

Here is a clip from something I shot this summer... I shot day for night, and in the process I stopped the camera down too far... therefore in post I had to brighten it a tad... resulting in some nasty noise in the image... I should have opened the iris up more and then darkened in post... live and learn...

Yep, that's what I did... sorry, I should have mentioned that... the way I upped the brightness of the overall image was to use the curves tool, not the brightness adjustment...
 
Props to you for sharing "bad" footage. Most people (myself included), probably wouldn't share footage where we made mistakes. I massively underexposed (like 3 stops!) some shots and they were nearly impossible to properly match to the rest of the footage, and pretty darn tough just to get them to acceptably cut in.
 
I hear ya about matching footage, sometimes it's tough!

And about sharing the "bad" footage... I hope it helps everyone to NOT do this, as hopefully I won't next time either.
