I know I’m saying this to one of the GOATs but for the eyebags adjustment you could also switch the composite mode of your node to Luminosity to only affect the luminance (and not have to rebalance after)! 👍🏾
I absolutely LOVE the result in terms of light quality on her face. But how in the hell am I going to reproduce three panels like that on a hobbyist level? One could argue that it's not a video for hobbyists, and that's fair enough. Still, I am somewhat rankled!
@@al201103 An Amaran F22 with the lantern attachment or create a DIY attachment like his would create a similar look. I think his contraption is still bigger.
The light quality is nice enough, but the framing is a television shot. A soap opera or sit com, at best. None of the masters shoot close up's like that. Maybe Sergio Leone. But very few others. Can you imagine Billy Wilder, William Wyler or Akira Kurosawa framing that close?
well it depends on what kind of coverage you're going for, if the shot is too wide for the Light to be present up close (ig it would show up in the frame) you might not be able to do so, you'd have to back up the light too far which would make it harsh and would not result in the same characteristics as the close up. In that case you'd probably resort to adding a big Diffusion Frame (at least 12 x 12) and pump up the Output to better match the softness of the Close up
Oh man! This guy is the one i am looking for after spending time on many youtube pros! Very excited for the new series! Thanks youtube for suggesting this channel!❤
I think he means using keyframes to have the grade cha'ge during the shot, for exemple if someone is coming in our out of a building you might need to adjust your exposure to compensate during the shot
Fascinating hearing someone discuss this stuff, something that I could do for a living, and just hearing that even more advanced wealth of knowledge just making me feel out of my element relative to him
Parallel nodes take the base from the previous node only and apply the changes. For example a Vignette and a mask in parallel, would always use the same node before them. If you do serial nodes, they apply one after the other. Serial nodes make it harder to control specific parts of the image because each serial node uses the one before it to start creating a new mask. So what you saw initially, by the time you get to your 3rd mask correction, may be completely different and harder to control. Best way to learn this is trying it. This node structure is golden. Wish I knew this a few years back.
