Corrections: - at 16:34 - This isn't 'reality / a REC709 look, but instead it's the Arri LogC to a 2383 Film Conversion. So a slightly stylised look already. Sorry for the confusion. Grading while talking ain't as easy as I thought... - I skipped the whole Noise Reduction / Grain / Halation parts as they really don't show after RU-vid compression and you'd be wasting your time trying to spot the difference here on RU-vid.
Thanks for watching! Indeed, the OM-1 would definitely have a similar process and workflow. I’d be using an external recorder to get the most out of the sensor and record in ProResRAW. With my URSA it’s an all-in-one package where not too many external things need to be added + it is made for this kind of work, meaning it has better video image quality.
Very taken with the look you created and yr process. One thing I'm wondering about: on my monitor a large portion of the actor's lower back in the bath looks gray -to an extreme. What's that about?
Thanks for the kind words. I'm not sure what you mean by the 'grey area'... for me it all looks as intended (evenly dark and contrasty everywhere). Can you be more specific, maybe a time-stamp of where it happens for you?
superb. When you said you didn't like the sink, I thought, "He's just being a perfectionist. Sink is fine." And then you adjusted it, and I was like, "Oh, ok, much much better." I love how you emphasized the actor. It was very creative, and I like that.
Thanks for watching. Glad you found it interesting and useful. Usually ‘compressing’ the colours to a more simple and less colourful palette tends to make the image easier to look at and, for lack of a better word: more ‘cinematic’. Hence the reason to bring the colour of the sink area closer to the rest of the blues/teals.
The 500T is a negative film stock emulation of Kodak 5219 500T, then taking the 2393 Print Film Emulation LUT to complete the look. I highly recommend checking out Juan Melara's posts and videos on the subject, as he has a far more profound understanding of it all and does a MUCH better job at explaining it in his work.
