awesome content as always bobby ! I'm trying to create my own luts but idk why when it looks good on one clip, for some others it will look completely off. I'm really trying to undertstand how to make a grade that fits every clip, like yours, no matter the colors in the scene. Do you have some tips? (Btw i'm filming s-log2, and since I have the sony A7III it's 8 bits, so I guess that makes the process harder. And honestly i've seen so many good grades with 8 bits footage I think I am the problem lol)
The most important thing is to color correct your footage first. So you need each clip to be properly exposed with the right white balance, and then you make the lut based off that. If the exposure or white balance varies between clips then the LUT will affect each clip differently
Thank you for catching that error. In all honesty I haven't used Premier pro in a while so I forgot to follow my own tips! You are right, the rec 709 conversion lut should be on the top layer. I will leave a annotation to correct that in the video
You need to not shoot at 5.6 and use a ND filter to get separation from the players and background. This isn't an option. You have to work hard not to have more background blur in full frame cameras. To much destruction with your content. I understand you are manual focus and need help focusing at 2.8.
Im not exactly sure what this is in reference to, this video is purely about color grading. But yes the lower the aperture the more separation from the background, however for me I like to shoot at around f4 and the compression from my 70-200mm gives me the separation from the background i am looking for. This is how I personally like to shoot but if you are able to manual focus at 2.8 that is great. I am constantly trying to get better! And Im not sure what you mean by to much destruction with my content
