Any thoughts on a glimmer or similar lens filtration glass for a halation effect? It seems to happen at very high contrast edges, and only on very bright light sources, up where there often isn’t much dynamic range/differentiation between bright and BRIGHT (if that makes sense).

Ive always thought if Tiffen were to do a low power red/pink glimmer glass, that might get awfully close.

You can, but then you wouldn't be able to get the red/orange glow at all.

I though the same thing actually! Hopefully one day they can make it. It'd be a lot easier and look more organic.

Thanks for the tutorial.

No problem!

Great job, I learnt a few cool tricks from this video.

And I've already shared it in another thread - I'm sorry!

@kye managed to post a short analysis of it, too.

 

May I ask how did you come up with this neat halation technique?
I used to rely on Resolve's "Edge Detect" OFX plugin every since I read about it on reddit.

All thanks to you, as well!

 

Hey! The original person who started the thread is Jason Bowdach. Some people posted different ways on achieving halation and I also had my own method that I've been using for some projects. My way was decent, but since the first tutorial I posted, I refined it and was actually going to make a new tutorial until Mattias Tomasi came up with a new way to do halation and Dominik Belancic made the PowerGrade to be used in Resolve. 

I found this method to be far better than my new way of doing it and decided to make the tutorial using this method with everything else I've learned previously. This was my second tutorial video ever, and I wanted it to be quick and simple. I didn't want to drag it out like the last one.

I hope that helps! Here's the original thread on this subject - 

https://liftgammagain.com/forum/index.php?threads/halation-and-gate-weave.13056/

A while back I posted a tutorial on film emulation and recreating halation and grain in a realistic way. I recently came out with a new video that goes over it in a better, more concise way.

I see quite a bit of people asking how to achieve the look of film and it's characteristics so hopefully this video can help them out!

A big thanks to the Lift, Gamma, Gain forums for figuring a lot of this out also feel free to share your results and download the PowerGrades I've provided on my website!

Hello! I recently made a tutorial in covering how to make film halation and grain in Resolve!

I used two methods. One using the GHAlex LUTs for the GH5 and another way using Color Space Transform. 

This is my first ever video tutorial so I apologize if it's a little boring and long.

Here's some examples using this method - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luaGcO-nzd8

If you like this, feel free to download the Power Grades I've provided on my website and experiment with them.

Thanks!

I'd love to see how you graded this. It looks amazing!

Lovely frame grabs. I am going to play around with those effects.

Right on! I wish these were my shots haha but they're just some videos I found on Vimeo that show some good examples of 16mm film and how it works.

very cool, could one of you guys maybe post a screengrab of what youre referring to in the latter half of this thread? im not exactly sure how to visualize it~!

Here's some stills from actual 16mm film. Notice how the trees have an outline when looking into the sky. That's what edge detect does well at replicating.

In Resolve you can kind of cheat and use the Glow plugin, which allows individual control of the spread of red, green and blue, so you can spread the red more than the others and you'll get a red halo.  It's not the same exactly, but is a ton less work

I do that also! I mostly do it for brighter light sources like car lights and streetlights. One thing I notice in film is that there is a very soft outline sometimes on objects. That's what I use edge detect for. Key the brightest parts, and then add edge detect and adjust to taste.

Good old Berlin!!

Nice effect in Resolve. Definitely makes for a less digital look.

Thanks! I've been fine tuning since then and have gotten some nice results. I'm going to be making a tutorial soon about the process.

Oh hey I'm the maker of this original post and I found this thread just now. I'm  little late, but the footage of the church is just some Pocket 4K footage I found and the forest stuff I shot in Banff, Alberta on the GH4.

I'm selling two anamorphic lenses. One Isco Ultra Star and one Sankor 16c.

Isco - $300 Canadian
Sankor - $200 Canadian
Or both for $400 with free clamp for Sankor

The Isco is in good condition, but has some dust and a slight scratch on the front element but doesn't affect image quality.

The Sankor is in okay condition. Has some dust and a scratch inside the lens and it does produce some crazy flares because of the scratch. The photos will show the lenses well.

You have to register.

I did but still no luck unfortunately.

Dumb question, but how do I comment on dvxuser? There's lots of good discussion on it, but I can't view any images.

Some screen grabs from a music video teaser I'm making. Shot with GH5, old ENG lens, and the Atomos NInja V in ProRes 422 with the Tungsten LogC LUT baked into the footage. It gave me a really good starting point to add different LUT's and start grading. Also added the 4:3 border and film grain.

@Sage

With the Ninja V coming out soon, how would you use it with the GH5? You're able to bake in LUTs with the Ninja V. Would you suggest doing that at all to get the look straight out of the camera, or add it later still? If we can shoot like that, we'd be able to get a good look in camera and have a quicker turn around time too.

A few test stills showing some daylight and mixed lighting - I also posted a couple different exposure of shot to show clipped highlights. I have finally developed my node structure in resolve to a powergrade with the olpf, the hue passthrough and my extra contrast added after GHa in LAB colorspace. Seeing as I how I haven't convinced work to invest in Pansonic(they use sonys sadly) I will hopefully have my first personal shoot coming up to really put GHa through its paces. Loving this conversion!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would love to see how you got it to look this good! Still trying to figure out some things. Hopefully that tutorial Sage was talking about will drop soon. Great work!

That's what I'm thinking - granted I don't get hit by a bus or something

I always liked Black Magic

Those are really cool. What's your approach there? How did you set WB? I want to get a magenta/color light to experiment with in my next night shoot

Thanks! I set the WB to give off the best red and blue sky using V-Log. As for the border I took bits and pieces from different sources around the web and added them all in Photoshop and then animated the border movement in After Effects!

Big fan of this LUT! I've been playing around with it for a little bit now. Here's some stills using it. This was graded in Premiere and the border was made by myself using different sources.
