Deadcode Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hi everyone! Are you looking for a footage for some practice gradeing? Or are you just bored? Download my footage, and show me what the colors should look like! I'm curious what you think about what looks good, or what looks "natural" or "filmic" for you. Post some screengrabs or your self-made LUT! Here is the 1 min long footage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrgl Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Magyarorszag? I want to say Budapest, kinda looks like Buda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadcode Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Camera is irrelevant in this case i guess, but we can make another "guess the camera" if you want Yup, it's in Budapest, Hungary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayRaven Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 What "look" did you have in mind while you were shooting? As they are all one clip, are we supposed to treat them as one clip, or is cutting them back up again acceptable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a grade that usually looks nice but the codec fell like a house of cards. Its a trial and error until I know and that just takes to much time So I just did a quick thing treating it as rec709. Nothing special, leveled it 1 degree as well. Zach Goodwin and DayRaven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadcode Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Dayraven: The way you like it, what is "natural" for you and show some "filmic grade, like Mattias above In my mind: "dont burn the highlights" and most contrasty scenes i can find Mattias: I'll tell you tomorrow 35Mbps H264 export, maybe next time im doing a littlebit higher bitrate export. At the tree scene it falls apart even without grade I like your grade, but your footages usually have this look, so that was expected from you Mattias Burling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the tree scene it falls apart even without grade Its an awesome idea for a thread, but I rather have footage straight from the card, no exports. And info on camera, lens, and PP. Then we can see the difference in how we grade and discuss how. Marco Tecno, DayRaven, markr041 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayRaven Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Here's my effort - I treated them all the same, as the editing had been done. I tried to dither out the banding, but honestly I would have reshot the indoor shots - on not included them so didn't go crazy and spend hours on them. Also didn't straighten the horizon, on the building exterior, as it is pre-edited, I assume the slight dutch is intentional. If it wasn't, again, I would reshoot or leave out. Also I would dial back on the stabilization, if I were to do it again. GH4? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18357586/1.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave it a try but it falls apart so quickly that it cannot be used to create unique looks. Edit: Here are some frame-grabs from the same color grading across the video: Edit2: With the Prores version I could push the colors a bit more: DayRaven and mercer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed the post stabilisation and exported without neat noise reduction, so expect some heavy grain in the low's Same footage in ProRes, without Stab and NR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadcode Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 The camera is Panasonic LX100 at ISO200, F4, auto shutter Settings: Standard with -5 contrast, iDynamic: Medium, -1,33 EV exposure, +3 highlights/-1 shadows Post: 16-255 to 16-235 remap, Filmconvert GH4 Standard profile, level adjusments to fill the waveform monitor, apply Osiris REC709 to LOG LUT, Neat noise reduction, export to 1080p Why did i do that? The footage is easily gradeble, you can have nice result with minor tweaks. With this camera settings the latitude is nice, but it costs a lot of noise. My short them goal is to learn more about colorgradeing from the forum members, and my long term goal is to make a "my camera to 1Dc LUT" for every camera out there, like Andrew Raid started with A7/NX1/GH4 camera guides Here is my "natural" screengrabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanhurba Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I usually go timid with this, every grading is a personal taste and there's not one wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgharding Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Purple and green noise is loud and large here! What camera is this? It must be a tiny sensor due to the colour blotching and deep DOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
