Hey Guys,

 

Just wanted to share a little anamorphic western I did a couple years ago. Finally finished put it online.

 

 

Camera used was an unhacked GH1 (yea, I shot it a while ago)

LA7200, used mostly a 24mm nikon

 

Graded in davinchi

Ran it through Dark Energy and cleaned it up most of the GH1 compression noise.

 

It was a while ago, but I watch it on the big screen at a festival and I think it looked great.

Thanks!

 

Dark Energy is a texture management software. We've got it at my dayjob and I applied it to the image final sequence.

Process was: degrain and remove a bunch of compression crap, sharpen, add grain back in. It's sound redundant, but works great. I wanted to rough up the shots and give it a bit of grunge.

Not really.  The noise in digital footage looks bad.  It's based on a fixed grid.  It's ugly.  Remove that junk and add a little bit of organic, analog looking noise (especially if it's based on actual scanned material and not something like that horrible "grain" effect in After Effects) and you improve the aesthetic and smooth over a lot of sin caused by compressed 8-bit imagery.
