film look with color and contrast correction

[Reapo21]

thats wats up! i need to kno the settings for this

[YUNGCASTRO100]

what were your settings to do this?

[Koopakaid]

not bad man its just a tad to dark in most areas try increasing the whites in your levels and balance the black whites together. Dont overwhelm them. Other than that its fine : )

[greenlatraya]

what program did u use

[jaytmek]

excellent demonstration of how much difference colour and contract correction can make!

[Zaktotheizzo]

@paterkiwicz Jesus, what a bunch of assholes. this is a fantastic video. well done! any chance of a tutorial?

[BluScarFace]

[Barbadian2k8]

wow, this is actually fucking good the effect you got.

[nichotshot]

well that made me laugh

[onnudx]

his wife yells action and this dumb fuck loafs in and screws the railing instead of screwing her which is certainly what she wanted

[VideoMenu]

This could definitely be a scene from a bigger production called "There's a Body in the Basement!"

Great character acting. ;)

[TopClassClowns]

HOW DID YOU do that please tell me , what program bc i use sony vegas and how u use that color correction

[samotv369]

what a great actor

[pitirre2012]

It doesn't looks like film look.

[lucafe006]

lol looks like a creepy movie in the 2 after picture

[Shinobiriz]

@lucafe006 CAN U ALL like show a Tutorial on how to do this effect on sony vegas pro 10 or something @@

[JProductionsSV]

The Color is awesome. Try with de audio now..

[TehFoxit]

you should have recorded a woman in the kitchen

[grandtmusic]

lighting matters! it really does!

[namrur2]

0:14 Your dog looks worried.

[00bowzer52]

What kind of camera did you use!?

[JoArtsDev]

too much offset

[MarkyJayStudios]

hmm...the original clip needs to have way less contrast, the blacks are so intense in the color corrected clip it wipes out a lot of shadow detail

[jonath2345]

u have to do a tutorial great vid big difference

[brenobigi]

lol, why the guy walks like a zombie?

[SuperBunkerbuster]

Color seems like Doom 3 or Prison Break

[arcadia449]

Does he actually walk like that for real?

[acebrimshore]

51 people could tell that he wasn't a real handyman...:)

[jeanaro]

WHAHAHAHHAHA LOL @ the walking

[mrnessss]

is that lars von trier?



[jeanaro]

@mrnessss

i loled

[piterXdT]

[hadriansilver]

Dam your such a good director. This film really made me think!

[trezg1]

You should really do a tut for this, Really has a Pro look..Nice!!

[photocide1]

its a bit too contrasty in my opinion, but still a good job and very demonstrative

[Twistleful]

this is great work :)

[RxCpanda]

this is pretty good btw what camera did you use for this one?

[letspideydoit]

what program u used ?

[kingtubenino]

what was the plot again? but thats a really sick effect nice work.

[EkzzS]

...WTF? i laughed so hard at the way he walked then walked away.. good job though

[TheNewshorts]

exposure is a magic word :D

[lazarotheboss123]

you should make a tutoirla on this please

[Draggzilla]

Did you add any Sharpen?

[Margalus89]

He's an awesome actor, i'm gonna call his manager and hire him for my next colossal!

[TheLunarFlower]

Who disliked this?!

[TheCrew575]

nice color correcting next time shoot your video at 24p it makes all the difference if you don't have a camera that can do that you should look into some mini dv camcorders. I personally like Panasonic's line check them out

[gabbergijs]

nice and also nice actor ;d

[zidane10ronaldo7]

software?

[canucks589]

You should call this "How Not to Contrast your Shots"

[resington]

yea, nice contrast.

[ninjaduderantaro]

what camera do u use??

[jsayram]

haha DID HE FIX IT!!!!!?! i WANT A SEQUEL!

[nxdyez]

very brief, funny and easy to understand , good job ;)

[nxdyez]

very brief , funny, and easy to understand.... Good job;)

[Videoeditor3000]

Very good! cool color effects.

[webstarjoe]

looks more like a documentary look

[TullyBuddy]

It looks alittle overdone bro

[elton590]

pretty good but the blacks are too black and you are loosing detail in the picture.

[Kennybenny19]

who put a camera in a woman's hands!!! she ruined the whole thing. it was so shaky.

[prescient8]

@Kennybenny19 - weren't you in a woman's hands when you were a baby? Perhaps she dropped you on your head.

[ZenithZephyroth]

make a tutorial please... :D

[TexcorProductions]

Sorry but I don't get ... do ya call this color CORRECTION? You made your footage look horrible ... sorry but I've to be honest on this one ... everyone has a different opinion on grading  but is way too dark and not well graded. I know everyone wants that cool looking film look but this has nothing to do with film at all.

[RobynStreaky]

It's a wonderful technique. Watch out for contrast effects though if you're doing longer pieces, because by using contrast you're also reducing the palette to a fewer number of colors (fx. if you go all the way up on this clip you'll end up with flat black, green and maybe grey). You can preserve depth and have contrast in many ways fx. by lighting very hard while shoting with very low iris.

[mikedurland]

looks good

[convoy1999]

is it me or does he look like the tourettes guy?

[iPeytonShow]

What did u use for this.

[RealDefKilla]

Looks like he leaves to kill the kid. Quite eerie :D

[SimaticStyle]

lol have you seen the movie orange county? the color reminds me of it :), nice xD

[Luka1180]

In some places: too dark.

[jentacularkid559]

perfect.

[politically2correct]

wow, the before was drastically different, im really impressed!

what sort of editor and camera did you use? : )

[iandangerfield]

Fantastic "not stop action" scene

[luseja]

cine-on AE?

[TheSpectacularNino]

to Dark.

[ODSTRedstorm]

this vidz haz too much blakz colorz zzzz

[ganjatore]

looks shitty

[nuahsx]

looks more like poor lighting than anything

[fijifellah]

@nuahsx I agree. The lights seem to be a problem. But the main thing the person was focusing on was getting the film look with color and contrast correction.

[MetalcoreLV]

first one was better... in edited video too much blacks...

[onorone11]

guys there are a lot of videos telling how to create a dilm look...These guys add black bars (aspect ratio),corret the colors ....In Correcting the colors we talk about photography.The mood we want to show to the viewer.

The film look is in my opinion is not the point of a good movie.

Now if you wanna have film look in you video you just record your scenes 24fps...

[whomikedao]

It's nice but I think you should convert it to 24p instead of 30p to get that moviie moving

[holymoleyproductions]

thats pretty good

[gabrilli]

This is great! Can you explain me? (in private also) I've Final Cut Express ... thank you so much

[avilezfilms]

looks good..what brand and model did you used to shot this?!!.. hope you answer.. thanks..

Avilez dj

[broadband0502]

that looks like a scene from a real movie 5 stars but you have to clean your fish tank

[SuperHD1080P]

5 Stars, very cool

[InTheWeedz]

bwahahahha. i like how doofballish dude looks while screwing in the thing

[leonidhaimov]

Awesome! Look like hd :D 5/5 stars + sub and friend lol

[frilink]

you call that film look????

[Silenthawk98]

Really pointless clip, but nice color correction.

[leonidhaimov]

It's a test clip.

[ChewySatisfaction]

A bit more fill lighting on the character, steady pan and youre on a winner. good stuff

[sodiumwinter]

do you think so????????lol

[junkerde]

that was ok

[AEvideos100]

rofl i kno how ;p

[Hiteryan]

This video's great to prove a point. Nice work

[megapowerfuldude]

good job how you do it?

[paterkiewicz]

@megapowerfuldude

I'm suprised how many people ask, I just used some a color correct (or balance) to reduce the red hue, used a either "bump mapping" for a spotlight, or if your editor has it just use spotlight itself to get the vignette. Then bump up the contrast. You'll never get rid of the motion blur unfortunately. Real film has a the sharp motion exposure. All you can do is use as many lights as you can and manually adjust your shutter speed when shooting to as fast as possible.

[percussionchica101]

@paterkiewicz Contrast is not what makes a movie look good. It's the dynamic range. Less it more.

[NfectMedia]

@paterkiewicz Well in fact film look is achieved using a fixed shutter speed at 24p (1/48). It is done to keep the best motion blur vs sharpness. Some movies however are shoot with different shutter speed, but it is then to add another feel to the footage (stuttering/liquid feel...)

[Metalhead6six6]

@paterkiewicz I know this is extremely old, but no, you should definitely not adjust your shutter speed to something fast. It should almost always be double the frame rate you're shooting. Obviously, rules are meant to be broken, but unless there's a reason you want your video to look like Saving Private Ryan, this is one that you should generally stick to.

[Johnnyboybravo]

@paterkiewicz do you use sony vegas? if so can you give the low down on it?

[MrDuncan1997]

@paterkiewicz did you do it with after effects?

[Skaterdude518]

how do you get the look with the darkened corners?

[smokyjee]

Nice one, how did you do it? I'm just starting a movie project! Good work

[iReLaPsEi]

omg amazing

now tutorial this :D

[fauxtographic]

Looks like you got some moiré going on with the computer monitor inyour shot. That will always give away that its video.

[shixxor]

this man is such a good actor... impressive

[pacmanlegend]

@shixxor ahhahahahahahhahahahaha

[philsaddiction]

@shixxor yea i was very impressed

[shixxor]

@philsaddiction xD even his dog is like "WTF?"

[bobdejong88]

@shixxor lol 

[BlockRecordsTV]

nicee look

[Amahri72]

Very good job!!!

[lessemo]

your dog it´s very similar to mine! haha

[worldskb]

Good job, keep it up.

[SuddenlySmile]

wow that looks good what software did you use?

[kanathonline]

how to do that film look can u tell me plz

[seanissane]

good job

[13Guitarsmasher13]

Cooowl.. Wich preset is it :D?

[ukcameraman]

that looked awful. But I can see what you were going for.

[oudeh99]

your experiment was great, you just need to fix the lighting setup in the shooting location, this can help solving the issue of having too dark picture in the post

[Boundless0]

I know this was just a quick test -- but if you try it again, try a different lighting setup..be sure to get some back lighting and a fill light; it appears you just have a strong ceiling (key) light and some natural light from the other room.  Contrast settings pick up in the contrast of light to dark - that's how they work. Having a greater difference in shadow to light will make that contrast (in the editing phase) more effective.

[yandirector]

i think this is the only way to make video look close to film... boost the contrast and maybe custom adjust the whitepoint... but this does look good! ;) good job

[DeBomValt]

i think you should lock the exposure too.

[nileshcamera]

gr8

[AntonDensexte]

to dark, u shouldn't low the contrast that much.

[Jtp101z]

it depends what kind of look she's going for it would be good if you wanted the Saw type of look

[XxH4VOCKxX]

very good

[JorenX]

There seems to be hanging a wall above him in the room. So, the original footage was already a bit of a problem. The film look effect is great though, the greens are beautifull. Just try it again on some other footage, with proper lighting :)

[JorenX]

Of course I meant 'lamp' instead of 'wall'.

[Crackpot72]

I like the sharper contrast, but it seems to be much darker, like he's walking in a spotlight.
