Color Correction Test

Color Correction Test using more video copilot test footage. I've been working on developing a simple color correction technique. So far I'm very happy with my tests. The grade is a simple four step process.

1) Tint - Map whites to a cream/orange and map blacks to a dark indigo. Then add contrast back in using curves.
2) Highlights - Adjust the exposure in areas you want to stand out. Use masking to select the areas.
3) Depth of field. - Add in any depth of field that you think enhances the shot.
4) Saturation - Saturate or desaturate the footage as needed, to keep it from being over-saturated or too washed out.

It's working so far.
