00:26 is the only one near film - nice cold colours

It doesn't necessarily has to be film like. Color grading is about free form art.

@EugeniaLoli So many people try to get there digital cameras to look as if it were shot in Film Strips.

Which is totally okay! And Film is no doubt a killer look! With film you actually get more clarity to subjects that are over exposed and under exposed. With Digital you really just get what you have in the exposure.

The Red One is definately the closest to having that film look.

But the point is there is such a thing of a cool "digital look".

I believe that there is versital attributes.

@imsamjacob This is why I always advocate people shooting "flat" with their cameras, to get as much dynamic range as possible on their stream.

What about Magic Bullet Looks, the stand alone program. Is that included in the plugin?

[EugeniaLoli]

That's what I used back then for this video. Since then I got "Magic Bullet for Editors 2.0" for Vegas.

Really good, Great job

Hundreds of videos like this on youtube, no one bothers to post the name of the MB effects they use or their custom settings.

[imsamjacob]

@EugeniaLoli Exactly. I believe the default settings on RED's are all flat.

I've been working with dealiest catch producer and all they use are Reds and a couple of panasonics. Panavision makes good film cameras.

Though all the Film Rigs like the ones Christopher Nolan uses, are not open for public use & only through Production companies... Big Production Companies.

So once again, if you can get your hand on a panavision, I believe those are the only Cinema Film Rigs for Public.

I think the 0.30 is the only film like... LOL

[conewells]

Wow. Only a 35MM lens could match this.

[SkylightBlog]

what's the difference between magic bullet looks 1.2 and magic bullet looks v2?

[dreamdemon99]

AE yes, not sure about FCP

Another way to get a warmer overall bias is to use a 1/8 or 1/4 blue filter with Rosco Tough Frost, then point the camera toward the key light and do a custom white balance. You could also do this with 1/8 or 1/4 mounted on foamcore.
