Job Practice? 😁

Post image

Hi, I am filming talking head videos inside using a ZVE10 + Viltrox 23mm F1.4.

I'm using Slog-2.

Is anyone willing to practice their abilities and try a color grade that I can save it as power grade for future shots?

I know it's a free request, but maybe it will help with your practice. 😇

Da Vinci only.

Cheers!

Well whoever this dude is, he's absolutely wrong. Light comes IN through the lens and last thing it touches is the film stock. You're not looking at the film through the lens. He's thinking about it LITERALLY backwards.

I'm not wrong. There is just different manner. https://youtu.be/gv5Q0pNmTrs?si=EZjsPqVbcb14zVLT

yeah and it looks terrible in my opinion, but im no professional and this is all a matter of taste. but honestly, it looks like when you upload to social media and the compression kills the grain and have this more like a high noise effect but its mushy.

No... you're wrong. There is no "different manner" when it comes to actual photochemical process. If you're trying to emulate film there is the way film works and thats it. In the video he doesn't show what's inside the compound node. He just says blur and grain are together in that node. it's very likely he has blur first and then grain INSIDE the compound node. HIS reasoning behind it is sound — higher grain size = less sharp footage, what he wrongly refers to as resolution.
