Assignment3: video tweaking

We were given the task of shooting something out in the open with the Canon 7D. (the setting of the camera should have been 60 fps, however mine was shot on 30, which might have caused some jittering in the film when it was brought into Nuke for further changes.

Need to add screen grab from NUKE

So in Nuke the mov. clip was color corrected via the color grading tool with the reference of a RAW still image relating to the clip. Then the file was exported/rendered out as sequence pics.

The sequence pics were brought into AE for further tweaking.

the above screen grab shot was an untreated piece.

For a cross processing look, I added an adjustment curve to the clip, and increased the contrast and reduced a little of the lighting. Added a mask and feathered the corners to make them darker to make the center jump out more. Changed the coloration to have a warmer glow as shown in the screen grab below.

Using the same original clip for a Bleach bypass treatment, an adjustment effect was added. This time exposure was lowered , increased contrast and lighting. Added a Hue/saturation curve where the blue/cyan saturation was reduced and increased yellow and red to the piece as shown in the third screen grab shot.
