Screen Grabs from Miracle Bell 'Future Kings'

[Piers McGrail]

Hey all,

Just to pass the time while we wait for news on the Epic. Here are some grabs from a music video I shot this week for Irish band Miracle Bell. The director was Simon Eustace, and the production company was Tidal.






We shot on the M sensor with two SuperSpeeds. Hope you like them.

There are a few more on my blog - http://piersmcgrail.blogspot.com/2010/11/future-kings-screen-grabs.html.

Video is now up on youtube. Click here.

I graded it in RedCine with the new colour science.

I really like the green light on the actors skin in contrast to the red surroundings. Superb!

You should look into using something like the Deband from Sapphire. That 10 to 8 bit translation is a bitch...

Hi Jake,

Must look into that - I figured it was just one of the side effects of heavy compression. At what point would you use Deband? On the H.264 file?

Thanks for the comment Jesper!

Yep, that should do it.
Any time you go down from 10 to 8 bit, you'll get banding. When you have gradients, like in the beginning of clip, it will be more noticeable.
