  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Thanks Miles, sure! I cut some 2.5mm glass at 101mmx101mm (4x4) and scratched it up, smashed it, put tape on it, and mixed/rotated them to get certain looks. Also, I deliberately purchased the cheapest nastiest ND filters I could find on ebay and lucked out with a beautiful warm colour cast ;) These are the most filmic images I have ever captured....and the flexibility in post with RAW is simply amazing.
 
Really nice work, Matthew. Would you mind posting a few pre-graded stills? I'm curious to see what you started with, especially on the wide shot.

Fantastic! I actually have a insanely scratched-up square anamorphic front for my Russian glass. I hadn't given it much thought until now. I'll have to play with it to see what I can get.

Thanks for the idea!!
 
HA! Fantastic Matthew. This is what i LOVE. Creative experimental approaches to shooting and achieving stunning imagery. Love it mate well done.
The flexibility we have with RAW is a given, but still curios as to just what colour palette you began these shots with pre grade?

Best

Love the look and how you archived it, well done. Looking forward to see it in motion.
I agree, pre-grade images would be very interesting. :)
 
Hey guys, thanks for the comments and interest :) Here are some RAW stills from the shoot with some extra details.

I find that I get best results grading from REDlog than anything else. It's the ONLY space that shows when and where my highlights have been clipped...wish I could use it in camera. I'm in the process of creating a new website/blog which will go into much more detail, sharing all of my tests and fun shoots/post workflows, plus downloadable R3D's. Thanks again for the interest :)

Thanks for sharing some details. I look forward to hearing more about your process. That being said, what I'm even more interested in is getting out there and shooting something. Very inspiring work. :)
 
Matthew thanks a ton for sharing. these look gorgeous! a wonderful feel you created there.
Looking very much forward to reading up your story on the blog!

Oh, and would you share which rig you used for the car shots? Thanks in advance!
 
Is the purple/pink cast (noticeable even on the RAW jpgs) from the cheap NDs? That's my favourite part.

Good news - you can use it in camera! :). SETTINGS > LOOK > COLOR/GAMMA

On which camera? Not my Scarlet you can't...only RLF, gamma 2 and gamma3 are options. I want REDlog, which is different to REDlogfilm. Try clipping your highlights with RLF and watch the histogram lie about it :)
