  • 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 :)

NEW REDCINE-X TUTORIAL

I'll take a look. Thanks for doing this.
 
There's a saying that you can judge a pizzeria by how well they can make a margherita, the most basic yet delicious pizza.

To me, you've made a smashing margherita here; a great starting point to balancing and setting exposure in post. I dug it

haha Thanks Josef :) I love margheritas!
 
Thanks for posting, I wish I saw this a year and a half ago...
like you said, hopefully it can get more people up to speed quicker than I did
 
Great! Thanks for the feedback guys :) I've actually learned a lot in the past couple of days with some testing and some of what I've taught in this tutorial isn't exactly accurate.....more to come though. Thanks again :)
 
Matthew,

Great job...! I am looking forward to have an updated video of the areas you mentioned that are not accurate. I hope you cover all of them (I noticed some of them), specially on the use of some of the sliders such as FLUT, and other sliders that are really life-savers for problematic footage.

It is important to mention, at least as I see it as a colorist, that you have a great advantage since you are a very competent DP. You are exposing things right, so the RC-X grading results are quite impressive and predictable.

I love that you monitor things in RAW. I have been advocating such concept to the DPs I have worked with when we rent our Epic-X. However, a substantial amount of the footage we get for color grading, basically needs to be re-lit, or as my friends call it, do a desktop DPing. It is then when powerful software as Resolve, can be of great help.

Thanks a lot to share with this cyber-community your knowledge and talent!!! Not many people do it, so keep it up, man.
 
Ohw.. Nice....

hey what Camera Model?

thank you

Louis, thank you very much for your input, I really appreciate it :) Although I know how to get the results that I like, it's nice to get feedback from an experienced colorist such as yourself. I'm still learning a lot about RAW and what it really means, the best ways to work with it, and so on. I'm a big believer that cinematography extends far into the dark rooms of post, so this is me sharing my findings and hopefully helping others at the same time. The cyber community has helped me out a lot in the past, so now it's my turn to give hehe ;) Thanks again!
 
Thanks Matthew! This is a great tutorial and it really is getting me interested in playing with curves a lot more. I look forward to any future tutorials that you will graciously give us.

I've just recorded a new video tutorial for RedCine-X. It covers exposure, understanding RAW and creating a look

Hi Matthew,
Just to say well done on your Tutorial. I'm new to RED and learnt a lot about what is possible in RedCine from that. So Thanks! One quick query, a look is created and saved it to the camera, as you did. If you were looking at a proxy recorded from the SDI output of the camera, would you see the image as RAW does, or would the image have the 'look' modifications embedded?

I've bookmarked your blog btw!

Hi Richard, thanks for feedback, I'm glad my tutorial has helped :) The HDSDI out from the camera carries the "look", yes, so that get's baked into the external recording.
