1st Scarlet....

[Patrick O'Sullivan]

If all the scarlet footage is like this file then we are really seeing a huge change in motion picture capture.

Grading a tvc right now from Epic footage and there is so much info in the image it is amazing.

Literally keying every color and shade. It is like motion picture painting. May have to think up a new title. The term "Coloring" with this footage doesn't seem to do it justice. Anything is possible.

Finally got to play around with this file a little.

Went CSI on it.

LOL! as a moderately experienced colorist I have to love the reference and the subtle-until-you-look-for-them top and bottom gradients. NICE! Colorist humor.

@ Patrick:

Thanks for the outline in text, but I vote for a video tutorial on how you did that AMAZING color job!!! :-0

 

[Patrick O'Sullivan]

If I get some time tomorrow I will throw up a quick explanation video of the different nodes and layers used in the clip. Should be enough to give you an overview of the look.

 

[Chris McKechnie]

nvm..found my answer

 

[Álex Montoya]

Ok, here's my take.

Neutral TIFF from REDCINE, slight S curve, secondary color correction on flesh tones (more orangy and lift in gamma), cooler shadows, unsharp mask, bright haze on uper right corner and grain.

Alex, is that a Michael Bay movie ?

Just kidding, good job.

I didn't want to take up anymore space in Tonaci's thread so I posted the Davinci walk through of my color grade example here if anyone is interested:
