Anyone want to give this a grade?

[Dr. Sassi]

Someone how got the eyes to stand out better than anyone else.

Thanks a lot Will, very nice of you. It was a little power window, but I guess the top area darker helps.

Very nice thread with interesting work.

Hey a bit of old school B/W 16mm is still a look for the period right ...

 

[Ian Laurie]

I love when people post stuff to play with.

 

[Will Keir]

Figuring out which shots to give you guys. I have lots of good stuff. Some scenic land shots, some character shots, some with weapons. I don't want to highjack Elliots thread though, it's a good one.

 

[Will Keir]

All you guys are grading in Resolve or AE? No RCX grades?

 

[Andre W.]

98% in RC-X, then I actually did just a tad more in LR, maybe that's where the funky stuff popped in......

Alright, I'll join the fun as well:



Exported to TIFF, and edited in Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.

Ha! Go for it! I enjoy this stuff!

[Will Keir]

but you got the red etching out from under the helmet.

 

[Matt Doane]

quick one...

EDIT: Weird, it looks way softer on here than it does elsewhere. Oh, well.

 

[Ian Laurie]

I actually just used RC-X. Dont do much colour grading, so it works for me.

 

[Jonnie Sirotek]

Thanks for sharing!

Here's my quick take:

 

[Robert Rif]

Yeah, why not.. (Resolve 9)

Not to derail this thread but after seeing all these different takes on this image, I have to ask. How can anyone have issues with skin tone on the epic?

That is the point: it is just a fallacy... Cheap tactic to justify their laziness, or even incapability to deal with RAW.

Here's three versions I threw together in Resolve with a couple of nodes. I like to stick to the more natural look, and avoid the HDR local contrast/super sharpening look, so I've got a naturalistic one, a slightly more punchy and tinted version, and a softer tinted version. Fun little quick thing to see everyone's different takes!

Cool initiative. I played around at lunch and ended up with this.
