Coloring Advice.

[Joshua Brown]

Ok, so I've got this clip of me talking about a missions trip thing I did.
HOWEVER, I also had a bad hair dye job recently. Whenever, I get a good overall first light, my hair looks super red and a bit blown out. :help:

I've tried a secondary vignette and custom tracking shape to tone down the brilliant hair! :red_bandana: But I cannot make it look right.

So if someone could please do a color correct that looks nice and sharp with even tones and NO red hair (brown would be preferable).
I'd mostly like to see how you did it though. So sending me the color files would be awesome! And/or an explanation of how you did it would be amazing!

(file forthcoming)
EDIT: This was not shot on a red. A 4 year old DV Cam to be precise. BUT a nice 4 year old DV cam non-the-less.

At least you got a nice hair dye advice... Hmm?

I just saw the clip and couldn't find nothing wrong with your hair honestly.

Well it's a bit late, the video is finished, I just settled with Red hair. Haha. But the reason it doesn't look so bad in that video is because thats the uncorrected version. I uploaded it so people could fiddle with it if they wanted to.

I'll mark this topic... NVM.

Hey Josh,

I only saw the uncorrected shot, but I would have tried making a mask around your hair since it is darker than the wall behind. You should be able to separate it from the light wall easily. Then reduce the red channel.

I'm not sure what you tried previously. Maybe you already tried that. I didn't see this post until maybe it's too late.
