Dragons First Shoot, practicals only

[Samuel Tressler IV]

Haven't attempted grading yet, may prove a bit tricky, but for our first Dragon flight I wanted to try some shooting with practicals only. Using RedPro Primes, 800iso 8:1. The first 2 are lit with only tiki torches, the next 3 primarily by a fire with a bounced joker800 for moon rimlight and a dedo led, the final an indoor scene with all practicals and 1 dedo for fill.

Judging from this limited and rushed first taste I can't wait to keep shooting on these beasts.

Thanks for the pics Samuel. Was interesting to see such well-lit shots so heavily underexposed.

Had a play with them in Redcine-X. Tried to bring the levels up a bit, while keeping the noise to a minimum, but mainly focused on neutralizing the atmospheric lighting, just to see what was there.








































Would be interesting to see how organic and grain-like that noise looks when in motion, could be a nice effect.

Nice! Amazing what can be done in Redcine

 

[Dennis Guskov]

Would love to see a grade with fire and charcoals still preserved

 

[Alain M]

Awesome Grading...In which program did you grade it?

 

[Les Hillis]

Redcine-X Alain.

Dennis, I didn't even know the red coals were there, I thought it was just ashen wood.



Showing the fire and glowing coals, while maintaining the other colours in the shot, would take a more advanced kind of grading than I can do at the moment.

Nice Les, thanks for giving it a stab, grades are looking good.

I'll throw up a couple clips once graded, will indeed be interesting to see how it holds up in motion.
