How can I achieve this look using RED?

[Rudy Riveron Sanchez]

Hi all

I am new to this forum. I would like to hear from somebody here if there is a way to achieve the kind of tone, colour and texture as it is on the picture here. I would appreciate any help or advice about this subject.

I am asking because I am shooting an exterior scene on RED in England. I know this is just a picture and could have been worked out on Photoshop but the director and I liked it. I was wondering if this can be achieved only because of the nature of that specific place, the time or specific season? Or was this done by a graduated filter or any other specific filter that i don't know about. Or was this done in post production by using COLOR?

If there is somebody here that could help me that would be great.

Thanks

was this done in post production by using COLOR?

As a colorist I'm seeing some considerable possibilities pointing towards extensive HSL keying and additional post processing. If there is a way to do this in camera I'd love to know about it.

its looks like IR footage

I did that on a commercial with HVX-200 some years ago...

It's a grading thing, tint being of some importance in secondaries, and it is easily done on RED/Color.

It can be done in few different ways in post. One would be isolating trees and grass and removing their saturation plus isolating sky and changing it's hue.

Its a bit low rez, but it does just look like a very typical autumn morning in England, pushed a little.

Just change the hue by 200 (in final cut- as quick test) and you'll see the original image.

nothing more complicated than that.

EDIT* you are shooting in england, dont expect to always have the original blue sky and green grass. if you get a washed out grey sky (most of year) then you will have to comp in a fake sky to achieve that look.

yes, LeeArcher. One needs to be very lucky to work under a blue a sky in England. I am making a short part using RED (2K) and 16mm prime lenses and part 16mm black and white film stock, using the same lenses. Once it's finished I will post it here to share it with you guys and you tell me your critical opinions.

Hi Rudy,

I've tried my luck with some of my footage. Mr. Archer is spot on: on Avid, I've just changed the hue (-180), added a quick gradient on Magic Bulet and desaturated a bit. That's it ! Hope it gives you some clues to achieve want you want.

BTW, I spent few months in Leeds last year and had a great time there ! All the best!

This is correct, thats not a grade I dont think, its a slightly misty morning in Ireland/England/Brittany. I wouldnt be suprised if that was straight out of camera for all intents and purposes.
I know I have stills footage that looks like this with no correction.

Hi Mr Pelletier,

Thank you for showing me your test.
I just finished filming two days ago. I will definetly try this on post. Yes, Leeds can be fun but it gets too cold in the winter. I am from Cuba I need to see the sun more often lol.
