  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Didn't we get a bit off the road with this thread lately? ;-)

Who give a hoot? If the OP subject is played out (it is) and all the original questions are answered, then what is the crime in folks interacting with free association? What is this 2nd Grade . . . "Stay on task kids" ;-)
 
Just out if curiosity why 74? What is that a multiple of? Why not 48 or 72 or 60? It if it was just casual test and not cok R graded short or not be too critical a review ;)
 
Zeb,

Today was my day with Resolve, tomorrow its back to RedcineX.

That's fun. Good exercise to do these whimsical bits

I'm not so sure. A great exercise would be to consistently create great looking visuals with excellent light distribution and tonality. I think the hard part is in the subtlety and developing great "taste".

I don't mean to stop you from having fun, but I don't think this is very useful—not as a grading exercise and not for evaluation of the sensor.

I realise this is about as dry as a comment here gets, but so be it.
 
Get off my lawn you dang kids!!!

You are correct. None of what I've posted in the past few pages does anything to further the understanding of the IPP2 workflow or the true capabilities of the Monstro
Sensor. It was just me bullshitting around. But I have tried to actually contribute to the thread in trying to better understand the OP's original subject. The subject of how Monstro handles Low Light Fire scenes. So hopefully there will be new posts concerning how to better deal with/ handle fire in Low light scenes with Monstro.

Would be cool tho to cut the Contemplative Spaceman image into elements to create a parallax effect while zooming in ;-)

Zeb,

The next few days are all RedcineX days.
 
You have nothing to apologize for there Rand. Having enthusiastic contributors is what makes any forum engaging. Seems to be Grumpyville here recently. I mean if anyone else has something to add to the conversation . . . then post away. If you read the OP, it had no questions or concerns. This thread is an open book as far as I'm concerned and the work that Rand is posting is certainly RED related and fun to watch

Thanks A lot For That Zeb, But I understand his concerns.

Since I'm back in RedcineX today, I thought I'd work again with the fire scene footage.

To bring out more faces in the crowd.

For anyone wanting to practice Keying here is a photo from Bjorn Benckert. I graded the walls so that they were a "Keying" green color so that I could pull a key from it later.



Here is the photo mentioned earlier to practice keying with

James, The more time you give to Resolve, and for that matter RedcineX, the more each will give you back in skill and creative possibilities.

Hey! That sounded like a commercial!

Hey Rand,

Thanks for the support. I will keep at it and give it more time.

Yes, it did sound like a commercial. Lol!!
 
James,

I'm still learning Resolve myself, and it's been about a year and a half since I first started using it. I don't want to come across as some Davinci Resolve "Aficionado" or anything I just keep on trying and experimenting to see what Resolve can really do. Just try different things, sometimes stupid things. When you're having fun doing things you enjoy with Resolve, you might just find that you'll develop a skill that you can use professionally as well.
 
James,

Here was a needless, Fun, Stupid, waste of time exercise, that I was told by more knowledgeable members of the forum was exactly that, that I gave myself last year that I almost quit 8 to 10 times . It was an attempt to make a painting I downloaded from the internet look more like a photo realistic photo. I was using a shitload too many nodes all in the wrong way, but nothing has improved my qualifying, power window, Luma curve, color correcting and use of contrast adding skills more than that exercise did!

Here's the excerpt from that thread,

what I got from the internet:

transformed that into black and white

It only took 58 nodes to do it
