Sky continuity. . .

[Stephen Pruitt]

Hi all. . .

I'm editing a sequence and I've run into an issue. In one part of a scene (it's a driving scene), the sky is quite clear and blue with white wispy clouds. In another, I've got mostly clouds with some blue peaking through.

These are my best shots. How concerned should I be with that sort of continuity disconnect?

Thanks.

Stephen

hard to tell without watching the sequence... what's wrong with a little sky replacement?

As a quick and easy option you can also do a secondary layer where you select the sky values and shift them toward the color of the sky in the other shots. It's pretty easy to do in more color platforms by qualifying the hue, saturation and luminance of the area you want to affect. You could even do two, one for cloud and one for sky. That said, sky replacement would likely be a better look if you have the option.

I've never done sky replacement, and don't have the budget to do it, that's for sure. And the shots are hand-held and in a fast-moving car. I doubt of that would work anyway.

Thanks.

i might be able to help you out, just send me a pm. otherwise i'd just stop worrying about it... even if anyone in the audience notices, they'll understand

You can tune up the sky in resolve (free) very easily by selecting the color (if there's blue in the region) or also by luma value. It's a very common technique.

Get someone unconnected with the film industry to view the edited sequence. If they don't spot it when viewing it a couple of times, unprompted, you're fine!
