Hi guys,
Haven't posted in a while but here is some test footage I shot in the park yesterday.
Don't mean to redirect to another site but I posted a lot of full rez shots in my post and instead of redoing all of that I figured I would just give the link.

Nice footage... had that celluloid look. What settings on the dvx did you use and did you do any post work on it?

Thanks!
I had the Master ped at -3, chroma at-6, temp was on the warm side of the settings dont remember if thats - or + in the menus, cinelike-d I believe, matrix cinelike, thin, 24p but i hit the f setting switch to sparks at some point but i cant tell when that happened and I dont see any changes in the footage. The only post was the letter boxing, text and added a small S curve to the gamma to bring the colors back up from shooting flat. No additional colors or tint were added in post.

what software did you use to add the small s curve?

Aram Bauman · March 6th, 2007, 10:04 AM

After Effects. There is a filter called curves. If you shoot flat, meaning bring all your colors down in camera, you can bring it into After Effects and add the curves filter and make a small s curve which brings contrast and the colors up. The reason I do this is because reds get screwed up in the DV codec and if you mute them in camera so they dont band, you can make them really rich in something like AE. You dont have to worry about banding anymore because you render out full frames uncompressed and then compress for DVD or web.
