These are thoughtfully produced and really capture the essence of what they are trying to communicate whether you agree with them or not. Wm. Turner July 3rd, 2010, 05:51 AM Looks to me like shallow depth of field, high contrast and desaturated. Romuald Martin July 3rd, 2010, 10:28 AM Looks to me like shallow depth of field, high contrast and desaturated. Agree. Shallow DOF was what I meant with camera work / optics. Also we could add intelligent composition with foreground objects in deep perspective shots. With intense CC I referred to high con, gamma manipulation, low color saturation, and we may add here the use of vignettes to create focal points. Looks similar to this (if you have the right shot) come close to a simple preset with colorist / MB looks. But the pieces are very well produced. Congrats to the crew! Dennis Murphy July 3rd, 2010, 05:54 PM The skies look like a polarising filter was used. James Binder July 7th, 2010, 06:58 AM Color is probably done in post... ND or polarizer on long/sky shots wide lens desaturation (post) vignette (post) Shallow depth of field VERY good eye for composition Carlo Zanella July 7th, 2010, 12:19 PM [QUOTE=Tim Davison;1544529]Really like the style of these guys and was wondering what people's thoughts are about how they achived this particular look: I would also like to add that these videos are very well paced. In a "slow" paced production is essential to create the right flow to keep the viewer's attention. And, in this case, it was beautifully executed. GREAT WORK! Also great color grading in post, but never overdone.
