FX1 Simple Bleach Bypass at DVinfo.net

Just tweaking a simple bleach bypass method I came up with for an upcoming WWII short. A combination of blending modes, brightness/contrast, levels & B+W. Thoughts, comments?

Looks good to me!
Care to share your recipe? Was it mostly achieved in post?

You may find using the backlight function in combination with other settings may help.

For the most part yes. I intentionally shot the image a little hot, so I could bring that detail back down in post.

"color" blending modes transfer color data only, so duplicating and stacking layers with different hues/saturations can have very interesting effects.

when you say 'hot', do you mean slightly overexposed?
It's a great filmic look. I think with all the fuss over the Canon/Panny cameras, people tend to forget what the Sony FX1/Z1 is capable of.

Wow that's really nice, did you go to Mordor to shoot this, and the colors are stunning, what did you use,
Cheers!
