"Memo" Music Video Screengrabs
Hey guys,
I know the F3 has been useless and obsolete ever since the F5/F55 dropped, not to mention worthless (just check out what they're going for 2nd hand at the moment!). But I figured I'd point out that with a lot of hard work, you can just about coax a bearable image of it. And as a sucker who has only just bought into this ancient piece of technology, I figured I'd post a few preliminary grades from my first shoot (and first music video shoot) with my very own F3... Any suggestions on the grades would be much appreciated. Cheers |

Looks great.
The yellow/organge shots are real warm, like very tungsten. Does that match the motivation of what's going on in the actual music or performance? I like to play with cooler colors sometimes, but it should fit the overall mood. |

Re: "Memo" Music Video Screengrabs
Harsh words for the camera. It's far from obsolete and hardly useless, and I seriously doubt the image is that far off from the new cameras.
What are you using to grade? I think there is a couple of grading steps that can take the videoish look out of your shots and make it look a bit more filmic. :) |

We have a few more shots to do which will involve a pretty big city skyline at night, I'm thinking of lighting those shots a bit cooler to create some contrast. Quote:
Preliminary grade is just in FCP. Could you explain the 'video-ish' aspects you're seeing and the steps you'd take to avoid them? Cheers |

Re: "Memo" Music Video Screengrabs
Well, after some grading/rendering nightmares that forced me to put in an order for a new computer to replace my trusty 5 year old Mac Pro yesterday (who knew Final Cut Pro had a Blue-Render-Of-Death?!); and swear a blood oath to myself to only grade things in Resolve from this point forward; I'm pleased to present my first music video, 'Memo':
