My Attempt on "Next Day Edit" · September 18th, 2011, 11:18 PM

It was a wedding in St. Louis last Saturday. I was wanting to do a Same Day Edit to surprise them but I was so busy throughout the day. So I got back to hotel room at midnight. Woke up at 5am to edit this short "Coming Soon' video to show both sides of the family at lunch.

It was shot in 24p. Edit with my Acer 11" i7 CPU which does not work very well with DSLR .MOV files. I was wanting to convert them to Cineform but I don't think there would be enough time.

I like it. I always like the "look" of your video. Just curious, do you color grade or is it a camera preset. Been toying with my t2i but can't seem to get the "look" your video has. Hope you can share.

Thanks

Thanks for your comment. I didn't color grade. This thing was done in a few hours after the wedding. And I was working on a slow computer. :)

What I did was, to modify the Neutral Color Profile. Tone down the first two options all the way down (Sorry I don't have my T3i in front of me). That's it :)

Thanks. I'll play with the settings then.
