    my main takeaway from this video is to actually watch what is on your footage rather than just the graphs. amazing video thank you

    Amazing how you in 12 minutes managed to show me how I’ve gone about all of this wrong. Those are definitely mistakes I’ve been making as a rookie filmmaker up until now. Thank you for taking me to the next level in such a short amount of time!

    Great video, every beginner should watch this. Too many youtubers give tutorials using cinematic footage full of shadows and midtones and highlights , but that's no always realistic for everyday users - sometimes you may shoot video with very little in the way of shadows. So watching this video has helped immensely.

    Looking at the footage for the visuals you want is more important than just whats shown in the graph. Thanks for the video man!

    This beginner really appreciates this video. Quite often I follow tutorials and do everything right, but don't truly understand, and the knowledge doesn't "stick." You explained the curves in a way I can understand (in fact, I feel stupid that I didn't figure this out on my own). I know that the topic was about scopes, but it really explained the curves perfectly. This knowledge will stick! What I learned: 1) The top point is the limit of the highlights and the bottom point is the limit of the shadows. Wherever I set these points, the highlights and shadows cannot go beyond them. 2) It's OK to move the top point and the bottom point (I didn't know that!). 3) Mid-tones are affected by pulling the line in the middle at one or more points. I'm sure there is much more to learn here, but just knowing that basic information really helps to get me started. Thanks!

    Wow this was a VERY helpful video. I really appreciate your perspective on the color correction / grading process. at the end of the day it IS art. Thank you for this.

    So for most production, I am involved with 3d animation. However, I also am into photography and love cinematography. I am very familiar with dynamic range....and this video is exactly what I see about intro to histogram. You do have to first look at the image. If it's comprised of a dark scene, most values are going to be dark (or likewise light if the other way). Hence why many examples why a given image should not have a tonal range going from complete black to white.

    Man, I've come back to this several times.
    Super helpful.
    What's tripping me up though is that when I adjust the color in gain after turning the lum mix to 0, adjustments on one color still affect the others.
    This is on a new note where the only other thing I've done is adjust the gamma down a bit. There is no added saturation or color boost or contrast or..
    Still does it on a fresh node as well.

    So well explained and your talking head shot is nicely lit and graded. So often you see other ‘pro’ TH-cam’s talk about ‘coloring’, grading in actual fact, the coloring is part of the DOP’s job, post is grading to match shots. Then they produce washed out video, probably from RAW, which have no true blacks whatsoever. Sorry for rant but I started out in 16mm and progressed to 35mm anamorphic as a cinematographer. Will look at your lessons as one never stops learning. Thanks, C

  • @milquetoes
    @milquetoes 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is gold, thanks. Something that still mystifies me: If the highlights don't need to match, how do you make sure to properly balance the image (or even know if it's properly balanced)? I know of the technique of balancing based on the skin tone line of vector scope, and how centralized the vectorscope is. There must be a better way? Honestly, I feel that balancing can be the hardest part of color correction, because it affects your entire grade if not done correctly (making qualifications messy and inaccurate because there is not enough color separation). An in-depth video on color balance ins and outs would be amazing.

    All great stuff. Mainly learned it by just remembering to keep in mind what the data actually means and what is actually in the image. Didn’t know about the Lumamix control. Also recently wondering if there’s an easy way to use the scopes just for a section of the image.

    Extremely helpful. I think a lot of us get caught up on following rules of thumb that should not be considered absolutes.
    As you note, it’s more art than science.
    While the tools and rules are important, I think final decisions should be based on the look and feel of the image.
    Thanks, again.

    Great common sense here.
    I learned that after years of retouching photography in raw format. We have to look at what we have inside the picture. THE SUBJECT decides what's best for it. Then of course we chose a style.
    Can we say that a maximum of contrast is like having quantity (high range) VS having quality in what we chose a softer image but with a better taste?
