Pretty interesting hearing how you accomplished the fire scene, VFX artist are magicians. Also, pretty abrupt ending, felt a little incomplete on the concluding remarks.... Interested in seeing a breakdown of "Conversations with a Killer". Was that all nanlite + practicals and natural lights? some interesting harsh shadows on the walls and a good mix of patterns that're really intriguing. Good stuff!!
Hey there! Thanks for watching and for the feedback! Yeah I was super grateful for the VFX help haha needed it. And yes very abrupt ending, like a Hitchcock film without Alfred 😜 hahaha. Next time I’ll ramble a bit more! Yes! I can for sure do a breakdown on conversations with a killer. I did some lighting diagrams for it on my Instagram @storylitfilms. I used all nanlite for that one. Thanks again for the good convo!
Really love the cinematography and overall look of your videos! How do you grade them? Do you have a special workflow? One of the best graded footage I have seen in a while especially considering that you‘ve filmed some of them on cameras such as the bmpcc 4k!
Thank you very much! Means a lot! I really appreciate your kind words. For grading process usually I have a film reference in mind for what I'm going for. For this one it was No Country for Old Men. I pull a couple of stills from the film off of shot deck. I grade in davinci and I pull the stills into davinci so I can begin grading. My node tree is something like this:Exposure adj., Color Correct adj., Lighting adjustment (relight or power windows), Rec 709 (I don't always convert to rec 709 but often I do), Creative color (sometimes its a LUT, sometimes its me at the wheels or the curves pushing the color I want in there).
Thank you, really appreciate your detailed response. Somehow I always end up neglecting a reference and later on I spend way to much time on building a look that is somewhat consistent throughout the project. Anyways, I‘ll definitely try to incorporate that more into my workflow! Thanks again and have a nice day. Also liked the Jesse James film type of shots from one of your other videos! Going for the Deakins films I see.
@@AbcAbc-br5uz Absolutely! Yeah I can mis that step sometimes, sometimes I just work from memory and think of different images in my head. But I like features on Shot deck and imdb where it tells you the film stock and what not and then you can emulate that to a degree.
