    I think it's fine to talk about AOD cause its excellent. Best filmmaking community I've ever been a part of. Ill be excited to update my reel at the end of the year to have way more diversity than I do now.

    First of all, Akira. Great movie, great shirt. Second, I love that you don’t hold back your criticism in these videos. That, more than anything, is what has helped my work grow. When I was working directly with a mentor whose opinion I valued, and who respected me enough to be honest and say where my skills were falling short - that made me learn more than any technical tutorial/class could’ve ever taught me. Great stuff as always, Mark.

That is a great critique on the flatness, it’s a mistake I will be trying to avoid making again and one we were trying to be conscious of for so much of the shoot, but it slipped away lol! love the content and all the great bits of advice from you and the inspiration from everyone here!

      For the football shot, you don't need to adjust luminance to add contrast to your shot. If the film maker wanted a faded, "print black" look, you easily could have added some saturation depth to increase contrast as well. Don't be afraid of lifted blacks, Mark, you need to be aware of the many ways to increase contrast in a shot without adjusting luminance, which will protect your shadows. It will make you a better colorist over time.

    (Apologies for the info-dump 😅)
    Your issue with black levels can be a number of things but it seems to be mostly colour management. That can be anything from things like folks using the GUI monitor to judge colour instead of a proper colour reference pipeline and reference display, to things like using an NLE that doesn't support proper colour management (Premiere, FCPX etc) or it can be how the video is exported and tagged for playing back on Apple OSX (Quicktime mistakenly interprets BT.1886 with their own flavour of gamma and lifts the black level. Videos therefore require a Rec.709-A metadata tag for Quicktime not to do this. Thank Apple).
    Many operating systems' code doesn't actually operate in the BT.1886 standard (which is Rec.709 at a gamma of 2.4 with a max display brightness of 100nits - what you should be using outside of a theatrical release) so you can end up being sent films that are finished in all sorts of uncontrolled/non-standard gammas that look differently on your GUI display despite 'looking right' on theirs. In OSX especially, you get this issue 'thanks' to OSX ColorSync but Windows also runs in sRGB 2.2 by default (a computer/web standard, not a broadcast video one). So what students/you need to be doing is use a reference video feed that isn't being generated by the operating system. To do that, you first need an 'I/O box' by a company like Aja or Blackmagic, and use finishing software that can actually colour manage the signal pipeline properly through that io box so it can ensure the video signal you are shown is actually the signal in the orignial file and not the signal after the software and operating system has had a pass on it. That 'clean' signal then needs piped into a reference monitor that's been properly calibrated (If you want professional-standard work. that means to BT.1866 on a 'Grade 1/EBU TECH 3263' spec reference monitor in a room that meets SMPTE ST.2080-3).
    With all that, you can then actually know for sure if what you see is a result of a human decision or a result of other adjustments being made at a system level because of poor colour pipeline management (hardware or software).

  • @KayBassie
    @KayBassie 5 місяців тому

    The point about the counter shot I love. I'm gonna think about doing that more when I'm filming. This might be a weird analogy but I think reality shows do this. So two people would be in conversation and while person A is talking saying "you wouldn't believe what person C did..." you would see person B reaction of nodding and listening. I've seen enough of these shots that I can tell that these reaction shots are not exactly reacting to that particular person A statement. But it's a animated reaction none the less. And then when the scene ends to go into the next scene, it's like a cliffhanger reaction from both persons just looking at each other with animated looks like "can't you believe what person C did?" Just a thought I've had🎥

  • @flochfitness
    @flochfitness 7 місяців тому +5

    Awesome stuff!!!! My two cents:
    2:40 the first two shots are "flat" compared to next two shots which have much more light to dark and draws the eye into the important parts without having to "work" for it. If this is an intense trailer, match the intensity of the contrast in shots
    5:30 sometimes, we get caught in what we know and we want to let the viewer know that. And sometimes we just want to look at how cool something is...
    7:00 you're work will 10x if you had a warm body with you to hold up a neg.
    11:07 you front lit this shot. creating, less contrast. Crab left three feet and that shot is MUCH more interesting
    12:50 less is more. It's hard to tell from being too close to your piece if shots belong or not. Show it to someone who has NO IDEA about the project (but knows about filmmaking) and ask, "does this feel cohesive?" then consider cutting that stuff that doesn't fit. Additionally, this will help your next project as you will be shooting for the edit, as you seem limited by your creation by the available shots
    14:40 that's HUGE mark. Love that idea. Now that is shooting for the edit!
