    It’s funny, every time a Peter McKinnon video dropped, I would stop everything I was doing to watch. But know when a Micah Powell video drops I’ll watch it before a Peter McKinnon video🤯

    I bought the Helios this year and it has been my favorite lens by far. I also use Joel's phantom LUTS and swear by them. My coloring process is very similar to yours aside from my doing it all in premiere, but I want to move to Davinci this upcoming year. Glad your Helios vid got so much love!

    I am one of the 350k that saw the said video.I applaud you de mystification of grading.because truthfully it is very simple,hi -end Lo - end you name it.What you are pointing at is ALWAYS the most important element.And your study of this young woman is beautiful.She real incredible charisma,really very special.Its the way she looks at the the lense,at you,at us the audience.Very rare the quality she has,and you captured it superbly.

    So look... I'm gonna be honest...
    The 44-2 is great. Your original vid is what got me researching the lens and eventually buying one yesterday. But to be clear - the color in the video is at least 90% of the magic.

    That's a pretty good explanation for a beginner like me coming from photo editing. I have so much to learn in video color grading world, this is scary and intimidating!

    Cool video! I do have a note/question. When you select the skin colors with the qualifier and show the selection, your video goes back to S-Log color space. So when you reference the skin line indicator on the vectorscope, you get to see what the colors looks like in S-Log, right? Not in REC709 after Joel's conversion (which is probably doing something to the colors, to match with the ARRI look). Maybe there is a solution to this, but I can't figure out an easy workflow to overcome this..

    Beautiful work, so happy you did this video! What I'm wondering is, how did you arrive to the decision to tone down the greens and tint the yellows to orange? Did you have a specific color harmony scheme in mind, that you moved towards?

    • @MicahPowell
      @MicahPowell  Рік тому +1

      Hey! Thanks for watching another one of my videos! so the way I came to that conclusion as I wanted all of the yellow trees to pop and stand out. and I accomplished that by toning down all of the other colors excluding skin tones. Since green was the most prominent, I cranked that all the way down and instantly made a big difference!

    Great tutorial! Quick question regarding phantom luts--are you shooting in Sgamut3cine slog3? I have tried that color mode with my A7C with Slog2 but I'm getting weird orangish tones vs. the default sgamut color mode, but I'm guessing the A7siii solves all these issues...your tutorial also reminds me that I really need to learn DaVinci and stop using Premiere for color grading haha

    • @MicahPowell
      @MicahPowell  Рік тому +1

      for sure, I know the a7c has older color science, but im not sure what the small differences would be. I was shooting in sgamutcine.3 in slog3! dude you have to switch to davinci!!!!! haha!!

    hey there, i have a question... maybe a noob question, i know.
    Why is so good this lens?
    I mean, you have got the skills, a beautiful model, and the colors... the video was Slog, so plain.... it came toghether thanks to your editing skills.
    Sooo... why we should buy this lens, if its not giving me better color? (Wich is what i hate from Sony, the colors).
    Also, i wonder if it is possible to take frames out of a video like this and just make it a photo. I think the quality is suberb and nobody would know that it was not actually a photo?
    Great job, subscribed here!
