    Euphoria was shot with an extremely low ISO in highly overlit sets. The actors felt like they were shooting a sitcom, but all of that was compensating for the lack of light that the camera would ultimately capture.

      That’s interesting because this season felt like the characters were getting a good look at themselves and their lives, actions, and messes. Like watching a sitcom with the laugh track off. And then they were like “oh… this isn’t funny…” That’s hella dope!

    The problem is that you're forgetting the texture. Softening the image is not all about the overall contrast or adding bloom / mist and so on. It's about removing the digital clarity that certainly gives away that someone is . Blurring out the hight frequencies. Dialing back something like midtone detail. And also... Gaussian blur, gang, 0.12-0.15 or something else depending on your shot. Replicate option. Then add a touch of sharpening back. You could also add more grain, you went way too mild, the blacks and the highlights should roll off more accurately, film emulation has a lot of nuances.

    Great video! With Ektachrome 100, its technically one of the most accurately white balanced films you can buy and doesn't add vibrant punchy colors to anything really but is contrasty and will really emphasize directional lighting. The biggest contribution to the crazy color was that while Ecktachrome is a transparency film (color positive) they actually processed the film as color negative film instead which adds a lot of coloring and a green/yellow tint which is apparent in most of the scenes. When I read that, having also shot ektachrome and cross processing it myself, I realized how familiar the coloring was. Pretty cool stuff. There's a great read on Indiewire.

  • @BenEricson
    @BenEricson 2 роки тому +11

    The scene recreations look awesome. Nice work. It seems that Ektachrome 100 really does a good job of creating a kind of golden skin tone. Even pale complexion on a overcast day can have a golden / bronze type hue that digital and certainly other film stocks have trouble replicating. You can really see it at 6:33.

    Awesome video, as always, Spenser! Only thing i'd do different while coloring this would be taking some of the red out of the image. It's so close to the actual look of euphoria, but I feel like there was still a lot of red in the skintones specially. Anyway, great content!

    When I studied photography in the later 89's I rarely used Ektrachrome. It was rather cold and blue in tint. Fujifilm had better contrast and very very deep greens. The skin tones were better than Ektrachrome for olive coloured skin tones. My go to colour film was Kodachrome, as Simon and Garfunkel sang, "Gives us lifes bright colours" Iford had the best black and white.

    For the first setup you did I wouldve probably just bounced a spotlight to the ceiling with molton taped on it. This gives you a fairly soft top light which is pretty much what you were searching for I think.

    you should try shooting it on film. Kodak Ektachrome is a color reversal film. It has a very limited latitude for exposure, compared to 10 stops ish you get from a negative stock.
    Its available on 16mm and super8. You might even be able to find 100' rolls of 35mm. Send it to a lab, get a flat scan at 2k or 4k and you are in business!

    If you are bored, try proding at the themes that are explored in the movies. I started doing that and boy oh boy now I'm never ever bored while watching anything. Even if the movie is garbage there's so much shit to uncover and dissect.
    Start with colonialism, it's very common in movies since most of them are made in the West. But you'll have to do some serious research before you understand the extent of what colonialism is and how still affects people and how movies and TV affect our perception of Colonialism.
    Yt channel: Folding Ideas. It is a good starting point to understand what kind of themes can be explored in movies. Dan does are very good job of explaining how different themes are explored in movies (both intentionally and unintentionally)
