Colourgrading

 

Colour accurate brand colours and product to the swatch number.

Making sure brand colours are consistent across platforms is important, especially when it’s a product for sale. The bottom right shows a photo of a scarf featured on a client’s website. I added an overall look to the video whilst isolating the scarf, colour matching the isolated scarf to the website photo.

 

Colourgrade + drone removal using tracking

  • Pass 1 - Original Shot

  • Pass 2 - Sky Colour

  • Pass 3 - Colour Noise Reduction

  • Pass 4 - Drone Removal

  • Pass 5 - Spotlight Enhancement (and some sound effects for a bit of fun!)

 

Colourgrade + Grain & TV light removal

As the two interviews were shot in different locations on different cameras, the colours needed matching in the grade to create consistency. Additionally, a TV screen was used in one of the interview shots that created unwanted blue light, this also had to be removed in the grade. Noise (visual) reduction was also required.

 

Colour/ Multi-Camera Matching

Shot on a mix of Sony & Blackmagic cameras with varying light settings, which required some fine tuning in the grade to create consistency.

Interview cut down

During this interview the interviewee was nervous and tired, which meant that the interview required a fair bit of cutting down and rearranging sentences to make it make sense, concise and digestible. In this video I show the original interview clips I selected work with for certain scenes alongside the final edits for the scenes.

 

Data wrangling, video formats and conversion

I have experience in working with large quantities of high quality footage, backing up and organising large quanitites of footage into organised edit projects; reducing hours and hours of footage to produce sets of succinct and focussed videos. I am also very familiar with 4k proxy workflows, identifying themes and creating selects timelines.

During my time in Dusseldorf at the 3 day International Judo event in 2020 I spent 3 days continually logging footage and backing up onto drives where high format footage was continually shot.
