Hey Everyone. Welcome to the channel!
My name is Victor Melchor, and today
we're going to talk about a couple of my favorite film profiles in Dehancer.
And if you're not familiar with the dehancer,
it is an amazing film emulation plug in, and it's been my primary color editing
tool for the past few months now.
Now, there are currently 63 film profiles, so it can be a bit daunting
when trying to figure out which film profile to choose.
And that's something that I did struggle with
in the beginning when I started using Dehancer.
But over the past few months, there has been two film
profiles that I've been consistently using,
and they give me the look and feel that I want.
So today I'll show you
those film profiles as well as my color grading workflow for them.
Now, before we get into it, I do want to announce the winner of
that DaVinci Resolve giveaway that I did a few weeks ago,
and the way I want to pick a winner today is I'm going to use a YouTube
random comment picker,
so I'm going to paste the YouTube link in here and we'll see who wins.
Why am I why am I nervous for this dude?
Yeah, I'll do anything goes. Okay.

There we go.
All right. So huge. Congrats to Wade.
I will DM you shortly and provide you with all the info to get your DaVinci
Results Studio license.
It's just really cool that I'm able to do this.
So again.
Huge Thank you to Blackmagic Design for providing the license for this
and thank you to everyone else who participated.
I definitely will be doing more giveaways in the future,
but for now, I hope you enjoyed this one.
And now back to video.
So my first favorite film profile is Fujifilm Natura
1600 combined with the film print Kodak Endura, glossy Paper.
Now I really like the film profile just because it produces
nice natural colors, but it also doesn't look as bland as a regular Rec709 look.
It's very clean and it's not over stylized, so you can use it for a variety
of different lighting situations and different types of shots.
I've been using this film combination for all of my talking pieces on YouTube,
and it always produces a really great image and it's a very simple workflow.
So I'll show you that now.
So we're going to press option s, of course, to create the nodes.
I'll start with three Drag and Drop Dehancer on the third node, and we'll pick
our camera,
and then we got that.
We're just going to scroll down to film.
I'm going to select the Fujifilm Natura 1600.
I'm actually going to turn off the film Grain right now.
And now for the print, we're going to go to Kodak
Endura glossy paper, and there we go, we pretty much got our look baked in.
I just need to tweak the exposure, temperature and my skin tones.
All right, so first we're going to go to this first node.
I'm going to boost up the shadows quite a bit.
And I'm going to drop the highlights.
Also going to boost the saturation just a tad.
I'm going to go back to the third note and make a few more changes.
So I'm going to go back up to the top, adjust the temperature
it looks pretty good so far.
Now, I'm
going to go back to the film print and I'm going to boost the exposure a tad.
And the reason I don't like boosting the exposure on the input is
just because I lose my highlights and they get blown out a lot quicker.
So refresh that we go we're going to boost our highlights.
As you can see, it looks quite flat.
So I'm going to boost up the tonal contrast as well.
There we go.
Color density, which is pretty much like the saturation.
I like to boost that up to 100
just because I do like a bit more of a saturated image and there we go.
We've pretty much got our look.
I really like everything.
I just want to go to my skin tones.
So now for my skin
tones, I'm going to go to Node two, click the dropper icon select my skin tones,
and I'm just going to warm them up a little bit.
There's a little bit of magenta, so I'm just going to add a touch of green.
Drop the highlights a bit, boost up the saturation.
There we go.
We are done with our grade and we've got some pretty pleasing colors out of it.
All right.
So now that I do have this clip color gradied,
to save a little bit of time, I'm just going to select
all of these nodes, press, command+C to copy,
go to clips and the next time I show you this clip.
So now I'm going to press Command+V and paste that same look onto your footage.
All I have to do
is some minor tweaking in the highlights and maybe some of the greens
that I want to do. So let's get into it.
So I'm going to go to this first node, all I'm gonna do
is drop the highlights just a bit more.
And now I'm going to go to the second node because I do want to tweak the greens
just a tad.
So we're going to go to our dropper icon, click this magic wand,
and we're just going to select everything that is green.
Okay, now that we have the green selected, what we're going to do is cool them down
a little bit.
I'm going to call them down to the -20 and then we are going to change the tint
a little bit.
I just want to make them
a little bit more green and I kind of want to make them pop so negative. 11.
And also you can push and pull the film.
So I'm actually going to push it a little bit.
I'm going to adjust the tent a little bit and the temperature
I'm going to ten and now under the print I'm going to boost it just a tad more.
All right. And there we go. We got our clip
and another combination that I occasionally use with Fujifilm
Natura1600 is the film print Fujifilm 3513.
Now this gives you a bit more stylized look with the shadows
and the green is leaning towards a cooler tone.
I don't think it works for every scene,
but when it does work, it really looks good.
All right.
And the second film profile that I use pretty consistently is Cinestill 800T.
Now my workflow for Cinestill is honestly exactly the same.
So I won't to show you that all over again.
I'll just let the footage speak for itself.
I like to use Cinestill when I'm going for a more filmic look.
I find it really complements Cinestill when you enable
all the other film emulation like Halation and Bloom,
which Cinestill is known for and also film grain.
All right.
So that is it for a few of my favorite film profile combinations.
