can you see the difference i haven't
done much it's
already make it so much better this is
film converts
this is my convert oh my god
and with film converts it can it just
manage to do it better than me like
what the hell now i question my color
creating skill
first let me get this straight this
video is sponsored by film converts film
to talk about their film convert
lightray lightray by frame converts
something like that
that's the new film converter which is
nitrate when i do sponsor video i don't
usually
only talk about the product i usually
make it into a tutorial
but this time because after i tried it
it
is really great it is honestly honestly
i
am blown away actually i heard about
film converts years ago
by a lot by from philly bloom i met
flipboom before
obviously i shot the pro photographer
cheap camera challenge with freedom
for free boom but then i always think
that i don't really need that
cinematic free make look i'm not over
that
it's just for youtube it's fine i just
doing reveal i'm not doing
a drama dramatic drama
that's my cat
yeah i'm talking about you i've been
using a7s too
strongly people say that also only
cameras i mean old sony cameras the
color
is horrible i think i've done a pretty
good job to color correct those footage
for my youtube
but after apply frame convert lightray
set the setting a little bit wow it's
next level like what i'm going to do is
show you some of my previous youtube
video
from uh the final cut pro
project of the previous youtube youtube
video i've done
and we can see how can it
upgrade all the great color correction
work i've done
it can do it better seriously
i'm going to demonstrate it on final cut
pro x because i'm an apple fanboy but it
supports everything else
almost adobe the windy resolve and the
offer free trial for free
it's full feature you can use all the
features it provided with
watermark but there's no time limit on
the free trial
now this is the last video i've released
retro rk
in tokyo it is great you should check it
out i'll show you some
out run if you have played it before
this is a great game it's still great
now and i
show you a pinball game and then some
other games as well so check it out
first in this video at the beginning i
showed you
a little bit of old footage from the gfx
100 announcement in japan so
now i can duplicate this one
and remove the grading i've done before
not grading the
color correction i've done before apply
the film convert
light trace and when you apply this
and you turn on the control panel you
have to tell
it what camera you are using so i was
using
sony i was using a7
s2 but the problem is the
color profile the camera profile sony
a7s ii
it doesn't have cd4 which i was using
this doesn't matter because i can i've
tried i can use a7
mach 3 and then apply the cinefor
s gamma 3 cine color from there
they also recommend that if you can't
find the exact match for your camera
or your camera color profile you can use
something
from the same manufacturer and
usually you find one that is good enough
so this one i
apply it and it already looks pretty
good
if you look at and this is previous
can you see the difference i haven't
done much
it's already make it so much better this
one is previously i thought it is good
enough
but turns out if you apply lightweight
the frame convert lightweight is getting
really long name before it's just frame
converts
yeah now it's lightweight and you can
make it even better set the shadow a
little bit i think it's a
little bit too contrastifu for me come
bring back some black
there we go it's already
and let's look at this one this is this
you can see
this should be something really simple
because uh when
i turn off the color correction i've
done
it's already like kind of it's not
horrible you could you can basically use
this
but i correct it to this duplicate it
delete the
color question i've done before apply
film converts
set it to sony a7
mark 3 cd4
turn up the saturation turn down the
exposure
a little bit of course it's frame
convert it's got a lot of film stuff for
you to choose from the default one
is a kd what is kd actually is kodak
they just don't want to
use somebody else is i mean a copyright
issue so
kd is called that and fj
fuji it's actually quite a lot fuji
this is some kind of motion movie motion
picture film that
seriously i know nothing about
filmmaking film i'm not going to pretend
that oh oh yeah
fujifilm 85 553 oh i love that now
you can check out their website they
have talked a little bit about
each film and first one is actually
daylight second one tungsten
fujifilm the other way around the first
one is tungsten the second one
is daylight also you can see it's quite
grainy it's quite a lot of noise because
it is film converts
it actually adds film noise on top of it
but for youtube video i don't really
want those noise so i can just
turn it off turn the gain strength
to zero but if you like those there are
actually quite a lot of setting there
actually you
it could be useful for me as well if i'm
going to film something that's
pretend to be retro for
fun yeah it's there you can set this
game saturation you can set the film
size it defaults at 45 full frame but if
you for example set it to
16 millimeters you can see the quite a
lot of
quite big grain also you can see if you
choose different film stock
the gain curve is different as well this
is
really they are really serious about
this
oh actually i almost forgot to say this
the whole video this whole video is the
first time
i convert not called words i grade the
whole video with film called words
actually after i released this video on
my cantonese channel
someone called comment that he liked the
color from here and he think it looks
film-like
i didn't say anything about what i've
done to the color and someone already
spotted this look from filming
it's a cooler word to say this is filmic
or cinematic let me show you this bit
when i copy it let me try to adjust this
on with the old way like because this is
a hlg
video so i apply a hdr2
and then i do my usual
color correction now the back of my leg
is a little bit green so i want to
adjust the highlight
to compensate that without making
my shirt too red
especially in this difficult lighting
situation
it's sometimes quite time consuming
so this would be usually what i've done
manually
with the default file capro x
color correction tool and this is what i
have done before with filmmaker
the filmmaker film converts lightray you
can see the back
now this is the firecap pro this is film
convert you can see if you look at the
back of my leg
that green card it just disappear
this is what i've done and this is film
converts if you look at my face
my face is brighter the green cars
on the back of my leg disappear the
whole thing
just looks so much better
what kind of black magic this is
dark dark magic dark arts oh let's look
at another one shoot
professional video at home which i
released this one just a
week ago let's look at this one this one
is
yeah basically the same place here but
this is so much
brighter so let's see what we can do
with film converts
the really great plug-in that they pay
me to say this no it is really great
now this one i shot with
set cam which is also what i'm shooting
right now
now the thing is the set cam they have
only
for the setcam e2 but i have e2c
i think the color is a little bit
different but
it's not too bad okay if you compare it
to what i've done before
what what the amount of
better look at that
and even outside even the other the
window
the outside window is not as overblown
as what i've done before
this is crazy this video i've done
before is fujifilm x 100
versus xt 200 not actually versus but i
rebuild two camera in the same video
because
i've got them at the same time i
remember this is quite hard to
grade not really great i've only done a
color question
it's quite hard to correct especially
all the bright
led display at the background i don't
want those to be too overexposed
but i want my face to look normal now
my shirt is a little bit
purple as well now compared to film
converts
it says why my
skin color is so much better they must
have
because they say that they have study or
different
color adult different cameras color
performance
they must have correct the
weirdness from sony camera in fact they
have spent time on
each camera they support so it can
convert to the film stock you choose
another thing is that it make it so much
easier to match color from different
camera like this sony a7s ii
and panasonic s1 x and they look
identical of course it's possible doing
it manually
but the time it's safe is a lot
now how do i do that i can do it again
with a
film convert now the previous example i
showed you before is
always at home i can set my color i
can set my lighting but outside i don't
carry lighting i usually just
rely on the dynamic range of my sony
a7s2
and i want to adjust it later in pose so
that's why sometimes you
get weird color now i don't want to
overexpose
too much but i want my face to be
brighter
you can use a shadow too here but
i don't want the black become gray as
well and actually you can use the curve
let's try to curve two here
as you can see this time it doesn't look
that good
actually i think maybe it's a little bit
better than the
than the one that i did but
not really this one is actually worse
because
if i turn up the situation
uh the background looks good but my face
looks weird
i think because this is using film
converts it
expects you to have good exposure
it doesn't expect to adjust the
wrong exposure for you like i usually do
what i
find out is that i can apply a
color curve myself especially
move it above frame converts so in
falcon pro
this is that means that i apply color
curve first before it applies film
converts so
i can turn off film convert first
and in color curve i bring
it up a bit i bring i mean i bring up
the
shadow a bit and now i can apply
frame converts trickery now of course
you should nail the exposure
in camera by yourself but this is what i
do
when i'm shooting outside i don't want
to carry too much stuff i don't have a
car
i take bus and train for
over an hour to go to the
city center so i can't carry too much
stuff
i don't have lighting so this is how i
manage that this is film converts
this is my converts oh my god
the last example i really want to show
you is when i reveal the sony
20 millimeters f 1.8
this shot is really difficult to color
correct
i remember this i spent a lot of time on
this
because this one if you look at the
original is i've got a light zest shine
on me that is reflected from
a golden kind of a golden color
reflective
window i like this spot up looking down
on the street so i really want to show
you there
got a bright light on me so i think
what the hell i will color correct later
turns out it's a really difficult task
now this is what i can do with film
converts
remember this was a really weird color
footage the color is weird the contrast
is really weird between me
and the background but the frame
converts can do this
compared to lock on words
can you see a different this is lock
convert and
film converts the whole scene is
brighter compared to log converts and
with lock onward if you look at the
people here
it's a little bit purple if you look at
the building here the sky here
it's a little bit purple but look at
film converts
is it's still blueish but then it's more
natural this look at my face the skin
color
is so much better now converts it
is still weird it doesn't only work with
this kind of weird situation even with a
situation that i have done
my own lighting at home a control
environment this is not converts and
with film converts
it can it just manage to do it better
than me
like what the hell about i question my
color correcting skill turns out i'm not
that good well
i haven't really trained to be a
color grading so turns out
i have my basic color creating skill but
with film converts
it just upgrade that to
from this to that
so this is film convert lightweight from
film converts
which lightray is the latest version
but there's still film converts and
before they only call film converts but
it doesn't matter if you own
if you if it's the first time you heard
of it all you know is that this is film
convert
light rays i have heard about film
corner for years
as i mentioned i heard it from fear
bloom i always think that i don't need
it i don't need
i don't need my youtube video to look
filmic it is not drama
it's not drama short film but turns out
it can still do
a better job on color correcting than
myself
as i mentioned this is sponsored but
they didn't
ask me to say anything they didn't have
like bullet points for me to say
anything about film convert nitrate the
only influence they apply on me
is that they got me to actually try it
because
if not i probably won't spend my money
and try it out well
actually it got free trial but i never
think it will benefit me
grace that they asked me to make this
video and i actually tried
and i can say i can tell you that i will
continuing using it because yes it is
really great i love it
so check it out if you want it's free to
download
free to try out as long as you want
thank you for watching see you next time
maybe
no it's it's you next time not maybe
