in today's video we're gonna be creating this video using my own awesome blood
that I created for pocket camera while ago about a year ago so today we're
gonna do this grading and this lot
alright so in this video we're gonna use couple really awesome techniques that I
showed before but I don't think I kind of implement them all together so let's
dive into the venturi resolve and find out what I did alright let's get started
so here's our clip that I've shot on the pocket camera original pocket camera
about two years ago it was all hand held with the Sigma 18 to 35
there was no stabilization I think it was just basically handheld shot so the
first thing I'm gonna do is to clean the footage a little bit because it's a
pocket camera and as some of you guys know the pocket camera is actually
pretty noisy so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go over here and the motion
effects I'm gonna do three frames better let's increase a little bit kind of like
that and I'm gonna increase a little bit of chroma now this is not necessarily
the most ideal way of doing it but for the sake of tutorial this is fast and
dirty so I'm gonna label this as an hour noise reduction and I'm going to create
a new node and in the next node I'm gonna use my own special lot that I
built about a year ago for pocket camera okay
right-click lots that are m'kay let's pocket boom and right away we have
cinematic conversion with accurate skin tones I specifically built a slot to
make skin look as accurate as possible with the 5600 Kelvin temperature so
basically I try to do accurate representation with it
if you guys interested in this lot it's on sale in my store I'm gonna put link
in the description below so I'm gonna label this as lot okay and let's analyze
what we have so basically she's walking walking walking walking and down to the
server okay so it's great I gonna start grading after the Lud so log
did its job let's take a look real quick before and
after okay before and after so now we have basically fantastic rec.709 so what
I'm gonna do I'm gonna start adding a little bit a field that we add some
kinda maybe futuristic facility basically this whole thing was shot at a
local news station in it's actually server server room you know we we have
to be very careful over there obviously because there's a lot of important
things in there but this is what we're gonna do I'm gonna add one really cool
plugin the one that comes with DaVinci Resolve and that plug-in is aperture
diffraction okay just like this and all of a sudden we have old-school Led
Zeppelin concert over here okay what I'm gonna do I'm actually going to probably
let's see probably gonna go like this and I'm gonna do blending that way it's
not too much that way we just kinda have a little bit of accent that way it's not
too much in our face let me see maybe I can even do a little bit more see
something like that okay so that looks fantastic next thing I'm gonna do is
apply the look that I want so I'm gonna label this as effect okay and this one
going to be look boom alright and in my look I want to do futuristic very
redundant I want to make everything kind of blue okay just like that I'm sure
Michael Bay would be proud of me okay so very simple like this probably
highlights I can do maybe a little bit warm and gamma maybe a little bit green
but generally I kind of want to be in this ballpark all right so everything
looks kind of ridiculous you may ask and you're actually absolutely correct about
it so here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna push alt + L and we're gonna convert it
into a layer node and in the layer node what I'm gonna do now I actually going
to define the split in the temperature so I'm gonna go into qualifier okay and
with the qualifier only thing that I want is saturation okay and basically if
I'm gonna go kind of let me turn on the highlight if I'm gonna go down like this
we can see basically what's happening so I'm gonna go opposite way okay something
like that and I'm gonna make it very very soft okay like this again this is
not necessarily the most accurate way but for the sake of tutorial we're gonna
let it pass all right let's see as long as we don't have too much dancing and
craziness that should do it alright so that looks great let's get
out of here and all of a sudden we have everything sort of balanced about a
little bit but that's not all let's go again to the look and back to the color
wheels in the color wheels I'm gonna go to log and with this log what I'm gonna
do is to bring everything more equal in the shadows so what I'm gonna do is try
to balance shadows a little bit okay just like this but now I kind of gonna
start rolling it back that only very bottom part of the shadows actually
going to be affected okay just like this and all of a sudden we have a very
interesting effect going on we sort of left everything blue at the same time
the black looks black so therefore it looks natural now I'm going to combine
all this just like that and let me label it as look and let me
show you before and after look how big of a difference before and after okay
let's see over here one more time before and after now the cool thing about this
if we feel that we did a little bit too much we can always go to the game put
point let's do 700 all right
so that looks much more natural now but that's not all now I want to start doing
a little bit interesting sort of sci-fi effect gonna create another node and in
this node basically what I'm gonna do is to add let's see what should I add I
want to add a little bit of lens distortion okay not too crazy not too
much not too crazy but something like that let me go over here I'm gonna zoom
in a little bit okay so we kind of have a little bit distorted view now so I'm
gonna call this one Distortion next I'm gonna go and do some really cool
trickery with the channels I'm gonna push alt white okay alt Y whoa out of
space okay let me organize this really quick all right much better so this is
basically when you push alt Y you separate clip to RGB let me label this r
g and b so separately basically there are different channels that we can
control what I'm gonna do now I'm gonna zoom in a little bit and by the way
let's check it out what we've done so far so before and
after before and after okay that looks really cool so I'm gonna zoom in a
little bit and what I'm gonna do and I'm gonna orient her eyeball as a
reference point I'm gonna go into note sizing over here okay by default is
gonna be edit sizing but I need note sizing because I'm gonna be manipulating
individual nodes and basically what I'm gonna do I'm gonna pan a little bit on
the side okay just like this I'm gonna go to the blue channel and I'm gonna do
exactly the same in the blue Channel okay that way it will create a little
bit kind of a digital feel to it so I can see right away that I really like
how it looks he started looking very interesting so really quick before and
after before and after even though a little difference believe me it makes a
huge impact so basically this is gonna be and there's a plugin for it but I
don't like how this plugin work basically we create a chromatic
aberration so let me label this I'm gonna put chroma okay one very important
thing just don't go too far too much with this kind of technique because then
your image kind of gonna start looking a little bit cheesy so make sure to be
very sort of precise and accurate how exactly you're applying this kind of
technique so we created chromatic aberration that looks very very cool so
we can see now from original clean shot we start getting into very interesting
kind of crazy looking image so next one going to be Vinny ending and I'm gonna
do very little bit of vignette just to make sure that we're focusing on the
center of the frame okay just like this very soft I'm gonna flip it basically
invert it and go back to primaries and just kind of crush the sides of it again
I'm gonna make it very soft okay something like that I don't want to make
it too crazy alright so that looks great and now the final touch I want to do
so this is gonna be Vinny adding I want to add film grain basically I want to
distort my shot even more so with the film grain over here textures and by the
way you can use any kind of film grain you like I personally absolutely love
film convert film grain and I also have 10% by the way discount on the film
convert if you ever want to purchase it I have links in the description over
here so I'm gonna do 16 millimeters because this is kind of a big and large
grain that's what I like okay so let me zoom in again and what I'm gonna do I'm
gonna increase the green strength a little bit okay a little bit texture
okay just like that and let's see how it's looking let's go to the full screen
let's close all that let's loop the playback hope it was already checked and
play it back we can see that with the very few steps I created this very
interesting kind of sci-fi look basically very simple very
straightforward make sure to check out my lot link in the description I have
actually the store on my website that lot is the very first to go and be sure
to check it out alright that was it hopefully you guys enjoyed be sure to
subscribe and I will see ya soon
