all right in today's video we gonna be working with the footage from rah film
and I'm sorry I don't have my camera going on I'm in the middle of the couple
projects so I have my gear all over the place anyways we're gonna be turning
this clip over here with me a really quick go full screen into that okay and
I'm gonna show you exactly how to do that it's very simple we're gonna be
working and using multiple techniques so let's get started
alright so we in DaVinci Resolve and the first thing we're gonna do we're gonna
change few camera settings and one of them would be IPP - we have it set up
here color space red white gamut and gamma curve for popular request we're
gonna do 3G 10 okay so just like this alright and the first thing I'm gonna do
I'm gonna create a new node and I'm gonna call this one contrast I'm gonna
start with a contrast this tutorial is not about order of operation I'm just
gonna go by how I feel so let's take a look right here at the scopes and what
I'm gonna do I'm gonna start increasing contrast until we kind of start crashing
it you see how the Scopes being like blacks being crushed okay at this point
I think this is it this is enough I don't need to do more okay and right
away we have very actually fantastic result I'm not gonna be crushing blacks
more because I like it to be a little bit milky and by the way my next video
I'm gonna do explaining the difference between blacks and basically when to use
in what situation so this is a contrast okay now I'm not gonna be doing any kind
of saturation because this shot looks absolutely fantastic on its own one
thing you have to keep in mind and it's very by the way dangerous when you have
shot like that whenever talent have bright red like very saturated red like
that or blue or sometimes yellow you always have to watch out for this kind
of shadows okay this kind of shadows can really
ruin your color grading and technically there is nothing you can do one thing
I'm going to do though is to reduce a little bit of saturation of that red
just a tiny bit to kind of keep it under control so I'm gonna call this one
red saturation we're gonna go into costume over here Q versus saturation
I'm gonna select let's select something like that and the reason why I'm saying
this because red is very close to skin tones skin tones actually somewhere
around here between like red and yellow so you always kind of have to watch out
how much red you have in your shot because a little bit of red can really
ruin entire color grading so always be careful what are you doing how you do it
okay so that's fine next thing we're gonna start basically shaping the focus
of the shot and by shaping the focus I'm gonna do very sloppy sort of mask okay
I'm gonna do let's do something kind of like that okay it's gonna be very very
dramatic I don't really want to do okay just like that a little bit of her face
and what I'm gonna do I'm gonna give it a little kick okay kind of like that is
fine make sure you have enough softness otherwise you're gonna have kind of a
nasty line like that so softness nice good transition and
let's take a look really quick before and after it makes very huge difference
so now basically it start becoming more angelic you know now our eyes
automatically focusing more on this girl and what is going on so I'm gonna do one
more I'm gonna call this one focus - okay so for the focus - I'm gonna use
the round one and this time we're gonna do a little bit more more relaxed
approach something something like that and again I'm gonna give it a slight
kick okay for focus one by the way make sure
you track it so we don't have zoom with them real have rotation perspective so
track backwards and then track forward it doesn't need to be hundred percent
perfect tracking but something that it doesn't really Bengals around just in
case okay for this one same thing let's just track it backwards okay just like
this okay so far so good like I said it doesn't need to be perfect track okay so
you know let's check it out really quick what we've done so before and after very
important how you film it obviously plays a huge role in to how much
cinematic effect you can do so always film things in a correct way don't over
expose and don't crash blacks okay now I'm gonna do a little bit of look okay
and with the look I already personally love how it looks but I'm gonna do a
little more what I'm gonna do I'm kind of gonna give a little sort of purplish
feel to it okay and then I'm gonna go into the log and my low range I'm gonna
drop it down because I want to correct like the deep black part at the same
time I want to keep that overall purple color so what I'm gonna do since purple
I'm gonna start pushing it in the opposite way okay kind of like that even
though we still have tiny cast but I like it so really quick before and after
check it out so this was our original and now after okay see how much
difference it makes now some of you watching gonna say oh
you know you're you're affected skin tones whatnot it's okay
it's okay to affect the skin tones because our skin changes color or
reflection I should say depending on the overall environment so if you're in a
crazy color room your skin gonna be affected by that so when you color great
if your skin turns slightly a little bit like this it's still okay it's still a
correct skin tone so don't listen to those crazy tutorials where your skin
tone is supposed to be right on the line because it's complete BS and it's not
true okay so here we have very interesting and now I'm gonna use a very
simple technique it's kind of actually from photography technique we're gonna
do RGB individually in a monochrome mode what that means basically now we're in
black and white and now I can affect channel individually with the RGB now
what do you want to do when you play in this mode is obviously drop it down so
you can see so this is ear this has no effect let's do something around 200 for
now and start playing with the parameters and you're gonna see a very
huge difference so I like blue like that okay something like this and then red
okay Brad we can go actually a little bit deeper okay we basically doing this
saturation in a very interesting way so again this is no effect practically and
this is a little bit don't you crazy adjustment you know like very rough you
do everything little by little okay so we can see actual effect of it let me go
full screen again so okay before and after we can see how with the RGB was
sort of muted her dress which is very cool technique especially if on your
vectors sometimes you may be going outside the
legal limits and you have this kind of thing going on
alright so what else can we do if you want to do a little bit interesting look
a little bit more cinematic we can do a couple more things we can come back to
focus okay we can create on your note okay let's pull them over here and from
the focus have this little blue arrow over here it's gonna transfer the mask
so with this mask basically it takes information from the focus and this one
I'm gonna call Brailler okay and now if we're gonna go in a blur I
like to use mist we can basically kind of give it a slight pop and you can see
again before and after you can see we blurring it out a little bit don't do
too much again depending what you want to achieve
just slightly can really make a big difference now I want to take this whole
thing a little bit further okay let's say we're doing expensive commercial and
you know every shot counts so for now what I'm gonna do okay
remember all those adjustments I'm gonna create a compound the way we're not
really dealing with all that so I'm creating a new note and in this note I'm
gonna go to color notes at splitter combiner alt y okay and now again we
have RGB okay so if we're gonna go to highlights over here we see RGB all
difference okay let me go it like that so RGB all different what we can do red
green and blue okay red Channel okay the first thing I'm gonna do with a red
Channel and you can see it's actually going to be kind of kind of cool effect
a little bit we're gonna go over here into input
sizing I'm gonna do note sizing and basically I'm just going to pan it a
little bit on the side okay same thing I'm gonna do with the green okay I'm
gonna do slightly kind of slightly like that there we go this effect creates a
feeling of old lenses we have like purple fringing going on now
and it's actually really cool effect to do so again before and after before and
after let me do fullscreen okay oh come on what's going on here before and after
before and after we can see right away how it started getting that VHS type of
feeling so on top of that what we can do we can add 16 millimeter grain that's
what I'm gonna do okay 16 millimeter grain go to the thing grain I like film
convert but for the sake of tutorial let's keep everything original let's
zoom in we have a little bit grain I'm gonna add a little bit more strength
okay just like that okay before let's up no all right there we go one more time
there we go so now we have grain going on I'm gonna make it a little bit
stronger don't make grain too strong because
you're gonna start actually rowing in your shot so kind of kind of so you can
see the effect of it and it's not like it's nothing like this otherwise your
shot gonna look like crap alright so here we have girl playing very nice now
I want to do a bit more interesting look to it so I'm gonna do
one more little adjustment we're gonna go in the settings we're gonna go to
image scaling and over here we have scale entire image to fit okay this is
fine now here I'm gonna in check it and I'm gonna do by 800 and now we're gonna
have basically naturally super white screen just like that because I'm a
really big fan of that kind of 70 millimeter type of look so again this is
what we started and this is what we ended up with now with this kind of
technique you can basically you know imitate like home videos or if the
commercial is naturally asking for it you can do more interesting look to it I
think this is very appropriate to what we've done what else you can do is very
simple to kind of mimic a little bit of film you can go separately into RGB and
you can add a little bit yellow kind of to the highlights it will add a little
kind of film film vibe slightly something like that because we don't
want to mess with that purple thing that I have going on okay again full screen
so we can see that highlights turn a little bit yellowish so that's about it
