in today's video i'm gonna be working with the raw film footage to show you
how basically you can do sort of free lighting and refocusing in DaVinci
Resolve now this technique is not really something new I'm basically doing
popular demand reply because a lot of people asked me to do this video so
enjoy
in today's video I'm basically replying popular demand and I'm gonna do tutorial
on how to create focus on the character especially if you do interview or
commercial and stuff like that and it's gonna be very simple so I'm gonna show
you guys so here we have guy working on the letter I'm not sure exactly what but
something letter related probably belt so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna convert
this into rec.709 for this conversion I'm gonna use my own lot that I made for
red cameras okay so red film lot okay apply it really quick it kind of looks
crazy a little bit but I'm just going to balance it very simple like that okay so
I'm gonna call this one look alright so here we have the shot the guy working
everything seems pretty cool so this is how you do focus it's very easy first of
all look around it see where life is coming from we obviously can see that
light is coming from the ceiling as a matter of fact we can see the actual
light with the honeycomb on it I'm guessing this is where the main source
of the lights coming from also based on the shadows we can see that there's some
other light coming pretty much directly on him so this whole area illuminated
well we can really easy work with that so let's create a little circle mask and
basically what I'm gonna do I'm just going to extend it like that and give it
a nice feather and now I'm gonna start cranking it down and I'm gonna flip the
mask basically I'm going to invert it make sure that you have enough
feathering the way edges don't look very kind of weird and rough okay something
like that for the sake of if you want to make it look
kind of cool and proper what we can do we can actually track it we don't have
perspective we don't have rotation we do have a zoom so let's keep all of that
and just click next and we can see that the mask is being tracked to the guy
okay the way it looks like it's actual light source hey that looks pretty cool
and now so I'm gonna call this one light and now I'm gonna do another node and in
this node what I'm gonna do I'm gonna pass information from this node with
this blue little square to this little triangle and basically now all that
information gonna be passed to this node the mask
so now what I'm gonna do go to the blur and I'm gonna just basically kind of
blur it around them don't do it too much otherwise it would look kind of crazy
but a little bit nobody will notice so let me show you before and after before
and after so if this something important if this let's say important subject for
the interview you kind of want to do a little bit of emphasizing of what this
person's doing so you can get away by using this method now let's go all the
way to the end okay let's zoom in and check it out before
and after so that's pretty cool and we're pretty much done and in the final
note what you can do you can add a little bit of contrast kinda just to
give it more I guess contrast you look okay something like that and we're
pretty much done with a few clicks of the button we turn this regular sort of
even though it's shot very very well into more higher-end looking image thank
